That's worth a try. I have some from last year's COVID. What I want is either codeine cough syrup or phenergan cough syrup, but everyone's afraid to prescribe it anymore.

LOL, everyone loves codeine cough syrup. Funny story I was about 18 or 19 living with my dad. Had a horrible cough and just felt like shit. Dad says try this, old scrip. About 4 am I wake up to pee. I get up and fall straight into the wall. Yell for my dad, he comes in flips on the light. I tell him what happen. He helps me to the bathroom. “Your eyes are as big as saucers, how much of that cough syrup did you take?“ “exactly what the bottle says 2 table spoons” “you idiot it says teaspoons“ lesson learn lol

Yes, yes they do. It works and it is one of the few cough control products that can actually help you sleep instead of hacking the night away.

When I was a corpsman I would give that stuff out like candy; and until recently, my doc would prescribe it willy-nilly. But now with the crackdown on opioids and addictive medicine the state medical board is looking at these closely, so no one wants to prescribe it anymore.

Two tablespoons lol. That's DWI territory.

Well, at least in this case an mRNA vaccine might have some efficacy? BUT WAIT...they don't have any approved mRNA treatments...:rolleyes:

You’ll crush it, Doc. Hope you feel better.

Also- lil update. Everyone already tracking the mandate going away- and the command is saying, “Well, it won’t be mandated. But! That just means we have to stop punishing whoever is getting punished. If you want to go TDY or deploy, we are going to make it mandatory in that context.”

Legitimately segregating the force into two distinct groups in the name of ‘readiness’.

I think what they will find is that their readiness will drop.

I think the proposed vaccine is a protein based vaccine? I don't know much about it. I DO know it'll be focused to the young and the old, the two pop groups most likely to have high mortality and morbidity.

Took this photo last year of signage on the wall of the county vital records office. Passed 99 years after the 1924 law went into effect. Seems like a real mixed bag for their target demographic- possible compensation.
 
Orlando is getting schwacked with some crud right now and all of the cool kids are down with sinus and lung butter. Legends, like my household, are so un-phased we're tacking on double conjunctivitis.

Pink eye is disgusting. Ever had to scrape pus or whatever off of your eyeball? Dig caked yellow shit out of your tear ducts? Gross.

One plus from 2020's back alley abortion socio-medical experiment is now everything is compared to COVID. COVID is now THE standard by which all colds, flus, broken bones, lacerations, cancers, whatever medical conditions are judged. While part of that statement is dramatic flair, smart people see where I'm going with my sarcasm. COVID isn't A benchmark, it is THE benchmark. I think that subtle shift of the needle is rather troubling.

All the reflections we are getting is "no TDY, no deployment" without the shot, and I doubt Austin backs off that one.

"Nah, see, we aren't tossing them out over the shot, they just can't contribute in any meaningful way to the force. The mission will still be done, just by servicemembers selling their souls while others still make rank and still retire all without...you know, doing what a military is supposed to do. This will cause no resentment whatsoever in the force and will totally, pinky swear, not impact our retention numbers."

The fucking insanity. Wearing a reserve that kills jumpers, doing dangerous shit with weak exits, wearing masks in a fucking open aircraft. The absolute dumbest shit I’ve seen today.

What's this about the reserve being dangerous? I don't think I've ever heard that outside of jumper error.

Agree with everything else. We still jumped during COVID, but we just tested before manifest. No masks on the birds
