My part-time clerk is out again.
She tested positive - again.
Minimal symptoms, and she is a lat-middle-aged diabetic that won't stay on her diet.
I had similar symptoms last weekend but didn't bother getting tested.
It felt like a mild allergy attack... .

I'm into my 2nd week after what felt like a monster allergy attack. Partial loss of my voice from all the coughing. Lung capacity is down, but i'm still standing, just not as long as I'd like. :D

-And around it comes again.
My self-titled Executive Secretary came down with it Monday.
That means that all of my employees have had at least one iteration of COVID-19, including myself.
-And yes, we've all been vaccinated... .

I had a second-hand anecdotal report from a person with connections in California saying that the seasonal influenza outbreak there is really bad, with hospitals overwhelmed and people being treated in tents. I've seen nothing on the news. Time for yet another national emergency and suspension of Constiutional rights and due process protections?

what, USNS Mercy and Comfort are unavailable? or maybe, just maybe, tent city flu people is a fucking lie?

and for the record, we're pretty sure (i'm untested, unvaccinated) i've had it 4 times so far. this last checked all the boxes for Long 'Rona, and I still survived. Ironically, the thing that helped the most, was cardio focused exercising, specifically bicycling. :D

Well, I'm noticing more masked people again in public spaces, so apparently they're still believing the fake news media.

On the local news today (Fox channel) about the "Tripledemic" - surging flu, RSV and Covid. Why? People's immune systems depressed by being deprived of routine low level exposure to viruses and other pathogens.

This was known all along.

So in other words, the adult version of "Timmy is sick! send everyone to his house!" hasn't been in effect and it's fucking people up.

DUH!!!

But the White House response is, "Quick, sheeple! Put your masks back on and hide in your houses!!
The new jab will be along shortly to make everyone perfectly safe and healthy!!!!

-And the couf strikes again.
It made for a rather uncomfortable New Year.
Maybe COVID, maybe some other virus... .

I've welcomed a non-profit group that is giving free COVID shots here in the library on Saturdays.
There is increasing evidence that the initial Moderna shots are not a problem, but boosters given within a year actually reduce resistance to newer versions of the virus.
The J&J and Pfiser vaccines are less effective, of course, but even those should not be followed by a booster for at least 12 months.
Otherwise, the antibodies that are triggered by the vaccine are mostly against the previous version of the virus, not the new one.
This is apparently also true for following one booster with another, different one within a year.
Vaccinations should be allowed to lapse before getting a booster... .

-And one of my three co-workers tested positive again.
That leaves me and two other people, one being a part-timer. to run a public library that's open six days a week... .

There is word of another wave of COVID within China.
Reportedly, it is supposed to peak at around 65,000,000 cases, but last week they said that the peak would be 11,000,000... .
Still, they have finally admitted that the disease will be endemic, rather than having epidemic status.
The disease, called the XBB variant now, is extremely transmissible.
Needless to say, Zero COVID Policies are now a dead letter.

And they're trying to crank up the panic machine yet again.
A new strain sweeping China, another variant found in four other countries, a new COVID preparedness plan from the White House, more masks, more shut-downs, more mail-in ballots... .

Here we go again - the southern border is once again the front line in the spread of COVID:

Hidalgo County (Texas) health officials are reporting a huge increase in the number of positive covid cases in the Upper Valley.

According to a news release from the Hidalgo County Health and Human Services Department, there were 1,012 new cases of coronavirus between Aug. 18 and Aug. 24. Of those numbers, 235 were confirmed and 777 were probable.

Nearly half of all the cases were in children and teens from the ages of newborn to 19.

The health department says 53 people are hospitalized with the virus. Thirty seven are adults and seven of those patients are in intensive care units. There are 16 children hospitalized as well and two are in ICU.

Since the start of the virus in the spring of 2020 the county has reported 277,296 cases of covid.

In this most recent report there were no fatalities reported in the county, but overall 4,171 people have died of coronavirus since 2020.

-And the puppeteers for Biden are already pushing a new jab and the same old mask mandate.
Then come the attempts at imposing a lockdown.
Then ballot printers get to go 'Brrrrrrr" again... .

Now Doctor Mrs. Biden has the Couf - again.
I thought that the jab and all those boosters made you Couf-proof... .

And now COVID numbers are rising - again.
There are demands for lockdowns - again.
Demands to allow mail-in voting - again.
BUT - the border remains open - again... .

Covid numbers rising? Sure they are, according to those who any rising numbers benefit. During the last scamdemic, my niece, an APM and head nurse said that anyone admitted with ANY respiratory illness was coded as Covid because Medicare pays more for Covid than pneumonia, COPD, emphysema, or any thing else. My sister-in-law's friends husband was admitted with end stage lung cancer and died. Covid on the death certificate although he was never tested. The bastards wouldn't even allow her to sit with him and hold his hand while he died.
