We go back to masks mandatory at REI tomorrow (until the local alerts go back to yellow). It seems that we are at a peak on new cases right now, not sure why. But the summer folk are here.

pat least two of our friends are renting their houses for a few months this summer. One with a house pretty much just like ours (Boise Cascade) for $25k a month for July and August. They are living in Portugual.
My wife and I are scheming something similar once that 3rd kid gets the fuck out.
dont you have relatives in the midwest you could pawn him off on for a fee...?My wife and I are scheming something similar once that 3rd kid gets the fuck out.
get creative...
He's almost 18... we could technically just leave him for a few months. He's pretty self-sufficient.

BA.4, BA.5 rise in Europe; officials sound alarm of COVID-19 surge to come
As with any wave, there's risk of increases in hospitalizations and deaths.

If you think Covid is bad now, wait until big companies force everyone back in the office. My wife just got an email that everyone's expected to be back in the office at least 4 days a week (they call it a "hybrid" model 
) starting in early July.

our hybrid ("flex") model is 3 days a week. thus far it isn't being strongly enforced. masking is not required, but vaccination is (i am aware of 2 people, including one PhD, that were terminated for non getting vaccinated)If you think Covid is bad now, wait until big companies force everyone back in the office.

edit: should note i still wear a mask when i'm in the office. i work in one of the smaller buildings, so sometimes i do forego it if there's like, 10 people in the building or something - and noone sitting in my aisle
80 year old father with cancer tested positive. He sounded pretty bad on the phone but thankfully he said it felt like a bad head cold. He is more upset that this will force him to miss an appointment to possibly get into a clinical trial. Hopefully he can get it rescheduled.

Not good, not at all.
Perhaps DeSantis would suggest bootstraps for those little kids?
How long is the post-positive delay until vaccine allowed?
Not sure that's well defined, especially since little kids don't mount such a strong immune response (which is also why they usually don't get so sick).
I got it for the first time a couple weeks back. Got over it quick, but I’m still not 100%. Course I’ve been doing a bunch of stuff I don’t normally do, so I don’t know. Just sore muscles not recovering as quick.
my neighbors in bend got it, they weren’t vaxed and were way sicker. It scared them good. My buddy in Sacramento got it. My employee in San Diego also finally got it.

I am dealing with the same crap.
god dam it.I am dealing with the same crap.
I ended up getting a prescription for Paxlovid on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday I was functional, but disgruntled. Thursday I was doing stuff, just sore, easily winded, and my throat was ruined. I could have worked, just not doing calls, if I really wanted to. Friday I was basically back to normal minus being a bit more tired than usual and no voice. I was doing work (including yard work) around the house all day. So got sick Mon night and back to normal by Saturday.
Wifey is still sick and she started showing symptoms a day after me.

Sure that's not called getting old? It sure is for me.I am dealing with the same crap.
Lot's of customers have had it (calls/emails to let us know they can't dropoff or collect workshop repairs is a weekly thing) but so far no one at work has caught it.
Just a matter of time though.

Since Covid our neighbors have played music on their porch. It's a gentleman and his wife. Normally it would be annoying to awaken at 2am to loud music. But it is not loud or annoying. His guitar and her voice are pretty awesome. Nobody minds. It's the time they have. As parents. I have no interaction with them. I can sit in bed and listen to their dog howl in joy. They prefer to be left alone. I prefer to leave them alone. Tonight, they played Beatles songs. Paperback Writer and Rain. She sings the John parts, and he sings the Paul parts.
whats the deal with paxlovid
Oral antiviral (actually an antiviral and another one that potentiates it). Twice daily x 5 days. Efficacious against current strains. Recommended for anyone with symptomatic COVID and factors that’d increase risk, including overweight and obesity in addition to all the other more major things a la immunocompromise.
bmi of 28.x, but mild symptoms.
So you're tall fat with no other issues? Suck it up buttercup. Seems like NP's are real hesitant to prescribe. Supposedly there is a limited supply?
yea generally healthy otherwise.
