that sounds like conjunctivitis and you should see a doctor about it if it's been more than a week like that

SplitSoul posted:Gimme the lowdown on the new bubble vax, I've been out of the loop for a long time. If you mean Novavax, European Medicines Agency have not approved the updated vaccine yet, so you can't get it. Otherwise and in a general sense, Pfizer, Moderna and Novavax have all been updated to target XBB.1.5. That's pretty much it, relative efficacy of the different ones, is not something we have meaningful data on, beyond results from the last batch of Novavax indicating a greater resilience towards new variants. There has been some testing showing that they produce antibodies against the current variants, including BA.2.86, but whether that will hold up against BA.2.86.* is imo much less certain.

The headline makes this seem more like a thing in this regard than it is. It is an SARS-CoV-2 antiviral and they demonstrated that people taking it during the acute phase recovered quicker.

OOP cost would've been ~$180 so now i have to wait to see if any of the CVS around me get the moth juice in.also i broke the rules and took my parents membership card with me and bought some multivitamins and san pellegrino at the self checkout.

My housemate and I are the most COVID-cautious people we know (we wear P100 or better filtration everywhere, don't have to leave home to work, don't go to restaurants, do our socialization online, etc.), and this thing's still so loving transmissible that there's the possibility of getting got because something went wrong. Get well soon. That loving sucks.

It was definitely ur apartment. Remember even in Delta times there was a report of someone picking it up by sharing the same hallway air for 10 seconds after like 15 minutes had passed. There are multiple stories of docs in ERs and stuff religiously wearing n95s and proper donning/doffing and they haven’t gotten it. Very unlikely you got it in a situation wearing a P100, especially those you described.

9 hours after getting mothed and absolutely zero side effects besides a very slightly sore arm that I'm not even sure I'd notice if I weren't looking out for it. Hopefully I don't wake up puking my guts out tomorrow morning!

My kids were able to get Moderna COVID boosters recently, including my under 5 year old. Pediatric booster availability has apparently been improving, at least in the NYC area. We went to the CVS minute clinic but Walgreens purported to have open slots for kids too. Not happy about the current pandemic situation but am grateful that at least my family could get the updated vaccines, even if they are already somewhat out-of-date. It's terrible that the boosters aren't an option for most people internationally.

My only exit opens straight outside into the yard. Double door so it should be a pretty good barrier. No ventilation system between or in units, besides leaky windows into the yard. A couple extra possibilities:

My wife and I got mothed earlier at Costco-- the pharmacist giving the shots said they were getting a lot of people coming in for it and asked where I'd heard about it. You ever try explaining a dying comedy forum to someone in thirty seconds? Not easy.

Wait I reread your OP - you never mentioned of the control line actually showed up? I've heard of the T and C lines showing up at the same time but are you sure it's a good test if T shows up well before?

Control line was good on both tests. Just isn't reached before the T line, and takes all 15 minutes to darken well.Woodsy Owl posted:Can you tell us more about your P100? Is it an elastomeric or a cup mask? Elastomeric. A 3M 7500 series with 7093 carts, new carts freshly opened last month. The silicone facepiece is a couple years old; I regularly disassemble and clean it with soap and water. Seal feels great, especially if I've been wearing it for long at all in which case skin moisture builds up and makes it hold a lot more pressure. I use the positive seal check every time i put it on and make sure it inflates and holds. If I'm heading into a building, I additionally do the negative check built into the cartridge boxes for sanity. If I go a long time and re-test I never seem to fail the check, even with other factors like the custom eye protection laying on the mask.

I used the 3m 7500 series early on and noticed I'd get leaks here and there, and dropped it for the secure click instead. now just using aura's, but anyways yeah i think it was a stealth leak. edit, inferis posted:you’re being a weirdo about it, the most likely way you got it was when you weren’t wearing the mask in your apartment, you even said your “apartment” was a shared single floor house Tzen has issued a correction as of 06:39 on Oct 18, 2023 |

SARS the first crossed two hundred metres of open air at sea level in the tropics to infect residents of a downwind highrise building. SARS the second blows its predecessor out of water in R‐naught and holds the record for the fastest‐spreading human pathogen in history. It’s an exceptionally talented virus, and it only has to get lucky once. You’ll never know how it got lucky, only that it did. Platystemon has issued a correction as of 07:09 on Oct 18, 2023 |

Yeah, you probably just got unlucky with a bumped seal or a gust of air coming in through your building envelope through a shared wall. We'll all get got like that eventually.

maxwellhill posted:Not a shared apartment. It's two apartments under one roof. If you've got a shared wall, you might have a shared plenum space or something like that, a shared wall that develops positive pressure on their side sometimes, etc. There's a million ways to get a little puff of virus air from one way to another on a million to one chance, and that's all it takes. It sucks, but trying to Sherlock Holmes it probably isn't going to get you anywhere. Going this long without getting it means whatever you're doing is working.
