12 hours since #Covid shot 12, and I'm down to about 40-50% arc movement in any direction before the muscle becomes painful enough to stop movement. My fault for letting the paracetamol lapse ~8 hours ago (I wanted a Whisky). #Flu Vax in a week or two after, then another couple of weeks for the (so I'm told) "strap in for the ache" of #Shingles Vax.

No #COVID deaths reported in #NYC since the week ending May 2! All the other indicators keep dropping - cases, emergency room visits, emergency room admissions - for #COVID19, the #flu and #RSV. And the COVID #wastewater data for May is out, and it's down too!
#COVIDIsNotOver so I'm enjoying the break, continuing to #WearAMask in pharmacies, doctors' offices, hospitals and nursing homes, and mirroring when I see someone else #MaskUp!
