posted by like vampiface like on august 18, 2022 at 00:15:12 est in reply to it's been 2.5 years since i posted "who all got that coronavirus" and i still haven't gotten it, against all odds, even when my partner had it for two weeks. weird. (n/t) from exodus.
make a new vaccine with his bloodddddddd
i don't figure i'll be lucky so i stay away from people, fortunately i work for myself and don't have immediate family around usually so i can do that. my brother is insisting on stopping through town in a week or so and i'm like okay i'm still in pandemic mode, let's meet in a park for a bit. all he's going to see of me is my n95 mask and sunglasses. 'p' he's like so when do you get out of pandemic mode, i'm like uhh when i'm not in line to be a disease vector. people are silly.
followups:
although neither he nor his wife, an emergency room pharmacist, nor their 5-year-old son (although who can really tell with young kids i guess) have gotten it as far as i know, so i suppose he's pretty sure i'm the one being silly at this point. which is possible but it's also better than getting/giving covid so whatever.

wellll it's really unlikely we'll ever get out of pandemic mode here, except to go into endemic mode. they're apparently ramping down buying vaccines, too. i did manage to get a second booster shot though, which ought to help a little bit at least. i'm about to travel to pax and tgs so the likelihood of my being exposed to covid is about 100%.

i've still dodged it, double-boosted. i'm hopeful that the improved booster(s) in future will finally do the job, but who knows, because it's obvious most people aren't going to bother to get it (and as noted, the us is going to charge people for 'em) even with re-infection so possible, so i suspect we'll never really reach a point where it's unlikely i'll catch it if i choose to live a normal, "pre-pandemic" life. after that short window last summer before the variants really started kicking in i haven't eaten in restaurants and i still mask to go inside anywhere. i don't see any problem with that, but it'll get boring again in winter when i can't eat out on patios?
