Coronavirus Thread of Doom

Got offered the jab today through work. Needless to say I said yes.

What job, or jab as they say in England?

I work for the council as a general dogsbody picking up everything from sofas to discarded pythons. They've said I qualify because I work in mid-rise flats, whatever that means. I wasn't asking questions.

Do you get to drive around in a truck looking busy?

As a kid I remember there was two guys worked for the town and that's what they did. Picked up road kill probably did some light drinking and called it a day, it was a small town and different times.

That's pretty much me.

Got my first jab on Friday. They opened it up for pre-existing conditions (my past kidney issues weren't listed, but they didn't actually check). The reason I and others were able to get in is because in the next county over, they had a ton of unclaimed vaccines. The residents don't want them. ONE COUNTY OVER. I stopped to grab some mints at a gas station and it was like COVID didn't exist. Nobody was wearing masks and everyone looked at me like I was a freak for wearing one.

Next jab is on Feb. 12th. No side effects aside from arm soreness.

Sorry about all of the stress you dealt with, Hoy. That really sucks.

There is a quality of some Americans that defies understanding. Wholly immune to the basics of self-preservation or good sense.

My nephew is in the foreign service in South America. He and his wife took their kids to the birthday party of a young son of one of the American diplomats. They thought it would be a small affair, plenty of room for distancing and all that. Nope. Over 50 people and none of the Americans wore masks. Non-Americans did their best to stay outside in the yard and maintain space. But my nephew said that if anyone was infected, yeah, they're all infected now.

People are so stupid.

Yeah Trump had done a lot of purging of those ranks in general. Any of his appointees really need to be weeded out.

“Sir, all the nasal swabs are gone, and I assure you I am not enjoying this any more than you are. Now if you’ll please just stick your butt out the window…”

At least fetishizing this makes more sense than the nose one.

Only 75 years!

I was picturing it in the form of a Ziggy single panel comic. This new testing method probably wouldn’t lend itself to drive-thru testing though.

My younger cousin is a dental student and gets tested regularly, not sure if by nasal or oral swab. He stopped over at my parents’ house last week to drop something off, and my aunt called to say he had tested positive 2 days later, and then negative 2 days after that, so who the hell knows. He is quarantining and they haven't left the house to be on the safe side. My parents are 73 and 74 years old, so hopefully the negative test was the accurate one and they weren’t exposed. Apparently everybody was masked up and he only stood inside the front door for about 2 minutes, so the risk of exposure seems low. Cousin is symptom-free and my parents are due to get the vaccine in early February. It would be nice to have more reliable tests if we’re ever going to get a handle on this thing.
