Reblog for results and tell me more in the tags!! If you haven't had COVID, don't vote—just reblog it with a reference tag so you can see the results when it closes.
This is NOT a remotely scientific poll, so please don't take it too seriously or get too technical with it. I'm just curious whether smelling smoke/fire that isn't really there is a common symptom for COVID survivors. Since I had omicron in June 2022, it has happened to me several times.
(Also, please forgive me for making the poll USA-centric—I chose the timeline I was most familiar with as a US American myself. If you're not American, absolutely feel free to vote.)

Daily Comic Journal: December 2, 2021: "A Virus From Another Planet?"
For those of you who’ve never seen the animated show “Futurama” (and if you haven’t, why not? It’s great!) Lrrr is the bombastic villain who rules the planet Omicron Persei 8. Lrrr is voiced by the voice actor Maurice LaMarche and every time Lrrr appears on the show he announces who he is. “I am Lrrr! Ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!” I’ve heard that so many times it’s burned into my brain.…

Covid infections are growing in nearly all states -- with the sharpest increases in the West, according to CDC data. The FLiRT and LB.1 variants are most common.

Ok futurama covid episode is a little taxing but I gotta give them credit for the omicron variant joke
#veesaysthings#futurama#for those who don’t know: there’s a group of recurring characters on futurama from the planet Omicron Persei 8#and they’ve been appearing on the show like almost since the beginning#so of course in the episode about the ‘explovid’ virus they made a joke about these characters getting the ‘omicron variant’#like the joke was right there so slightly low hanging fruit#but it’s hilarious that they had the whole omicron setup years before covid ever existed

"Unknown Variants"
It's been a while since I knew the name of the current variant(s).
This comic made me fix that.
There's some patrons in this strip. The patron with a link to share is Kat d. They're an amazing gamer with a great Instagram that you should be following.
If you would like to be featured in strip, become a patron!

This is a brief vent and tangential aside about the healthcare hype surrounding naming some of the current trending and contagious COVID-19 variants, the "FLiRT" variants (of course, please stay safe this summer (2024) with COVID-19).
Linking my Substack article about this, which gets updated with corrections
--
Here are some highlights of this post (the TLDR):
- It's a vent about naming the FLiRT COVID-19 variants (a well-known stereotype that scientists like to make acronyms or catchy names).
- It's an explanation of how the naming FLiRT came to be.
- I'm bothered and irked because, in an attempt to distinguish variants, "FLiRT" doesn't. Additionally, it makes light of an ongoing pandemic.
- I really am not critiquing the person or people who came up with the name; I'm more upset about the name (and its playful connotations) catching on in the media and becoming a part of our ever-growing COVID-19 zeitgeist.
- I added some very brief (potentially useful?) insight at the end of my vent about how vaccine development should focus more on KP.2 and KP.3's F456L mutation rather than the JN.1 strain.

i keep thinking i have filtered every possible thing to avoid picard spoilers and commentary, but my friends, y'all seem to be working very hard to post without spelling out even a single character's name
#is this how the vaccine scientists feel trying to keep up with omicron variants#how many acronyms for one show can there be!!!!#pretty sure star trek: pi was a typo but i'm now imagining magnum pi in space#i mean in the grand scheme of things it would not be bad for me to just avoid this website for a few days each week#if i really am committed to watching it fresh and can't do so right away

covid update my cough is basically entirely gone, all I really have left is a very sore throat (which is better than yesterday) and some mild congesion
#YIPPEEE#ive been doing some research and im pretty sure i have the omicron variant#and sources from doctors say that omicron + vaccination typically means symptoms will last for less than a week#i am so ready to not have this sore throat anymore im so tired of it#raaahhhh#i hope i feel better by my birthday on saturday#ill still be isolating but it would be nice to not be in pain on my birthday

Daily Comic Journal: December 20, 2021: "Gathering Information."
I’m sure this information isn’t a revelation. That the things you read on the internet, the divisive posts and comments, the harsh, insulting (nearly always anonymous) language are prevalent everywhere. The best thing to do is either avoid them completely, give them no credence, or if you’re going to read any of them, do so in small doses. Cause they can really get you down.

Antídoto
Las variantes de mi angustia se van rotando, hasta ahora identifiqué las siguientes:
Variante Alfa: Cuando alguna experiencia me resulta abrumadora, más grande que yo o que mis fuerzas para gestionar los acontecimientos, siento que me hundo rápidamente como si tuviera pesas en los tobillos, o lento como en pantano o arenas movedizas.
Variante Beta: Cuando siento que vivo sobredosis de experiencias, cuando no termina de pasarme una que ya me empieza a suceder otra, cuando lucho en varios frentes y no gano en ninguno, siento que voy a la deriva y al mismo tiempo muy (muy) rápido, sin saber a donde pero avanzando, y las cosas pasan y pasan y no paran de pasar, me golpeo contra todo, no me quedo con nada y solo me quedan cicatrices.
Variante Gamma: Cuando no veo ni presente ni futuro me siento estático, nada sucede, ni me hundo ni me muevo pero tampoco sé a dónde ir porque no veo ninguna dirección posible para tomar. Esta angustia se ve que se instaló, incubó, y dio a luz una nueva variante que desconocía:
Variante Ómicron: Cruce de caminos. También estoy estancado, estático, nada me sucede pero esto me pasa a pesar de mi intención de moverme, de mi fuerza para luchar y de mi energía para persistir, sin lograr el más mínimo resultado. Un día desperté y me vi en el cruce de todos los caminos, los del presente y los del futuro, se exactamente a donde lleva cada uno y lo que debo hacer, pero por más que lo intente no puedo tomar ninguno, una barrera ajena me impide avanzar. Llegan peregrinxs desde esos caminos, charlan conmigo, me piden indicaciones, se las doy, me agradecen muchísimo o me acusan de idiota o de sabio y siguen por el sendero que tomaron o por otro nuevo. Y yo clavado en el cruce de todos los caminos posibles, sin posibilidad alguna.
Lo que no me mata me angustia. Mis antídotos tienen nombre y apellido, desde mis amistades hasta el whisky que me tomo en el Clash. Otras cosas que matan mi angustia es el volumen de la música que escucho, mi adicción a los podcast, leer, escribir, y por supuesto sexo oral. Las llamo variantes angustia del orto te vas a la mierda.

It's summer in the U.S., and RSV and flu have come and gone. But, as ever, COVID-19 is different. Even though the pandemic may be behind us, SARS-CoV-2 is surging again in this country.

Here's what to know about the current spike in COVID-19:

"All of us wish this was behind us, but it’s not. Facing that fact this virus, in one version or another, will be with us for many years to come, rather than denialism and complacency, is critical."
This is a long article, but it contains what you want to know, if you want to know about BA.2.86
