    There's also the fact that most people are semi-literate at best, and functionally innumerate entirely. They don't actually understand what the words they're hearing mean, so they project their own meaning onto it, and then get mad when that turns out not to be the case. The easiest example of this was right at the beginning:

    What was said: "We don't have any evidence of human-to-human transmission"
    What people thought that meant: "We are asserting human-to-human transmission is impossible."

    As soon as they had evidence of human-to-human transmission they revealed it, but people took that as them "changing their stance" or having "been wrong."

    The reading from the microchip implanted in the first dose says not yet.

    Got my booster last week, Pfizer this time. Was fine until the next day when I pretty much just slept for a couple of days. Still struggling with listening to the voices and the glowing in the dark.

    With Omicron all over the news and headlines saying it is now the dominant strain with 73% of new cases, here's a very bizarre fact: Nevada has had 2 cases. Two. And one of those was in a rural county. Las Vegas, the nation's petri dish, has had one case.

    I'm sure that will change drastically after the holidays, but it strikes me as very strange.

    Omicron and Syphilis sound like a power couple of Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    They probably just aren’t sequencing very many samples. Depending on the lab/procedures there’s sometimes a big lag between the positive test and identifying it as omicron. I’m sure it’s all over. They also think it has a shorter incubation period that’s contributing to the rapid spread.

    In other news, there are still lots of crazy moms out there looking for “unvaccinated” breastmilk and it fills me with murderous rage.

    Guys, I'll allow the conversation to drift a bit, but if we're going to start making puns this shit will get shut down faster than you can say milk maid.

    Edit due to rep: This was meant jokingly. But also fuck puns.

    Oh no, don't PUN-ish us!

    I keed, I keed!

    Anyway, I've got a serious question about testing: if you've already gotten the vaccine, aren't any subsequent Covid tests going to come back positive no matter what?

    Last week, I had a little bit of a runny nose, but was otherwise fine. I thought about getting tested, but didn't.
