It's not necessarily 70% vaccinated to reach 'herd immunity.' Its % vaccinated + % infected and recovered.

Got Pfizer for my second shot, had AZ first. It was only an hour ago and I'm already starting to feel like crap. Maybe if I get really bad again by morning I can convince my husband to take a sick day and baby me, otherwise I'm going to be alone for like 10 hours. Last time I at least had someone in the house with me while I languished from fever and aches. Speaking of, I once had a really brutal fever, completely woozy and unable to function. Didn't manage to take my temperature because I was in a total daze. A couple days later I felt pretty great comparatively but not 100% right, so I took my temp then and it was 102. I wish I knew how bad it actually got.

In CA at least a spouse can take a COVID sick day to take care of a spouse. That should be a nation wide thing tbh

A Fancy Hat posted:I went grocery shopping on Friday and I'd say it was 60% masked, 40% unmasked. Most of the employees were, but definitely saw a few who weren't. This wouldn't bother me as much except you know 100% that at least a healthy portion of unmasked people are also unvaccinated. I'd be more worried about the unhealthy portion.

Last time I at least had someone in the house with me while I languished from fever and aches. The time I hit 106 I felt surprisingly okay - I mean, I knew I had a fever, but I have felt way worse with lower temperatures. I went to the emergency room for that one, and they put me on a saline drip and covered me in damp towels and pointed fans at me to bring my body temperature down. It sucked. After a few hours my temperature came down and the ER doc said that he'd usually admit me for observation for a fever that high but I seemed pretty okay so he discharged me - for whatever reason I tolerated a dangerously high fever well, which has made me pay more attention and break out the thermometer more readily since then. I don't like the idea I could just feel a bit crappy while my brain cooks itself.

There's something peculiar about very high fevers. My one experience with a 106F fever was that I felt exhausted, but actually less terrible than when I'd been at 103-104, and actually thought I had passed the worst of it and was on the mend right up until an Urgent Care doc told me I needed to go to the ER right now. This lines up with a number of anecdotal accounts I've heard from people whose fevers hit those extreme marks: it's as if, once the fever gets high enough, it exceeds the body's threshold for processing how bad the fever is.

The coronavirus fever was so loving weird for me. It hit super hard and fast but would be gone in the morning, only to ramp back up to 103.5 at like 10-11 am. I could tell where my fever was by symptoms, too.

67% in Oregon for adults, I assume that's the first-dose number. I've been fully vaccinated for 9 days. People are still doing a good job masking and being considerate most of the time in my area. Not sure about the red counties. I heard Lakeview is a shitshow but who wants to go there anyway?

There's a TV/radio news/sports/talk group around me that all broadcast from the same studios and share facilities, on the way home the drive time sports guy opened the show saying he was going solo, and might sound a little rough, because his co-host was sick, his backup co-host was sick, and his backup to the backup co-host was sick. He'd have asked the guy from the news station to co-host, but they were sick as well. He was feeling good enough to do the show tonight, "but we might have someone else here tomorrow night." According to him, everyone seems to have a "pretty strong cold that's going around." In Florida, in June, just after the the CDC said "no masks we good." makes u wonder

It's the central metro area for a big swath of Eastern Oregon, so of course it is terrible. I remember they had ancient moccasins and a Safeway, and we stocked up on beer there before going to a friend's cabin. Hart Mountain is cool, and a lot of the country around there is beautiful (the closed-loop lakes are cool), but the people are not.

I could tell where my fever was by symptoms, too. I used to get really bad lung infections after catching colds, I'd be sick for weeks. They were always the same. Felt fine after sleep, then being active would utterly destroy me and I'd be so so so sick and fevery in the afternoons. Then the next morning I'd be like "maybe I'm finally getting better?" Lmao NOPE.

gohuskies posted:My city can: Mayor: Seattle 1st major city to fully vaccinate 70% Seattle isn't 70% fully vaxxed. The eligible portion of Seattle's population may be 70% fully vaxxed but kids under 12 are still completely unvaxxed. (Kids also have lungs) quote:Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said Wednesday that 70% of city residents ages 12 and up have been fully vaccinated, which she said makes Seattle the first major U.S. city to hit the COVID-19 milestone. But that 70% goal was pretty much just an arbitrary number anyway since it's not possible to have population centres reach herd immunity if they're still open to all the under-vaxxed populations surrounding them. In any case the new variants probably pushed the requirement up to 80%. I'm pretty sure that the 70% 12-and-up vaxxed yardstick for opening up was only ever just a carrot to entice vax hesitant people to bite the bullet and get the jab, it's actually a great way to shift the blame for the restrictions onto anti-vaxxers and get small business owners and everyone else invested in opening up to put all their energy towards shaming them instead of yelling at the city governors. 70% of ages 12+ is a great achievement and it'll push hospitalizations and deaths way down but covid will still be chugging merrily along and if you had kids under 12 you're pretty much poo poo out of luck, no one else cares any more.

I think I am safer but perhaps some people might think that my risk is still super high despite my own and my community's vaccination. LOL that people's immediate reactions to that post of mine "Yes but I'm safe, so ....???" You're almost certainly much safer than you were 6 months ago but there's still a significant percentage of the population who are still very susceptible Edit: The CDC's current recommendation for covid-19 prevention strategies in K-12 schools puts the lowest threshold at 0-9 cases per 100,000 persons per week. My quick back of the envelope shows that Washington's per capita rate these last 7 days were 50 cases/100k which means they're still in the "substantial" transmission threshold, but only just. Arizona's per capita rate these last 7 days were 40 cases/100k which would put them in the high end of the "moderate" threshold (which doesn't actually mean much, the requirement there is pretty much just that kids wear masks, stay 3' distance during class and 6' distance during sports)  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/operation-strategy.html Snowglobe of Doom fucked around with this message at 05:52 on Jun 15, 2021 |

With hypothermia you start feeling all warm and fuzzy right before things really fall apart. I think you're pretty much right, that you're so hosed up you can no longer tell how hosed up you are.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Oooh you just jinxed yourself Probably. I am in Alberta. My immune system is ridiculous and just freaks out when I get shots. I'm now a number of hours into my Pfizer shot and it's like it took my regular pain levels and amplified them. Chronic pain places have gone up a ton, and everywhere that doesn't normally hurt now does. I've been woozy and dizzy all evening, my brain feels like Jello. Hard to move. I'm just starting to feel feverish now. I can't math. I got it at 4:30pm and its now 1 am. Whatever that is. The arm soreness is much worse with this one than AZ, but it might just be my stupid body overreacting to that too just like it does to loving everything. Maybe since it started sooner than AZ, it will be over sooner too. Here's hoping I guess.
