It was this! At first I was like, why is this more jarring to me than Wal-Mart? Then I realized, uh, we wouldn't go through that much toilet paper in 4 years what in the world.

FWIW the lady that gave the shots was very, very nice. She wanted to give them to me in different arms and as she was writing on her paperwork which was which I stopped her:

maybe we’ll get two packs of paxlovid for half off one day

We have the tools. (They cost $2500)

Can't afford the tools? Why not? Joe Biden created all of those wonderful jobs (by forcing everyone back into gravely dangerous workplaces).

Lost your job after being disabled by COVID in your workplace? Well, that's your fault. After all, we have the tools. Why didn't you use them?

Ms Emsley, 31, said it started with residents having cold and flu-like symptoms.

"As the day went on more and more people became poorly and it started affecting staff as well," she said.

Ms Emsley felt it could have been a new variant because of the pace at which it was spreading, she said.

Tbf, this could simply be imperfect recall.

Gettin' mothed tomorrow. Hope I land on the "arm is a little sore for a couple days" side of things and not the "violently puking for 24 hours" side! Also, hope they didn't give away my dose. The guy on the phone last Thursday was pretty aggressive about stating appointment only.

Found out my FIL has been sick since Friday. Not surprising since his wife had been sick for over a week at that point (and still is). Just waiting on PCR results now and hoping for the best.

"But we always wear masks now." Oh, by the way, he's home alone at the moment because "everyone else" went out on a big day trip. Everyone else? Oh, his wife's relatives flew in from Texas and have been staying with them in their home all week.

Yes, he's going to work tomorrow, because it's not so bad. (Bonus - her dad was one of Cuomo's nursing home victims.)

There's no stopping anyone, it's incredible.

Moderna in the left, flu shot in the right.

Doesn't look like the moth juice is anywhere and the usual distribution methods don't work. For any goons in Ontario, Canada, Shoppers Drugmart just started getting XBB supply this week. If you sign-up on their website for a 12+ vaccine, it's the new Moderna XBB vaccine.

Just remember to have a medical condition to justify it or a family member at risk, because they're only doing 50+ right now and not expanding until November. Found out about that 2h before my shot when the pharmacist called lmaoooo

Good luck out there, stay masking. The double shots got me feeling like actual flu lol
