I've lurked in this thread for ages, its cautious approach to the pandemic mirrors mine and its one of the few places I know where an overly optimistic mindset does not rule.
In my home city of Melbourne mask wearing will no long be mandatory outdoors, a completely nuts decision when you look at what happened in the US.
More than a year ago I bought a few Honeywell respirators and now am almost ready to join respirator crew at work.

Oh, and Im boosting as soon as they are available, which better be soon a lot of people here will be reaching 6 months from their shot soon.

I can't bring myself to be respirator crew. I probably should, but I can't stand poo poo on my face. I got laser eye surgery as quick as I could just so I could get glasses off my nose/ears.

I'm honestly starting to feel like I need some more needles in me. I already got my 4th booster shot last week but that's not enough for me.

I think I'll go and grab some MMR tomorrow or on the weekend.
Got my mmr booster in November 2020 thanks to this thread, would recommend

The only vaccine I haven't received that I'm actually eligible for is the pneumonia vaccine. I plan to get it when I go in for the flu shot this weekend

No response after a few hours. Hoping I'll just never be guilt tripped into visiting for Christmas anymore.
