I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That is too many alarms.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes!

Dang, Tom, that is literally too close for comfort.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

There's a Molecular Biologist on my A's baseball group and he gave me some of the best insight into COVID when it first hit. (He's been doing work on it from the get-go.)
Anyway, he mentioned this in thread today:
"Be ready to get an omicron specific booster in a couple months.
The [current] booster will jack up your antibody levels enough for a while, but looks like T-cell mediated immunity may not be strong enough to prevent cases, though hopefully strong enough to prevent hospitalizations.
I’m crossing fingers that this leads to more people realizing preventing hospitalizations is the real goal anyway."

I mean yes preventing hospitalization but also I’d prefer not to get long covid if I can at all avoid it?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think I will eventually catch it, and long covid is the only thing I really worry about.

Man, my booster shot is making me feel like hot garbage today. I have chills, muscle aches, and a headache. I'm pretty sure I didn't feel this bad with either of the first 2 shots. Still, it's definitely a fair tradeoff for improved immunity.
