    Nice to know I'm no longer categorized as elderly until I'm over 75.

    You're the Silent Generation. Behave accordingly and shut up.

    There does seem to be a resurgence of COVID occurring. I wasn't allowed to visit Mom at her care center for two weeks this Summer - 'cause they were on COVID lockdown.

    My take on the effects of COVID is that, if a person is infected with it, they seem to go back fast - like within a week. Wifey and I came back from a cruise with it - according to test results. We didn't have a clue about why or how we got it. Yet, many of the people on our ship did get it. It really seems to be a crap shoot.

    This is extracted from a front page article in this mornings WSJ:

    Among Covid’s superlatives is the blow it dealt to people’s career plans en masse.

    Never before have so many Americans redrawn their relationships with work as a result of one public-health crisis. More than four years after the pandemic began, some are still reckoning with how to balance their livelihoods and life with long Covid, the chronic condition doctors are still trying to understand. People at the height of careers in finance, technology and healthcare are operating without clarity on when, or if, they can resume the paths they once laid out.

    “Covid just kicked me off the train while it was still moving,” said Amie Pascal, 47, who spent years climbing the ladder at a digital-marketing agency in Oregon before getting long Covid.

    Long Covid has pushed around one million Americans out of the labor force, economists estimate. More than 5% of adults in the U.S. have long Covid, and it is most prevalent among Americans in their prime working years. About 3.6 million people reported significantly modifying their activities because of the illness in a recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    I'm in the camp that Covid has just become a marketing tool. I'm done getting shots.

    Man, I've been through 3 Covid vaccinations and don't look forward to a 4th. Why can't we catch things that'll make us better people rather than things that may kill us?

    Elderly. Looking forward to the next round when they become available. At my age why take any chances if I'm going to reach 100 or so.
