So I just got my second jab, but I lost my bandage after taking off my shirt to check if the injection area was red or swelling. I am not bleeding or anything (It was about a half hour after I got the shot), and this is dumb, but I want to make sure I didn't screw myself and now I got Turbo COVID or something. Anyway, feeling okay so far.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah you are. Specifically this part: I get that you and others are posting actual situations and info about a pandemic where our general ignorance, wether by us or our so-called leaders, has made the situation worse (and is still making thing worse, for that matter). And I get that with the vaccine, infections are still going to happen, even if it is a net positive. But it does feel like this thread can be ruthlessly pessimistic at times. Don't get me wrong, ya'll do good work in the thread. I guess I am trying to decode how I feel about all this. I feel like I desperately want to believe that, on some level, no matter how small and slowly, things are getting better. Of course, there are A LOT of things where I wanted to believe that in the world in general, and eventually I came to the painful conclusion that "They aren't" for quite a few of them, so maybe COVID is a long line of that. EDIT: Anyway, first day after the second dose. Was sleepy but was fine after a nap. Arm feels even more sore than the first dose. Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 07:36 on May 15, 2021 |

It’s been two weeks since I got my second jab, and now I am at full vax power. Going to try to get an actual haircut this weekend. Still not sure about eating inside (or outside for that matter) a restaurant still.

Like pepper spraying someone who is mugging you would be a war crime if you were a uniformed service member in a war zone “War crimes” are specific things and most people don’t really understand them- there’s tons of stuff that’s illegal in war mostly because of WWI. It’s actually a really interesting legal area. This is kinda horrifying! Thanks!

My work requires me to go in 2 days out of the week. Today I just learned that someone in the building group had COVID, though they were not in my building specifically. I am trying to find out when we was in the area (I was in all day yesterday), and it is likely a long shot, but I was wondering if I should get myself tested asap or just try to stay quarantined and pay attention for symptoms.

I know it is the most milquetoast liberal thing to 'not sink to their level' and to be 'the bigger person', but it is so hard to see every smug anti-mask and/or anti-vaccine rear end in a top hat on twitter go "LOL you are all afraid of COVID Imma gonna live!" like that Matt Walsh tweet a few pages back (I really wish twitter blocks worked on linked tweets here) and not go "Okay, kindly die soon, and try not to take anyone with you".

I have to admit, there were a couple of times where I gave in to weakness and went out a couple of times. Even then I made sure to eat in an outdoor area, preferably in a corner away from other people. Quite frankly I do not know anymore if that would help.

I am still a month out from the 6 months needed from my second shot, but I am still wondering which booster I should get (Got Moderna originally). As an aside it feels weird to use me being a fatty as leverage for getting vaccinations asap.

WhiteHowler posted:Moderna seems best from a couple of pre-print studies of boosters. But that or Pfizer would be fine. I am trying to schedule an appointment for Rite Aid, but I am confused; Apparently they say that they are waiting on CDC authorization for booster doses, but apparently I could make an appointment for a third shot. And I thought that a booster dose was different than a third dose (and judging from what you are saying here I am right).

So I am going to Rite Aid on Monday for my Moderna booster, though my appointment still says "Dose 3". I asked about this and they said that the difference between if you are getting a full dose vs a booster dose is if you said that you were immunocompromised in the initial questionare, but quite frankly I am not entirely convinced that the people administering it will know the difference and there is the possibility I may have answered yes accidentally to it. I know I probably should not stress if I happen to get the full dose but I will ask them when I get there, to be sure.

Just got my booster. I actually forgot my vaccination card but I did have information that Rite Aid for my first shots as a QR code so I used that. Otherwise I had no trouble. Not currently feeling much. Maybe some aches and chills, but nothing big.

So when people are saying the spike proteins in Omicron would bypass the vaccine, would it still mean that the current vaccine is still good for preventing severe infection, if not infection itself? Or is there just not enough data to make a call either way currently?

Welp, I have had a cough for the past week that I don't feel good about, but all the covid testing sites are stacked, so I am simply quarantining. However, I did visit an optometrist office real quick to pick up a printout of a prescription, earlier in the week when I wrote it off as a seasonal cough and allergies. Should I let them know that I haven't been feeling well (For lack of a better term since I can't realistically get a covid test any time soon)?

Jestery posted:Yeah, I think this sort of thing is the difference between a containment and live-with approach Not sure how to parse this to be honest. I mean, it was stupid and selfish of me to go out, even if I did think it was just allergies at the time, but I do want to at least try to be responsible. On the other hand, it still could be just allergies or a cold, and I was only there for a few minutes, but I don't really have any way of determining that either way what with the way things are. This sucks

Well, after sitting out the first two weeks of the month from coming into work because I had a cough, the one day I come in happens to be the one where someone infected did come into the office Granted, I did not have close contact with the guy and for most of the time I was wearing my N95. I am not feeling symptoms yet, too. That said I think I will burn through a couple of my free tests to confirm if I can come in tomorrow or now (my workplace is slightly saner in that they only require us to come in half of the week.).

So I got the Moderna Vaxx plus the first booster. Now I just made my appointment for the bivalent booster. I went with a CVS that the vaccine.gov site said had the bivalent booster, though it doesn't say on the appointment itself that it is a booster or the bivalent one. Assuming it is (though I will ask when I get there) but it is kinda annoying,

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.

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.
