    You cannot get out a self dug hole until you first stop digging.  The downward spiral for this dumbing down of the country is only gaining traction.  A concern that is at the forefront for me is that there are no facts to support the platform so highly charged rhetoric and tacit support of violence is their only way ahead.  
    Would that I am wrong.

    I was going to post this earlier but forum downtime/maintenance caused an even longer delay of the Olsterholm Episode 110 podcast.

    Here is the link to the episode: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/podcasts-webinars/episode-110 In "A COVID Marathon," Dr. Osterholm and Chris Dall discuss Paxlovid rebound cases, vaccines for children under 5, and the impact of the BA.5 variant in the U.S. and around the world. Dr. Osterholm also provides an update on the monkeypox outbreak.

    In other news Omicron sub variants gain more ground in the mid-west, including BA.4.6, with the highest proportions in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.

    I think Moderna just started a trial with a new vax targeting the latest variants.

    They've found polio in wastewater in two separated counties in NY state, and one kid battling it.  I thought that was a required vaccination, like smallpox; am I mistaken, or has the country changed for the worse?

    A music director from my church back in the 70’s is on the way out from polio. He is 72 now and had polio as a child but got better, just needed a cane. The effects seem to rebound with age.

    Vaccine refusal was a thing prior to COVID. Crunchy granola type folks believing that vaccines cause autism, etc. People can opt out for religious reasons, etc.

    IIRC, that child was not vaccinated.

    Got the Moderna bivalent jab this morning.  If availability is lacking in your area give CVS Pharmacy a look, they seem to have all the stock in my neck of the woods.

    If you wait until that map changes, good chance it will be too late.  At minimum, I suggest contacting your own Doc to see what they recommend.

    Yes, my mother (who lives down here) just got it. Not too bad of a case, but she was fully vaxxed and boosted.  Said it was like a mild flu.  

    They just announced omicron-boosters being available here.  I signed up and will get one next month.

    All boosters going forward are the bivalent ones.  You shouldn’t be able to get one of the old boosters any longer.

    Yikes!  I am not a fan of those either.  Sometimes it seems like the dentists are all too eager to inflict pain...

    You should ask if they can put you "under" for the procedure(s).  Must be some protracted work right there.  Dentist need to put someone thru college?? =)

    she added 2 upper wisdom teeth pulled to help with an under the gum deep cleaning, then said get the third one done as well, thankfully i was born with just three. the whole upper palate gets peppered with shots then the gum lines for a deep cleaning. i think her feet rise off the floor during the cleaning. i almost want to say, give me the pain and skip the novocaine which ive done before with a nerve hanging out from a broken tooth.........
