Yikes, Tom. That's a lot of fire.

Please don't be on fire for Christmas, Tom!
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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

I probably need to go get my booster. I've had the one J&J shot and the two Pfizer shots, but the booster can't hurt I suppose.

Get a Moderna booster and have allt he bases covered!

Considering how long it's taking me to fully recover from my comparatively mild pneumonia, long covid has become a very real fear for me.

I've been boosted, but I'll take any updates they want to shove into a syringe. Surely one of them will get the 5G working.
I hope the fire's out now, Tom. That's pretty close.
