@JoePajak I tested positive for Covid today, so I looked up the current โ€˜safety measuresโ€™ โ€ฆ and there arenโ€™t any.

@JoePajak no boosters possible anymore in Berlin.

@JoePajak we can only get vaccinated or boosted if we are offered these things. Thatโ€™s how the system works.

@JoePajak I'd love to get another booster but though nearly 63 with asthma and high blood pressure I am apparently not vulnerable enough. Still on the bright side when I die the Government will save on having to pay the pension they've so far cheated me out of.

EG.5.1 also named Eris, meaning โ€œstrifeโ€ or โ€œdiscordโ€ -- how apt!
