挎友 ~ ❤️ good old sidecar motorcycles, shrimp, sunflowers and iridescence. I impose sentences but I'm not a judge, and when things get bad, I make them verse. A badisch-Iowan with 大连 characteristics. 🇪🇺🇩🇪🇺🇲🇨🇳🇺🇿

Was um alles in der Welt haben denn unsere ganzen Virologen gelutscht in den letzten Jahren?? Sind medizinische und mikrobiologische Grundlagen nicht mehr Bestandteil der fachlichen Ausbildung oder sind die Herrschaften durch wiederholte Covid-Infektionen einfach alle kognitiv beeinträchtigt?

I would have had to put the rear bench down in my lovely little Mitsubishi Space Star (EU market version of the Mirage), but otherwise "no biggie".

So viele Leben wie eine Katze zu haben klingt gar nicht mehr erstrebenswert; besser ist es doch, so viele Immunitäten zu haben wie ein Nazi in Deutschland.

Hi Larry, this is my absolute favorite protective fashion accessory, too! It's from the German company HARD [solid quality at EU-standard FFP2] and I just contacted them about this design, but they've discontinued it for now.

Definitely! For Frauenheilkunde, Germany best. TCM rocked in China even if you don't believe in it...and medication was super affordable. In the USA, visiting Fachmedizin and drive-thru vaccine shots—and the dentist gets you totally stoned when the German dentist still asks, "Spüren Sie was?" 😅

In some aspects, yeah; for the Nachsorgeuntersuchung that I need, I'll probably have to leave the country if I don't want to be heckled by a line of "pro-lifers".

Meine Interpretation ist mangelnde Vorstellungskraft: die Leute sind unfähig, zu erkennen, wie/dass sie Einfluss haben auf den Lauf der Dinge, dass sie Glied sind in (Infektions-)Ketten, dass ihr Verhalten Konsequenzen hat, dass sie krank—und sogar ziemlich tot—werden können und dann Feierabend ist.

Echt? Cool...ich bin also Trendsetterin! 😃😉 Habe das gar nicht mitgekriegt; es war ja eher ein Nischen-Retro-Drink die letzten 20+ Jahre. Love that stuff (every once in a while).

pssst a tip from a friend: the application for the Committee on Gender Equity in Linguistics travel grant for LSA 2025 is still open. We haven't received too many applications; try it, you never know. It's a straightforward form, but lmk if you have questions 🐦🐦

All good! Except for this medical mystery across my face, covering my nose and mouth. 😉 I actually had a Facharzttermin, in the middle of nowhere! I would have waited until the late fall in Germany for one...or longer.

The prairie bunnies are playing in the still grassless patches around the septic tank lids—doing binkies, flopping down to roll in the dirt, then resting with their long hind legs and little butts sprawled out. They are such a joy to see through the window when the eyes seek a break from the screen.

Übrigens: falls ihr in 🇩🇪 über noch eine Weile haltbare Restposten dieser #FFP2-Masken von HARD mit dem floralen Design (Kinder- u. Crumbseyface-Größe XS) stolpert, würde ich mich sehr über ein Care-Paket freuen! Hier in 🇺🇸 finde ich keine anständigen hochwertigen und vor allem passenden Masken.

Yeah...they really don't do hygiene here and I'm used to Chinese hospitals, but that also means that I can't relate to not masking up in a clinical setting. *Especially* in a small rural hospital that serves several counties.

Cool idea! I'm sure your friend can find a decently-priced mask there.

The Lone Masker in southern Iowa. Dr's appointment at the prairie hospital and the visiting physicians & nurses are from the Des Moines metro area, where covid is currently very popular again. One nurse was clearly sick, hacking and snotting, so I'm glad I pulled through, super self-consciously. 😟

Personalvermittler in D schreibt zum 100. Mal seit Dezember 2023, "Wir bemühen uns weiterhin..." Anstatt einfach direkt zu sagen, dass sich die angeblich zu besetzenden Stellen nie konkretisieren/sie mich gar nicht vermitteln können. Habe nun die Löschung meiner Daten erbeten. Die Suche geht weiter.

See you at the livestock shows across the state and later at the #Iowa State Fair, bird flu! The local preventive and protective measure is: "We trust that everyone exhibiting their animals shares our morals and values."

"...wissen nicht ganz genau, wie häufig ein Erwachsener eine Infektion haben muss..." Oh, ich weiß es ganz ohne medizinisches Studium: Gar nicht! Einfach gar nicht, dann "bemerkt" man auch nichts!! Drosten bereue ich im Nachhinein schon; der Mann hat sein Rückgrat und seine Eier verkauft.
