Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Man I should get a booster
At this point you’re probably better off waiting for the newly approved ones to be rolled out in August or September. Your doctor or pharmacist could tell you for sure.
Just read a local article on getting it now and then again in the fall. Coworker had covid last week and said it was the worst she's felt in years. I'm signed up to get my 2023/24 vaccine tonight. https://captimes.com/news/health/covid-on-the-rise-in-dane-county-what-you-should-know/article_7f20f8e0-3fa6-11ef-bc9d-db5cc29b1bcd.html
I keep forgetting to get one. I work with a bunch of idiots so it really is vital.
New variant came on quick for me. One day I wasn't even sure if I was sick, next day couldn't record a temperature lower than 102 so I tested.
I'm in the midst of the ramp up. Hoping today is the worst of it but prepared for the worst. Def hitting way faster than OG and way harder than omicron
Can't even get them around me every hospital is completely out. They're telling me you can't even get an appointment until October November
Just got one two weeks ago.
Pharmacy wouldn’t let me because it hadn’t been a full year. Go to a different chain.
Man fuck the vaccines. I got the full recommended dose and still got COVID like 5-6 times already. At this point it's just like a harsh flu.
Covid mutates really fast, just like the flu. We will never get rid of it, but adapt to its existence like the flu.
Be glad you're not dead, then.
