TLDR: Covid weakens immune systems. This makes you more vulnerable to 1) Covid reinfection 2) other viral, bacterial and even rare fungal infections, which are more likely to be severe and 3) the awakening of dormant viruses already in your body (e.g. shingles, Herpes-Zoster virus).

Struggling w/ stuff like budgeting, time management, or meal planning isn't evidence you can't "adult." It's often evidence you've had to McGuyver your way through life-- & if the skillset you developed doesn't map perfectly to some peoples' expectations, that's NOT a "failure."

Mask up in public and while the shot may not turn out to be a great match it can still offer protection.

My husband and I were at a busy mall yesterday wearing our N95s, and we saw only one other person wearing a N95). I was going to hug him but restrained myself (I embarrass my husband enough).
Please consider masking with N95s along with getting vaccinated.
I promise I won’t hug you either.

COVID levels remain steady at low to moderate levels in most areas.
Wearing an N95 or equivalent in public indoor spaces is highly recommended as flu and RSV are rejoining the party.

We may or may not ever get the validation for our recovery, for saving & transforming our own life, that we crave from the people we crave it from. That can be a bitter, bitter pill.
And: we cannot let the taste of that bitter pill convince us recovery isn't worth doing. It is.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Canada's government is in discussions with energy companies and Alberta about eliminating a federal cap on emissions from the country's oil and gas sector if the industry and province reduce their carbon footprint in other ways, three sources with knowledge of the talks said.

We know that Covid and influenza are both able to reactivate latent cancer cells in humans, causing them to come out of remission, and that those cells replicate faster, metastasize faster, and are more difficult to treat than they otherwise would have been.
