So gonna Max my Titers and get my booster next week just two questions;
1. Where have goons been going besides CVS? Anything I should know?
2. I’ve never had to worry about this before but Doctor Patient Privilege is a real thing and applies here right? I don’t like lying to doctors so I probably will let mine know I got a third jab if it ever comes up.

EDIT: In addition to the mask information from the old OP, which was loving fantastic, maybe we should have a guide to maxing your titers in the OP too?

on your 2. point, i had that feeling at first and then i tightened the straps that go around the crown of my head, it took all the pressure off my nose and i don't get that sliding sensation anymore

if you exhale normally and if doesn't pop off, you have a good seal check

1. cover the exhaust port with your hand, and exhale. if you have a good seal, the mask's edges should "puff up" against your skin as the escaping air has nowhere to go. If the seal is bad, the air will escape through there and it'll hiss out - that's a sign that you need to tighten or otherwise adjust the mask to fit your face correctly

2. push the two cartridges inwards with your hands, and inhale. if you have a good seal, you shouldn't be able to inhale anything, because the only way for air to get in is through the cartridge, except you've cut them off when you pushed them in. If the seal is bad, air will get in through somewhere. Again, that's a sign that you need to adjust your mask to get it to seal properly

you have to do this every time you don the respirator

Yeah they just announced 450k jabs for the 2 million over 18s that will just become eligible tomorrow. Word got out that the exhibition centre started a day early though so that's just the pre-panic queue.

I feel kinda bad for saying that as an immigrant to the country, but at the same time I guess the truth is the truth.

Sometimes they go to Step 2 immediately: Because for the Olympics opening ceremony they chose shithog after shithog, causing scandal after scandal they simply decided to simply not tell the press or the people who they chose to feature for the Paralympic opening ceremony which by the way is today. lmao

Edit: I mean let's see for the Olympics they had:
- A dude who said an obese woman should dress up as "Olympig" because you know she's fat and also female
- A dude who literally said on international TV: "the women talk too drat much, there shouldn't be any more women on the Olympic committee, it will make the meetings too long."
- A dude who said - again in public and without pressure that he enjoyed torturing the disabled and disadvantaged
- A dude who made an holocaust joke insinuating that Jews kinda aren't people

I probably forgot at least two. lol

Some years ago I went to a talk by that one Tokyo University professor that got briefly famous for posting Fukushima updates. And the one point that really stuck in my memory was how much the government had to be dragged kicking and screaming into measuring anything. Apparently if you don't look it can't be your fault. Apparently they apply the same philosophy to the pandemic and testing.
