We'd juuuuust started to allow people back into the lab, but given that I have to take public transport in I might revert back to 90% WFH, in light of breakthroughs and delta spread.
I got a second rapid test swab (negative), got swabbed for strep (also negative), then got a third swab for the actual send off test because why not?
I've been swabbed more than a poop deck.
Alright fuck you yeah that wasn't a funny joke but I've been up all night and that last swab went back into a place in my nose I didn't even know existed and now my eyes burn and I don't know why
He said he thinks my trapezius muscles are really tense from something and limiting my range of motion and kind of pushing on everything else in and around my neck including the nerve in my arms.
As he did it I felt the range of motion coming back into my neck as the muscles relaxed. He wants to me too come back in 6 weeks for more as I continue with the PT and stuff.

Did they recommend a hot pack for home use?
Mind, I'm not a doctor or a PT, but I worked in a PT clinic for about 6 years and the general use cases of thermal modalities are: hot is for loosening muscles, which increases ROM, and increasing blood flow to the area to speed up natural healing processes; cold is for reducing inflammation, which usually reduces pain and restores some ROM lost due to said inflammation. They make hot/cold packs that are filled with a gel material that you can microwave (not particularly recommended as heating is uneven and some parts can be dangerously hot while others feel fine), oven or freezer. Hitting the traps, SCM and neck is very easy for a lot of these.

PCR test also says negative, it's just a really bad flu. I'm guessing something snuck through while my immune system was busy looking at "Do not accept checks from this man" posters of COVID-19.
He's tested positive and is now bed bound and has missed several days of work. Which for him is pretty major.

Lolla is a shitshow every year, but usually it's just, y'know, don't go downtown if you can help it, the trains are gonna suck, your bar will be more crowded, that sort of thing
To add in the clause "and you'll definitely be exposed to someone with covid" onto all of those is not great, even fully vaccinated and having been through a bout of it already

They recommended alternating hot and cold at the er when I went. I've got a heating pad and it does help a little but it's really inconvenient to use honestly because it acts up most when I'm laying down and that's really the only way I can keep the pad in place on my traps is too lay on it. I also have gel bead ice packs that are a little easier to use because they are smaller and can flex.
I think I need an adjustable bed frame to make laying down more comfortable but even for my full size mattress those are expensive.

Sitting outside cooking up some sausages, overhear my dumbass neighbor talking about how "75% of people that got that COVID are vaccinated"

So the media is doing a bang up job
That, that one particular typo or mis-transcription was allowed to slip without any repercussions is pretty bad. The credentialed journalistic institutions that circulated it should have been fined so heavily that news about the size of the fine woulda reinforced 'previous reported stat was very very wrong'.

At the drop of a hat I have gotten the hiccups and I am about ready to tear my diaphragm out of my fucking chest. There is no biological need for me to be doubled up in pain, spasming because I took a sip of Coke a cola.

Thinking about people getting smacked hard about "ordinary" colds now that they're spreading again and...before the lockdowns we were just all sick all the time and had forgotten what it was like to not be sick continuously, hadn't we? This last winter was the first winter I had been able to breath through my nose because I wasn't constantly stuffed up and hacking the entire season. I had been nonstop sick three-six months of every year if not more and I thought that was normal.
You might think to yourself, did he work at a pirate themed restaurant? Perhaps a tourist boat doing trips around the harbour? No, that’s just what he wears.

My heart goes out to the nurses and health system people. I find myself past anger and despair, and on to resigned disappointment.

Euro final at Wembley was like what, 65k people? Just inside the stadium, and more outside?
if every single person at that event is fully double vaccinated and one person is infected with the delta variant
12,000 people will become infected at that one event.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

I've heard no such statistic

Unfortunately, news organizations aren't really concerned with the way that they disseminate information as long as it's eye catching

Correct response: "Wrong, dipshit.
Actual Response: "Oh?"

"We have to get back to normal!" Fuck you.
Normalize masks, I like not getting coughing fits that make me feel like I'm going to black out.
