66. I just spent 5.5 hours

Thu Jan 6, 2022, 08:10 PM

Jan 2022

Volunteering at a vaccine clinic today.
Over 550 people and some kids. Most for boosters.
I am exhausted but so glad so many people came.
Our COVID numbers are skyrocketing here and our ICU is at 96 %.
I picked up our free test kits and masks today from NY state today.

We are so careful and never stopped wearing masks.
I am so sorry that you, your husband and son have to go through this.
Hope you feel better soon.

Stay safe everyone!

I'm sorry to hear that but I'm curious how you did the PCR test? Through the mail? LymphocyteLover Jan 2022 #27

It was an antigen test. MontanaMama Jan 2022 #79

Is it Omicron or Delta? Lots of people here in France still getting Delta. GoneOffShore Jan 2022 #115

They aren't telling people in my area what variant we have. My husband tested positive on Sunday and liberal_mama Jan 2022 #118

I don't think they can tell without MontanaMama Jan 2022 #119

In the US, they almost never do sequencing testing YP_Yooper Jan 2022 #126

They won't know unless that particular test undergoes genome sequencing, Ocelot II Jan 2022 #129

I wish I knew which one it was that we have. MontanaMama Jan 2022 #120

Hope you'll be feeling better soon. Even with the vax rate this high France still is getting cases. GoneOffShore Jan 2022 #123
