The dissolution of microbial chance

b1-66er: 16:00
Just in from shots¹ & lunch. 
First time in 3 years where it didn't seem like pandemic anymore.
¹i could get jabs for flu & RSV, but not COVID (there's a localized shortage on that one).
My RSV was free under my insurance. The Accomplice's wanted US$300.

b1-67er: Weird. I went to doc the other day, passed on the flu vaccine this time. Will probably start getting it in a few years when my risk is up more.
$300 seems steep, doesn't it?

66: It seems outrageous for an illness that's considered epidemic (and is being warned by the CDC).

Special K: $300 seems criminal. America!

66: Before we went, I figured my drop/take on that jab was US$150...
... And was trying to figure out how I would feel about being hospitalized for passing at $162.50.
(That's backgammon logic, RIGHT THERE.)

Dr. ENT: I got my flu shot, but haven't gotten Covid or RSV yet. Probably should.

Lawrencian: Wow, that's crazy expensive
