🦠 Despondent In Dystopia 😷Oct 18, 2023
Always fun hearing thru the grapevine that the shit-talking continues between my parents and their friends about my COVID caution and continued mitigations. It is frustrating that they are so fucking fake to my face, but it definitely helps me feel less guilty about not wanting anything to do with them. #covidsmart #covidcautious #family

@TransitBiker not to mention COVID also has been shown to have a link to Alzheimer's and brain damage.

Me and my favorite fellow walkers at the #walktoendalzheimers this morning. Really good turnout. Given my partner and I both caught COVID from an outdoor exposure previously, I donned my hot pink #KN95 because #CovidIsNotOver . #COVIDSMART I did see one other mask in the crowd. Wish there would've been more.

Update on my partner, he's still positive (day 9 of positive tests, day 10 since symptoms, and 12 days since exposure). He's starting to feel a little better, cold-like symptoms remain and immense fatigue. He'll continue isolating until he's had two negative tests 48 hours apart.

In other news, today was an exciting day for me. All booked for my #Novavax COVID shot! I had to wait 90 days from my previous positive test in August, per epidemiological recommendations, and I have to drive 45 minutes to the nearest location that carries it, but I'm looking forward to the protection it'll offer before the next surge.
