As we stood in line
at the supermarket
the woman behind me
looked at my mask
and said she was just getting over it,
and the man at the register
said he had it last month,
and the woman in front of me
said she just keeps getting it,
but no one seemed willing
to admit what “it” was.

Yoooo, my webcomic hit the funny number! Thank you all — I'm glad you've been enjoying it so much :D

You can also get a sore throat with the flu which is expected to be very bad this year.
Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I may not have a job (or insurance) for much longer. I haven't been well enough between uterus doom, covid, anemia, and physical disabilities to keep more than part-time hours for 2 years.
I've made 14k this year as the sole income for a family of 4.
We're hungry, facing foreclosure, & I'm scared.

I was gonna make another thread about "don't pirate books" because it's happening again. But instead doing that, I'll just note that the reason so many books are shit lately is because you're stealing books from people who can't afford to live, which means they also can't afford to write good books.

And yes, vaccines help…lessen the severity if and when you do catch them. They aren’t sterilizing.
That doesn’t mean they’re unimportant. It just means they should not be your only layer of protection—and certainly not your family’s.
Mask up in the germ tubes and the places they stop.

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!
