I feel like this is a lie. I can't imagine anyone would actually offer an AirBnB in Lincoln.

Besides Murph's family, who thinks staying in an AirBnB in Lincoln is a good idea?

It was that or sleeping bags on the floor. Too old for that shit.

A few years back I went into town (Lincoln) charged with getting some wine. After striking out at Kroger I thought "this is dumb, let's find a liquor store". I went to the "Wine section" which was mostly Mad Dog 20/20. The owner sees me looking puzzled and says "I bet you want the back room, some very good wine in there!". By "very good" he meant Barefoot (The Official Wine Sponsor of the NFL!). I skulked over to WalMart and did find some dusty bottles of Rodney Strong Cab on the top shelf (I am 2 miles from Rodney Strong typing this - but the WalMart wine was a "California Blend" which means grapes from Gonzales or Salinas).

But it turns out there is actually a pretty damn decent brewpub in Lincoln and that guy has some decent wine you can buy for off sale. Nonetheless this trip I stopped at Binny's after going swimming in Springfield. I give Binny's two thumbs up, they even carried St George's Pear Liquer.

I knew it was in that weird sandy no man’s land between B-N, Spfld and Peorrhea. I have former in-laws in Green Valley and still laugh about how they pronounce San Jose. It’s hard for me to believe that you of all people married someone from that area.

I know it's hard for you to believe I married up, but yes, I did in fact do so! And unlike you, my in-laws are not "former"!

I’d wager the people leading the discussion on how to handle the situation were from the Bay Area.

Besides, it was actually central IL/borderline NE IL where I encountered this phenomenon. Champaign TV and radio is chock full of Covid stuff.  At least compared to what I am used to.

I spoke to two friends in Champaign today.  I asked if there was much chatter about COVID in the community.  Both said no; people have moved on. 

One mentioned that there were news reports in September 2023 about rising COVID rates across East Central Illinois, but not at the same levels as previous years.  There were also reports in August about the rollout of the latest COVID vaccines. 

In November, the local health department reported that seasonal respiratory illnesses were on the rise, with medical professionals recommending that people get vaccinated ahead of the Thanksgiving Holiday.  My friends have seen a few people (usually one or two) in the grocery stores and pharmacies wearing masks (mostly seniors), but nothing out of the ordinary. They also haven’t seen any recent news reports on hospitalizations. 

I can respect MN’s interest in finding the origin of COVID, though we disagree about the best method for doing that.  However, you’ve been gaslighting us on COVID since the beginning of the pandemic.  You’re not fooling anybody here.

I’m grateful your friends in C-U could weigh in on the difference between the amount of Covid related messaging in C-U versus where I live and settle this once and for all.

My early takes on Covid have stood the test of time. Meanwhile I’ve watched people move the goalposts constantly in regards to expectations for the vaccine, masking, lockdown, etc. Not because data or science changed, but because they need to support their narrative. It’s insanity.

One of my favorites is how the whole lockdown/vaccine/mask obsessed crowd completely memory holed the bullshit vaccine transmission rate effectiveness and magically refocused solely on severity of infection.

It’s like a weird reverse Mandela Effect phenomenon. What? THAT never happened!

Tested negative for Covid, but have a terrible virus that’s been going around. It’s kicking my ass and currently soaked in bed with a fever.

The flu? Aren't you too young for The RSV?

Feel better. But if you don't,  can I have your soul?

Wear a mask or two, that should help.
And get well.

Gargle with warm salt water made with sea salt or Himalayan pink salt.

Use a saline nasal spray

cream of chicken soup or chicken broth with plenty of crushed garlic and cayenne pepper..

Blend some hot water, brandy, honey, fresh lemon juice, and  fresh ginger root
