yea tho this, as someone who is almost positive i had OG rona before poo poo even started getting shut down originally, the possibility of vaxxed *and* recovered people getting reinfected worries me more than i've been this whole time for my own well being

was just sick last weekend and got brain fog, was extremely worried i had rona but two home tests and a neg PCR test suggested it was just regular old seasonal flu still makes me feel like i dodged a bullet

i honestly believe I’ve already had it twice, i had one experience in June (working customer-facing grocery when there was no mask mandate) that felt very similar (obviously not as life-threatening) to when I got delta close to a year later at the peak here. i did test negative the first time though, but i have some poo poo going on that might have wrecked the efficiency of the PCR test

both times sucked! no one deserves this poo poo period!

Goddamn there’s nothing worse than nerds trying to stock a bar. What on earth do you need that many kinds of rum for? Why is there peach schnapps? Why is there triple sec without any visible tequila? The whole thing screams “my sixteen year old girlfriend likes sweet drinks.”

two types of bitters and no vermouth. every time I look at the photo I get a little bit more bewildered. mostly, it's the lack of imagination that gets me. like, at least get some banana liqueur or rootbeer schnaps or something

this is anecdotal reporting so take it with a grain of salt, but i'm the type of person who never gets sick relative to most people, but if something is going around I am usually the first to catch it and the first to recover cause i guess my immune system is just metal as gently caress or something. the last two times i was sick was late Feb. 2020 and late Nov. 2021 (almost two whole years) and both were almost the same, the only difference was that i got a flu shot early winter 2019. both occasions i was laid up with flu lasting the better part of a week that ranks up the worst in my experience, and as far as being sick is concerned, was only topped by a (much, MUCH) earlier experience with full blown streptococcus tonsillitis (so, not a virus).

like the timing is so suspicious i have a hard time believing its coincidental.
