Got my booster aaaaaand forgot that the shot made my periods an unpredictable disaster for a month or two. Glad we’ve acknowledged that it does happen now though.

I had to go to Urgent Care last night due to managing to injure my big toe to the point part of the nail needed to be removed, and once again was wearing a better mask than anyone else in the building, including the medical staff. It just strikes me as weird to see how many people are making do with procedure masks when a good N95 is not hard to get anymore.

Spinz posted:Good luck goon, hopefully it's mild and goes away fast Much appreciated! The good news is the worst of it was the first couple of days, even if they did knock me on my rear end, and I am feeling much better now. The bad news is that my covid tests are still coming up positive so thats another week in isolation  Still could have been worse though!

At the pharmacy to get my booster, mask on because I do not enter enclosed spaces with other people without one. Sitting in one of two chairs for the 15 min post wait. Dude rocks up the counter, no mask, “hi, I’m here for a PCR Covid test.” “Have a seat over there, we’ll be right with you.” Fucks. Sake.

This is why I don't do the wait inside anymore, just gimme the jab and I'm out. I'll go sit in my car for 10-15 minutes, thank you. Had a good COVID-related dark chuckle today. A dear friend who I haven't seen since before the pandemic put me back on his list of people to text whenever he's going to hold a Magic night, in an attempt to lure me back into socializing with that group. I've told him gently but repeatedly that he and his wife live in a highly social way that makes them unsafe for me to be around, since I'm in frequent contact with vulnerable people I could transmit COVID to and am in a vulnerable category myself, but it doesn't seem to sink in. The first "pls come play magic" text went out on Monday. This morning we get a follow-up cancelling the event, because their entire house has COVID for the fourth or fifth time.

They didn't even ask me to wait on either of my last two boosters. I tried novavax for my latest one and it had no side effects at all which was neat.

I now have a routine of getting my shots and going to the bubble tea place next door. I usually see someone else who just got a shot there with me. Unless you really need the hand written record, hit da bricks.

The wait was just to see if you had an allergic reaction and you would think you would know at this point.

Dudes at work saying they got the flu after getting the flu shot, and have gotten Covid after the first (and their last) vaccine, so clearly medicine doesn't work.

Apparently, most people test negative for Covid 10 days after their initial positive test. Unfortunately, I appear not to be most people because I am still testing positive on day 10, albeit with an extremely faint line for what it is worth, and these are the antigen tests. I do not know if that makes me needlessly paranoid or not. Still, I will be isolating some more for the weekend. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't annoyed as heck but I do not want to give this to anyone if I still have a chance to.

Yeah it's just rumours atm, and apparently the CDC isn't even going to announce anything until April: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/13/covid-new-cdc-isolation-guidelines-symptoms Meanwhile here in Australia the federal government has left all that stuff up to the individual states and NSW, which generates roughly a third of the cases in the entire country, dropped the 5 day isolation recommendation back in October 2022 lol

Ironically, this was my best shot so far. No pain from the needle, no side effects or even soreness in my arm. Probably a placebo by this point.

Funny, I got Novavax this time around. Every mRNA version after the very first shot had me develop a fairly intense reaction (sandbagged in bed for a whole day). The Novavax was on par with the flu shot (i.e. at worst a sore arm).

When my wife and I caught it in December, she tested positive for around three weeks and is just now feeling back to normal. The disease affects people differently, so the whole five or ten day rule of thumb seems not especially helpful (except for getting people back to work as soon as possible i guess)

The 5 or10 day rule was always a compromise, so a significant number of people who isolated for 10 days would have passed beyond the acute phase of their infection but there was always going to be a percentage who were still actively infectious and the CDC thought that was an acceptable number measured against everything else. From memory something like 5% of cases were still testing positive 21 or more days after their symptoms first appeared, but of course that was 4 years ago in the very early days of the pandemic before most of the bigly mutated variants we've seen since and when most of the population hadn't been infected or vaxxed and were immunologically naive. I have no idea what the breakdown of percentages might be currently.

I am finally over COVID, and I was going to finally get my updated Vax soon, but then I see there is a recommendation that you wait 3 months after recovery before getting the new vax? Is there a reason for this? Best I can find is a claim that it is to maximize the immunity time; Basically, you wait until the immunity you get from fighting it off wears off a bit then you get your Vax which would maximize the time you have the antibodies in your system. This feels a bit suspect though.

The point of the vaccine is to top up your antibodies but if you just finished fighting off covid you're going to be overflowing with antibodies already

The stated rationale has always been that you’re at low risk for ninety days, so why waste an ostensibly rare resource? As you say, it is a bit suspect in 2024. You’ll also see some recommendations by doctors here and thehre to wait for any possible lingering inflammation to go down, but the waiting period they give for that is shorter, one or sometimes two months.
