    I'd never even heard of Brookside, AL until I read the article and went to Google Maps.

    I would love to look into this more, and there's certainly a lot to say, but I'm suffering from a bit of a foggy head. I'm three days post Positive COVID test. So, anything I do say probably wouldn't make any sense.


    That has nothing, at all, to do with the article. But, okay.

    Get better, man. I've a friend in Alabama right now doing a conference, and she noted the 40% vaccination rate there, saying, "I'm so screwed."

    We did everything right. Vaccinated, boosted, masking, social distancing, the whole nine yards. My better half brought it home from work (direct healthcare). It's her birthday, we go out to dinner, do what married couples do, and then she wakes up at 0300 with a fever, snot all over her pillow, and cough.

    Great.

    This has to be Omicron because of how mild it is. Seriously, aside from the foggy head, I've had flues, even bouts of bronchitis, that were way, way worse than this. I've had five symptoms. A mild stuffiness in my left ear like I may be getting an inner ear infection, a slightly runny nose, a super mild productive cough that I think is only expelling the stuff that settled in my lungs when I slept, a foggy head, and fatigue. Like, whoa, fatigue. Yesterday I did some light cleaning in the kitchen and had to sit down for an hour after ten minutes of light work. Feeding the dogs zaps me for the entire evening.

    I'm better today though. With both of us dealing with the public, and her in direct healthcare, I think we've done pretty well going for two years without getting it. I'm thankful that it has been as mild as it has been for us. She's well and back at work today thanks to the CDC's new quarantine guidelines. I'm about three days behind her.
