The Texas CARES Kids project seeks to understand the human antibody response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
It’s open to Texas children ages 6 months & older. Participants will help measure how many people have COVID-19 antibodies, how long those antibodies last, & more.
Enroll your children at https://go.uth.edu/TXCkidsReferral
(My referral ID is 18856. I receive a referral payment.)

Turning 65? The CDC recommends that you get a another bivalent booster: “People ages 65 years and older who received 1 dose of a bivalent vaccine have the option to receive 1 additional dose at least 4 months after the first bivalent dose.” https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#not-immunocompromised

I’m so disappointed in #actor Tilda Swinton. I so admire her skills & talent in her own area of expertise & her foolish venture into another area of expertise in which she has absolutely no training was obscene arrogance.
The week she made these ridiculous statements at #SXSW over 1,700 people were hospitalized for & over 75 died from COVID-19 in Texas. Over 170,000 were hospitalized and 1,800 died in the U.S.

I went for a routine blood test at a UK doctor's surgery today.
None of the reception staff, or any other staff, including the nurse that took my blood sample, were masked.
None of the other patients were masked.
I was of course masked.

This article from The Atlantic began with the following sentence, and I just closed down the tab. This, current, pandemic is not over. If you say it is, you've got nothing to say I need to hear:
"After three bleak years, the coronavirus pandemic is finally drawing to a close, but pandemics as a general threat very much are not."
In the U.S., 15,000 people have been dying every month from COVID-19.

Currently at a healthcare convention. Not one person wearing a mask but me. I go to sit away from the crowd.
Can anyone tell me what happened next?
You're right!
The one person coughing, sniffling, and clearing her throat sits down right behind me.
I hate people.
