Hmmm…Here Comes Another Year…

So…um…2021 was a thing. It happened. Now it’s over, and I’m not really sure what to say about it, even though it’s now the beginning of 2022 and I should probably reflect on the year that was. It started off crappy, but the possibility of vaccines was there and I thought things would look up …

It’s Probably OK To Get A Flu Shot And A COVID Shot At The Same Time

File this one under good to know. It’s going to be especially handy if I’m right and we eventually move to an annual COVID vaccine to protect us from the mutation of the moment rather than running around like headless, planless chickens arbitrarily throwing boosters into people and hoping for the best. According to the …

I Have Been Boosted, Hopefully Not Busted

Not much to say except I got my COVID booster, so take that, piece of crap Omicron variant…and all the other variants too. I was lucky. I could walk to a pharmacy who was giving out boosters, so I got an appointment and zoinked one. I had to get Moderna, so now I’ve had two …

Canadian Blood Services is encouraging people to donate blood, even if they haven’t been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.  Gina Leyva, the territory manager at Canadian …

You’re In Some Poo Now, Christopher Robin

Imagine being the guy in prison who has to tell everyone he’s in for lying on Facebook about having paid a sick person to lick food. A Texas man has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for posting hoaxes on Facebook that falsely claimed he had paid someone with covid-19 to lick items at …

The Holes In Your Mask Match The Holes In Your Brain

Mesh masks not appropriate PPE in classrooms, Brantford school board says How thick do you have to be to need this clarified? Good lord. Unless you legit don’t know what mesh is because your language doesn’t have a word for it and you can’t look at it or touch it for reasons outside of your …

We’re Not Done, Guys. We Could Still Use Some Help

Ontario rent freeze expires on Jan. 1 This crosses my mind a lot. Not just in the context of the rent freeze, but in a general sense. The pandemic is clearly not over. Yes, we’re in a different place than we were a year ago before we had vaccines, but aside from feeling a bit …
