OT: Coronavirus XXXX: Variant & Vaccination Rates Are Climbing, Let's Get to Herd Immunity Baby!

[McChucky]

I got covid 4 months ago and I’m still getting tired easily. It’s slowly getting better though. I used to need to nap daily while I was recovering but now it’s down to once-twice a week. My cardio is completely gone so I’m trying to work that back up to normal also.

9 Months to 100% for me.

9 Months to 100% for me.

That’s crazy but at least you got back to normal. Last week was the first time my blood work, blood pressure and resting heart rate all came back normal.

Does Covid start and end at the Alberta boundary? Did the loosening of restrictions here cause a wave worldwide that's only going down because of tighter restrictions here? Didn't we have restrictions last summer into fall? If we did, what caused the second wave?

Do you always answer questions with questions?

Love that graph.

And that doesn’t include the many thousands who are registered to get theirs in the next week or so. Mine is Friday because I had to wait until I got back from work.

I can only imagine what it would have been like if the ball wasn’t dropped, booted, and crap on by the Feds and we had more vaccines sooner.

Yep, I thought I was going to feel like shit forever. Glad to hear you are doing well too. I had it at the beggining so it was a little sketchy. Getting my Vax right away. No way I want to deal with that again.

i didn’t even get a sore arm, so fortunate that way I guess.

Lol, you’d know if you did. It hurt like hell for two days.

 

[fuswald]

Anyone else getting their ass kicked by Pfizer's vaccine?

I've had barely any energy for ~42 hours now, arm is sore where I got it, my whole body is sore, and my neck is inflamed lol

Not sure if appropriate but

Me I had no side affects

I hope you're telling everybody you know about how difficult a road back its been. 1.5yrs in and so many still think Covid is nothing. Thanks for sharing the experiences here so readers get the first hand impression of survivors.

The whole Covid timeframe my whole thinking was to do anything to avoid contracting this.

 

[rboomercat90]

Love that graph.

Honestly, 50% right now is amazing considering how long we waited for a steady supply. That we’re there so quickly leads me to believe the overwhelming majority are getting it when they have the opportunity. Maybe this nonsense about Alberta being anti-vax can stop now.

Thanks for this. Is there a source for this that is readable. I checked the twitter link and I can't make out any of the regions clearly. I can't read any location on the bar graph.

He made his own chart using the Alberta website. You can click the geographic region of the map for the immunization percentage.

High Level having the lowest rate of vaccination is an amusing juxtaposition.

Thanks, this one is readable. The font on the others is ridiculously small and unclear. For future use how did you get the image and resize it? I tried but alas not very computer skilled.

Why would I answer a question with a question?


Haha, see what I did there? I answered a question with a question

I’m bored my son went to bed and my spouse is watching 90 day fiancée

This is connected to the pandemic, and its not.

Throughout the pandemic we have been alerted of the need to reduce hospital usage, ICU usage. We've had COE involved in many actions to reduce dangers on roads and to pedestrians and also to limit serious injuries requiring hospital attention.

In this same time of restrictions, advisories, crackdowns etc, and a youth on a hockey rink getting tasered, we have had ZERO crackdown on these escooter f***ing things that occupy are every sidewalk DT or in Old Strathcona to Univ.

The City just STARTING to crackdown after YEARS of complaints.

Surgeons, medical professionals, dentists etc have been alerting officials of the dangers of these things to any jurisdiction that will listen. Countless studies have been done on how much injuries these incur, hospital beds used etc for serious injuries riding these things, or being hit as a pedestrain by these things.

Yet the COE has allowed these things to be used throughout the pandemic.

I've avoided DT and Whyte Avenue area more and more now as the sidewalks are no longer safe. First with escooters, then the pandemic, and currently both being epidemic.

So the same cities that reduce speed limits for drivers, claim to want to reduce pedestrian and all traffic injuries have been ALLOWING escooters on city sidewalks for years. Deplorable consistency and mind numbing oversight.

Np on Google Chrome you can right click the image, and then select open image in new tab. That will give you the full resolution of the image.

I thought covid was a joke before I got it. I’m middle aged, healthy and in good shape. Workout 6 days a week and still compete in martial arts tournaments. I think if I wasn’t healthy then it could have been much worse for me. I was against the vaccine but with how my body reacted to getting covid I’m 100% pro vaccine now.

Phone Kenney and offer to do a commercial. . Seriously, stories like yours are the ones that need to be told to the disbelievers.
