105% of the population infected in ~12 months may seem high, but I suspect it is an underestimation. Namely because of 1) school infections never being captured while being consecutive super spreader events and 2) not everyone seroconverts. That their data aligns with blood donors imho therefore underlines the under count, though I am positive public health officials would call it proof that it is right on the money.

Platystemon posted:That cant be true. I was pretty pissed when the Danish COVID dashboard was updated to include reinfections (purple) and second+ (cyan) reinfections and I noticed that our first first reinfection happened week 21, 2020 and our first re-reinfection occurred in week 35 2020:  And while yeah, it wasn't a large percentage of the total cases, it certainly demonstrated that reinfections and re-reinfections were not only possible, but happened to an alarming degree considering the requirements to qualify (90 days between positives or genetically sequenced tests showing it wasn't the same). Considering the data we had to work with at the time (remember the enthusiast trackers through 2020 noting tens of reinfections?), I would be lying if I said it doesn't feel like we were deliberately kept in the dark.

Updated Moderna and Pfizer monovalent Omicron XBB.1.5 shots finally approved in Australia https://nitter.net/dbRaevn/status/1726502867652214903#m Edit: the latest Victorian covid19 surveillance report shows that the samples that have recently been sequenced are almost all XBB sublineages (as of October 16-26) with HK.3 really starting to dominate. BA.2.86/Pirola has been detected but apparently in levels so low it doesn't even make it onto the chart:

finally got tagged. My wife was the first to test hot and she wore an n95 indoors in common spaces w/ filters running, but two nights ago I was comforting one of the kids in bed and she just hacked in my face a bunch for hours and i was too tired and possibly already getting sick to go find a mask, ah well. Wife is just riding it out; I have a sesamehealth appt in 10 mins to try to get pax I've been sick a lot 2021-present, nothing has kicked my rear end like this. 104.1F fever through ibuprofin at one point.

Some days I'm fine. Heart rate 65, normal blood pressure. Other days I'll be tired and have a resting heart rate of 110, BP of 140/100 and discomfort in my chest for no reason. Then fine again a few days later. Never any pain in my left arm or just left side of chest. I've been to a cardiologist who did an EKG and stress test and didn't find anything. Could be covid, could be stress, could be a blockage. I'm rambling here but if you're comfortable could you describe in more detail what made you realize you were having a problem?

So I have a weird effect from COVID that I haven't heard of yet in the past three years. All of my nerve sensations are overexaggerated. The way your body signals what is happening, and how you should respond, are over-the-top. For instance, touching something warm feels extremely hot. And touching something cold feels like handling dry ice. The urge to pee, that signal jumps right to "you're about to pee your pants" despite not actually having an accident. Pain is amplified. My back is sore from sleeping on the couch, but it feels like I was on a rack all weekend. I'm hearing low sounds in songs I've heard a million times that I've never noticed before. There was a few more examples that made me realize what was going on, but they really seemed to kick in Sunday (tested positive Thursday). But it is all signals, happens immediately but then fades away to a normal response. Never really got sick in the sense that I didn't have a cough, persistent congestion, or fever. But I am very hoarse. The throat got that raw feeling that I would always attribute to colds, this happened by Saturday. Initially, I had body aches and chills, but those waned by late Friday night, early Saturday morning. It was easy to notice because I could feel it in my hands/knuckles.

I get weird fatigue in muscles and I can't... like if I'm not moving my foot, it's just laid out in a place, it will rapidly get sore just because it is being acted upon by the couch or whatever and even the force of the weight of my leg is enough to cause strains. sitting in a non ideal position? fuckin forget about it, as soon as I get up whatever weird part of my rear end or back is donezo. it's like the... response? of my musculoskeletal system to negative stimuli has been bifurcated to either "totally fine" or "holy poo poo the worst"

Scene, me waiting to pick stuff at Walgreens, overhearing a guyquote:Asthma. Yeah when I get covid I get it really bad. Indistinct conversation quote:Yeah post covid I just thought I had a cough but I almost died. They had to give me a steroid. Its hard to tell the difference between the catastrophic health messaging and American death drive sometimes.

Like, safe to not worry about infecting others? 2 weeks. As far as, "ok I probably got lucky", a week. If you start feeling sick, just assume you got got and act accordingly.

Other days I'll be tired and have a resting heart rate of 110, BP of 140/100 and discomfort in my chest for no reason. Then fine again a few days later. I started having low level discomfort in my heart just doing stuff like walking up an incline. Even getting up to pee at night. I've always been a big walker (5km per day) and usually have no problem with stairs etc so I knew something was wrong. Since the pain was in my heart and I have family history I went to my GP. He did an ECG and blood test and they both came back fine so he assumed it was some less serious muscular skeletal thing. But I could tell it was serious so I booked another appointment with a second GP last Friday. He told me to go to the hospital if I was so concerned. He gave me a big write up to show them. So I did on Saturday morning, expecting to go home a few hours later. They did another blood test that tested for a chemical that releases after you have a heart attack, and I tested positive. Not sure why my GP didn't ask for that. Bit annoyed by him tbh. Then they wouldn't let me go home. I was transferred to the cardio ward. Had an angiogram and got even worse news that all three parts of the heart are blocked and an angioplasty would maybe give me 10 more years. So I opted for triple bypass surgery instead, and that should happen by Friday. So glad I'm not still in Canada as I'd still be waiting weeks for the first GP appointment. And in the US I would have just died due to it not being major pain and not being able to afford to check or take time off work.

I've had a stress test at a cardiologist, apparently no blockages. My pet theory since the problem comes and goes, is that my vessels are sometimes constricted and not dilating properly. Maybe from a round of covid that killed my mother and laid me down for a solid month. Maybe just too much cortisol from all the (gestures around at everything).
