Favoriting Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael: Playlist from April 1, 2022 Favoriting

Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Favoriting

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

I'd like to say a word or several about my shopping cart icon :
I am only able to renew my Swag For Life status after two years of NO INCOME - as a matter of fact - thru the good Graces of other FMUvianz (not, perhaps, entirely unlike yourself).
@ the minimum rate of $10/month - one is only able to credit 12 Programs - when I'd like to acknowledge maybe three (?) Xs as many... So it came down to Programs that not only present groovy kewl & bitchen Sounds - but that also make me feel especially like they are Places that Welcome me as - why mince words - like Home...

I posted on Doug;s show, but WLSClark reminded me, went to a concert (Sons of Kemet), I had my N95 mask on, better than 95% of people in the venue were not masked, though. I don't see many with masks in stores. My daughter had been visiting home, her roommate told her she had COVID, now she's sheltering at our place again).
I'm constantly exposed at work to unmasked folks (work with kids-try masking 1 year olds), rely on a good fit with a good mask (and will soon get booster #2)

@WLSClaek. I am an Army veteran well past the age of 50 and the VA hasn't sent out any notices for a second booster yet. They are usually right on top of things like this.

Gerry, no one has said anything here. I just called around and HyVee here has them, but Walgreens not, so odd. They ONLY had Pfizer at mine, but that was what I had previously, so maybe I am lucky?

@Gerry, the official recommendation from the CDC just came this past Tuesday, so I'm sure they'll be updating and sending out notices soon. It's 65 and older, 50 and older with a medical condition, and at least 4 months after the 1st booster.

Anecdotally, I'm hearing more first- and second-hand accounts of catching the virus among vaccinated folks here in NYC than makes me comfortable. I'm going to keep on masking for the time being.

One POTUS guts the CDC as one of his first acts in office
- another POTUS & the USA has perhaps even a surplus of vaccines available.

As the virus keeps mutating, the original vaccine seems less able to completely prevent infection. It does still work well at preventing the really serious infections, the ones that cause hospitalizations/death (the flu vaccine is like this as well-it isn't 100% effective at preventing flu, but does prevent the really serious cases).
But studies in Israel do show that there is still some breakthrough after a few months of serious cases of COVID even with one booster, and it was significantly cut back with a second booster.
In the end, it looks like the COVID vaccine will need to be periodically revised to account for new variants (just like flu vaccine is updated annually).
