Is anybody else put off by the pronoun crap on social media?

Saved his life? He didn't have to be there... And it seems unlikely that if he hadn't been wielding that gun or acting aggressively, there wouldn't have been any life saving necessary.

Appointed by a democrat governor in the 80's.

I mean, I feel like 75 in Findlay has been under construction my whole life.

If it means he's off TV pushing fake science pills, by all means...

20 years ago.

On the other hand in rural Ohio, I felt like aside from the Civil War/slavery and MLK Jr., racial issues were a footnote.

No you don't. I mean, you can... but that doesn't mean the late surge is anything more than a hot streak.

The Astros are hoping baseball works this way.

It seems the cycles are roughly six months, and and peaks are dependent upon the vax rate and precautions in the area as well as other factors. Things in Michigan are nowhere near as bad as Florida was in the summer.

I hope we are more than halfway there to the end of this thing. I'm glad it' my life and I am 3 shots in.

I've got the extroverted itch and just have fun mingling with people.

I mean... he's under criminal investigation in Georgia. It seems risky to set foot there...

I think in the next week or so my county will be out of the CDC substantial spread category... thus no mask mandate. I wear them to the stores, to work (required), etc. My ears are pretty far back, which has made the re-usable masks very uncomfortable so have used mostly disposables out of comfort, and when I ran out and was waiting on my new stash a few weeks back I went maskless for a bit. I don't wear at the gym because... well... I tried and it didn't work. Places like restaurants, bars, etc. I don't either.

Verlander not vaccinated? He wouldn't have to quarantine if he was, right?

Not sure who all follows golf, but there is a tournament in Bermuda this week, which effectively requires a vaccine. They were unable to fill the field and players are dropping like flies. There have been rumblings that many players are antivax...

Found the post... It was satire

Still it is going to fire you up and stress you out.

Of course you got exhausted. You turned on MSNBC. Turn that shit off.

Did you have any warning? Were you ever Pre? If so, for how long?

So I am prediabetic* and got my booster today. Feel fine. *I read up on this some. I have one parent and three grandparents who have/had Type 2, so I started asking for a1c checks on my annual physical about 5 years ago after noticing that I got a bit tired after a day of not eating well. I've been able to keep the a1c from getting into Type 2 range, but my doctor recommended a booster when I asked if it counts. Anyways... the reading. Roughly 35% of American Adults have prediabetes (blood sugar high but still below diabetic range), and most (more than 80%) of those cases go undiagnosed because people don't get checked. There are some reputable studies/papers that make the case that same problems that make diabetics high risk for covid likely also apply to prediabetics. In other words, it is possible a lot of people don't know they are high risk but are. It is also possible a lot of people may be booster eligible without knowing it. Get your a1c checked at your next physical and stay on top of it.

Ozark is dragged down by just terrible writing.

Albert Brooks on Curb is just perfect.

My hunch is the capital police are erring on the side of "caused by the riots" in some subtle legal way to take care of his family

Definitely some gray area. The suicides I chalk up, though. Particularly if the injuries sustained were head related.
