I've had two shots (Moderna, in March) thought I was bulletproof. Nope.

My younger brother also both shots, Moderna. Out of nowhere he got nailed, a pretty nasty case, too -- lost sense of smell, lots of aching in his joints, fever, blah blah blah. So. Obviously, masks any time I'm indoors around other people, and will shop in hours when the stores have more personal room. What else?

Up until the text from my brother I didn't think I still had any skin in the game. TBH I've been amused to know that only stubborn fools were open to it.

I'm no longer amused.

Will a booster shot help? I've found conflicting views, as I've been playing Internet MD. (YANMD, just wondering what you're doing) If yes, should it be Moderna again? Ought I to try to force my doctors hand on this booster shot piece? He's a good doc but pretty conservative.

Do I need to scale back to last year? I was so damned isolated but doing the correct thing, not only for me but for everyone. I'm sick at the thought of that, I live alone not married no kids, my social lifeline is friendships, telephone/text/Zoom is cute but nothing ~ nothing ~ beats human contact. This last month or two has been great, everything opening up, myself included.

I trust you people. What are you doing?
