Re: COVID-19/new coronavirus thread

Sucks that I apparently missed out on the timeframe to stock up on at-home Covid tests. I ordered one off Walmart.com as it was drying up everywhere a few weeks ago. Now the only place you can find them is scalpers on eBay.

I tested negative Sunday, but have had a fever over 100 since Sunday without medicine. Achy, fever first. Then sinus, then the cough to end all coughs. Also get winded and wheezy on walks with my dogs. I am pretty sure it is RSV, because that is going around at daycare. All 3 of us are sick at home with it. But now today I feel nauseous with little to no appetite. Still have perfect smell and taste, so I think it's probably just RSV, but I wish I could just EASILY get tests without making a trip to urgent care with a $20 copay (but free test).

Fully vaxxed, just trying to be precautious. Staying at home for the most part.

    More children have been fatally shot in Chicago than have died of COVID in the entire state of Illinois this year.

    More children have been the victims of gun violence in Chicago this year than have died from COVID-19 across the entire country.

    Not anti-covid or anything, just some pretty shocking stats that I just saw.

    The closest all seem to be at stores in Tennessee. Can't remember where you were from.

    Have we set a goal post for any of this? The vaccine mandates, are they linked to any vaccine percentage? Case count? Hospitalizations? Will the mandate go away when these are reached or is this just something that is going to go in perpetuity?

    There have been no off-ramps set for any mandates/restrictions as far as I'm aware of.

    (1): everyone who wants a vaccine can get one

    (2) hospitals aren't overrun

    Those are my two goalposts. So if hospitals start to become overrun in an area again regardless of vaccine percentage we have a duty and obligation as Americans (in that area obviously, if things are overrun in Texas people in Oregon can still live normal) to restrict our behavior to assist with society. That just makes sense. It'd be the same if it were the flu or a hurricane or anything else.

    Yeah, see here's where your thought process is flawed. This is what being a team player looks like. We've seen that about 30-40% of our country refuses to be team players. It's because of them that we're still trying to determine goalposts for this situation. The ones who are fighting the pandemic the most are the ones who are fighting the solution the most.

    Gotta stick it to the Libs. The worse the pandemic is, the worse it is for Biden. Who cares about measly consequences like long covid or death.

    Pfizer booster shots are now available in MA to:

    People 65+

    People 18-64 at risk for severe COVID-19 due to certain underlying medical conditions as defined by the CDC.

    People 18-64 at increased risk for COVID-19 because of occupational or institutional settings.


    Is there a list of underlying medical conditions as defined by the CDC, for the booster?

    And I can get a flu shot at the same time!

    Does anyone know if there’s any difference between the first two shots and the booster? Or is it literally the exact same thing?

    Yup, 100% same as the first time around. The only change (soon to come) is the packaging. The vials used to this point have mostly been multi-dose. That’s caused a lot of wasted doses, because once the vial is opened/first used, you have a very limited window to use the rest of the doses. We’ve moved toward producing tons of single-dose vials to preserve doses. Way more efficient.

    i don't know if i will be pursuing my booster. i haven't seen enough evidence indicating that 64% efficacy isn't good enough (for me, who is otherwise healthy).

    Thanks! Been busy the last few days and haven’t been able to look anything up yet, I assume they are still recommending the booster around the 6 month mark?
