So my married violin gf has covid. She felt like shit for a few days, took two home covid tests and one at Walgreen's. All turned out negative. She's been giving up her gigs to other violinists, and she never does that. After 3 days of awful symptoms, including 103f fever, she went to the ER. They did their tests, and she tested positive for covid. She's at home recovering, and I hope she does so quickly. It is only her first week of the disease, and it often gets significantly worse after that. She did receive one shot of the Moderna vaccine about 45 days ago, but didn't want to go for the second shot because the side effects were too intense from the first. Crazy times...

Have you asked her how the actual disease compares? As soon as she's 90 days out from that test you drag her to get her second in the Moderna series! Although there's always the gift basket with sheep dip and de-wormer that's very popular.

Yes, she did offer that the side effects of the vaccine is nothing compared to how she is feeling now. She certainly regrets her decision. One of her friends was fully vaccinated and also just tested positive for covid. I'm guessing it is the Delta. Watch your asses...

Oh yes, carrying vs significant morbidity. The vaccines are working, still, but not forever

Went to an outdoor music show recently as a friend of one of the performers. I only mention that because I wouldn't have gone otherwise, and even then I stayed out of the public areas. It was the last of a series of concerts specifically designed and marketed for social distancing: spaced out and assigned tables, scan a code on your table for alcohol and merch sales and they are brought out to you, lots of signage and messaging on the big screens, staff wearing masks. So far so good.

Almost everyone there acted like covid was last year's news. People crowded together, passing joints and pipes like it was the original Woodstock. I couldn't believe it.

Today, my city has the highest number of cases in the province for the first time since the pandemic began, passing the other major city in the province and both hospitalizations and ICU patient numbers are quickly climbing.

Obviously the concert series isn't to blame, but the cavalier attitude displayed by the concert goers certainly is.

Ah well, play stupid games.....
I'm safe back in my den, avoiding the unvaxxed and unintelligent whenever possible.
