I know better than to reply in kind to the disaffected ultra right winger. Post reported.

I am not a disaffected right winger. You know nothing about me. I know you are a wacky lib tho.

And good job reporting the post jerk.

well, you gotta admit to the "wacky lib" part, though...

ugh, I have Covid yet again...started feeling badly Monday evening, having driven my 86 year old mother to Hopkins that afternoon to get the results of a scan to see whether immunotherapy was working or not against her metastasized colon cancer...great news, cancer is actually shrinking. She'd had a huge mass removed this spring and then it spread. The upside was that she became eligible for immunotherapy instead of chemo...no side effects with Keytruda...3 doses 3 weeks apart...and low and behold the cancer is shrinking and no new locations.

But here I was riding in a car for an hour, with my sister too, all breathing my air. Undoubtedly in earliest stages of infectiousness.

Felt miserable over night, head cold, headaches, etc...took test Tuesday, came up negative...stayed separate from family anyway; my wife and son were still up north, came back Wednesday...was feeling better that day...but had a bad night and took test again...sure enough, positive.

Gonna try Paxlovid, fingers crossed it helps accelerate recovery as last time was a good week of miserable. Everybody wearing masks, I'm isolated pretty well.

Current variant picking up. It’s reported to be similar to Omicron. Rest, fluids and paxlovid if your doctor recommends it. Get better soon!

In the past I've been accused of hyperbole and instigation with 3 or 4 right wingers engaging in their gang up attacks. Those same critics are silent today despite the personal attacks made against me. No surprise actually.

As for the illness, I could say "God punishes". But no, I won't say that since I've forgiven you for your past indiscretions. So, I say get better soon.

[MDlaxfan76]

Thanks to all.

Thanks to all.

Feel well, my friend. This stuff did wonders for me last year:

... you sure you don't want to try some Ivermectin? Some guys on the internet swear by it.

In any case, feel better.

Feel better, guy.

Thanks to all.

Feel better, guy.

Thanks. I dunno whether it's the paxlovid or just getting better anyway, but much better yesterday (one night of paxlovid) and today.
Hopefully I didn't infect the rest of the family.

NYC COVID Cases Spike As New 'Pirola' Variant Arrives: What To Know
The city saw COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations surge 200 percent even before officials detected the new BA.2.86 variant this past week.


https://patch.com/new-york/new-york-cit ... -what-know


An unwelcome new coronavirus variant has arrived in New York City amid a concerning, weeks-long spike in cases and hospitalizations, data shows.

The BA.2.86 variant unofficially nicknamed "Pirola" has been detected in New York City's sewage, said Ashwin Vasan, the city's health commissioner, this past week.

"While we have yet to find it in a specimen from a local resident, it is almost certainly circulating here," he said in a statement.

The detection comes at a precarious time for New Yorkers.

Summer is wrapping up and students are poised to return to school — events that have coincided with past COVID-19 spikes.

And the city is already in the midst of a weeks-long viral surge.

Daily average COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations jumped 227 percent and 270 percent, respectively, since July 1 after long remaining flat at low levels, data shows.



How the "Pirola" variant will impact the city remains to be seen.

The BA.2.86 variant was first detected late July in Denmark and appeared in the U.S., according to Yale Medicine. Those cases weren't directly linked, indicating the variant is circulating more widely than can be detected by the decreased COVID-19 surveillance in New York City and elsewhere, the report states.

Experts have also raised concerns over BA.2.86 because it's the most genetically different strain seen since the original Omicron variant, said state health Commissioner James McDonald.

"These significant changes are important to note as mutations may allow the virus to evade prior immunity," he said in a statement.

For now, experts don't yet know how transmissible it is or whether it causes more severe infection.

They recommend using the same prevention methods as before: masking, handwashing and vaccination.

An updated COVID-19 vaccine should be available in the coming weeks, and New Yorkers should get it, Vasan said.

"Studies are still evaluating the new booster for its effectiveness against the BA.2.86 variant, but indicators suggest it will be effective at preventing severe illness and death," he said in a statement. "That’s why it’s especially important that New Yorkers that are most vulnerable get the new booster when it's available."




Hopefully, a solution to this nightmare will be found real soon. Stay well, please ...

Yawn. Your continued position that to be either successful or correctly named vaccines must be 100% effective always has been, continues to be, and always will be, BORING. And wrong.

But you be you, fatty.

If the vax is "fake" how do you explain the drastic drop in fatalities once it got developed and distributed?

Lies?

You mean like, "it's no worse than a cold", "everything is under control", "it will soon go away" ??

Many believed in those claims and are now dead for doing so. At least those who took the vax are still alive for the most part.
