Seventy-eight percent reduction in mortality?

Can the treasury really spare twenty bucks for that?

Real talk: it’s not about the cost of the shots. Certain people see this as an opportunity to “balance the books” on social security. Journalists and the public are happy to pretend it’s not happening.

Only pop in here on occasion due to mental health reasons but can someone give me a quick recap on where we are with data on ba.2 reinfection and maybe efficacy numbers on 4 shots? I thought I saw some report on the 4th but I think it was embedded in a tweet and I can't figure out how to search for it.

not many people wearing masks around here anymore. one of the mask wearers had a KN95 upside down covering their chin.

the KN95 has "KN95" printed on one of its sides so it is really, really easy to see if you are wearing the mask right side up. although if you were going to put it over your chin it really doesnt matter

This may be at stock at a Home Depot near you. That’s my benchmark.

As for big and comfortable,

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/3m/7093B/6827876

But that’s a little more than twenty‐five bucks, plus shipping.

You can find the 6503 respirator body cheaper elsewhere, but the 7093 filter cartridges (that are also the set in the Home Depot kit, by the way) are often sold only by the case.

Getting nervous about the supply chain thing too. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, affordable treadmill (that can be delivered or fit inside a Honda Civic)? Or spinning bike? Don't really want to splurge on a Sole F63 but maybe that's the smart option if I can figure out the delivery situation.

i bought a used Sole elliptical a few months ago and it seems pretty decent so far. mostly used by my wiiiiife but ive used it once and it was fine (i prefer running outdoors). It's quiet too.

open up your options and rent a truck or van to pick up a used one if you're worried about fitting it in your vehicle.

I don't know if this counts as "good" or "affordable" for you, but my wife and i have been using this for a total of 5-7 hours/week of walking and running for the last six months and it has been perfect for our needs. I run on it 5x/ week and haven't had anything to complain about, but I'm also inexperienced in the ways of treadmills.

With Amazon you can get it shipped free to your place to avoid hassle.

What would be the problem with insurance being billed for another shot? Is insurance gonna flip poo poo if they see someone get a 2nd booster?
