Shocking discovery of the day: Apparently if you PAY more than 50% of your credit limit to a @Chase@twitter.com credit card (to pay up for a big charge already made) in a single transaction, they will helpfully block your credit card for a week to protect you. 🤦♂️

In the pre-covid world, did people stop worrying about catching a flu just because they got a flu shot? Did you stop minding that a colleague at work was sniffling and coughing?
Vaccine or not, the sane among us will keep up the safety precautions for a while.

Omg what's the first thing you're gonna do when YOU get the vaccine shot?? You're gonna go back home, wait a month, get your second shot, go back home, wait 14 days for antibodies, then keep wearing a mask and social distancing until community transmission reduction. That's what.

I feel like way too many people believe that, with regards to news or other sources of information, *open bias* is preferable to *perceived bias*. Something on the line of " ... at least they are honest about it".
That is such a screwed up logic, I don't know where to begin.
Words in Youtube video titles that will make me NOT click on them:
- Truth about ...
- Exposed: ...

PSA: You need to do all four actions, and not pick and choose as you like, to reduce your risk of infection.
If you do only one, and then complain that it doesn't work, ... well, you are doing it wrong.
Reminder to self - people in my age group are 3x more likely to be hospitalized, and 10x more likely to die from a covid19 infection, compared to kids in their 20s. 😟
