It must be coming on election time.
The usual suspects are trotting out 'Disease X', with a drum roll of panic-mongering... .
Meanwhile, word is coming from China that roughly a third of their remaining population have some form of 'White Lung', which weakens their resistance to all sorts of airborne diseases... .

My library's executive secretary is out again with COVID.
That leaves three of us plus a part-timer to keep my library open eleven hours a day, six days a week (by new city council diktat).
Meanwhile, our city council has frozen our budget, with no hiring or overtime allowed - and one of our full-timers is a transfer from another department who is totally untrained at library work and can't be left alone.
I hope that everyone else stays healthy... .

And yet again.
The head of the City's Development Commissions, who used to be the Mayor, has an office in my library.
He came in sick with some virus or other and passed it on to me.
Covid?
Who knows.
Anyway, I've had a rough week... .

Feeling better.
Had an otherwise pleasant and respectful Memorial Day.
Back to work Tuesday.

Masks are back in my library.
The son of a city employee who has been moved into one of my meeting rooms is being checked for COVID.
Although this city employee is not actually part of the library staff, she wants us to pony up for masks, Lysol, Clorox, sanitary wipes and other janitorial materials.
I told her to ask the supervisor of her actual department.
My budget is frozen.

I've had some virus or other for the last week.
Might be COVID, might be something else.
Nothing else to do but keep my distance from other folk - and take stuff like Dayquil.
Testing would just be a waste of time...

My sister's cat, J'zargo, was very concerned about how sick my sister is, so he brought her a lizard to help her get better...

My sister and I are still recovering.
It hit her hardest in her lungs, which were already damaged years ago.
It got me in my lower digestive tract, which alternates between constipation and diarrhea.
Ah, well.
Things are slowly improving...

I refused the vaccine as I was down with flu-like symptoms with extreme fatigue that persisted for 3 week in January of 2020 and figured that was Covid-19 here on the west coast.
Since then, while others who got the vaccine came down with multiple bouts of Covid with some still recovering with residual/lasting effects, wife and I have not been sick with Covid. We had a day or two of feeling "blah" once or twice a year but that was the extent.
My doctor urged that I take the vaccine each year during annual physical but when she saw me this year, I went "I guess natural herd immunity did pretty good?" and she smiled and said, "Yes". She did confirm many of her patients who got the vaccine shots indeed did come down with multiple bouts of Covid afterwards ...
May be wife and I got lucky?

My sister and I took the Moderna series during 2020 as a required part of our jobs.
We've both had three or four viruses since, two of which proved positive for COVID.
No more jabs for COVID, though.
I'm more nervous about the jab than the disease...
