The two shots are the same, the fact you already have some immunity from the first shot is what causes the stronger reaction to the second one.

I suppose there's no real way of knowing, but does a bad reaction (by which I mean, 'feeling like utter rear end') to the vaccine mean that you'd probably have been a 'bad case of covid' kind of person, or is it utterly unrelated?

This might be considered hyper-local, so feel free to ignore it, but Pennsylvania loosened requirements for getting the vaccine. I think the actual vaccines are still scarce, but at least you don't need to be in healthcare to get one anymore. Most notably, if you're a senior, live in a nursing/care facility of some sort, OR have one of various pre-existing conditions, you can now get one. https://www.pa.gov/guides/get-vaccinated/

Mozi posted:remember months ago when there was a haircutter with covid who wore a mask and none of their dozens of customers got sick? when proper precautions are taken the risk is very low. and if it helps somebody stay sane, then it's totally fine. people need to know which activities are actually risky so they can make proper decisions. people here would think it would be madness to be in close contact with covid patients every day yet many healthcare workers (and other essential workers) have been doing that all year and, with proper precautions taken, avoided infection. yes i personally have not had a haircut and only go out for groceries, but i'm not going to begrudge somebody for doing a low-risk activity. not like he was at a christmas party or eating in a restaurant or something. This is a nonsensical comparison, though? Like OP mentioned, you can't wear a face shield and a mask the whole time that you're getting a haircut, but a doctor can do both of those things while treating patients. And do you suppose that being a doctor is not really at all like getting a haircut, in any respect? On the scale of "risky activities that are also important", eating at a restaurant and getting a haircut are on one end of the scale and being a doctor is on like the exact opposite end

I held my mask over my mouth while he took the elastic off and put it back on. It is entirely possible to wear a mask the whole time. You might have to take your face shield off but as I understand it the barber's mask provides enough protection to you that it can be done in a safe fashion provided you hold your mask over your mouth while it is unhooked. I wouldn't encourage anyone to just go like normal. My wife actually cuts my hair. But it is entirely possible to receive a haircut and wear your mask the entire time if you're willing to be creative.

Not surprised though, we were honestly not filling the slots with healthcare workers. A lot (a worrying amount) declined, and a lot got it at the major hospital's vaccination events.. This whole thing is taking years off my life, the communication has been so bad at every step of the way and it's such an enormous pain in the rear end to schedule--it's a 10 dose bottle, so you need blocks of 10 patients. What happens when someone doesn't show up? (someone *always* doesn't show up) You either waste a dose (it expires in 6 hours once it leaves the fridge) or you just grab who ever is closest to being eligible and pray no one ever audits us on it.

In the first thousand days of the "When did we beat Japan at anything?" Donald "Did you notice that baby was crying through half of the speech and I didn’t get angry?" Trump administration, there were zero American Covid 19 fatalities, in the first day of the Biden administration, there were over four thousand. So by rough math, if Biden serves his full term, every American will have died at least three times and our rotting zombie husks will be reduced to mere skeletons and we'll be playing the xylophone on our ribs and we won't make any puns that aren't very humerus.   Edit: god help us all.

I would move heaven and goddamn earth to get a vaccine right now but I probably won't be eligible until the Summer at the earliest and yet scumbags are cancelling appointments for their shots. It could literally be an appointment to take out something that would kill you the next day and someone would cancel it, trust me. Actually, one of our biggest issues right now is that with telehealth not as many people no-show and our providers are too slammed because all their patients actually show up. That's also why insurance is starting to get testy about covering it (we are all holding our breath for the day they stop/make people do it through their own tele-doc system and we will have to see most folks in-office again) Anyway. Please be patient as no one really has the infrastructure on how to distribute this and the government gave us 0 information or ETA on when we'd receive them so we sort of assumed it would be a while and then...presto 200 doses just showed up and Oh gently caress we need to figure out how to 1) figure out who is our patient and eligible and 2) actually get in contact/schedule/mark as 'declined'

Probably the opposite - your body is putting up a robust defence against the "infection", which is what causes the aches, pains and listlessness. Your body is telling you "Something's up, and I need you to go lay down somewhere so I can sort this poo poo out". If you'd actually caught covid, you might have *felt* worse in the early stage of an infection than someone who doesn't have as strong a reaction but it's less likely the virus would eat your lungs because your body was fighting it much harder. You might be thinking of the 1918 flu pandemic where a lot of young and healthy people got zapped because something about that particular virus had a tendency to cause a massive over-reaction by the immune system, and it was this over-reaction rather than the virus itself that killed you - younger, fitter people with healthy immune systems therefore had much stronger reactions and so were more likely to die than from a normal infection, effectively killed by their own immune system rather than the virus itself, whereas older people didn't put up as much of a fight so their chances were better. All of this is of course a massive oversimplification and: Scarodactyl posted:Nobody knows, but my guess is probably not because nothing in immunokogy is simple. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Jan 21, 2021 |

HugeGrossBurrito posted:It’s a hell of a lot better than my school systems plan of let’s go back now everything is fine Not to bum you out but my wife, child and I all got COVID last week (99% sure from school). We're both teachers with limited class sizes and staggered schedules. Right before getting COVID the school board rushed to vote returning face to face full classes as "there's no evidence of community spread in schools." There appears to currently be a pretty good size outbreak happening at the school that we were informed of a week after we got symptoms. Administration has told us that it only happened because staff isn't following all the guidelines. My quarantine ends next week and lines up with the return to full classes so I guess I don't have to worry about getting COVID from school anymore...

Some of our schools opened back up at 30% (different groups of kids on different days) on some days, virtual on others. Social distancing, masks at all times, kids in individual cubicles, lunch served in classrooms, no changing classes, and the pullouts (art, music, etc) are in the classrooms. Want to guess what happened/is happening? Lots of sick teachers, teacher quitting, no substitutes, sick kids and families, etc. Wife got her second dose yesterday. Woke up this morning feeling fine.

There was an article sometime last year in the NYT - maybe the summer? - saying that the risk to kids is very slim and outweighed the risk of kids falling behind with remote learning. Like many articles published about covid it was probably based on a flawed study funded by a partisan group. As far as I know the risk to kids is fairly low compared to other groups, but yeah, it seems likely that they can spread it.

Kids who get covid can wind up with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, "a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs." Seemingly random side effect. Feel free to share that information with anyone who thinks their kid is bulletproof. I'll refrain from looking for the warning posts from specific parents, but they're out there.
