PSA: the CDC has a program that pays for your COVID vaccine if your insurer won't. The guy at CVS told me that my insurer had not added the new vaccine to its formulary yet, so I'd need to pay $190. I told him about this program, showed him the website, and paid nothing. 🤗

Covid is fully back - 15 teachers out without subs in my building alone

smaller sample size but practice last night, one coach who i hadn't seen for a week and change is back (was out with covid) and says he's struggling with fatigue and borderline narcolepsy now, another said he's unusually fatigued but tested negative, so 2/4 coaches present dealing with covid/mystery affliction issues

i've mostly given up on asking the kids how school is going even though it used to be a good way to connect with them because the feedback is dire

anyway i hope all you denizens of this extremely irrelevant thread are hanging in there ✊:smith::unsmith:

i think giving up on covid made it illogical to do anything but give up on anything less immediately dangerous than covid, which unfortunately is most aspects of public health. so we just gotta give up as hard as we can wherever we can, forever

So here's an anecdote. I work in heavy industry for a mid sized company with about 1000 or so employees and contractors. I got a print out today of the year to date fatalities. It's not just my company, but industry wide in the US. The interesting thing isn't the total number, but rather the ratio of accidents to natural causes.

"Employee found dead from natural causes, no equipment involved"
"Employee found unresponsive"
"Contractor sustained a medical emergency during a meeting"
"Employee collapsed due to unknown reasons"
"Employee had a heart attack while driving"

Of the 18 deaths that occured so far this year, 10 involved accidents like getting hit by equipment, falling, electrocution ect. 8 were "found unresponsive" or "employee collapsed" 2 of the accidental deaths were falls from unknown causes, in other words not a fall from height but rather falling down stairs or while getting on equipment and then hitting their head, most likely they had passed out for some reason.

it was just there time 😌

i got to live a thread classic anecdote yesterday where someone saw me in a mask, asked if i wasn't feeling well, i responded with something to the effect of no just trying to avoid that, they say "that's smart, definitely something going around right now"

i'll leave you with the incredibly suspenseful cliffhanger of whether they were wearing/put on a mask or not
