So remember our supporter show yesterday where I talked about our scheduled first vacation in over a year to Hawaii, supposed to leave tomorrow AM? State of Hawaii requires COVID testing from select approved partners no earlier than 72hrs prior to departure. We used an approved company called Vault Health which does home testing, shipped UPS overnight air, on Wed. Heard from UPS that the shipment was delayed in Kentucky due to weather, NO ETA on delivery 😭
No local testing options that are fast enough, and they would have been $250 per person even if they were available (there's 4 of us).
Vault Health may not refund our $120/person testing fee, even though we can't go on vacation.
Really bummed right now. Maui businesses don't get our patronage, Vault Health gets free money, and my kids are so sad but will get over it. First world problems...FUCK COVID ✈️
Mrs. DoggMD and I hiked up to the top of a crazy temple and cemetery called Otani Sobyo above Kyoto this morning. Pure madness 🔥 and HELLLA G-HOSTS!
Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
My news feed is like living in a parallel universe. First our local hospital set to close two whole wards and an article explaining why the NHS says this loss of beds will benefit patients and while I was trying to get my head round that logic this headline was confusing it ...still good to know that chintz is back. I had no idea Alex Jones was a supporter of floral prints.
(Ohhhhh not that Alex Jones - I see!)
10 days ago I lost the hearing in my left ear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a reversal with crazy dosing of Prednisone by the time the remix of Rubber Soul hits on October 2nd. Failing that, I still have the Beatles Mono Box to listen to. 🤪
