    same for NY and Chicago...so between that and NoVa, 3 of the most masked/vaxxed areas in the country.

    Sense of smell is gone. Happened fast, I smelled my coffee this AM. I can't even smell smoked paprika.

    My kids daycare is now closed for sure until Jan 5. My 4 year old had a sore throat this morning so they tested him and it was positive so Christmas has been canceled for our family. 3 of the 6 adults had covid in 2020, all adults are vaxxed 4 of the 6 are boosted my dad is within his time period that he can’t get the booster yet.

    Pure insanity.

    You know what to do. Take more of the "inactive" ingredient from the liquid when you take the gel caps

    My sister has been intubated since December 3. Her doctors gave her less than a 10% chance to live.

    Tonight she opened her eyes for the first time. She's alert and responding to commands. Her blood 02 is up to near/at 100%, she is partially breathing on her own, and within next 48 if all goes well they are going to take her off the machine and pull the tube out.

    I'll take that on Christmas Eve.

    Merry Christmas everyone, and thanks.

    Before I left the area and came back home, I bought a little battery powered LED Christmas tree and put it in her hospital room. Told my dad I didn't want her to miss Christmas. Never seen him cry like that.

    She didn't miss Christmas.

    Still without mine, guessing taste is gone as well?

    I'm pretty much asymptomatic as of yesterday afternoon. No cough, fever or runny nose. Every now and then I have to clear my throat but nothing major. If I worked in healthcare I could likely go back to work Monday, but since I work in manufacturing I have to keep my coworkers safe....
