I tested negative yesterday, and updated my doctor as to the course of events. He took note of symptoms, and agreed with me to wait eight weeks before getting a booster.
The COVID Vaccination Thread

Let's be real, is anyone on META?
Heh, I'm gonna assume they were banned from Facebook. All the name-change to META has done is cause confusion(and I think that was the point, actually, given how maligned Facebook was when they decided to change their corporate name)
Actually, they do refer to Google as "Alphabet" when appropriate:

Well I'm back to working in corrections, the local county jail.
Picked up one scumbag from a neighboring county that didn't share it was in the middle of a covid outbreak.
next day he tested positive, the guy I went with to pick him up tested positive, and now we're up to 4 officers and 6 inmates testing positive. Not big numbers, but please consider our jail has 20 people incarcerated daily and have only about 10 officers to run everything.
My second week working there I pulled two 16 hour shifts back to back because they literally had no one else to call.
They tried calling me in tonight because another officer popped hot. I have my kids this week and told them I was unavailable.
yay ******* covid.

Welp, my journey is currently at an end. I tested myself this morning and I'm clear, if you choose to believe the 15 minute home test.
I'm still kinda suffering under the lingering affects: a cough I can't quite shake, more congestion than usual, and ongoing lack of energy (like seriously, most days I need a ******* nap in the afternoon. I've never done that before.), but at least I'm not sick or contagious anymore.
Edit: lethargy, is the word I was looking for. Also; a renewed intolerance for warm temperatures.

Glad you're recovering! I'm back at work too but as I only have a mile and occasional phlegmy cough, I was told to return to work after 7 days of absence. The first day back and some idiot stands close to me without a mask, telling me he's not worried about Covid and they already had it 2-3 times before and it's "just like the flu, so don't worry".... This moron apparently has a PHD from a university in Bangladesh and got a job due to "connections" with management. He's not a popular figure here...

Something I heard a while back: post-covid, taking it easy for like 6 weeks helps reduce the chance of long covid, as it gives the body more time to recover. They specifically said potato'd, but that's not feasible for working folk unfortunately. I haven't heard it mentioned recently, but I also haven't personally seen much discussion at all recently either so I chalk it up to that. Doesn't help the CDC basically pulled all recommendations of what to do when sick and says "Just deal with it lol" as far as guidelines.

tl;dr is the moderation bot is confusing Long Covid and post-infection discussion with anti-vaxx posts.

This is why some automation is bad.
Exactly! The only thing that will save us from skynet is capchas and sarcasm.
Something I've been thinking about lately... COVID-19 is literally a variant of SARS, the virus that caused a minor scare back in the 2000s but was so well contained that it never became a real problem anywhere. What did people do back then to successfully contain it, and why didn't they do it again in 2019 despite having almost two decades to study it and fully understand the dangers? What changed?
At least in the US, back then we didn't have a cult leader for a president who tried to pretend it wasn't real.

I think the proper response to that is 'duh'. Isn't this how most pandemic disaster/doomsday movies start? Best to do is to kill that new strain with fire before that happens.
