Coronavirus

[One Brow]

I see California is booming while Florida is doing fabulous...

California total cases at 12K/100,000 people, Florida at 17K/100,000.
California total deaths at 182/100,000 people, Florida at 281/100,000.

Why do you want 50% more Californians to have died? Why do you love killing off people so much?

Who would've thought?

Indeed.

And I don't mean people who are for the vaccine, I mean the true, no exaggerating modern day Nazis.

They would all be voting for Republicans.

I'm against the force and blatant tyranny.

No one is being forced to vaccinate.

People testing negative for Covid-19 despite exposure may have ‘immune memory’

Study says some individuals clear virus rapidly due to a strong immune response from existing T-cells, meaning tests record negative result

www.theguardian.com

The work suggests that a subset of people already had memory T-cells from previous infections from other seasonal coronaviruses causing common colds, which protected them from Covid-19.

These immune cells “sniff out” proteins in the replication machinery – a region of Covid-19 shared with seasonal coronaviruses – and in some people this response was quick and potent enough for the infection to be cleared at the earliest stage. “These pre-existing T-cells are poised ready to recognise SARS-CoV-2,” said Swadling.

The study adds to the known spectrum of possibilities after exposure to Covid-19, ranging from escaping infection entirely to severe disease.

The finding is particularly significant because the T-cell arm of the immune response tends to confer longer lasting immunity, typically of years rather than months, compared with antibodies. Nearly all existing Covid-19 vaccines focus on priming antibodies against the vital spike protein that helps SARS-CoV-2 enter cells. These neutralising antibodies give excellent protection against severe illness. However, the immunity wanes over time and a potential weakness of spike-based vaccines is that this region of the virus is known to mutate.

“Some people with COVID-19 have symptoms that last for months - it's known as long COVID. Scientists now think long COVID is likely three different syndromes lumped into one”.

Long COVID patients ‘begging for help’ with lingering health problems

It is not unusual for patients recovering from certain viruses, such as West Nile virus or even the flu, to have ongoing complications. But long COVID is more prevalent, more severe and longer last...

My experience:

04.11 - wife got suddenly 38C degree fever. Both the home- and PCR test were positive, home test for daughter was negative. I did not do any tests.
09.11 - daughter's both home and PCR test positive, otherwise no symptoms. My PCR was borderline so doctor scheduled another test for me.
11.11 - my PCR test again borderline. Test performer called me and told to get another test. I told, that my previous was borderline and i have no symptoms. That was OK, but my doctor still told me make another test.
14.11 - my PCR was negative.
16.11 - my daughter's home test negative.

My doctor suspects that de facto i had COVID, but de jure obviously not. Probably will do some blood sample analysis in december to decide when should i make a third shot.
So far my wife in general is OK. Sometimes there is a small occasional 37,2C fever and feeling like you had little bit of wine. My wife got her shots at the end of march and mid-may; i got mid april and at the end of may.
Obviously not doing any celebrations a la "COVID is conquered", because well, you never know what the future brings on. Doctor suspects that my wife got the virus on 01.11 when visiting a dentist. It was 1 hour long procedure and the windows on that room could not be opened. Between 04-14.11 i worked from home and occasionally visited grocery stores, but otherwise kept low profile.

Hope you all recover fully.

Day 21 of strict quarantine. I'm beyond ready to get out of this hotel room. I'm glad I have friends on the outside smuggling booze in to me. One person tested positive from my flight on the 14th day so it got extended 7 days two hours before I was supposed to go to home quarantine. That better not happen again.

Never say never, but i would state, that on my case the virus probably went in and a combination of luck, vaccines and immune system kicked it out as fast as possible. Because those two borderline PCR tests probably meant that something was going on inside my body. My fitness level is same as before. We have an 60 m2 apartment (3 rooms + kitchen) and tried to be like hedgehogs i.e as careful as possible. No hugs, no kisses (until my second PCR test), slept in a separate room. Windows open as much as possible so pretty annoying due the flowing cold wind inside the apartment.

During that period my wife had 38C fever for some days, then one day without fever at all, then next day 37,2C fever then again next day no fever. Occasional coughing and sometimes short "little bit of wine" moments. Doctor gave her some kind of mild antibiotics. Told her that other symptoms are not big deal, but occasional fever requires attention. Otherwise during entire that period her productivity was OK (she works as an accountant in an Estonian branch of a quite big industrial company) and concentrating on complicated Excel worksheets was not a problem. Also, Coca Cola and pickled cucumber helped to make her feel better.

So lets wait and see, what the future will bring us.

Anyone get their booster and flu shot at the same time? What were the side effects like? I'm scheduled to get both on Friday morning but I'm worried the side effects from getting both at once will be bad.

I got mine a week apart. No real side effects to speak of.

I haven't had a booster, but I'd kind of rather get them both done at once and deal with a sore arm once (not to mention only making the one trip).

I would have done that had it been an option at the time.

I did. So, I didn't have any significant side effects from the first two doses and I also didn't have any significant side effects from the booster and flu shot at the same time.
