I just looked if up and it is now known as Murphy's Pub not Irish Murphy's. It was originally known as the Argyll Hotel. I can just remember that.

Oz has lost its collective mind.

Had a test for Covid on Tuesday. Came back positive.  Yes I have had my vaccines, and wear a mask.  This is a mild case. Doing fine. 

No test, no mask and no vaccine. We're just sitting here in our red corner of a blue state watching the rest of the country go batshit crazy. Doing fine.

Never had a flu shot either.

I had a breakthrough infection after having two shots of Moderna.  It was very mild and I was mostly over it in three days.    

I hope it goes well, sounds like you should be in pretty good shape with all your shots.  This is when I would (or more likely will) say "Glad I got all those "stupid" shots."     I'm sure all the staff in your local hospitals appreciate it too.

We get our booster shot on 4th Jan.

Since this is a Covid-19 check in thread, let's leave politics out of it. Viruses have no political affiliation.   

I can get my first booster shot now but will wait until the new year to get it because I rarely go out these days and I'm in a low transmission area anyway.

Hey Barb, here's hoping you recover fully and quickly.

Anyhow, a happy holiday season to all and stay safe.... especially from covid.

Better hurry and get shot #3 before #4 comes out lol (seriously they are starting to talk about #4).

Happy holidays to you too   

I'm spending Christmas with COVID, so yay!

Not Good , Get well soon Spencer ..

Positive test results in the mildly ill and in the worried well are up (they count all positive tests as cases here, regardless of reason obtained or the presence or absence of symptoms), now at about the rate of July 2020, but well below (~50%) of the January 2021 peak.  Both hospitalizations and deaths are even futher below the January 2021 peak, down about 60% & 70% respectively.  There have been two recent wave peaks, one in September and one the first week of December.  I have a large percentage of Medicare age patients in my practice, a moderate number of whom have had COVID, most of them having had at least 2 shots, now some of them having had the booster, too, and so far all have had unpleasant but mild illnesses and have recovered uneventfully.  The virus variant isn't reported here (result is either virus detected or not), and I can't find any info on the incidence of the various variants on the DHS website.  I assume that information is available to the labs and is being shared at some other reporting level.

End of COVID update.
