RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I only gave it up a year ago after COVID had begun, but suddenly everyone around me is snorting and hacking, and apparently very few people bother covering their mouth when they do anymore. It's just for crowded spaces but 1 in 65 people in Canada have COVID right now, and while I'm super ultra vaccinated I don't want to catch anything in general. It feels strange.

Hope you all stay healthy, best wishes to you.

I qualify for my RSV vaccine and Pneumococcal vaccine now because of age and asthma so I'm getting those next week. I also got the shingles vaccine earlier this year. If people should get one vaccine I would say shingles is it, because that is SO painful.

I’ve managed to not get COVID either!! And I’m about ready to mask up again soon especially if I can’t get the newest booster vaccine.
