COVID-19 Statistics | Feb. 3, 2022 – Lost Coast Outpost

Residents, particularly those who are unvaccinated, are encouraged to take protective measures against the highly transmissible Omicron variant by washing hands frequently, wearing a well-fitted mask approved by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (C...

How Long After Having Covid Can I Get a Booster Shot? – The New York Times

But if you’re currently dealing with an active infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends waiting at least until you no longer have symptoms and have met their criteria for ending isolation. (Meaning, if you had a mild infection, it’s been at least five days since your symptoms started, your symptoms are improving and you’ve been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the help of medications.) Updated Feb. 3, 2022, 5:25 p.m. ET That being said, some scientists recommend deferring your booster for even longer. Ali Ellebedy, an immunologist at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, said that it might make sense to wait until you’ve fully recovered or can get a negative P.C.R. test, though this isn’t a C.D.C. requirement to end isolation ...

The Worst Person In The World is an exciting drama about how damn confusing your 30s are – The A.V. Club

Renate Reinsve in The Worst Person In The WorldPhoto: Neon The big centerpiece sequence in The Worst Person In The World is a breathtaking flight of fancy: an explicit break from the reality this sensitive, energetic drama of thirtysomething confusion has established up to that point. Increasingly dissatisfied in her relationship, and unable to shake her attraction to someone new, Julie (Renate Reinsve) presses a button in her brain, and suddenly everything around her becomes a tableau she can race through—cars and pedestrians frozen in place, the neighborhood at a standstill, like in that old Twilight Zone episode about the stopwatch that stops time. These kinds of flourishes are a speciality of Norwegian director Joachim Trier, who loves to find inventive ways to visualize what’s go...
