    than flu"

    It may be no more lethal, but Covid is far more annoying. With
    the flu I don't feel like doing much of anything, and don't unless I
    really have to. With Covid I was too tired to do much of anything. I
    think the symptoms linger longer too. I have a flu shot scheduled for
    today and the latest and greatest Covid booster shot next week. That
    will be my fifth Covid vaccination and I'm still not getting messages
    from Mars or anything. :-(

    I got my 5th stab today along with the latest flu shot. Oh, jesus! What
    if them come out with another booster? Can't this be the last one?
    What's wrong with them damn scientists? Can't they just nuke covid once
    and for all (and the damn flu, and monkeypox, and malaria, and polio,
    and pneumonia, and etc, etc, etc)?
