I am going to a florida beach with my wife and kid because beaches are nice and florida is cheap (and luckily we already did the poo poo out of the amusement parks pre-plague).

Think we'll be ok, unless someone forcibly demasks us on the plane or something.

Dear doctors please don't just go throwing around what few efficacious antifungal drugs we have remaining to us because it's possibly a way to maybe reduce Covid severity

Gonna end up doing the entire antibiotics speedrun... speedier

Doc agreed with me. Giving me the script for pax, now I just gotta find a pharmacy that has it in stock.

and now I've been on the phone for an hour and haven't found a single place that has it.

went to a couple parties this past week, one of them was a backyard party where it was easy for me to distance and eat and make cocktails. the other one was in an apartment so I went outside to eat/drink. Bunch of friends followed me outside and we made too much noise so we went to the parking lot to continue carousing

extremely fortunate that friends are cool with me masking/distancing and I still get invited to stuff

When meeting new people I point at my mask and say dont worry Im not sick, Im still paranoid and it gets a chuckle

The cruise ship that brought covid to Australia has been found legally liable... for letting their guests get covid. Not for loving up the entire country's successful - until that point - zero covid policy.

Eventually covid will be something where if you think about it at all, you get infected. However, this is the only fitness trap that might stop it.

sucks to be right
I've got friends on social media posting "Got a bit of a cough, it's not covid tho" one day and then the next day posting "Whoops, it's covid after all"

I'm mostly surprised that they kept testing and didn't stop after the first false negative
