i got an outbreak after only like 15 years! shingles speedrun woo!

p sure it left me with some sort of permanent nerve damage to boot. the outbreak area has pins and needles and inexplicable pain on occasion.

at least in the US iirc it's only covered under most insurance if you're over 50 :negative:

it's 150 bux without coverage.

this is, of course, horrifying and terrible and a crime against humanity, but if you're a computer toucher in this thread you can afford it.

well?



I had a cold two weeks ago for the first time since like early 2020. normally I'd get them twice a year or so. it was a good run I guess.

i tested myself almost every day in the first week (RAT/LFT's are like €3 here) and every couple days the next week but I never popped positive. did the whole throat swab thing a couple times too even though I believe those are way more prone to false positives.

guess my number hasn't come up yet and I'm still covid-free.

lol some rear end in a top hat tried to use that line 6 months ago while i was grabbing some chinese food to go and then two more masked people came in behind me

he also had a phone riddled with loud auto-playing ads in whatever app he was using, and looked constantly embarrassed by them. i'm assuming there's some oversight in sound judgment between that and the hot take
