I think I am having a bout with the new Covid. One of my friends does have the new Covid so it might be making the rounds. Only have a hacking cough at the present. Might be time to put the masks back on.

You may well be right, Don. Wishing you a speedy recovery! I note the Star's website indicates they are closed (although, without a subscription one can't see for how long) due to suspected Covid. Wonderful timing with the boil water notice and the fair.

Yep, COVID is back. I know two people who went to a conference in Chicago, both came back with COVID. A neighbor's daughter flew to Scotland this month to visit her sister, and the whole family came down with COVID.

Not sure if I am ready to mask up again, but I will be wearing one when I fly to Denver at the end of October.

A new COVID variant has recently been detected. SARS CoV-2 Sublineage BA.2.86. This one is more contagious than all previous variants, but the disease is not any more severe.

Total COVID deaths in the US is up over 1.1 million....and counting.

Big R's already stocking up on Ivermectin

you are one sarcastic SOB.

Maybe Ivermectin can replace chorine in the drinking water.

Yes, I understand that worms are carrying and spreading COVID.

I just spent the last two weeks with the latest version of this horrid sickness.

Started out with a sore throat from hell, feeling like someone put me in a Saw movie, and poured glass shards down my throat.

Progressed into extreme chills, followed by sweats, over and over for a week.

Mixed with a non-stop running nose, and being unable to eat hardly anything as I would gag.

Finally, after just under two weeks, it's gone. The stupid cough is lingering, and I am insanely tired sleeping around 15 hours a day, but I am back in action.

Let's just say this new one sucks.

If you don't mind me asking Josh, how many boosters have you had?

We have chorines swimming in our water pipes? No wonder the water tastes so sweet!
