OT: Covid-19 (Part 42) All Night Long

[River Meadow]

You shouldn't have an opinion about any of this mate. You're not a doctor, not a researcher, probably can't spell what Tylenol actually is without looking it up like most people, have extremely limited knowledge about medicine...yet you come up with this theory on your own. Follow what public health advises, take whatever is given to you from them, and that's it.

You're absolute right, how foolish of me.

I will obey and not have any thoughts of my own, I promise.

 

[River Meadow]

If the health professionals give appropriate treatment, you are supposed to survive the blood clot caused by AZ. This case is on the health professional that didn't treat her.

True. That's a very important point.

Feel so bad for her.. can't even imagine that pain.

That’s not what he said, be smarter than that

we are living a world pandemic and elite people on their field are giving advice

yet monsieur madame tout le monde think they know better just because

He said I should not have an opinion. Please tell me what else I missed?

Apparently others agree with not doling out AZ. But the Canadian health officials are the end all be all, more knowledgeable than anyone else including other nations and we should not even begin to question any of their decisions at all. I foolishly forgot that our Canadian officials and doctors are the best in the world, and should not be questioned in the least, my bad.

I don't see a lot of scientists saying AZ should not be taken.

Politicians however...

Fair, but our own NACI did state mRNA is the gold standard for COVID vaccines.

 

[SOLR]

In Quebec when you book you have a solid date from my experience. Fits with what I heard of the whole Ontario fiasco.

Ontario has 2 systems, one exactly like Quebec and then the pharmacies.

They also didn't say AZ was bad.

 

[PhysicX]

I guess this is as good of a place as any to write about health...

I woke up at around 4:40 this morning, puffy eyes (slept over 6 hours, so not bad) and with a need to urinate. I forgot to go to the bathroom before falling asleep. As I walk to the bathroom, I can hardly see due to the puffiness of my eyes. From my point of view, feels like I'm twice my usual height. I fix my vision by playing with my eyelids, urinate and I feel my heart pounding through my chest as my stomach is making these loud churning noises. I stare at my face a second time through the mirror, and realize the puffiness under my eyelids subsided. I blow my nose and blood shoots everywhere from my right nostril. I spray blood all over the sink, even on the back wall. I start panicking, clean the wall and sink, clog my nose with a tissue, and walk back to my room. I feel a small headache, but god damn my heart is hammer-punching my chest and it feels as though I'm about to lose the battle. A familiar sense of doom engulfs me. Battle? Yeah.. I'm losing alright. But, against what or whom am I fighting really? I reach out for my phone and attempt to calculate my heart rate, timer already set to 30 seconds from previous verifications throughout the years. My first and second attempts are unsuccessful, as I can't focus on my neck pulse, thoughts coming and going sporadically. 56-57-58-59-60... the sound of the timer alarm dimly goes. Alright 120 bpm resting rate. Could be worse...

Long story short, I spoke with a nurse, describing my symptoms and feelings. I tested my sugar level a few days prior (thanks to my dad) and blood pressure this morning and the readings were right where they should be. I've been through a lot of anxiety during this pandemic, and decided a week ago to work on myself, shed weight and adopt a better diet. Lifestyle changes are things I can control. My dad's alcoholism (few months sober now and attending Polish AA meetings finally), my mom's health problems (mental and physical), and some other elements, I sadly must come to the realization I cannot. I currently feel a tad bit drained, a little headache, but I believe it all points to a solid panic attack experienced earlier in the morning.

All this to say I cannot wait to get vaccinated and have one less thing to worry about. I'm grateful for HFBoards and everyone on here, whether we share the same point of views or are oceans apart. Much love and let's keep our heads up.

Almost 103K doses administered yesterday.

 

[LeHab]

Fair, but our own NACI did state mRNA is the gold standard for COVID vaccines.

NACI simply took the objective approach without sugarcoating. Both are safe and effective but given choice, go with mRNA.

NACI is there to make science based recommendations not selling stuff.

Hang tight buddy, we're here for you. Well done to work on yourself, we're nearly out of it.

There seems to be some incentive for fit younger guys to take AZ (to stay away from the heart inflammation risks), and for high hormone ladies to take an mRNA (to stay away from the clots). Can't wait for Novavax and Medicago to arrive.

 

[llamateizer]

Sickening

Yep. Agree with you.
Sad to read the individual stories.

Same as the little 13 years old girl who died of covid. The mother was in ICU and the father didn't wanted to get separated from the kids. He thought it was simple symptoms before it was too late

13-year-old Brampton, Ont. girl who died of COVID-19 passed away same day she was taken to hospital

 

[Ozmodiar]

I've had enough stress through this pandemic, and the bad times just keep rolling. 2 nights ago I was leaving my place for work when I came across a white Hyundai in the spot where I had parked. I do not own a white Hyundai. I can only assume that my car is on a boat somewhere in the middle of the ocean right about now.

I just want to be able to have some friends over and laugh about our miserable lives over BBQ and beers.

That’s awful. What a pain in the ass to deal with. hopefully the insurance claim will net you an updated model.

Happened to a friend of mine twice in one year.

I mean really, what do you actually know about these vaccines other than maybe a few articles read?

Let's be real for a second, it's probably the exact same thing for most GPs.

 

[hersky77]

So 30+ should be open tomorrow. Based on how things have been going

Man, that’s rough. I honestly didn’t even know people stole cars anymore.

Mine was a 2020 Honda Accord Sport with only 18k on it. Apparently a popular target. But it was a lease, so pretty much the insurance company replaces the value to Honda finance and that’s it. And my home insurance replaces the value of all the tools and work stuff I had in the trunk. I have a rental until Honda accepts their deal, but then I’m pretty much at square 1. I was aiming to get a 2021 Ridgeline for my next car but they’re 100% out of stock across the country until they start rolling out 2022s. It’s a bitch to find something on such short notice, but I’ll probably take over a lease with like 5 or 6 month left on it if I can find something like that, and get the Ridgeline when that’s over.

If that’s the case I’m booking my jab ASAP.

 

[FrankMTL]

So almost 24 hours after receiving the Pfizer vaccine, and the only side effect I have is a little soreness in the muscle in my arm where the injection was made. Other than that, maybe a little bit of fatigue, but it's hard to tell if it's because of the vaccine or because my 6 year old woke me up twice during the night

When I got my Pfizer shot I had fatigue as well. Got my shot in the morning and had the best sleep that night. I thought it was a nice perk lol

I would have loved to sleep last night, but I guess that's out of my control lol

 

[hersky77]

i mean it’s open on Monday. But 35 plus was only supposed to open today but opened yesterday. So it should be tomorrow or Sunday at the latest

 

[waffledave]

Pretty much everyone I know 35+ booked yesterday already. Those who didn't are already vaccinated due to work/health/other. I heard today on the radio that 86% of Quebecers have already been vaccinated or intend to be. Thanks to everyone for doing your social responsibility.

BTW: I do not know a single person 35+ who is not intending to get vaccinated. Not one single person in my entourage.

 

[PavelBrendl]

Really hope so.
