Still not feeling particularly good about this with baby in utero. Pregnant women tend to have really bad outcomes. (Might be behind a paywall, so open in incognito mode):

Yeah, we have a friend who'd been trying to do IVF for awhile. It finally worked and now she has Covid.

No mention in those stats about vax impact though?

No. It's been frustrating to really tell what my risk is. I'm acting as if I'm one level below what my immunizations are. So I figure I'm probably at vaxxed but not boosted, even though I got boosted in August.

I'm pretty much isolated this week, and next week I'm back to work from home full time for the immediate future, probably until the baby comes.

Take care, wishing you much support from those around you.

John Boehner explains why sugar costs twice as much in the US as everywhere else:

Sugar was never really my fight, but I always thought it was a little silly that the sugar industry has all this power in Washington. But I liked to spend my time on issues I might actually be able to change, and I knew the chances of winning a fight with Big Sugar was basically zero.

At one point in the mid-1990s, I got fed up and decided to yank their chains anyway. I was on the Agricultural Committee and were getting ready to put together the 1996 farm bill. I walked into my office while this was going on and found a sugar lobbyist hanging around, trying to stay close to the action. I felt like being a smart-ass so I made some wise-crack about the sugar industry raping the taxpayers. Without another word, I walked into my private office and shut the door. I had no real plan to go after the sugar people. I was just screwing with the guy.

My phone did not stop ringing for the next five weeks….I had no idea how many people in my district were connected to the sugar industry. People were calling all day, telling me they made pumps or plugs or boxes or some other such part used in sugar production and I was threatening their job. Mayors called to tell me about employers their towns depended on who would be hurt by a sugar downturn. It was the most organize effort I had ever seen.

And that’s why don’t fuck with sugar.

It doesn't take all that many people calling a congressional office to make a difference...

If only the sushi itamae lobby had similar strength we would not have to keep reading about Flower and his friends making “sushi.”

Happy New Year, everyone. The eldest wee Slothrop has now gone and picked up COVID for a second time, but somehow the rest of us are still uninfected.

Hope all are well. Not uncommon. The person (that I know of) who brought Omicron to my office had absolutely no other contact test positive. Not even her husband.

You are back in your office?

He lives in a frat house, a sort of ongoing superspreader event, and we try to limit exposure to him.

My office has been open since June of 2020. I go in a few days a week, working from home the others. When I go in, I spend as little time as possible there, keep the windows open, wear an N95 and make sure to go out for a lunchtime run.

It doesn't appear there's any way to avoid getting infected with omicron. Almost everyone I know who gets a sinus issue or scratchy throat and a bit of malaise and can access a test is coming back positive for it.

There is the same way as in the beginning, not sharing indoor air with other people.

Everyone I know who tested positive recently, was allegedly asymptomatic, but tested for travel or for family get togethers or other reasons. All vaxed, boosted, etc.
