The extra warming devices would be beer and a weber grill and we will find a reason to tailgate every other day
My covid vaccines hurt like heck going in.
Pretty sure neither is available at grade school lunch.

As a type 1 diabetic who takes 2-4 shots of insulin everyday for the rest of my life, I can honestly say, you’ll be fine, it’s really no big deal.

Yep tolerance is relative. I can tell when people are from the north and not from Florida. They are in shorts when it is in the 60s here, while Floridians are in jackets and long pants.
Here is a historical impromptu test of cold tolerance: on what was thought to be a "wild boy":
Classic Case Studies in Psychology

Things you never say to someone who is needle phobic!!!!!!
Seriously though my 1st shot didn't hurt at all. 2nd a tiny bit as the fluid went in. 3rd none. 1st and third I assumed I had placebo at first because of how much it didn't hurt. Flu shot this year hurt actually (again fluid only). I do follow the whole never let them count down for me and distract myself though. A good person doing shots who understands phobias will help and do make it painless.
They said people always think they are crazy. I'm letting them know they aren't crazy.
Its not an unbearable pain and only lasts a couple seconds. But they aren't crazy. Id rather be ready for it!
Most important thing is to look away. If you feel anything, tell yourself it's the medic pinching your skin ready to jab you. Then the jab will never come, because that pinching of skin was the jab. All the while distract yourself. Try to remember all the lyrics to Don't Cry For Me Argentina.

PARTS of the USA will never go back to normal.
Honolulu Festival Canceled in 2022 Due to COVID-19 - Hawaii Magazine
One of Oʻahu's most beloved festivals will be called off once again this year due to the ever-present threat of COVID-19, and its various mutations. Thewww.hawaiimagazine.com
Is this pandemic will getting worse this Winter. Between next year and 2023 will be EVEN tough for even worse new future variants soon.
We'll NEVER go back to normal. Masks will be longer as social distancing thanks to Delta and Omicron as even new future variants will make even worse to longer to back to normal. Stupid anti-vaxxers all over the world. Pandemic WILL be MORE longer. Now every Winter will getting worser that pandemic will be longer for years.Any questions about this worse pandemic, guys?
I think I have a theory that COVID-19 pandemic will getting EVEN longer because Delta and possibity Omicron. USA will NEVER go back to normal as ditching masks and social distancing EVER because Delta and Omicron.
The anticipation is often worse. It gets you all keyed up and pre freaked out. As others suggested, anything to not see it coming and distract yourself. Music, conversation, definitely looking away. I like to squeeze the armrest with my other hand. Anything that will keep you from getting all agitated ahead of time. Then, even if it’s uncomfortable, the actual shot only takes a few seconds. If you’ve avoided the anxiety beforehand, you can tolerate all kinds of stuff for a few seconds.
Concentrate on the lollipop instead.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. passenger railroad Amtrak told a U.S. House of Representatives panel on Thursday it expects to be forced to cut some service in January because of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Amtrak President Stephen Gardner said a House Transporation subcommittee that 94% of employees have been fully vaccinated, and 96% have received at least one vaccination dose ahead of a Jan. 4 deadline.
"We anticipate that we will not initially have enough employees to operate all the trains we are currently operating when the federal mandate takes effect," Gardner said. "This will likely necessitate temporary frequency reductions, primarily for our long-distance services."
Amtrak said in August it had about 18,000 employees.
Gardner said it expects the reductions in long-distance services "because of the relatively small crew bases at intermediate points along multi-day long-distance routes where conductors and engineers report to work."
He noted many engineers, conductors and on-board service employees retired or left Amtrak and it temporarily halted hiring due to funding uncertainty.
Without additional employee vaccinations "we will not have sufficient trained staff to support current service frequency on
affected routes, as engineers and conductors must undergo extensive training... We are currently determining what service reductions will be necessary and intend to communicate
them publicly by next week."
Gardner added Amtrak "will be prepared to reinstate
frequencies as soon as the number of available employees permits."
Congress has approved $66 billion for rail as part of a massive infrastructure bill, with Amtrak receiving $22 billion and $36 billion for competitive grants.
Gardner said the funding "will require educating, hiring, training, and developing career paths for thousands of additional workers who will be needed to fill jobs
requiring high levels of skill that provide good wages and benefits."
This may be until mid-March 2022 comes if the mask mandate will be lifted for good for trains.

No, they won’t… but they’ll probably be around for several more months.
All the safety precautions will eventually end, it’s just going to take time.

A quick dose of reality.
Cases and deaths per capita are starting to rise again in Florida.... as is mostly everywhere else.
Very true. Florida is over 8 cases per 100k and may soon reach 8.5 and bounce up to 9. Hopefully it won't and that the jump was due to Tanksgiving gatherings. However, Christmas and New Years will be here in just 15 days so even if we get s small drop over the next week or so, we should expect a bigger increase in January.
I thought by getting shot #1 of the required 2 shots of the shingles vaccine recently was going to be easy peasy, not so. When I turned away to not look at the needle, the shot not only hurt going into my arm but strangely I could feel the weird sensation of the liquid being injected into my upper arm and feel it go inside like I've never felt that feeling before. For the next 24 hours it sucked, arm pain, fatigue, dizzyness, overall feeling very weak, then the next day I felt much better. Didn't feel much except a feeling of pin prick regarding Moderna shots when going into arm.

I guess that whole nationwide system that's in place to get people with heart attacks to the cath lab within 3 hours or less just happened by itself, because apparently nobody cares about heart disease. It's not like people worked relentlessly to develop and implement the system over a period of several decades. Nah, it all just happened because we're magic in America and we never need to work hard on anything.
Or, maybe this is classic a "whataboutism" and it is possible to be deeply concerned about both heart disease, and the new medical threat known as COVID that didn't exist 30 months ago.
Obesity has always been discussed in medicine. But this is a COVID thread. The structual changes and habits over the past 70 years that have brought us the obesity epidemic aren't going away with the snap of the finger. COVID, however, could become a minor medical nuisance if people just got vaccinated and practiced good preventative medicine, rather than resisting everything like the nation of petulant children we have apparently become.
EDIT: Looks like the post that provoked this rant from me was deleted.

A friend of mine asked me on September 12, 2001, if we will ever return to normal. My answer was we would return to a new normal. The ssme answer applies here. Theveotld has changed and things will never be the same. I will never go into a drug store without a mask, there are lots of sick people in there. We are now used to seeing others with masks on and that will continue even if only 10% or so. Life will go on with a new normal.
