Thanks in a large part to the US, it is believed that COVID will be endemic. So lockdowns are not an option anymore. The world needs to be prepared for the long haul. And mutations. It has nothing to do with the USA. Viruses mutate, it is literally what they do. Neither the Delta or the Kappa variant originate in the USA. Let's just hope that some of the vaccines still under development are more effective on Covid... From memory there are hundreds of them in the pipeline.

Viruses need hosts to mutate and spread and the US has about 50 million people who will never get vaccinated and been forging documents to travel the world despite this. Then mix in the respiratory syncytial virus outbreak that is starting and you get into interesting mutation territory as the viruses do have potential to combine.
It is also unknown whether that UK data is same for the US. We had very different responses to delta. Delta in the UK had little room to mutate since vaccination rates are sky high. Here it gets a lot more room. In the UK kids were generally fine too. That is not the case here.

Returning mask mandate went over well where I am. 15 minutes in a store, walk in someone arguing about their freedom, get water and see an employee trying to tell a customer they need to actually wear the mask and not just have it under their chin and at the checkout seen an epic fucking meltdown that saw a display rack get knocked over. MERICA!!!

I had the first AstraZeneca shot this morning.
I don't know whether it was the fact I stayed up past midnight last night rewatching Band of Brothers or not, but almost within the hour have felt fatigued and could easily go back to bed now. I have some previous shoulder and back pain that every now and then radiates some sensations through my arms and hands, and I could be quite possibly taking more notice of any possible side-effects and is something I would have otherwise ignored. But since, my arms have felt heavy - not so much pain, but fatigue and some tingling.
Caffeine fixes everything, so that's my plan.

I had both my Pfizer jabs on the way to work, the first one I could have fallen asleep in the car after I got to work.

I know plenty of other people who have taken it with no issue though so hopefully you’ll no sell it 💪🏻.

Thanks for your concerns boys, another hour has past, and I'm feeling fine. Tired, but then again I've been staying up quite late as I'm on annual leave and still get up at 7am.

Biden going to announce soon that boosters shots will be available for all Americans and you should plan to get one 8 months after your 2nd shot booster.
Since COVID in the US is endemic at this rate, guess the plan is shots every 8 months.

Schools starting to close in the US after they see more kids in quarantine than in the classroom. If only there was some way to have seen that opening schools would have been a mistake.

www.maitlandmercury.com.au/story/7390627/maitland-business-cops-5000-fine-for-breaching-public-health-orders/In NSW you have to check in using an app everywhere you go for contact tracing, or give details. A lot of people don’t bother but getting increasingly hard to do so/receive fines. Business in my area fined $5000 for not displaying QR sign…correctly. Also saw a Sydney man post a video he got fined $500 for taking his mask off for a second to speak to someone behind a counter that couldn’t understand him. Lawyer saw video and offered him free legal aid so hoping he gets it waived. the age of deterrence has become the age of control.

System, Alan Jones had a great point. The Government is taking away the ability for a lot of people to work and earn money, then will hit those same individuals with a $3,000 fine. It literally has the ability to break people financially. It's not a huge sum, but for many, a spare $3,000 lying around is a fantasy. Reports of people living on water and limited food came out as people can't earn money to eat. This is Australia. What the hell is going on? In other news, less than 24hrs since my first jab and I woke up feeling like I had been curb stomped.

I display a QR code in my office in case I get inspected, I spent hours printing the working permissions and signs etc for the work place.... But I don't sign in anywhere. I am fully vaccinated and simply cannot afford to get locked in my house for two weeks because I was in a grocery store at the same time as someone else.

Well the mask is back to being mandatory for indoors starting this Friday in the state of New Mexico by our governor order very strange it’s not now and have to be on a Friday when they introduced the mask mandate in my state it started at 6pm on a Saturday with little warning so there was already places full of maskless people, including pubs and clubs. Was an interesting night to work, dude at reception got called every name under the book. My friend was out drinking somewhere and they told him and his mates the news that masks were compulsory, then asked them to leave because they didn’t have enough masks 🥴😂. Ness couldn’t catch it at 5:59pm in this scenario also

Quinnipiac university with a fun policy. Students are free to enter the university without a vaccination and stay on campus even. But they lose access to the intranet on campus and are charged $100 a week for increased healthcare costs related to their condition, ramping up $25 every two weeks to a max of $200. They are looking at a 6% rate of unvaccinated students and this is a legal way to handle things, whereas mandating can be more costly in court. Removing the intranet is taking away something they have no legal right to use as per napster policy and the healthcare fees are also totally legal as smoking fee policies have shown.

Overview Rib cage and breastbone Costochondritis Open pop-up dialog box Costochondritis (kos-toe-kon-DRY-tis) is an inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone (sternum). Pain caused by costochondritis might mimic that of a heart attack or other heart conditions.
Costochondritis is sometimes known as chest wall pain, costosternal syndrome or costosternal chondrodynia. Sometimes, swelling accompanies the pain (Tietze syndrome).
They found What problem is, understand why I was so freaked out as symptoms are very similar to a heart attack.
Really hoping this doesn’t last much longer

Would ice and motrin help the inflammation at least?

No Wrestling for me for months anyway at the rate this lockdown is going.

Pretty funny, schools are updating their dressed codes in red states saying people must have their nose and mouth covered. It is not a mask mandate, but a dress code.
