Vaccination is just an extra layer of protection so you're less likely to die or suffer long-term complications from COVID. There was never a point to your life in the first place and we are never, ever getting back to normal.

The key to living now is to stop looking for a point to things and to make your own normal. You deal by learning new ways to appreciate life and expanding your internal horizons. Oh and by doom posting and laughing at our stupid insane loving existence.

I am 34 and never had any sort of relationship. My only friend lives half a continent away. I am trapped in a place where I don't speak the language, because my dad turns out to have manipulated my brother into making me move closer to him because he was worried I was lonely and somehow believed this whole thing would blow over. I am treated like a child by the only people I care about. I have nothing and now can GAIN nothing. What will reading a bunch of books solve? I essentially live in loving SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.

I talked my spouse into wearing n95s on the plane down here. good ones. I am constantly surrounded by maskless people every single time I go to get necessities. If seeing my spouse after almost two years gives me covid, well, at least it wasn't some random rear end in a top hat at Tractor Supply. My parents are angry trumpist bigots that I won't chance seeing while covid is around. Dad disowned me when Trump lost and Mom is iffy a lot. No siblings, no cousins, no aunts in contact, no uncles in contact. Spouse is my only family. Rip me.

I hate alcohol, and didn't even get into drugs in the Netherlands, much less in much stricter Norway.

Even antidepressants don't work on me. My brain refuses to let me escape the hell that is reality.

Spouse is stationed in WA. The farm is in GA. We haven't seen each other since 12/13/19. I'd done 9 funerals the last time I saw him.

I've performed over 700 now.

My folks live in an entire other state. Spouse retires next year, if we live that long. Depressing is him missing the death of our two good little dogs this year, dogs that we had together for 10 and 13+ years respectively. Depressing is being awake at 2 am cleaning house instead of doing my next psych exam to see if I'm allowed to go back to doing funerals again over zoom with the UUs, because poo poo is so bad that I hosed up my last one and couldn't get cleared.

Covid is exhausting, but adding on other poo poo makes it so much worse.

gently caress 2021.

PITTSBURGH — With numerous events held over the holiday weekend and schools in full swing, health officials said it’s not a question of if we’ll see a post-Labor Day surge in COVID-19 cases. Rather, it’s how bad it will be.

“The number of cases have risen everywhere, and that includes Pittsburgh,” said Dr. Edward Ketyer, a pediatrician with Allegheny Health Network.

On Monday, Allegheny County’s health department announced more than 900 new COVID-19 cases since Friday.

Most people we talked to don’t want to see a return to more restrictions.

“I just want to get on with life, try to be safe and cautious. Go by the guidelines. Stay away from people. Keep your hands clean,” said Dwayne Altman of Pittsburgh.

Students in grades K-12 are back in school full time, as well as those in area colleges and universities.

Coupled that with concerts, festivals and sporting events, and it’s just a waiting game to see what the transmission of the delta variant will bring this fall.

“If you are vaccinated, you should be protected. If you’re not vaccinated, that was your own choice,” said Altman.

Find a really cool online social thing to do. Doesn't matter if it's D&D or a video game or whatever. Find something you're honestly interested in. Look for something that goes weekly or a couple times a week. That way you have something to look forward to, cool pals to talk to, and an easy way to break the ice to make those pals.

One of my online friends is diabetic and had multiple marrow transplants, got vaxxed, lives in the UK and he keeps talking about holidays and going to movies and comic book stores. I don't have the heart to tell him that he shouldn't be doing any of those things. Which of us is the crazy one?

Last year a local sports radio guy went into a rant on air about having to spend time with his kids. He was super upset that he couldn't go golfing because "dad deserves to golf" and he was talking about sleeping in his car in the garage. Very normal.
