Sars Cov 2 … the grinder continues to eat away at resources and humanity.

I’m guessing Russia won’t like this very much.

Update: Finnish national newspaper Yle: Four NATO warships have entered the port of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Finland sees this as a sign of support in the face of the fact that it has applied for membership in the North Atlantic Alliance.

Dude, WTF?

One of our local gas stations was out of 87 and 89 octane tonight. All they had was premium. Had to drive a mile down the road to another station.

Might just be a one-off incident, but I thought I'd report it.

Dutchy, that's out of line. Disagreeing with someone is one thing, being rude is another all together.

Yes.

They knew we were in our next wave.

Eh. He is still processing his diagnosis. And I could have quoted Guythu’s post.

As a Calif resident, you are spot on! Cheers CC.

I sympathize, but that doesn't excuse. I'm old, I have lines that are not to be crossed. Blame my parents.

Understood, TB. I just intend to keep my sanity while the virus keeps burning humanity. It sucks.

I was just thinking about this. Where are all the livers coming from for the kids who need them due to hepatitis?

I thought organ transplants took time to find, especially for kids.

At the rate those infections are growing seems like they may run out soon.

On May 27 Taiwan had ~95,000 officially reported new cases.
Seems a bit quick to call a peak, but hopefully it has.

BREAKING: Taiwan reports 145 new deaths, the biggest one-day increase on record, as wave appears to have peaked

- New cases: 76,569
- Average: 81,700 (-415)
- New deaths: 145
- Average: 94 (+13)
- Death toll: 2,056

Oh no! I am so sorry.

Well it took 2 years and Covid finally found me during a visit to a conference in Dallas this past week. Everyone on my team came up positive as well. I'm not gonna lie-- it was surprisingly pretty intense and impactful at times. I reached 102F, felt delirious, and then 2-3 hours later I was outside working. Sore throat from hell (ear and sinus aches), barking cough at times that made my chest painful to the touch. With that said, 72 hours of dealing with this, and the seasonal flu seemed way more debilitating. Everyone on my team deal with the same cyclical intensity as well. But I can definitely see how if you have underlying conditions, this could take your out pretty fast. I had some concerns yesterday at one point, but staying on top of vitamins, elderberry, Emergen-C, OTC meds seems to keep it capped. Again, Im sure there are exceptions, but just sharing my experience. Oh and I'm vaxed along with everyone on my team.

Thanks for sharing.
Glad you’re feeling better and didn’t have it worse.
It’s a pretty crazy and unpredictable virus.

Efff it. Why not. Let’s do this.

Geologists To Crack Open 830-Million-Year-Old Crystal With Potential Life Inside

Scientist from the Geological Society of America first published their findings on the rock salt crystal in the journal Geology earlier this month. They say organic solids are floating inside the rock salt, also known as halite, and the organic matter appears to be cells of prokaryotes and algae.

Hope the rules don’t change.

Welp the airline staffing issues are here

Less than 50%

Separately, JetBlue said it would cut 8% to 10% of its summer schedule. Alaska Airlines reduced its schedule by about 2% through June to match "pilot capacity."

It’s gotta be pretty bad if they are cutting summer flights.
Not to mention the courtroom costs

18 Major Airlines, FAA, And DOT To Be Sued Over COVID Vaccine Mandates

Considering that half the pilots think it’s just the flu … they might not have all made it to this point.

I would have loved to see a radiation plus sars Cov 2 study.

Imagine if they had been this honest with Covid.

That global Global Consciousness Dot thing is bright red at the moment!

If it’s red for more than 4 hours then there is cause for oh my’s.

Welp, covid got me. I'm on day 2 or 3 however you want to look at it.

Friday: sore throat/fatigue. thought it was allergies

Saturday: throat on FIRE, fatigue, snotty, insomnia. I decided to do a home test. Faint positive line, but still isolated

Sunday: throat still hurts, fatigue and dull headache. tested again this morning and test line was dark positive. UGH

Interestingly, my temp hasn't gone above 99.4, cough is only if I snort in some snot. Body aches are from laying in the bed because I'm trying to do right and stay in one room of the house.

Here is my daily vitamin regimen:

Zinc
Fish oil
Vitamin C
Ashwaghanda
CLA
Magnesium
Calcium
Vitamin D
Pepcid
Melatonin

Now I've added:

NAC
Curcurmin
Quercetin

Of course I treat the symptoms which so far I've taken tylenol, ibuprofen and benadryl.

I'll take a muscle relaxer tonight because covid insomnia is no joke. Now that I know I have it I can 100% say I had it in Jan 2020 except then I lost taste and smell. The insomnia is unlike anything I've ever experienced before. Usually when I'm this sick I sleep all the time. Nope, just lay here wide awake like a turd trying to find the end of Discovery +.

Y'all stay safe out there!

Sorry to see, do what you need to get better, good thoughts going your way.

Hope you are 100% better soon, TH!!

Sorry, TH.

I know my motto has been don't drink and glp...

But, haha...

My brilliant pianist daughter texted me today to say she can't play piano.

I asked her specifically what she meant.

She said her fingers won't listen to her brain =(

Imma having a bit extra wine today.

This sucks. Stupid covid.

Sorry, Moniker.
