My wife and I made it 4-1/2 years without ever getting COVID. I just tested positive 2 days ago. My wife is also sick and will probably pop positive soon.

The worst part is that I caught it from an old friend, who came back to town for the week, invited me over, and only told me after spending the day with his family that his little kid is positive for COVID and has been passing it around his family. This particular friend never took the pandemic seriously, deciding that the death rate was so low, and serious life-altering side effects of COVID were so rare, that it wasn't a big deal. His family has apparently had COVID several times over now.

Fuck this pandemic, and everyone involved in prolonging it.

Sounds like a good reason to lose that friend.

I checked the other day and without insurance, a moderna covid booster costs three hundred dollars.

American healthcare never ceases to amaze

Holy shit. I knew it was bad, but that doesn't even compute. I know any price is infinitely more than free, but that is way higher than I could have ever expected. Like, the cost of the shots to the government was pretty low(20-30$), who would have thought it was mostly bulk discount, lol.

I just go to my pharmacy in Canada and get it. Americans are crazy.

You're either trying to push misinformation or just hilariously uninformed. No adult has to pay for a covid vaccination if you do even the slightest bit of research.

I'm happy to share the clinics in Southern California I called so you can ask them yourself. I was told boosters are not free if you're out of network, as I have insurance but they do not accept it.

Also, looks like the free initial vaccine program ends in 9 days, so your rude assertion is moot in a week and a half either way.

Man, I bet you thought you ackshaually'd me really good there didn't you?

Donald Trump said "if we don't test for it, it will disappear."

Joe Biden didn't say anything about it, he just followed Trump's lead and... just stopped testing.

It must hurt to be this stupid.
