   Feeling better today. Slept until afternoon and feel generally fine, just little energy. Went for a short walk in the town cemetery with my aunt who is starting to take in the planters from the family graves now that it is after labor day. Some of those family members died of communicable diseases such as tuberculosis.

     For fuck sake, get vaccine. Get your MMR, get your TDAP and HPV and get your damn Covid boosters. Its just absurd how much less death and illness people could be dealing with if everyone just rolled up their sleeves once in a while.

     Covid isn't over. Covid will probably never be over, but there is a ton of things you can do to reduce the chance that it screws you over and regular vaccination is one of them.

     My great aunt Mae, who only has a footstone, died of Measles of all things when she was three, while her mother was pregnant with my grandma. Measles, yeah, that is a thing you can die of, if you don't get the now widely available MMR vaccine.

     Apparently some people in Minnesota don't appear to have gotten that memo and there is an outbreak of about 40 confirmed cases, mostly down around MPLS. If a high enough percentage of the population gets vaccinated, you get herd immunity and nobody gets it, but people have been increasingly stupid about vaccines in the last decade or so and the vaccination rates have dropped in many states to the point where you now get flare ups of a disease which was virtually eradicated (and could be again).
