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"

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

 

Thanks for the info. I am looking forward to a day off, even if I feel okay.

 

I felt that way after shot 1. Shot two is gonna kick my ass like MacDermid vs Gabriel

 

Over 100 cases again
Hosp down again from 109 yesterday
ICU up from 16, but it was sooo low I really don't think it was going to get much lower

 

Had my 2nd shot last Monday, no issues whatsoever outside of a night sweat which couldve been attributed to alcohol poisoning from trying to watch the kings play ice hockey. Wife however got it bad, spent nearly 30hrs on the couch or bed with chills/fever/aches. Felt like a champ the following day though.

 

which shot Squirties?

 

The one that gives you boners

 

did she get one?

 

I think that's what her problem was. So achy.

 

Drink lots of water, and have some Tylenol ready to go. If you get hot, sweats, have some ice pak a ready to go. Symptoms won’t last very long.

 

I don't know what I am looking forward to less. The back to back with the Sharks or Moderna shot 2 after having a reaction on shot 1

 

Cases back under 100!!


0.8% positives today

Both hosp and ICU are UP today
Hosp was 107 yesterday and ICU was 23

 

Yesterday's numbers

 

0.6% positives today
Hosp sneaked up 1
ICU up from 28

 

Cases creeping up was expected, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous. One thing OC has going for it is really good vaccination rates, so hopefully this is just settling in around a low case rate and not the beginning of something worse.

 

Saturday

 

I'm getting the J&J one on Monday. Anyone have experience with that?

 

actually just got it on friday, i've felt completely normal to be honest. maybe a minor headache day of, but i could probably explain that away with my caffeine usage being off schedule that day since i got a call for the vaccine on short notice

i guess my delt is a little sore where they jabbed but no more than any other injection i've ever gotten. been hanging around the house waiting to get sick but it never comes

 

I’ve been on campus pretty much the whole year 730-230 as a SPED Teacher. The loosening of protocols feels really strange. Definitely an adjustment.

 

Two days in a row with high case loads

 

2 siblings and 2 in-laws got the J&J and only one of them had any kind of side effects for about a day. I got shot 1 of Pfizer on Friday and only felt a little out of sorts yesterday, but nothing debilitating.

 

I’m on the fence about getting the vaccine since everyone who got the first small pox vaccine died.

 

I think the J & J is made using dead COVID-19 virus. I think you should hold out for the Moderna or Pfizer which might give you better protection against variations of the virus.

 

We're gonna send my five y/o to school in the Fall. Going to be weird since we pulled him out of preschool to start over again. He plays at the park and wears a mask so I'm getting him used to protocols. He tells other kids to keep distance and it always turns into a fun game of chase since they all start running and laughing.

 

It's actually a DNA strand instead of RNA. They just take the DNA code for the spike protein and put it in the shell of a common deactivated virus.

 

Little ones should be ok. My high school SPED students and four other classes have been alone on campus in pods. Dealt with a lot of quarantines and some family deaths. No real spread on campus thankfully.

Now pods are gone, at 3 feet, and gen Ed students are returning. Kind wish we saved the return for August.
