Snowglobe of Doom posted:The CDC director did an interview the other day where she pointed out that 75% of people who have died from covid had "at least four comorbidities, so really these are people who were unwell to begin with, and yes really encouraging news" which did NOT go over well with a certain section of the community Of course, right wing media took it for a spin. If you have the same talking points as Trump Jr. you may need to reevaluate your media literacy.

Sure, we’re ghouls and monsters, let’s just say that’s true if that’ll make you happy. Anyway, for anyone else interested, I’ll post her full quote here for context: “You know really important study if I may just summarize it. A study of 1.2 million people who were vaccinated between December and October and demonstrated that severe disease occurred in about 0.015% of the people who received their primary series and death in 0.003% of those people. The overwhelming number of deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities. So really these are people who were unwell to begin with. And yes, really encouraging news in the context of Omicron.” Link to research: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/pdfs/mm7101a4-H.pdf The study’s about two-dose vaccined people so the actual numbers should be a lot better for boosted folks.

So they might as well use KN95s or KF94s where it’s much easier to wear.

Prior to Omnicron the latest research was that vaccines protect you from catching or spreading only for about three months. Afterwards you catch and spread at roughly the same level as the unvaccinated. Of course they obviously keep you alive better, but if we’re talking about infectiousness, that was the research.

A vaccine does reduce your chance of contracting COVID in the first few months. That specific effect drops sharply after a while, of course, but it’s not accurate to say vaccines don’t protect you from COVID transmission.

Aren’t the pox vaccines in very short supply? Unless you’re immunocompromised or are around such people I wonder if it’s better to save it for higher-risk populations — for now, at least.

I woke up with a stiff neck earlier this week and then took the Moderna bivalent booster. My body hurts in so many ways. I can’t move.

yook posted:I’ve been trying to schedule a booster with my hospital and all the appointments get fully booked within a few hrs of being available, so I’m not sure I even believe that the crappy uptake is due to people not wanting them. I thought I’d get my pick of time slots for this week at one location that had a bunch, but then a day later the earliest available appointment was November 28. I wound up finding something next week by bouncing between some farther locations until I found something because I definitely wanted to get it more than 2 weeks before thanksgiving.

My partner has been testing positive for multiple days on one brand of ART — it’s a very faint line, though. She tests negative on three other brands of ARTs and one PCR test administered at a test site. I’ve been telling her this means she’s positive since false negatives are much more likely than false positives. She’s getting a bit frustrated at that interpretation. We’ve been masking at home because I somehow remain negative on all of my tests. How should we read this situation?

She had a cough for a while but she’s asymptomatic now. The positive tests started last Sunday, so it’s been five days. She did just take a PCR test yesterday and it came out negative. Which is why she’s frustrated — because it’s only that one brand of ART that’s consistently throwing up a positive, while everything else reads negative. I agree that this should be assumed as a positive diagnosis but just wanted to understand whether there’s anything I’m missing.

A while back I posted that my wife got one positive ARTs and then three negative ARTs and one negative PCR. It left us very confused. Recently it happened again. One positive ART and three negative ARTs. It's wild how these things vary. I wonder if it's just something about her because it doesn't happen to me at all.

If your sinuses are totally irritated and fully congested a neti pot will only make your symptoms worse because the liquid just gets stuck up there. It needs some opening. That said if you do it I don’t think it’s gonna destroy your brain or anything.

I got the pfizer and the flu shot, same arm. 1. The flu shot was, like, way more painful. I don’t know if they’re using a different needle. I could also hear bubbles in the syringe as the plunger was pushed, which was weird. 2. Despite the covid shot being painless, it left my arm all bloody under the bandaid. I thought it was really weird. 3. Side effects are a very sore arm, serious lethargy and general weakness even two days after the jab. My leg drat near caved in when I was tying my shoes. And I had to take naps throughout the day. My history is two pfizers and two modernas before this. I don’t even keep up with which is the better brand anymore. We’re pretty glad we managed to get the shot long before an upcoming vacation. It would suuuuuuck to feel this lethargy during a vacation.

I just tested positive for the first time. This follows days of diarrhea and a growing bout of cough. Now I have a sore throat and general tiredness. I did take the latest booster months ago. Mostly I feel guilt because even as I wore PPE on subways and public spaces, I was obviously in close contact with family and friends. It’s frustrating to think I might have exposed those closest to me.

We’re at the stage of the pandemic where I think (a) the virus is wildly transmissible but only very occasionally serious, even for the unvaxxed and unboosted and (b) very few people are taking serious precautions anymore. When I got covid a few weeks ago I got the mildest responses from everyone. These are the same people who freaked out during core pandemic. I know someone who cooked a christmas dinner for their family while testing positive (albeit wearing a mask, I guess).

I recovered from COVID about three weeks ago. I have to say it’s continued to suck. I’m having the dreaded long covid cough. I can’t make it through more than a few sentences without a sputter of cough. It’s messed with my brain because I can’t talk properly to people and I can’t eat a whole lot of stuff, since they worsen the cough. I’ve taken four different cough medications with no improvement. I feel lucky that I didn’t, like, have to go to the hospital but this is still sucky.

Follow up on long covid. About a month since recovery as a fully vaxxed person. The insane coughing has gotten better, but I’ve still got no appetite. I’m at 30 to 50% of my usual intake. It reaaaaally sucks when you’re on a drat vacation. And then of course I got poisoned by the little food I ate so I’ve literally had zero calories today.
