that’s normal. ours lost a lot of weight after birth and my spouse had to work pretty hard to get her back to even her birth weight. hang in there!

just in case(from reading your posts), just keep a mental note of any neuropsychologists in your area who can evaluate seizures/epilepsy if it ever comes up in the future. hopefully it won’t but just keep that in mind down the road if you need to look at specialists.

If you're gonna try to time a booster I think 3 weeks before your travel is probably a better call so it's too late for that but the bigger dick kicks in overnight so your good there.

COVID-19 mortality among working-age Americans in 46 states, by industry and occupation

Introduction A small body of epidemiological research suggests that working in an essential sector is a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection or subsequent disease or mortality. However, there is limited evidence to date on the US, or on how the risks associated with essential work differ across demographic subgroups defined by age, sex, and race/ethnicity.

Methods Using publicly available data from the National Center for Health Statistics on deaths occurring in the US in 2020, we calculated per-capita COVID-19 mortality by industry and occupation. We additionally calculated per-capita COVID-19 mortality by essential industry—essential or not—by age group, sex, and race/ethnicity.

Results Among non-military individuals and individuals with a known industry or occupation, there were 48,030 reported COVID-19 deaths, representing 25.1 COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 working-age individuals after age standardization. Per-capita age-standardized COVID-19 mortality was 1.89 times higher among essential workers than among workers in non-essential industries, representing an absolute difference of 14.7 per 100,000. Across industry, per-capita age-standardized COVID-19 mortality was highest in the following industries: accommodation and food services (45.4 per 100,000); transportation and warehousing (43.4); agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting (42.3); mining (39.6); and construction (38.7).

Discussion Given that SARS-CoV-2 is an airborne virus, we call for collaborative efforts to ensure that workplace settings are properly ventilated and that workers have access to effective masks. We also urge for paid sick leave, which can help increase vaccine access and minimize disease transmission.

We are all shocked, I am sure.

My daughter is being sent home from school, sore throat and fever..generally not feeling well. We’re all fine and she hasn’t been anywhere that we haven’t gone, always wearing a mask. I’m hoping it’s just a cold but we’re getting her tested now and wearing masks in the house just to be safe. She hasn’t been sick in months. I’m thinking she got something from her brother again who’s at a small daycare but he’s been a little congested lately with a cough.

Reminded that around this time last year the Biden admin effectively prevented the publication of effective OSHA regulations that would have treated COVID as a serious workplace hazard. There were some pretty good write-ups at the time of how that happened and if we're compiling lists of pandemic crimes that definitely belongs.

Yeah. From what I've read, China is concerned because this has actually happened there. Here we're doing COVID 100 so we don't care about minor things like washing hands or wearing masks, but if you're trying to prevent even a single case of COVID like China is, they're also concerned with the lesser forms of transmission too.
