    The same thing that always happens will happen: I can’t take it! It makes me sick!

    (For a day).

    The resilience and lack of capacity for any discomfort at all is mind boggling. A fever for 1 day probably won’t kill you, will protect your family, and save you A LOT of money in medical bills and work loss (paycheck loss) going forward.

    I’ve done 2 things post COVID booster, and post H1N1 which was live attenuated in the nose: stayed home and played a computer game, or, took Tylenol and gone about my day.

    It amazes me that society continues to function given people the number of people who can’t handle minor life discomforts without complete personal implosion. Granted, the grace with which COVID masking for 10-20min at a time was handled by the masses is a marker of that.
