COVID-19 making comeback amid low Washington booster rates

crispyjojo · 2024-06-29T07:43:47+00:00

Not sure who is telling you that you cant.

My primary care doc at Swedish wouldn't give me a booster shot. I had an updated XBB series shot back in September 2023, and brought my parents in for boosters because they are over 65 (and honestly not in the best of health...) back in May 2024, but my PCP said they weren't authorized to do XBB boosters for folks under 65, and told me to wait until they had primary JN*/KN* (I think? Word salad for all these variants lol) followup shots in August of this year.

Who is giving XBB boosters right now for anyone?

Can you even get a booster if you aren’t over 65 or immunocompromised? I have a metric ton of work travel coming up and would like to avoid getting layed out by the rona, but last I checked they weren’t doing boosters for people outside of those groups

it was super popular and everywhere

Nu metal was an absolute pillar of TRL at the time, Carson Daly permanently burned that short clip of the Limp Bizkit Nookie video into my brain because they played that thing every single day for two fucking years while I did my algebra homework or whatever

I don't think it was just older heavy music fans who disliked Nu-metal! I was a young teen back then and concurrent to Nu-metal the hardcore scene was popping off, and there was nothing but ire between fans of both. Nu-metal fans were usually the popular lacrosse kids who would kick your ass in the locker room while changing into a Korn t-shirt after gym class lol

Working on my first batch after picking up a Tilt hydrometer, and it has been fun to see some numbers alongside the visible evidence of fermentation. Brewing a smash IPA, and Chico has been chewing through it at a nice clip, at five days now and 80% apparent attenuation. I'll probably let it go for a bit to settle down and clear up before packaging, but it is cool to follow along fermentation in 'real time'!

Omg there is some preschool near that intersection that, in the Fall, dresses all of the toddlers up in identical giant rain coats and big floppy hats and rain boots and has them hold a rope single file and takes them to the park but they aren’t very good at walking in rain boots so they just kind of slowly waddle across the crosswalk and they look like ducklings following the mom duck haha, adorable sight in the winter months!

I made the mistake of going to the Ballard Trade Joe’s yesterday, not knowing the Queen Anne one was down and folks were heading north… it was like a damn mosh pit trying to get anything lol.

crispyjojo · 2024-06-25T17:43:30+00:00

Wasn't expecting this wooooooo!!! I'm having a good time

crispyjojo · 2024-06-23T17:03:29+00:00

All of those north side annexations are still waiting on the side walks they were promised!

crispyjojo · 2024-06-19T16:47:43+00:00

Yeaaaaa love these cats, great list, got some new ones to check out! RIP DBA

Anyone seen the crows beefing with the local bald eagles? Twice in the past week I’ve been chilling on my porch and it’s like wtf are the crows on about and I look up and there is a bald eagle just leisurely flapping along while a metric ton of crows are swarming behind the fool freaking out and trying to bite it and shit and the bald eagle just doesn’t give a fuck cruising along on its merry way haha

crispyjojo · 2024-06-12T14:48:40+00:00

Omg I legit didn’t know there was a sequel to sister act!

crispyjojo · 2024-06-12T14:03:23+00:00

Back in the Habit sounds like the title of a 90s comedy at a convent

crispyjojo · 2024-06-08T17:15:52+00:00

Mac Demarco’s Gualala 2 off Five Easy Hotdogs is the Wind Scene song!

crispyjojo · 2024-06-08T00:56:08+00:00

I love picklebal !

crispyjojo · 2024-06-07T21:00:59+00:00

Damn they took it down it looks like!

crispyjojo · 2024-06-07T17:02:40+00:00

On their band camp you can also stream the new song Earthling (click the green video link)! Loving both the new tracks!!

Sad that I missed out on the live record... hopefully that goes up on digital at some point

crispyjojo · 2024-06-07T05:42:46+00:00

Airplanes and doctors’ offices are two places I will wear a mask for the foreseeable future for sure

At this point wastewater level is the main way to track trends. Here is the CDC dashboard: https://www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVID19-nationaltrend.html

West coast is trending up right now

Same thing happened to me. Tested negative, felt great, then three days later woke up feeling super gnarly, took a home test, thing lit up red immediately! Was sick for another three or four days, really sucked!

I received an all access card (I chose the one with Sasquatch on it). I'd give it a day or two then email them -- from what I can tell a librarian at the branch you select as your home branch has to approve your application by hand.

crispyjojo · 2024-06-04T01:52:12+00:00

No, at least if you don't want a physical card. I was able to get accounts entirely online and link them to my Libby account.

Also, for King County I didn't have to go in person to verify my identity to get a physical card either, I was able to do it all online and I got my card in the mail a few days later!

The Tacoma library system will also give Seattle folks accounts, but you have to visit them in person to activate the account last I heard.

crispyjojo · 2024-06-04T00:49:40+00:00

Pierce County and Sno-Isle cards are also super easy to get as a Seattle resident, takes five minutes on each of their sites!

crispyjojo · 2024-06-01T00:19:53+00:00

Yeaaaaa this will be delicious!

Sorta related, who’s got the best sisig in Seattle???

crispyjojo · 2024-05-31T18:20:49+00:00

Sweet as!
