Yeah, the fact that it can cross species is pretty well established. This is reasonably likely, I guess. And terrifying. Fuuuuck.

Oh no, thatâs MY county! Well, I got my booster three weeks ago, so thatâs goodâŠ
He received a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine in early November.
Ah, shoot. But then againâŠ
Minnesota has one of the most aggressive COVID-19 surveillance programs in the country, using a combination of public and private labs to evaluate approximately 20% of all positive specimens for their genomic lineage. Only California and Massachusetts are conducting more genomic sequencing of samples, so state health officials expected that Minnesota would be among the first states to identify an omicron infection.

Actually, they will ship on customerâs UPS account â I handle purchasing for our business and we we use our UPS account.
I also hate using Uline because of the owners, but during the great toilet paper shortage of spring 2020 I was able to go through them for home supply only because we previously purchased toilet paper from them.

The newspapers say that there are people laying on the ground, waiting for a doctor, who are overwhelmed. To make things worse, Rio ran out of vaccines this week, but the lab has sent some more yesterday.

Having extensive past convention organization experience, I can assure there are plenty of other available vectors even if the organizers had done everything right. Youâve got those ghosting the con (attending without paying), the public coming in to ogle and photograph in common areas, room parties full of non-attendees, food delivery, facilities staff, local police protection, attendees going out to city restaurants and sights, etc. You couldnât pay me to attend an indoor con right now.

When I got my flu jab the nurse told me it would be about 14 days before it was fully protective, everything crossed I avoid catching it in the meantime.

Do you recommend spacing out the Covid booster and the flu shot? I just got my Moderna booster today, I wanted to wait a few days before getting the flu shot just in case there were any reactions or interactions.

Not necessary. For live virus vaccines, especially MMR, 6 weeks before any other vaccine. For anything dead, not issues.

The article is arranged to scare the hell out of one (not necessarily a bad thing) but as one reads through it does stress that the vaccines and boosters work, but not as perfectly as one might hope, so socially distance, mask, et cetera, et ceteraâŠ
My apologies if this provides nothing new to the table.

No problem. It gets harder and harder to separate truth from clickbait.

If we didnât have the federal vaccine mandate they wouldâve picked some other thing to play their game of brinksmanship about. Theyâve been doing it since at least 2010.
So, at least we have something of a federal vaccine mandate. 
And I donât mean to derail from the COVID thread. But they wouldâve found some reason to threaten shutting down the govât, no matter what, in my jaded yet informed opinion.

Itâs not even much of a shutdown
I call it a rehearsal for dictatorship
Theyâre showing us what will stop and what will keep going if Congress ceases to function at all
