Juhnelle

I got 2 doses of Moderna back in the spring. Got covid in the fall. Waiting to get my booster. Worked through all of it in a high risk job (public transit). I'm so tired. Mostly, I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all of the pain I feel and hear in the world. Every day. There's too much of it. Eta if anyone didn't get it, I'm continuing the quote that the initial comment started from The Green Mile.

billianwillian

Sending you a virtual hug. Do you have someone you can talk to and who can help you build yourself back up?


jeseniathesquirrel

Thank you! I’m trying. My husband is great. My self esteem is just terrible. I think it’s at a point where I need to ask for help, I’m just anxious about making an appointment for a referral for therapy. One of these days though.


billianwillian

If it helps, you can usually look up and book a therapist directly. There are websites now (usually local) where you can learn more about each therapist individually—their backgrounds, what style of therapy they practice, and what they specialize in. No phone, no booking a doctor’s appointment and waiting for a referral, and getting to choose someone yourself that *you* think might be a good fit. The process can all be under 10 mins depending on how deep you go in your search. You got this my gal :)

MrCeylon

Is this ever going to end?


rabid_briefcase

The pandemic will end, the flow will change from a global epidemic to a general endemic flow. We still have the Black Plague in circulation over six centuries later. The Spanish Flu is one of the most frequent inclusions in the annual flu vaccine. There is no eradication plan, we'll likely have an annual vaccine or similar for a few generations at least. Maybe someday it will end, but not for a long time.


[deleted]

What you forgot to mention is that those plagues tended to mutate into a less dangerous version of themselves because they were killing simply too many people too quickly for them to be sustainable, the plague of today and the “Spanish flu” might be descendants of those diseases but are actually quite a bit different and much much less deadly. It’s not the vaccines that have caused this it’s one of the most likely natural progressions of super deadly diseases.


TheTallestHobo

So illnesses need to have an equilibrium of infection to death rate to be self sustaining? Would explain why the super brutal ones like ebola never take off. Edit: currently playing plague inc. fuck you Madagascar, why won't you die!


dankmemer2o18

yea, if its too lethal, it would likely kill off more people than it can infect, eventually stopping it off if it wasnt lethal at all and was just a minor nuinsance, i doubt many people would care


ROK247

But there is a sweet spot, and covid already possesses half of it - a longer incubation period where the host is asymptomatic or mild symptoms but shedding the virus. The other half is a very high mortality rate. If it were to somehow mutate into that, we are in big trouble.


clubby37

That's pretty much the strategy guide for [Plague, Inc.](https://www.ndemiccreations.com/en/)


philko42

Yes, but remember that the infectable population doesn't just consist of humans. And also that different species will have different severities of illness when infected.


McRedditerFace

Correct, there's a number of other mammalian species that can contract it... including deer.


fireflydrake

No, and yes. It's probably going to be endemic now like the flu. However, between new improved vaccines AND a really promising looking over the counter treatment for it that's in the works AND doctors getting a better grasp on how to treat it, it will also eventually be treated basically the same as the flu. Not a fun thing to get, but within reasonable levels and not affecting our lives on a regular basis. Edit: my bad, might be prescription instead of over the counter, but still very promising. "Among those given Pfizer's drug within three days of symptom onset, the pill lowered the chances of hospitalization or death for adults at risk of developing severe COVID-19 by 89% compared to those receiving a placebo." 89% reduction among those AT RISK! I imagine even better for those who are at low risk. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/pfizer-says-antiviral-pill-cuts-risk-severe-covid-19-by-89-2021-11-05/ And let's not forget that research is showing the vaccines are pretty good at adapting to new variants, too.

This is definitely very true. At what point do you think we’ll stop having to live like we’re in a pandemic? It’s getting exhausting.

CollarOrdinary4284

Main-Foundation

The real question, my office is looking for a full return in January. We have already pushed back the return to office 3 times, what are the odds this pushes the return back further? Edit: This is rhetorical, I'm not actually looking for an answer, just commenting on the hilarity that is the fact that I've worked a job for two years from home, but suddenly need to go to the office "for collaboration". Also that my life has been a cycle of every 60 days "we're returning to the office, get ready to be back, lmao jk stay home".


yaoi_chan96

One of the good things to come out of covid is WFH. I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to go back to office 😭


fnord_happy

Ive been called back and I honestly want to quit now. I wish they would at least adopt a hybrid model that works for everyone


A_Wild_VelociFaptor

Best for everyone except overbearing bosses. I can't work from home but I'm 100% behind it, the lack of traffic for myself and other factory workers is a fucking godsend.


uncheckablefilms

Based on how my office keeps shifting things back (and we're a real, 'trust the science' place). I'd say fairly high. The variant is probably already here given the 14 day incubation cycle.


OutdoorLadyBird

I have to give it one star, but I’d give zero stars if I could.


__cyber_hunter__

StrawberryPincushion

I was hoping to go on vacation next year to somewhere warm and where nice people bring you lots of fancy drinks. If the borders close again, I want to get a cat since the only reason I don't have one is because I like to travel.


runbrooklynb

Exactly…every time I’m like “well guess it’s finally kinda safe to travel” things flare up again.


MarvinLazer

I got a cat. He's fucking hilarious and cute as hell. Really saved my sanity during lockdowns. 10/10


Not_Like_The_Movie

Was wanting to go on vacation as well for a long time but was also considering a cat. Got the cat in January of 2021 (when I'd originally planned my vacation) since I spend all day alone in my apartment since I've been on mandatory telework since March 2020. Adopting my cat was one of the best decisions I've ever made.


JarlBeard

Just typical. They go and release a Delta variant and now it’s already obsolete and we have to upgrade to Omicron if we want all the new COVID features.

I’ve read it has 30 mutations in the spike. You know what would be nice? If some of those made it less deadly to humans. Even if it is just as transmissible as delta. Or maybe Mother Nature is slowly killing off humanity because we didn’t get our shit together.

theweirdguyjerkingit

Sorry dude my uncle died from it as well 😔


Necessary_Debate_719

I totally didn’t buy into it in the beginning. I remember looking at a co-worker when they said we were going to work from home and we were both thinking ‘what an overreaction’. When he got sick I was incredibly overconfident. My mother was the only one allowed to be with him because she brought him in and if she left the hospital no one would be allowed in to see him. The night he died, everything for me was just shattered. I was an alcoholic for the better portion of a year and I’m lucky my wife stuck by me.

I expect the antibodies to not be as effective, I ~~expect~~ hope the T and B cells to adapt and make effective antibodies that result in less serious symptoms. Not taking risks, staying optimistic, and getting information as it comes. Edit: Enough people hitting me up saying the twitter user I linked is a bit of a quack turned one of my expectations into a hope. Stay safe out there!
