india continues to keep growing in cases

ooph, this is seriously the most worrying news to me right now... out of all the extremely worrying poo poo going on. if they go into a full scale surge again, wow... natural immunity ain't worth poo poo

dude, i've been thinking about that. with the more detailed titer tracking from the booster studies, and the reports of people getting infected with covid 2 or 3 times. it really seems like after an immune response to a booster or infection, there's a limited window of increased antibodies that can prevent reinfection, and after some point (~4-6 months for normal immune systems?) that fades enough that the immune system can't respond well enough to prevent another infection. it could be that short term in-blood anitbody response mentioned in a study, but the immune system is way too loving complicated for me to offer more reasons to why this is happening.

if india gets slammed by delta again, then it means even if we could magically stop all covid from mutating, it would still be a permanent, reoccurring infection for anywhere that hasn't bubbled itself away from the rest of the world.

Woke up this morning feeling a little off, took a shower, and realized that my heart was racing. I checked, and I was rocking 120 bpm. My normal resting rate is 60-70.

All day it's been spiking with virtually any physical exertion. So I've spent most of today between 110 and 130bpm.

Concerned my extended fam will get the rug pulled out from under them if FDA pressures Biden intk a rollback on booster planning.

Por favor, can anyone confirm if I have the basics right for which pharma is laissez-faire and which is a bit more of a "Max Titers" situation?

I've been having heart rate spikes and chest tightness and my Moderna booster was a couple weeks ago, so it's been fun trying to figure if it's heart damage, acid reflux, or anxiety

Fortunately it's been lessening but at least if it's serious there will be plenty of hospital space for me

just had a conversation with one of my oldest friends I’m probably no longer friends with (or it will just fade away).

he has a prior heart condition, but is fully vaxxed. we haven’t talked in probably two months and while we had plans this summer to hang out with one other friend he bailed on them last second because he was too busy writing his first novel. I asked him about COVID protocols and he’s like (of course I’m wearing a mask it’s a state mandate.) I asked about his weekly basketball games and he replied “oh yeah, just played last night 7 on 7 outside no masks it was great broke some ankles”.

If I bring up anything about the world he’s clearly not interested. “The summers been great and the vibes are good.”



i just… sure. don’t want to be a mood killer.

For whoever was asking, I had a run in with a chud at the grocery store while wearing my respirator. He was talking to a couple about how covid was no big deal deal and his friend in Florida got it and checked into a hotel for three days while taking hydrowhateverthefuck. I had to walk between them and he did a double take and made some kind of "case in point" remark and scoffed.

Usually I'm terrified of confrontation but a year and a half of everyone thinking it's OK for vulnerable people to die has broken me in some fundamental manner. I turned around and loudly told him that I was Immunocompromised and I could die from the flu (he said "I hope you don't!) and that I had no idea if the vaccine worked for me, and that he could keep doing whatever he wanted but to not judge other people for being careful. All three looked pretty abashed (even lowered their eyes to the floor) when I told them Florida was running out of oxygen and might have to boil their water.

I left them and kept shopping with no further incident. Normally I get really neurotic and keep replaying stuff in my head but I felt pretty good about blowing up at someone lol. I'm not a loving statistic I'm a goddamn human being and I'm not going to let some assholes laugh at me because he doesn't give a gently caress about the Immunocompromised or otherwise vulnerable people in this world.

Like maybe don't gently caress with the guy who's comfortable wearing a respirator in public.

Remember, they purposely are mis-testing leading to a greater number of false-negatives, they are supposed to amplify viral replication by 4x but they changed it to 3x because of conservatives in the news wanting more negative tests for positive cases.

I was wearing a full face in Costco in CA. There was a huge guy there who was wearing a mask but looked really really annoyed to see me, like I was someone who bugs him every day and he's had enough of my poo poo, that kind of look. There was a middle aged lady who caught my eye and gave me a double thumbs up. There were a LOT of people who conspicuously walked around me like I was going to make them sick.
