He's lucky to be alive, did he learn anything though? Probably not. My inlaws who both go covid are still saying the same stupid shit. Still not wearing masks and lecturing family about the vaccine. Morons! 

 

What about the long term consequences of going through that? Physical and psychological? Those are powerful drugs you're on for weeks, and can fuck up your brain. That's before we explore the long term problems associated with covid in general. People don't just come of a vent and return to their normal lives like nothing happened. I also wonder what this virus may do in 5-10 years down the road? Look at something like HPV. It causes a variety of cancers later. I would find it very likely that we could find people who suffered from covid having organ failure, or blood clotting issues (for instance) years later down the road. It's certainly not implausible in my opinion. 

 

Or let's pretend "it's just like the flu." I don't want the flu! The last flu I had (about 4 years ago) knocked me on my ass for 3 weeks. I couldn't breath, couldn't get out of bed, had a fever off and on for days and could not work. I could barely lift half my usual weight when I returned to the gym. I probably wasn't back to my normal strength for another month after that. It was no joke. Who in their right mind would be cavalier about the flu? Or for their child getting the flu? Only a moron would.

back to on campus work yesterday, first since March 2020.

 

To be on campus you have to prove vax status and we're still wearing masks in public areas (aka not my office), though not while I"m teaching, which is good bc it messes up my glorious beard.

Had a client email a political fwd with right wing memes this morning. Most of them regarding covid and how it's all a liberal myth.  It's important to know that this guy caught covid last year. Given his timeline and what he told me months later, I was pretty sure he (and his dumb friends) all caught covid while visiting Vegas and were infectious when we went out to view properties. I had a mask and none of them did. 

 

His friend explained to me how difficult it was to breathe and it lasted for weeks. But here we are, sending those memes out saying it's all a hoax. What is it with these people? It's like a mental illness.

Would It Be Fair to Treat Vaccinated Covid Patients First?

We're kind of back on campus but it's been a mess. I have two online classes and one hybrid class (which means some online, some in person) and I plan to go to campus exactly once this semester to fulfill that requirement.

We also just mandated vaccinations for all students coming to campuses (it was already mandated for students attending classes but could show negative tests to enter campus - why no idea.) Masks mandated all areas inside and outside.

This wave is overwhelmingly becoming a pandemic for right wing Americans. Strange indeed. Like most of the others before him, he tweeted anti vax stuff up until he was taken to the hospital for covid.

It's like a mental illness. 

It IS a mental illness, it seems.  I have a friend, love her to death, she's had covid, she's a nurse...no vax.  I just want to grab her by the shoulders and shake her till her brain gets concussed in all the idiot regions.  But I'm not going to get through by berating her or yelling at her.  Not sure what approach to take...bc she's a nurse and should already know  BETTER  than I DO.

Great article:

 

COVID Anti-Vaxxers Aren’t a MAGA Death Cult — It’s Worse Than That

 

Great article.  Reflects many of my own feelings that I've had over the last year.    

 

I have family parties every year at my house -my siblings, nieces &nephews and their families, my own son, etc.  Usually a bonfire in May and then Christmas.  I already put the bonfire off in the spring, thinking I could do it in September, but at this point it doesn't look like it's going to happen (having a co-worker die from Covid last week and then someone in the same office as I am getting Covid even after being vaccinated - she's doing fine - convinced me that it's STILL too soon).  I have had serious thoughts, however, about still having the parties but telling people they can only come if they've been vaccinated - because why should the rest of us who have taken this seriously all along and been vaccinated have to miss out on things just because of the deniers and "you can't make me" people?  As much as I would like to, I can't quite bring myself to do it.....yet, anyway.

I joined this. Now I have this and Herman Cain award in my feed. Some of these I actually feel sorry for. The majority are huge assholes, so nope.
