* Wednesday: Squirrel got his booster too late, looks like. (They take two weeks for full coverage). He gets tested at work and had yesterday off, so 2-3 days since infection. We resigned ourselves to the inevitability of infection when they informed him he'd be working with COVID patients. They've been taking all precautions, but Omicron is so terribly infectious.

He is staying entirely in his room; the cats and I are staying out here. I'm bringing him provisions and the like, and the plan is for us not to interact directly, but we must assume my exposure, given how terribly infectious omicron is. I was boosted in early December, so the risk to me is not that great. Either I'm in the unlucky 10% or I'm not. I must hope Pfiser will protect me. I told the Millennials to stay away, lest we infect them, because that is the far greater risk.

* Thursday I masked up with the best mask I had left and went out for provisions to tide Squirrel over in his room for quarantine, since someone had to go, and better me than him. Once I returned, I considered myself in quarantine too. This took all the Thursday spoons and likely some of Friday's.

Friday, I dealt with phone stuff and scheduled a Covid test for Tuesday. I dragged in forage delivery from the patio and sorted and put it away. I did the usual essential things. I am exhausted, but I would be in any case. I have a chronic sinus infection that comes in waves so is that mild stuffiness COVID or the usual? My lungs are in the normal range for this time of year and weather, though on the slightly goopier end of normal. COVId or just my CF Carrier/Allegries/COPD?

Squirrel was still recovering from the booster when he got COVID. We both are pretty sure his symptoms are all or mostly booster recovery, since his arc is pretty much the same one I experienced early December. He is noticeably better every day, but the other shoe could drop and he's higher risk than me.

Tavy can't understand any of this and is extra bitey. He doesn't understand why there are no Millennials. he can't understand why squirrel doesn't pet him. he can't understand why I won't crack the door so he can see what Squirrel is doing and maybe hang out with him. All the routines are in tatters. He gratuitously bit me so hard during lung time Thursday night that he left a dark bruise on my wrist. (The arm was innocently lying across my stomach a couple inches away. I was still. It was definitely nothing I did.) Livia is subtly unsettled and clearly missing his butt pets, but she is very much my cat, if you follow, and more cat social oriented than a people cat. This is so much harder on the emperor who is very much an extrovert.

* Not surprisingly, me having been a 14th century specialist before my break with academia and having been interested in yersina pestis since before even that other major plague struck like lightening and burned through the most vital and creative of two generations, I have thought about the Great Pestilence a lot in the past two years. I have written about that and the Great Plague of Athens in this space and others off and on.

What I haven't written of much or possibly at all is how much I've been thinking about wars. About all the soldiers marching into or later airlifted into meat grinders in places like the Somme or Galipoli or Gettysburg or Omaha Beach or Dien bien Phu. Really all of the Crimean War, or our American Civil War or WWI, and big chunks of all the wars after, once the gun tech reached a certain level.

I think about this when it comes to medical workers in the current Covid crisis. I think about two years of Doctors, nurses, and paramedics, exhausted beyond weeping begging over and over for people to where their masks and stay inside. I think of wave after wave grinding them down to burnt out nubs. I think of men baaing like sheep as they leave their troop transports because that was the only protest they were allowed as they were marched towards the meat grinder battles of WWI, most to come back badly damaged or not at all. You generally can't see neurological and cardiac damage the way you can see missing limbs or a ruined face, but oh the scars are their and so is the PTSD by whatever name an era chooses to call it.

In my highly vaccinated area, in the gap between the Delta spike and the Omicron wave that is drowning us now, the hospital sucked up 130+ nurses out of surrounding nursing home to fill the holes left by those leaving one way or another. (Burnt out, damaged irreparably, psychological damage, and those who don't care enough about other people that infecting and killing people for the Republican political cause made them no longer suitable for a profession that is fundamentally about empathy when practiced well). I kept thinking of the terrible stage in war where the old men and children are the only ones left to call up as a last defense. The healthy nurses went over the top long ago and the people left are people like Squirrel in the most vulnerable categories still able to work. Those nursing homes are now killing fields staffed by a skeleton crew.

Those people lost to death and disability and physical and emotional fatigue... We aren't getting them back. All that skill and intelligence and experience, they have moved on one way or another. The best case scenario here is things like private practice and medical bureaucracy. Far too many are gone for good. The first health care worker to die in NYC's first wave was a gay man. So many followed him.

The first wave could have been less deadly if people like 45 and Boris Johnson and Jair Bolsanaro weren't entirely devoid of ethics and empathy, but a lot of the early part couldn't be helped. It was better in places like the one where I live with responsible leaders who saw saving lives as the goal; it was a nightmare in most Republican controlled areas where killing as many people as possible for capitalism is a linchpin of the "pro-life" agenda. After that first wave though? That's all pretty much on purpose. Selfishness from the International down to the individual level.

Healthcare workers are being endlessly pushed into the meat grinder, and it is inexcusable and irreparable. We'll be lucky if the system recovers in a generation and that's an optimistic view. The people? So many of the people won't, and there's not really a token attempt anymore at saving them.
