Friend of mine has been feeling a bit out of sorts this past week. Today, he was outside doing some work and felt his lungs burning, felt like an asthma attack he said.

Took a rapid test later that same day and yep, bold positive result.

COVID isn't over.

People were talking about how covid wasn�t a big deal because it was only killing old people back in March 2020, before that they were saying it was fine because it was only killing people in China. Mass death has been normalized for like all of human history.

For those struggling to replace salt, I discovered spicy fills the gap in the palate rather nicely.

The only problem is I'm learning some of my favorite spicy subs have a ton of sodium. Looking at you gochujang and sriracha

not to replace salt but just in terms of flavor, instead of hot sauce i'll use some combination of chipotle powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and chili powder, paired with whatever else spices/herbs

I haven't been paying much attention to Covid recently, but am I right in assuming that the recent lifting of restrictions is just Capital relegating further covid deaths to the Cost of Doing Business? Like, in addition to all the ways Capital already kills people, now it kills people with Covid and that's how it's gonna be?

I'm also going to assume that anyone not wearing a mask in a public space can be safely assumed to be a plague carrier with lib-brain disease.

e: covid 22?

This is honestly one reason why I just say covid (or COVID), aside from brevity. lol at attaching 2019 to it. No need to specify its year of origin since nobody gives a gently caress about any other Coronavirus Disease right now.

Except I guess for us weirdos thinking about possible monster COVIDs that could result in recombinations between SARS-CoV-2 and MERS or a SARS-1-like virus. But those don�t have names yet.

Washington state question: how are you all getting more than four shots? Have any of you all managed to do tye fake name trick at any pharmacy here in WA state, due to the electronic tracking etc?

i have 4 shots
2 under my real name
2 under Johan Liebert
I lied on a form and got my covid shot early, 3 weeks later I got my second.
Johan made an appointment with CVS, used the CVS's address/phone number, and arrived without ID. Got jabbed no questions asked.
Johan later made an appointment at a mass vaccination site run by Amazon. Lied on forms, and it was Johan's first shot, so instead of getting the Moderna booster (50mcg), Johan got the full first Moderna shot (100mcg)

I will be getting my official first booster (my 5th shot) next week.

A crew member of the Event Horizon watches the ship�s log video. Grainy footage shows an array of corpses and maskless people doubled over and coughing nonstop. Some are fighting each other (tepidly) for oxygen canisters. They don�t know that the canisters are already empty; the spent canisters feel so heavy, like everything else at this point.

The video cuts to a man in a SecureClick who uses his intact lungs and vocal cords to tell the camera, �Libera te tutemet ex SARS-CoV-2�. Behind him, at the edge of the frame, a bat hangs upside-down from the ceiling. It opens its wings just as the video feed cuts to static.

Randomly thought of smoked paprika when reading this post and how it's one of my favorites these days, and something I only discovered the past few years. I do what's probably a bastardized fajita vegetables mix with smoked paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper, maybe throw in some garlic powder. Onions, Bell Peppers, I guess some other poo poo if you wanted. Put that in some little tortillas with your favorite seasoned meat or beans or tofu and insert into your mouth-hole maybe with some cilantro and lime juice garnish or what have you.

smoked/paprika rules and i use it all the time
my go to fajita spice mix is a combo of paprika, cumin, chili powder, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (sometimes), then salt to taste toward the end of it

I wouldn�t talk about Capital as a whole. Rather, center-right bougeois elites, who do represent at least a certain faction of capital, are throwing a collective tantrum and deciding that they�re going to do a genocide on their own countrymen and burn the place to the ground because they can�t feel normal, which means getting due deference from the disgusting peons below them while they dutifully toil away. Hard to do that if you�re dying of covid, but no matter

WHY NOT N95?

In order to receive the �N95� labeling from NIOSH, mask manufacturers need to meet strict filtration standards and have a dual elastic band that wraps around the user�s head in order to ensure a complete seal around the chin, mouth and nose. This category is used for professions such as medical professionals and firefighters who are exposed to toxins and airborne diseases to a greater extent than the general public. Our customers desired a comfortable and fashionable option that still met the strict U.S. filtration standards and we refused to get a certification just to check a box required to advertise our masks as an N95.

The world has changed quickly and we can�t expect legacy manufacturers, such as 3M, to be able to change quickly with the times. The same way we would not expect Ford to go electric without the threat and innovation from a company like Tesla. Although they are both great American companies, the latter forces the legacy company to innovate or risk losing its customers.
