A reminder for the rules of the thread and general Covid-19 talk

This forum is not limited to hockey-related talk.

You may critique the response of government but don't make it political.
Posts attributing motives because it involves this or that political party/politician/ideology will not be tolerated.

Examples:
Allowed: "Trump doesn't know what he's doing, the response was too little too late"
Not Allowed: "The only reason the response was so slow was to keep the stock prices high so he can get reelected"

Allowed: "The media is over-reporting this and it's going to make things worse"
Not Allowed: "The liberal media is over-reporting this because they're trying to bring down Trump"


Miracle cures, home remedies, and medical advice should not be posted.

Be careful what you link to, treat it like the trade forum we don't want to spread bad information.

How you're preparing, how this is affecting your community, news and information are the types of discussion this forum is for.

If you want to talk about the protests in regards to Covid-19, be my guest. Please try not to diverge the thread into politics.

And none of this "civil war" bullshit

Some rando on FB confirmed that it indeed the lowest since the county started tracking the stat.

Well done Fish

LA, Orange counties eligible to advance into orange tier, allowing businesses to expand capacity

LA and OC hit the orange tier tomorrow

 

I finally got it and my wife has it now. Tomorrow is the last day I can get the antibody infusion. So far no fever just exhausted.

 

Are you talking about Covid? I thought you got it like 6 months ago?

 

I tested negative then. A few coworkers have it and I got tested on Saturday after not being able to taste breakfast. Today is the last day for the monoclonal antibody infusion I was offered because I’m high risk. I feel ok just tired with an occasional cough. My wife has body aches and cough but her taste buds seem fine.

 

I hope you both have an easy ride and make a quick full recovery.

 

Thank you. She’s been working through it (from home) and napping on her lunch break. She did sleep in today and will probably work this afternoon.

I was hoping for a bigger penis for myself. I guarantee you if that was a side effect we wouldn't have a problem with men getting vaccinated. The pharmaceutical companies missed an opportunity for sure.

 

With the Canucks and Habs having some Covid issues recently, are any of you perplexed like me that professional athletes have not been given vaccines yet? I would think every athlete that wants one, would have them by now?

 

I’m with you especially at this point with vaccines readily available

I think early on they may have been worried about the optics of athletes bypassing, say, teachers/doctors

Biden Covid Advisor Warns ‘Game-Changing’ Variant Infects Kids ‘Very Readily’ And Could Spur New Lockdowns

 

Where Do COVID Vaccines Stand Against the Variants?

So, I am thinking the J&J vaccine may not be very effective down the line.

I received the first dose of the Moderna vaccine during a trip to Arizona last Friday. I am going back at the end of April to get the second dose. It took me all of 10 minutes to get my on-line appointment a couple of weeks ago, and received the vaccine at a local pharmacy near my Mom's home.

Easy, peasy.

I am going to look for information as to why the RNA vaccines are 6 to 8 fold less effective against the Brazilian variant as Fauci claims.

 

The county took the weekend off (lazy bastards) so that is going f*** up our counts.



Monday's numbers


Hosp and ICU both down (big) from Friday though

 

The only reason I can think of why a RNA vaccine wouldn't be effective is that whatever target it is simulating doesn't match up. Since these vaccines simulate the spike protein of COVID, It's likely that these variants have mutations that change that protein. So far we've been lucky that most of the mutations have just caused slight increases in transmission or morbidity and haven't resulted in any major structural changes to the virus.

 

This is my understanding of RNA technology as well. There would have to be a significant change in the protein spikes in order to render the RNA vaccines ineffective.

I don't think it is wise to consider any more lock downs if these new variants have no to little impact on hospitalizations and morbidity.

 

I got the second moderna shot last Friday, and it was fine for awhile until about 24 hours later, I felt like I had a bad hangover, fatigued etc. Symptoms didn’t last very long, about 8 hours.
