Last night I was chatting online with a friend, and learned they had just come down with Shingles. I think it is Chicken Pox’s older cousin, a part of the Cooties family. Chatting through Microsoft Communicator, not through a browser, on my work laptop.
Today, I go upstairs to check the scores on my personal PC, open up Chrome, and am blasted with “Now’s the time, before it’s too late, to get your Shingles’ shot” sidebar adds. ![]()
Within 12 hours of communicating on a separate computer, separate chat program, about a friend’s cooties, I have been targeted with adds. Apparently, Shingles is more contagious than one may initially assume, given the rate it seems to spread online.
