The guy I knew which contracted Lyme disease took almost 2 years to get a proper diagnoses. He would get sicker than a dog for 3-4 months every winter. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Lyme disease just wasn't that well known 30 years ago. Once they figured it out they treated him and he got better, sort of. The disease was gone but it destroyed his joints. Particularly his knees.

OK, that is also probably a reason why in my childhood nobody talked about the Lyme disease although my country house was in the middle of the tick territory.

I thought it was because the Soviet medicine did not know about it but it seems that it was also unknown in Western society.

About 15-20% of the usa population refuses to take this vaccine no matter what. I would call those anti-vaxxers. This vaccine has at various times had upwards of more than 50% saying they would not take it. That number has improved but I would generally say roughly 1/2 the population has some level of distrust/suspicions of the vaccine mostly based on false information.

Is it really that high of %? Boy are we dumb.

When I was younger I worked at a vet clinic and I can most definitely say that Utah has fleas.

Not good, especially considering what long haul Covid is doing to young and middle age adults....

Long Covid alarm as 21% report symptoms after five weeks

Official UK data suggests nearly 10% still have symptoms 12 weeks after infection

“These figures are somewhat more worrying even than many had feared. If one extrapolates to global Covid-19 cases, this means there are 5-10 million people out there with a long-term condition for which we have no current explanation and no treatment plan,” he said, adding there was no information on how long the condition lasts.

The wife and I have been locked down / isolated (drive-thrus and curbside only) for about 8 weeks now.
Feelin' pretty good about the decision to do so until we can get vaccinated.
