I also got a call from Walgreens canceling my appointment because they hadn't gotten their shipment yet. Good to see that everybody's on the ball about thisLouisgod posted:vegas shouldn't exist and it's depressing that people think going there to spend all your money on lovely alcohol is a vacation counterpoint: vegas is fun and all the fun things about it you can do wearing a mask

If they didn't want COVID to put them in the ER, they should have gotten COVID.

I've always thought if Tom Hanks got hosed up more it would have changed intentionally response, but Paul loving Simon losing his hearing isn't going to change anything at all and I think I need to reevaluate my Hanks theory now

that's actually terrifying and one of the reasons that I'm still super careful. i'm barely even a hobbyist musician, I cannot conceive of losing senses because I catch a virus. hell losing my taste and smell partially during my first go-round was insanely stressful

My area has plenty of pharmacies with open appointments for the booster, and I've had one scheduled for a few days. But after reading about insurance problems here, I reached out to my insurer (Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic), and they confirmed that they no longer cover COVID vaccines at outside pharmacies, but also don't yet have the latest booster at their own facilities. I can call them to see if they have their poo poo together next week. Cool cool cool.

Ehh, losing your sense of hearing isn't really all that big of a deal tbh. There has been improvements on subtitles being included everywhere and nobody makes a call nowadays, it's all texts

What is fun about Vegas? I’ve been once and it was lame as gently caress. Everything is fake and on a huge level, overproduced. I went to one of the best dance clubs, a show, did some gambling, ate/drank big deal. No need to even go back there again.

Teenage Riot posted:One of my friends got hers this morning successfully from a Walgreens. Not 100% sure which location, but it was probably in the Arvada/Wheat Ridge area (edit: 66th/Wadsworth) Thanks so much! I called that walgreens and they have it, but are not accepting walk-ins. I then searched and made an appointment for another walgreens today, then called them up and they said they actually have it. So I'm off to get boosted in 45 minutes!

the fun thing about sudden hearing loss is that it's generally accompanied with chronic tinnitus, so that's always fun

vegas style fun isn't my thing personally but i don't mind if other people like that. my primary issue with vegas i think is sustainability issues. in that sense yeah it shouldn't exist, just pick it up and move it to somewhere with water or whatever

the only times I've gone to vegas is for sales conferences, and everything was covered, including whatever I wanted to put on my corporate card. it's fun when you don't have to pay for anything but really, if you've gone once then you're set

Vegas is probably fun if you work on one of the shows there. So thread unicorns are going down to school, unnecessary travel, and not knowing that aerosols hover at face height on the ice rink. My son is 2 weeks into school and still good (masking) buuuuut he's been invited to his friend's bar mitzvah and if anything is going to get us, it'll be that. But bar mitzvahs are cool and I want him to go experience some cool poo poo on his own. He'll mask, but there's food and a party... I suppose I'll jab him asap and pray for another no-transmission infection should he get hit.

You can't smoke a stoge while walking from downtown to Atomic Liquors in a mask  Trip report: I looked at my calendar for next month and saw an upcoming dentist visit, which gave me motivation to hit my HMO's vax center. When I arrived, all of the covid signage had been covered up with white rectangles, it's a flu clinic for now  . The people running it has no idea when the booster would arrive, and no idea how to ascertain when it actually hits, other than just showing up at the door, because there is no direct line and the call center people are just making poo poo up.

I decided to scattershot appointments across Albertsons/CVS/and Walgreens early last week for this last weekend and today and both Albertsons and CVS cancelled out due to not having actually gotten their doses but my Walgreens appointment for this morning went off without a hitch and me and a bunch of 80+ year olds got the updated moderna booster. I've got United Healthcare through my employer and I paid $0 out of pocket for those keeping track of which insurance providers are covering costs and where. This was in the Phoenix/Tempe/Mesa area so I doubt a lot of younger people are seeking it out but the Olds were out in force this morning for sure getting boosted.

Yeah it's looking like a real poo poo show for coverage right now. I've heard a lot of Kaiser, Cigna, and Blue Cross people are also having a hell of a time. We have the tools!
