Covid-19

[C. Nesbitt]

Ottawa, Canada.
The first 2 cases of Omicron varient have been confirmed glad to know the proof of a negative test to travel is being enforced.......................

Ugh. Keep in mind though that COVID tests will not always pick up a very recent infection. That could have been the case here.
My wife was exposed in January, she tested negative then came down with symptoms and tested positive 2 days later.

"The World Health Organization, which switched to Greek letters to categorize new variants to avoid stigmatizing the countries in which they were discovered, chose Omicron to avoid a tricky linguistic and political conundrum: As the 13th named WHO variant—and the fifth variant of concern—it should strictly be Nu. Next up is Xi. Skipping both leads to Omicron."

We Don’t Know Much About Omicron

Countries have been quick to curtail travel from southern Africa over fears of a new highly transmissible variant.

Lol doesn't offend me.

I'm still pissed that the Romans got to name the plants and we only got the moons.

Seems fitting to me

I wouldn't wait, my last of the two was in early April and I got the booster 2 weeks ago. Hell, they are free and I will get another when they work out the new variant

And get a flu shot while you're there!! I had more of a reaction from the flu shot, but just a nasty bruise.

Got the flu shot last month. After basic training, these shots are a walk in the park lol

That's a lot sooner that you'll get the vaccine info from Pfizer and the FDA..

Wait what? FDA wants 55 years to process FOIA request over vaccine data

Freedom of Information Act requests are rarely speedy, but when a group of scientists asked the federal government to share the data it relied upon in licensing Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, the response went beyond typical bureaucratic foot-dragging.

They started using the air injectors when I got mine, they told everyone not to flinch. The person operating the thing flinched when giving mine and I bled like a stuck pig.

When I was eight I was lined up for the rubella vaccine. Air injector right out of the Trek pilot. Nastiest shot ever.
