RE: COVID-19 - King Bob - 03-03-2021
I got vaccinated yesterday. I feel fine but my arm is sore at the injection site. It was my first time - and quite possibly my next to last - at Levi's Stadium.

You should go for a show or a game. It's even worse for those.

I told them I sell pot. Voila!
Being at the intersection of Education and Childcare (after-school youth sports program) I qualify.

Selling pot to kids!?!
Dammit!
Martial arts writers are like on tier 18f. By the time I get my vax, there will be another novel virus.

Or it will go from a novel to a trilogy. [rimshot]
I’m eating Nite Cheese, so your hate will only warm me.
RE: COVID-19 - Drunk Monk - 03-04-2021
I had cheese puffs and merlot as I wrote a product review and wallowed in my unvaccinated self pity.
RE: COVID-19 - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 03-04-2021
Well, now I know what wine pairs with cheese puffs.
RE: COVID-19 - Drunk Monk - 03-04-2021
Cheese puffs brings out dark cherry notes in this merlot, making for a savory creamy crunch balanced with a sweet tart sipping.
RE: COVID-19 - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 03-04-2021
I’m sold. I’m just drinking sparkly-water with my Nite Cheese. Sparkly-water is my beer substitute
RE: COVID-19 - King Bob - 03-04-2021
I enjoy a daily sparky-water too. Once in a while I'll have a ginger ale or a Sanpellegrino.
RE: COVID-19 - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 03-04-2021
Some of the kids at the club look at me funny and say “but that doesn’t stop thirst!”. When I was their age, I thought the same thing. I think sparkly-water is something you get to like as an adult.

Incidentally, I recently read about a study that discovered that supposedly dehydrating drinks (tea and coffee) are actually hydrating. As I recall, the scientists basically said just drink something.

That is true. It turns out that many of the “sports hydration” studies are sponsored by Gatorade. Sports “science” has been getting a gimlet eye from Real Science ™ due to the prevalence of study-to-snakeoil pipeline.
Interesting fact: Since the invention of the Ultra-Marathon, no athlete has died from dehydration. Several have died from *over* hydration. The sad state of sports science is brought to light in the book “Good to Go” by Christie Aschwanden. Highly recommended.

Stacy got vax2. She got there and there was a long line, but then someone asked if anyone was there for shot 2 and only her and another raised their hands. They were escorted to the front of the line, given their shot, and excused after the 15 min reaction period. She said she felt a little weird after she got home but not bad. She went to bed early.
Tara said they have DIY covid test swabs right outside the cafe she works at UCSD. It's free to all students. There's a vending machine that distributes swabs - they're short - like half the size of a q-tip. You swab, insert it in the vial, snap a pic of the code on the vial and drop it in a bucket. Results come back in a day.

That sounds like madness! Free health care so the people stay safe? Where's the profit margin in that. Sounds un-American.
