covid precautions, for me specificallly

[redbird]

I saw my doctor today, by telemedicine, and she thinks the level of precautions the three of us were taking last week is still reasonable, despite having lost Evusheld. Lost in this case means it's not useful against the most recent covid variants, including the one now dominant in New England.

So, as long as I keep wearing N95 masks everywhere indoors except at home, I can keep doing some of my own shopping, and riding the T to go places and do things that are low-enough risk while I'm there.

Based on that discussion I made a new appointment to see her in person in two weeks to have a wart removed. I'd meant to ask about museums, and will probably send her a query about that via MyChart.

* The drug I'm taking to hopefully prevent MS exacerbations takes out all B cells. I am vaccinated and boosted, and I hope that gave me enough T cells to do me some good, but I had no detectable covid antibodies two weeks after my third full dose of the mRNA vaccine.

If you can afford it, a portable CO2 monitor could be nice; low levels (e.g. under 800 ppm) despite lots of people indicates good ventilation -- not enough to unmask, but nice to not feel under siege. The Vitalight Mini is around US$40.00
