Anyone else have a close friend or family member who has caught this mild flu? If so, post your updates here so that we can mentally prepare for the effects when some of us inevitably fall ill.

Isn't there like a 50% chance we all had it by now since there are so many asymptomatic people?
no, that's way too high. saw some epidemiologists speculating about it on twitter the other day and they were talking about the true # of infections in the us being maybe around 2 m.

I assumed that was a little high but the thought came from a couple stories

Girl I hung out with for an extended period 3 weeks ago tested positive last week. Just checked in with her, and her update was "I am praying for death. I have never been more sick in my entire life. I can't breathe. I don't have the strength to do anything." :eek: 30 y/o, in case you're wondering.

my understanding was that the sample in that story came from a group of people thought to have been exposed to covid 19 positive persons, not a random sample from the population.
Right. I was being a bit gE at the 50% number but I bet a lot of us have had it. I mean hell I HOPE I had it.

if a lot of us had already had it, we'd have a death count in the hundreds of thousands or millions by now instead of just breaking 10k today.

Randomized testing is the only way to figure this out. Fortunately, that is now happening in several cities.but I bet a lot of us have had it.

to get any sort of precision right now, sure. but we know enough about the fatality rate to eliminate guesses that are off by orders of magnitudes.
I'm not so sure, but I'd like to be sure. What is the ratio between confirmed cases and presumptive cases who are simply told to go home and stay there, unless they literally can't breathe?
Post by: sys on April 06, 2020, 02:36:14 PM
so my guess for the true number infected + infected and recovered in the us right now would be 50k divided by 0.015 = 3.33 m.
very wide error bars, obviously (and if i was to guess from other measures, i'd probably go under that), but not wide enough to get to 30 m or 100 m or any sort of number that would be implied for many of us to have already been infected.

How many people's sperm count did they take before and after them having COVID-19?
Post by: 8manpick on April 07, 2020, 09:21:51 AM
Whether they are testing any after, you would have to imagine there is a fairly large sample of people who have before tests and then got Covid-19.Yeah, there have even been some reports about it affecting male fertility. But who knows at this point.

hospital staff would not allow my uncle in at dropoff as he is not experiencing any symptoms. They are quarantining at home. I'm assuming they are assuming uncle has also been infected until further notice, though not sure. not sure if quarantining together or apart within the home.
Adopted grandson was nearly asymptomatic and only ever had slight fever for a day or two. he has also been quarantining since he tested positive. he should be fine. though i cant imagine the guilt he must be feeling.

By all anecdotal reports, this varies widely in severity, and the death rate remains virtually non-existent for people under 60 without other aggravating conditions. The Diamond Princess is not a great sample because it had a very old population.
I agree, we’re headed for deaths around 30-40k, although the “true” number of deaths caused by covid, as opposed to dying with covid but primarily from other causes, will continue to be debated for some time. In fact, at least some of our current death count is based upon “presumed” cases that weren’t even confirmed with testing. And eventually, I predict we’ll settle on estimates of somewhere around 10MM US infections this year once we have better testing.

Worst part is we didn't have any cases until they brought in a infected COVID-19 case from rough ridin' Johnson county. They said they needed to practice on a case so they would be ready when they start coming in.What the eff? That's not practice, idiots.

I get mad at people who win tens of thousands of dollars betting on roulette, but I don’t wish I made the same decisions they did.
Except roulette doesn't have odds that favor you. 99.9% chance I don't die if I am infected. 95% chance I don't get hospitalized if I am infected. If it was the difference between me being able to work and go places or not, I'd take those odds all day, every day.

The comment was only in response to the absurdity of comparing being infected with the coronavirus to playing roulette.
Imagine the government does hand out antibody passes to those that have antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. What do you think will happen in terms of compliance to stay at home orders the next time some sort of pandemic rolls around? Do you think that people are just going to be willing to stay at home and risk their financial stability for something that has an extremely small chance of actually affecting them? At least, that was my interpretation of Phil's comment.

A 5% chance of each person going to the hospital puts the odds overwhelmingly in favor of you or someone (probably multiple people) you care about being admitted to an overcrowded hospital that can't admit visitors.

So wait, under this hypothetical, everything is staying open? And there's a 5% chance if I'm infected that I have to be hospitalized, and less than a 1% chance that I die? And I assume all of these odds are further reduced by only a certain percentage chance that I get infected in the first place? Yeah, I'd take those odds all day every day and enjoy some hella bargains and lower crowds.
Don't you have like 6 kids or something? That would put the odds at around 30% you have someone in your immediate family in the hospital while you get to quarantine yourself for a few weeks.

More than 40 years after the war on cancer was declared, we have spent billions fighting the good fight. The National Cancer Institute has spent some $90 billion on research and treatment during that time. Some 260 nonprofit organizations in the United States have dedicated themselves to cancer — more than the number established for heart disease, AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, and stroke combined. Together, these 260 organizations have budgets that top $2.2 billion.

I’ll bet you’re encouraged by the recent stuff about long term immunity then!No. If I don't feel like I'm back to my usual self, I'll follow up. Hour bike ride today felt just fine. It's been three weeks since quarantine ended for reference.I had it. From my interactions in the prior week, I got it dining at a restaurant or my GF brought it home from the hospital.
Two week flu. Nagging cough, fever, aches. Slept a ton. Fever and cough gone after the first few days. Very tired. Couple naps a day for a couple of weeks. Took a round of steroids after the fact to clear up the lungs. All good now.
Took 18 days to get test results. I'd already been done with quarantine.
Will you have any follow up appointments to monitor for long term symptoms or related illnesses?

Got a buddy who has had it for a while now. Got really sick about 5 weeks ago for about a week and a half, then since then has had recurring fever, chills, and fatigue symptoms. Seems to have been in the not dangerous but annoying phase for a while now. Mid 30s, fit, active athlete.
Does he have any idea how he got it?

He may, I don’t. I know he and his wife were both 100% remote for work, and were pretty cautious about doing even restaurant or grocery pickups.Got a buddy who has had it for a while now.

Meantime my dumbass dad was bragging to me about how he “took my mask off halfway thru the flight and didn’t put it back on until unboarding. They didn’t give me anymore guff.”My mom is anti-mask, it’s a hoax, going away after the election etc and it rough ridin' drives me nuts. She lives in the middle of nowhere WY tho otherwise she probably would have gotten it already.

Yeah, I totally agree. Been telling them not to go for a while, and they have been pretty good about it. But felt like they needed to go this past Sunday to pray for the division of the country... even though they voted for the guy causing it. UGH!

Just heard a crazy story of a three household spread after a weekend of events together and how blood type is maybe playing a role in who has it / symptoms. All the "A" blood types have it with moderate and above symptoms (not sure they all have a positive test) and all the "O" blood types have tested negative and/or don't have any symptoms.A+ blood type here. Developed mild nasal congestion, very slight fatigue and runny nose yesterday. Tested positive on the PCR. At home until 11/20. My work has this fancy UV decontamination machine that they used to disinfect my office. At home playing Battleship and ping pong with the kids today.

My family are all A+ blood other than one bro who is O neg. a lot of them got their asses kicked by it. O neg bro very minor symptoms. Extremely anecdotal obviously.Very interesting. There was a paper about this association in a medical journal a few months ago but I had totally forgotten about it since it is a non modifiable risk factor. Might be good to no in order to prioritize patients for the Regeneron drug.

maybe we already talked about this, but in japan EVERYONE knows their blood type. Your personality is judged by your blood type just like a horoscope or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. You are required to put your blood type on your resume and people regularly ask each others blood type on first meeting.Where can I break down my personality based on blood type? Now I have to know!

Dad has it, minor symptoms so far, cough, short of breath, no fever. Was wearing a mask when exposed, so hopefully things won't get worse. Got it from a guy at church who knew he was exposed, but still didn't wear a mask.
So it has been 17 days since dad has tested positive (19 days since symptoms started), and is pretty much back to normal... still has no taste. He was isolating in the basement away from my mom and she seemed to be fine, no symptoms, etc until last Thursday, 15 days after dad's symptoms started. He didn't break isolation after 10 days into it either. Mom got tested the day her symptoms started (both rapid and PCR) and both came back negative. She is doing fine, congested, low grade fever, and no taste... but still goes to show this virus is hard to predict\test for.

So, my mom died earlier this year (not Covid) and my dad has been in a pretty bad funk. The VA has put him on anti-depressants as he's had real thoughts about suicide. We've talked many times about Thanksgiving. We've discussed me coming up there or him coming down here. He can't really make the 6 hour drive by himself anymore. It will crush him if I'm not able to come up. Cases are surging down here but there is nothing in his county or the counties surrounding him in KS. I'm pretty torn guys, I know that not going is the right thing to do but I don't know if I can tell him.
Ugh, that sucks, sorry you have to even consider that. I would say if you both tested negative before hand it wouldn't be a problem, but that doesn't seem to always be the case.

I'm obviously missing a lot of details but with just that info, I'm thinking you temporarily relocate him into your household now unrelated to thanksgiving and until we're all chip'd and things are relatively normal again.

I'm obviously missing a lot of details but with just that info, I'm thinking you temporarily relocate him into your household now unrelated to thanksgiving and until we're all chip'd and things are relatively normal again.
yes, assuming he doesn't have much of a support system in KS. drive there and pick him up. worth the covid risk IMO. Might be tricky when schools reopen but still better than him being by himself when covid inevitably hits his hometown.

y-l_a, is your dad doing okay?still basically the same.. I think his biggest thing now is coughing and congestion, his voice sounds much better on the phone everyday that I talk to him though. still fatigued says if he takes a shower he has to sit down and rest but he says everything other than coughing and congestion has gotten better.
My stepmom actually drove down to TX from MHK and is staying in the room right next door. I think that has helped his spirits and she is able to bring him some healthier meal options. (She wears a n95 mask, goggles, etc. when going in to the room)
very weird though and it seems to be a day to day thing. Biggest thing with him is he is a workaholic and I know if he feels better he's going to try and work and I'm sure that will do more harm than good. He does paintless dent repair so it's not like he can sit in front of a computer like me.

Hope he has a good recovery. Good that your stepmom is keeping a close eye on him.y-l_a, is your dad doing okay?still basically the same..

My sister lives about a mile away and she's been good about going over there daily. She makes sure that he taking his medications and going to his doctor's visits. We keep thinking that once Covid is over, he'll be able to get out more and be more active but we may just be fooling ourselves. I think sitting in the house all day is really bad for him.
I'll call my sister tonight and see what she thinks. My wife and I have discussed moving him down here for a while we just haven't acted on it.
Good that she's there but sad it feels like he's stuck at home. Again I don't know what his situation is like but he doesn't need to be stuck in the house - he can see friends outside and your sister can probably spend time with him indoors if you all feel it can help.

95 year old grandma tested positive today. Mildly symptomatic. She’s been in otherwise good health, but the numbers for that demographic are pretty bad. Seemed somewhat inevitable, she lives in a mid-rise independent senior living facility and with community spread being what it is...

all these things suck major bags of balls and male genitals nuts and taint but silver lining is he's still around to be with grandkids and hopefully can recover more as they learn more about this crapface virus. recently read that some of the lingering effects are from the damage that our own body's immune system does to itself as it overextends in reaction to the virus. crazy but am confident that we will beat it and figure out better ways to help those who have been impacted like your pops.

What a great feature to entice people to donate. That’s p cool.I agree. Maybe after the pandemic, they could do hemoglobin a1c and cholesterol to screen for diabetes and heart disease risk.

This reminded me to create a Red Cross account, expected to have been negative in Aug and was.They have a pretty decent app (lists all of my donations dating back to like 1998). I had two previous negative antibody tests with them prior to getting this result today.

Also, one of Mrs SSOC's friends' husband got re-admitted to a hospital in KC yesterday. In early 70s. Originally, diagnosed with COVID in early Nov. Spent about 10 days in ICU and was sent home on O2. Looked like he'd aged about 10 yrs in 10 days. Started feeling worse again this week. Now found to have blood clots in his lungs and is back in the hospital.

I don't really like having my blood drawn. I usually do okay with donating blood as long as I don't look at the venipuncture site and try to distract my self by scrolling gE on my phone. One time there was a tech who decided to root around after one of my little forearm veins instead of the huge fat one that they normally access, I just about fainted. Hopefully I'll be able to distract myself from two needles.

Do you think I can take NyQuil so I can sleep?Absolutely. I balled my way through the rona with NyQuil / DayQuil. Also, get the steroids to zap your lung inflammation.

I have asthma but I have had zero breathing issues.Do you think I can take NyQuil so I can sleep?Absolutely. I balled my way through the rona with NyQuil / DayQuil.

My sister and brother in law have been dealing with it for about a week, having a hard time breathing. They live with my dad and step mom. Over the past 2 days they’ve started to show bad symptoms now too. :frown:Didn’t your sister already have it? Do you have more than one? Hope they start feeling better soon.

Sister tested positive today. Texted her this weekend, she said she felt like she had a bit of head cold, talked to her today, she said other than unable to smell, and some weird different symptoms since the weekend that came and went at different times (head ache, sore throat, some swelling in her neck) she's more or less alright and it's mild. She sounded good on the phone so that's a relief, if I didn't know what she had it sounded like she had some allergies/sniffles.Hope your sister has a good recovery.
The smell and taste symptoms are really weird. Mrs SSOC tested positive 2 months ago and her smeller is still only back to 25% or so.

one is back to about 80% energy levels but that's the only remaining symptom. the other will be on oxygen for the rest of their life and possibly won't be able to care for themselves without daily check ins for the remainder as well. could potentially be a candidate for a lung transplant but further testing needed. you know them so you know how they were prior to getting it. it's an awful disease.
weirdly neither ever lost their sense of taste or smell.

Mrs SSOC has some friends who are in their early 70s who got infected back in early Nov at basically the same time we did. The wife felt pretty horrible but didn't have to be hospitalized. Her husband was hospitalized twice - first with severe hypoxia (barely managed to avoid going on a vent) and then a few days after discharge from the original hospital stay with a huge pulmonary embolism. Mrs SSOC went over to help them clean their house yesterday (because that is still exhausting for them) and said that he is finally off of O2 but looks like he has aged about 15 years in 2 months. He was a very active guy - still working full time when he got sick.

yeah, I've noted it here before or in the other thread but my parents are in their mid 60s. very active, no comorbidities. 2.5 months in ICU for one. got the call twice to get there immediately because it was probably the end. not real fun 5 hour drives to make. only time we were allowed in to see them. we are trying to stay grateful that they survived and hoping to see small improvements as they work to get back. but, can only make so much improvement with lung damage.
Sheesh, sorry Steve Dave. I hope they can make a full recovery.

My friend's father has horrible lung damage. They're essentially waiting for him to die. His mom is same age and barely had a cough while infected. Certainly has different effects on each person.If your friends father has smoked ever certainly doesn’t help. Im afraid if my grandpa gets it he will be dead before you can say scat. Since he has chain smoked since he was 10

They both seemed healthy AF for their age (from what I know) which makes it scary that they were hit so hard. Hoping for the best and have been getting the occasional update through intermediaries. I kept thinking I would hear something more positive and, while the worst was avoided, the recovery just sounded like it has been tough.

Just got my Moderna chip. Interested to see if I feel effects from the AtlasVaxx antibodies getting boosted. Just signed up for the V-safe website. They will send me daily texts with questions about post-chip symptoms.Update on my chipping. Having some soreness in my deltoid at the injection site. No fevers. Vague sense of depersonalization and fuzziness in the head which I think is a hangover (probably didn't properly respect the chip by overly indulging in bourbon last night but I was watching riot/election news...). Completed the first V-safe questionnaire which was easy - expecting another one later today.
If you get a chip, would recommend not treating any minor symptoms with tylenol or motrin - it is just your immune system - plasma cells, antigen presenting cells, etc chatting amongst themselves about how to make beautiful spike-protein directed antibodies and fever-reducing meds could blunt that process.

why would taking pain killer be bad? Like it inhibits the chip from working to full potential? If that's the case, that should be on everybody's instruction list after their poke.It isn't the pain killing part of the med that is the problem, it is the suppression of the fever system. The immune system works somewhat better when the body temperature is elevated slightly. That's the main reason humans have developed a fever response. (Not talking about fevers of 104 or more that can cook your brain) but a nice one in the 100.4 range.

Just signed up to get Moderna, said it may take up to a month to receive. I like how the British call it a jab. I'm going to use that once I get jabbed.There are so many cool expressions that the British use. I would adopt more of them but my family and folks in general here in Smallville are very suspicious of foreign - sounding lingo.

My grandmother was from England (met my grandfather during WWII, he went over after the war and brought her back to America). She had a pretty significant accent until the day she passed but didn't use a lot of the awesome expressions. Now, when her brothers and sisters would come over, it was amazing and I wish I was old enough to appreciate it at the time (and document more of the terms/phrases they would use)

That's v. cool about your grandma coming from England. Have you been to England to visit cousins? There was an Italian woman in my hometown who had come to the US with her husband after WW2 and I used to mow her yard. Wonderful lady with wonderful accent. One time I broke off a water spigot on the side of her house with my mower and she was really nice about it - refused my offers to pay for the damage.Just signed up to get Moderna, said it may take up to a month to receive.

Pretty odd.That's too bad about the cold reception from the relatives. That beach looks phenomenal.

Chipping update: about 30 hrs after the jab I started to get a more intense headache and fatigue but never had any fevers - was able to push thru the afternoon at work. The headache did test my resolve not to take any Tylenol or Motrin. Watched Yamiche on Washington Week with Mrs SSOC and then had a great sleep last night and feel incredibly refreshed and back to 100% this morning (48 hrs after jab). Would not recommend mixing booze with your chip.

I know I would be going straight to the bars and restaurants that are kinda skirting the Covid rulesPretty much doing my thing. Wear a mask to avoid the shaming.

I'd suggest an antibody test. Probably already rolled through it.idk, maybe im a typhoid mary up in herebasically everyone I know has had it now except me

Pretty much every person I know has had it, and I've been "exposed" probably a dozen times....Kid in school all year.... Figured I had it at some point, but my antibody test came back negative 2 weeks ago.

Brother in law has it too. Parents tested negative luckily.My parents (60's) had my sister's family (3 school age kids) over to watch football on Saturday. My 13 year old niece had a cough. Today she tested positive for covid :dubious:
well hope your folks are negative at least.

If you have friends / family over the age of 65 or who have underlying health problems that make them high for severe COVID disease and they test positive, encourage them to talk to their doctor about getting monoclonal antibody therapy like bamlanivimab or REGN-COV2 to decrease their risk of severe disease. Sometimes, this doesn't get brought up because they may have been tested without having a doctor visit or they aren't feeling that sick at the time of the positive test. They should ask about getting this even if they aren't feeling terrible as the treatment seems to work better if given early in the disease course.

If you can volunteer your arm in place of a trash can, do it.
Quote
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services said that the pharmacy did the right thing. Getting the vaccine into priority groups remains the state’s primary goal, said spokeswoman Lisa Cox, but if, on occasion, extra vaccine is in peril of going unused, it’s better to use that vaccine than not.
“Ultimately, our main concern is not allowing for wastage,” Cox said. “So if they run into that predicament where they the just need to make sure it’s not wasted and it can be used to vaccinate people, that’s what they need to do — whatever means necessary. I’m encouraged that they found a way to get it into arms.”
Once thawed, vials should not be refrozen. If a vial is punctured, it must be disposed of within six hours.
“Someone doesn’t show up, and there is an extra dose,” Cox said, “if they can find an arm, no matter what priority group that person is in, that’s what we would advise them to do.”

Yes, I think the trend is shifting much more now to what was said by the Missouri rep now, because...
Actually, most are advocating that old people be able to jump the line.
Ideally, the line would be some physical or other line of old people that can be called in/up whenever there are 'chips available sooner for them than anticipated. With how poorly things started, a lot of nursing homes and similar that are at the top of the list naturally started double- or triple-booking in-house 'chip appointments and went with whoever got their first to be safe. The others they booked often can't just show up elsewhere and do the exact same project, and certainly not without not having enough or ending up with excess.
I think now that it's more understood that there are simultaneously shortages and still 'chips going to waste, most states are taking that Missouri approach that any arm is better than a dumpster.
It's a little better now where most states' priority category is straight age as opposed to physically being in a nursing home.

why is there not a standby list you can get on with your county, where they call you and give you 4 hours (or whatever) to come in and get jabbed before they throw the unused jabs away
It'd be better if it was 10-15 minutes, so that if you don't get there, they ping the next person. Otherwise, you're going to have a whole lot of people showing up for nothing over the course of 4 hours or whatever. Obviously most people who'd sign up for that aren't going to mind wasted trips, but you'd still be causing a situation where a bunch of people show up at once to one spot, and that's be a catastrophe if they spread COVID to each other doing so.

One of the hospital groups here in Denver is doing just that. They have a sign up online for when someone misses their appt they will call you and you have 15 min to get there. Anyone who wants can sign up. They obviously go down the list in order of who has signed up.

Rage and Phil and TBT for that matter were pretty proactive to tell ppl to stay home in the pit when this crap started a year ago. Holding moral high ground that you’re killing others when you step out of the house. Other Twitter peeps who are casual encounters here, who also have been lecturing others about the pandemic, seem fine now with cutting in line. I just find it a coincidence, that’s all. Happy you got it, KK. I highly doubt Trim needs to cut in line, but it’s whatever.

so its been 10 days since my symptomatic niece tested positive, and now my parents are taking her out for an event while the rest of her family quarantines. This is apparently what the kansas health department is telling people to do? Just wait 10 days after a positive test and then hit the streets? Not 10 days after symptoms end or 10 days and then you can test out with a negative test or tests?
Is this cool? Its just crazy compared to here where you have to isolate for 14 days and then test out with a negative test.

I think I'd read something here about how after the initial clusterfucks, the state was requiring (?) providers to be using 95% of their allotments. So if that's the case, I'd say the % that was getting wasted before that and deemed unacceptable was something a decent amount higher than 5%, and that even now 5% is acceptable?
A crazy thing was that failure to stay at 95%+ carried the consequence of getting cut out from being a chip installer. If you don't have better people to take their place, who would that really serve? If there are better people out there, use them too right now!
I think even 1% wasted is too much, especially now that the hardest parts are wrapping up and a lot of kinks should be worked out.

As reports emerge across the country of health facilities throwing out unused and spoiled COVID-19 vaccines, some state governments are failing to track the wastage as required by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, leaving officials coordinating immunization efforts blind to exactly how many of the precious, limited doses are going into the trash and why.
In Washington, a health facility allegedly threw out some COVID-19 vaccine doses at the end of workers’ shifts because staff believed state guidelines blocked them from giving unused shots to people below the top priority tier. In Maryland, workers appear to have tossed thawed doses when they ran out of time to administer them safely. How many doses, exactly, have been wasted in those states is unknown because neither state is tracking unused or wasted vaccines.
From the linked story for their WA example:
Quote
Washington State Hospital Association CEO Cassie Sauer said if this happens, it’s only a few doses at a time.
“If you’re doing 500, 700 doses a day, to end up at the end of the day with three leftovers, you know, we’d like there to be zero but that’s a hard ratio to hit,” Sauer said.
Believe me or don't believe me, but I can tell you that the ratios have been consisting of numerators higher than 3 and denominators much less than 500-700.

Update on my in-laws. The Regeneron must have worked pretty well as my FIL appears to be on the road to recovery. But my mother in-law had to be admitted to the hospital yesterday as she had clotting in her lungs.
yeah, that stuff is supposed to be incred. wish they had it when my folks were admitted. really hoping your MIL battles this off with no more clotting.

Must be a limited supply of Regeneron because MIL didn't qualify to get it. She may now but last week she didn't.

I think you mean false negatives. False positives are extremely rare iirc.Yes. They did a 2nd test after that and were cleared. I don't know how testing can be so damn inconsistent.

Got the second dose of my Moderna chip installed this morning. It was very poignant and bittersweet for me as the wonderful nurse who gave me the jab lost her mom to COVID 3 months ago. Here's to more shots in arms and a day when nobody is losing their loved ones or their health from COVID. Will keep the board updated on any symptoms from the second dose.

I got tested for the third time yesterday because my kid was sick and we thought we better be sure. negative thankfully again. my nose holes back to my brain must be really stretched out now because it slid back there pretty smooth and comfortably. so good news there guys.
I wonder if that would be similar with this:

It would certainly seem that way given the zero (near zero?) hospitalization rate for those who got chipped so far

ER nurse friend of mine avoided Covid for a year, then managed to get it this week, 3 weeks after his second chip. Mild symptoms, but pretty rotten luck. Father in law has had mild symptoms since Sunday, tested positive Thursday, but seems to have the bad cold version, so that’s good.Mother in law also tested positive, lost sense of taste and smell this morning.

You have to subtract the population of kids. Also, figure that about half of Kentuckians (probably less if we are being honest) will refuse it outright.

Yes, three larger areas will ramp and expand capacity. Not hillbilly areas. Hopefully we'll be allowed to get chipped in Louisville but not likely as the doses are allocated by county of residence.
However as noted, no kids will get chipped and half the adults are tinfoil loons that won't get jabbed.

Just got word from the Red Cross that my AtlasChip is on board. I'm another brick in the wall of herd immunity.
(https://i.imgur.com/NpQcWHR.png)
I'll be donating tomorrow, looks like you got your results in 10 days?
Donated Friday, downloaded the app today and it already posted that I was Negative.
After doing a large case study of 4 people, I'm concluding that if you donate and have antibodies, you will get those results roughly 10-14 days later. If you do not, they will let you know just a few days after donating.
Sounds like they may do multiple tests to confirm the antibodies and if your results aren't posted quickly (a few business days), you most likely have them.

I don't have a chip so I don't know if this is a winning strat but I have signed up at the following lists. I'm not in the phase opening up March 15th.
* MO State Vaccine Navigator
* KCMO Health
* Jackson Co Health
* Clay Co Health
* Platte Co Health
* WyCo Health
* Miami Co KS Health (I think?)
* Other county health departments specifically said only sign up if you are in this phase so I didn't
* 20'ish Random independent pharmacies I have found on the MO Navigator map site that were close by
* KU Med and St. Lukes signed me up being a customer they said
Sounds like a bunch of chips were available at some max chip event in Bollinger? Co MO this afternoon and people drove hours to "be there" when they decided to chip whoever was there and they got it. I don't know how to get hot tips on those. I'm seriously thinking of driving out to one of them next week and just milling about.

Plz forward this to your elders first, PT. They need it more than you. Great research tho. As of now moving forward... just wear a mask and follow guidelines. Mayor Q does the same. He’s been traveling more than anyone I know during this.
Yup good point definitely getting them all set up and mine have all been chipped I'm happy to say. As long as you are honest when signing up about your situation, you won't be before higher risk people that signed up after you.

that's why I volunteered at Cerner. I wasn't sure i'd ever find a spot with KS dicking around with it. Try that or I have had several friends get appointments by following @kcvaccinewatch on the twitters. Lots of Hyvee and CVS appts pop up, but you have to be fast. Also, Walmart opens up their appointments at midnight.

I got mine at a Choctaw hospital, but I’m Choctaw & that’s why I got my 2nd chip this week. It would have been a week sooner but the winter storm set them back a week for my first chip. I don’t know what it’s like in the southern portion of the nation, but they have a crew running clinics around the northern part that has the chip in your arm within 5 minutes of walking in the door.

There’s not really official literature on it for the mRNA vaccines especially. Personally I’d probably wait longer than normal to grab an Advil, but I wouldn’t feel bad about it if/when I did.

Can't tell if you guys are joking or not, but is there really a benefit to getting the Pfizer over Moderna? Other than it seems to have less side effects and you can get your second dose a week sooner.
no, side effects are all over the place with all of them and everyone should get the first one available.

What Mich said. You can look up all sorts of stats between all of them but it’s really not worth worrying about. Being picky at this point is like if you’re dehydrated and trying to figure out whether Desani or Aquafina is the better route to go.
That's what I figured, wasn't sure if I was missing something. Thanks!

MIL is very scared of vaccines so she’s another #onlyJnJ cause there’s fewer stories of 12 hour reactions. Also doesn’t think anyone should go to a vax appointment alone in case they die.
Why would you want someone to be there to see you die? Jeez, pretty selfish. Let them get told by the cop visit and not have to have a forever memory of seeing you stroking out on the CVS floor.

Moderna 'chipped today! Feeling super thankful! LFG!
Congrats, even though you got the second best, it really does feel great right? I know i'm still a few weeks out from picking up a full 5g signal after my shot last week, but its a relief. Looking forward to posting up at a bar or patio this spring. Its prob still going to be weird, especially when someone sneezes near me, but whatevs.
I did have a backup appt for Pfizer on Friday, which I would have preferred only because I get the second shot sooner, but I couldn't chance anything. Plus I will be 80% covid proof in 2 weeks anyway! I think posting up at a bar inside is one of the things I missed most! So close!

There was a waiting area not shown in the picture where they told you to sit and wait for 15 minutes after they chipped you up. I decided not to wait.

If I drive back to Kansas this weekend could I get chipped? Not going to lie, happy for you all getting shots, but it is getting pretty frustrating waiting. I’m going to have to stretch it a bit to qualify for the next phase to be in the construction industry or just eat recklessly for a couple weeks and bump up that BMI or start smoking cigarettes.
You can prob get chipped in KS if you want but we're not in the phase for healthy/moderately young people yet

Mrs. SSOC tested positive exactly four months ago. She couldn't taste or smell anything other than "salty" or "sweet" at first. Went thru a period where she would smell a terrible sulphur / sewer smell at random times and would accuse innocent people of farting. Her smell and taste are a lot better now but still not normal (probably 75% and 75%) - for example grapefruit LaCroix tastes like metal to her.Have joined the Vid Kid club as well.3 months later and still can't smell.

My son's teacher is out right now. Not sure of vaccination status, but doesn't wear a mask even though the school "highly recommends" it. Because I live in DFW, my son is one of only a handful of kids in his grade school class that wears a mask. Nearly every night on the news we see pediatric hospitals are full, and doctors come on and plead people to do their part to slow the transmission. But our state government sues school districts attempting to mandate masking for those 12 and under. They also deny virtual learning funding.
1/7 students and 1/7.5 staff in his school has or had covid since August 1st. 1/3 has been in quarantine.

We spent labor day with my dad and my sister in law's fam joined.I’ve heard several anecdotal stories like this.

We spent labor day with my dad and my sister in law's fam joined.I’ve heard several anecdotal stories like this.

Right?
We were also outside all the time, had windows/doors open all weekend. It was a lake trip.

why would you be worried about the teacher touching the papers?That's your takeaway?
While a remote chance of contracting covid exists on surface contact, it's still a chance. The teacher typically hands back papers. Thus mixing everything sneezed, coughed, breathed or finger licked into a big stew to be shared with his/her students.
WebMD: "How long will the coronavirus survive on paper? Examples: mail, newspaper. The length of time varies. Some strains of coronavirus live for only a few minutes on paper, while others live for up to 5 days."
CDC: "It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads."

If you choose to live an unhealthy lifestyle, you already know you should be healthier. Most of those people aren't changing crap. Oh and hey, how bout the gov just get rid of fast food joints! They can't mandate vaccines, but they can take away our eating choices!

While less likely to suffer long-term covid or die, these kids will also be passing it on to the immunocompromised and those with waning immunity (whether vaxxed or natural). They have also been shown to get far sicker, and much more often since Delta arrived.
It's currently a southern "problem", but won't be for long. What happens when there aren't enough nurses, respirators, resp. therapists, liquid oxygen, etc. to just fly in and help fill in the gaps?
But yes, let's just send them to bed earlier and have them run around outside more. That should help combat this disease that has killed 1/500 Americans...SO FAR, and altered life as they knew it for countless others.

I agree with that part, but the idea that living a healthier lifestyle is a substitute for the vaccine is just dumb. Not saying that is your argument, but it has shown up a lot on my social media. Not to mention that even if an obese\overweight person wanted to change their lifestyle, at this point it's too late in regards to staying unvaccinated.

Been thinking about this. My kids have been sick twice already this school year. I think we made it all last year with one minor cold. Same mask requirements at school. I'm sure its because people are getting out more so the kids are getting exposed to more staff than last year, but I was hoping we were going to track the same this year because of the school mask requirements. Did the kid cold virus mutate and now masks don't work on them anymore? :ohno:

That’s completely different than getting on idiots who aren’t taking 10 minutes out of their lives to minimize their risk of spreading a deadly disease. Even if you already had COVID there’s no ambiguity in the science, you still benefit from the vaccine.
I hope all these people’s doctors are also telling them to get vaccinated for their own health, but acting like that’s why people are fed up with the unvaccinated is a stupid false narrative. The drag they are putting on the health of others are the economy in general is unimaginably out of proportion to the burden it would take to get a shot.

I would assume a majority do not have a primary care physician that they see on the reg. I fully hope they figure out how long antibodies last but if I currently have the antibodies (as of last time I gave blood) honestly why get the vaccine?

I recall seeing a few articles a couple weeks ago about how those who have recovered from covid and later received a vaccine have "super immunity" (stupid term) to the virus. So, that's a pretty compelling reason.

just went today and got a $50 gift card at dillons. maybe another $50 for the second shot. but there is some harm though, have to consider that side effects could prevent you from doing some things depending on how bad or how long they last.
how does one lose antibodies? is it like each antibody has a certain lifespan, so it doesn't matter if you have a billion or a gazillion of them, they'll just die at the same time? or is it like you lose a certain amount each day, so if you had a gazillion of them you're set for life?

An individual antibody molecule like IgG has a half life of about 30 days in the plasma before it gets recycled. Plasma cells (a descendant of B cells) moving in the blood stream produce more antibodies as needed. Adaptive immunity (the part of the immune system that distinguishes between self and nonself antigens in response to infections or vaccinations) is truly incredible.Absolutely nothing, I don’t get the point though.

yeah, this is my issue. I have constant sinus issues. Unfortunately, Little SF has them too. Constant runny nose, sneezing, etc. Mrs SF is currently locked away with Covid and I have my usual runny nose, etc. and I keep wondering if I have it.

Constant runny nose, sneezing, etc. Mrs SF is currently locked away with Covid and I have my usual runny nose, etc. and I keep wondering if I have it. I tested negative the other day, but still can't figure out how in the hell she has it and I don't, so i'm just waiting for an additional symptom before I test again.
My wife had it back in the summer and neither I or our 3 kids ever got it. And she had symptoms for 4 days before she quarantined. I did a lot of research after she tested positive and transmission rates within families are actually a lot lower than you would think.

the only people I know got it all got it from being inside a family unit or with another family for a length of time in a similar setting.

Spoiler alert: they don't know how they really got it. They think they might know where they got it.
Fair, but its still bonkers to me that she got it from someone she was close to and I didn't get it from sleeping right next to her for presumably 1-2 days. Maybe Mrs SF is "getting even closer" to someone than me sleeping next to her? :dunno:

As with most things, genetics probably plays a major role in all this in ways we’re really not even that close to understanding.
I do have stud genetics and my body is a temple, so that is prob it. :gocho:

I think protocol if vaccinated is to mask up for ten days after exposure if not symptomatic. After five days you can get a test and if it's negative then I think you are ok to go unmasked. This was what was told to me by a physician.Can we turn this thread into COVID scenario questions since the CDC guidance is garbage?

Does exposure count 3 days prior to them having symptoms though? Tested negative 4 days after we were together.What kind of test did they have? It's not uncommon for rapid tests to give false negatives with the Omicron variant.

I haven't seen anybody posting saying they have mild symptoms say they had a fever but yeah if I have a 99 degree "fever" I think that's mild and I'm probably not taking anything. Simply different classifications. If I'm popping a drug I'm beyond "mild" in my mind.

2nd test was positive too. So far he's been doing fine, not any worse than a couple other bugs he's had this winter. If ms ww and I don't get it, this vaccine rules so much.

No school x 5days, then return to school wearing a mask for 5 days.One of the kids just got Omicron'd. Flu like symptoms (severe fatigue, HA, sore throat, stuffy nose, muscle aches) yesterday. Already feeling much better today.What's the school isolation plan?

Not saying our district is taking the right approach but with 10 days out I think you will run out of students and teachers pretty quickly.Yeesh we have 10 days before returning to school from symptomatic covid.

Are most of these staff out with mandatory quarantine after taking a test due to close proximity to another case? That seems like too many for them all to have experienced significant symptoms that led to testing, doesn't it?Close proximity was the bulk of absences here. Took the 5 day weekend to recover. Now snow and ice. So day 6 is an nti day. Hopefully full classrooms rest of the week.

yeah, this is going to be interesting. I've heard SM is close and we have been getting "be prepared" emails. So, some of the largest districts in the state may be forced to close and since KS politicians are rough ridin' dumbasses, virtual isn't allowed. I'm not a fan of virtual, but that seems better than no school. :dunno:

well it's 10 days for symptomatic only (5 days asymptomatic) and they're testing all the time. which should catch more infections sooner and reduce them overall.

Tested positive today, have had a mild sore throat for a couple days, no other symptoms (yet). Guessing I got it at the Chiefs\Broncos game Saturday.
Woke up more congested and a worse sore throat. Def hammering some dayquil.
On day 7, pretty much symptom free. Tested positive again on day 5. It is weird, I had a couple of symptom free days, and then shitty days after. I have been isolating in the the basement, thankfully my wife and kid still haven't gotten it. Coincidentally my 18 month old got sick with something else... my wife is about to lose her mind!

This was exactly our experience aside from Mrs SF having it instead of me. I checked on her one day and she was doing some very low impact workout. 2 days later, she felt like crap again. None of us got it and I about lost my crap dealing with everything and trying to keep her as isolated as possible.

We did 6ish days. She started coming out a bit 5 days after testing positive which was a day or so after having symptoms. She wore KN95 for a day or so after, but we were all done with it by day 6.

yep, ask someone else and they will say something different. we went with the "she is prob contagious 2-3 days before and after having symptoms" theory and gave it an extra day or so. That worked out to her being isolated about 5-6 days after the positive test.

looked it up and both my kids schools were at 90% attendance today. I think part of it's because covid just ripped through NYC but also I think the test to stay helps.

MAGA aunt is out of the hospital. So that’s good. No Facebook posts since before she was admitted. Really going to be interesting to see if she goes back in on her anti-vax stuff knowing the petty Facebook BS she routinely engages in and knowing she will get absolutely skewered for it by the local non-MAGAs she fights with on there if she does.
Unfortunately, she will prob double down if anything. They dig in pretty deep and from my experience, they will do anything they can before admitting that they were wrong.

My mom and her husband had planned three weeks at an airbnb after the resort. It has a few extra bedrooms so looks like I'll probably go with them until I can get back in the US. From what I can find you need a negative test or a doctor's note saying you are recovered after 5 days.

Officially got the Rona.
Dosed up pretty good on OTC’s. Not doing bad.

Vet told me I have to isolate from my dogs, but right now I'm their only caregiver. I've got them gated off upstairs while I work downstairs, but they're not going to like to be gated off from me this evening. :frown:
whoa, that is pretty interesting. I never even thought about that when Mrs SF had it. Doggie laid in bed with her the whole time. I have been hearing about lunatics using tests on their dogs though. What a weird timeline.

Entire family was omicron'd over the past 2 weeks. Everyone better now. We were in close contact with our dog. I think being separated from his humans would make him feel worse that Covid. He never seemed to manifest any symptoms.Vet told me I have to isolate from my dogs, but right now I'm their only caregiver.

That was pretty much the extent of Lil' SF's symptoms. He is a week past quarantine and is still a bit sluggish on occasion. Also, says he has an upset stomach every once in a while, but nothing that really holds him back.
Father in law tested positive and was at our house this weekend. I was in pretty close contact so we will see. I didn't get it when Mrs SF had it 3 weeks ago or when Lil SF had it 1 week ago, so who knows. I'm thinking I prob had it, but my vaxed and boosted body whipped its ass and I didn't realize it. :dunno:

Stayed home from work anyways on Thursday because I was coughing a lot and felt like crap. Tested again on Thursday night: positive.
Felt like crap (though not debilitating or anything) on Friday and Saturday. Started feeling better yesterday and aside from a little fatigue, feel 100% today.
Sudafed is a hell of a drug.

She got vaccinated for Covid the first day she could. She was a couple weeks out from her 2nd vaccine when the 2nd semester started, so she went back to school. In late January she got Covid & it hit her kind-of hard. She never really got over it. Her breathing never went back to normal & was diagnosed with probable long Covid. She got bronchitis in March-April. Still couldn’t shake it & now has developed pneumonia.

7 year old has a history of mildish asthma. Was on breathing treatments for awhile, but was able to quit & never had to carry an inhaler. She also has a history of getting really sick with colds/flus really fast. Like she would go from 98.6 to 105 in 20 minutes then stay in 102-104 range for a week.

Oh man, I'm sorry. My son (8) has been hospitalized 3 times and has had 2 ambulance rides from asthma. Always triggered by a fever. I don't know that he's gotten covid yet or not (I had it and was home with the family but he never showed symptoms) and he has been vaccinated. Breathing issues are the scariest thing in the world. I had them growing up and thankfully outgrew them and hoping my son does as well. He's been on QVar and now is transitioning to Singulair. Hoping she makes a full recovery soon.

That sucks & is way worse than what she’s going through. She’s had breathing issues for 3 months, but nothing more than discomfort/pain. We had an issue with the birth of the second where I thought she died for about 30 seconds & we ended up being lucky to go home with a healthy child. However, we’ve never had the ambulance ride/hospital because they can’t breath. That has to be the scariest thing in the world.
She did have an allergic reaction to tree nuts. Drove her to the hospital on a Sunday night, but her pediatrician called me back while we were in the parking lot. Her entire body was covered in hives. I had a bottle of Benadryl with me. He said don’t take her in unless her breathing changes because all they will do is give her Benadryl. We sat there for 2 hours until the hives went down. That night we learned she has paradoxical reaction to Benadryl & she had a psychotic episode. She was hallucinating stuff in her room, hallucinating that me & my wife weren’t us & trying to fight them/us all night.

My oldest kid got Covid for the third time (11/20, 1/22, 6/22) last week. One of the woodwinds decided to come to band rehearsal while sick (sneezing / blowing nose). The director, at least three flutes and a brass player also got infected during the 1 hr rehearsal. She has fully recovered but missed a week of work and activities that she enjoys.
Man that sucks. Lil SF was sick last week. He is always sneezing and blowing his nose with allergies anyway so its hard to tell. I knew he was feeling bad and trying to fight it and he finally gave up and said he felt bad. That night his fever spiked and we tested him...negative. He barfed that night and ran a fever the whole next day. After 24 hours the fever was gone and he was a bit tired. We made him chill for another day just to be sure. The third day he said he was fine but his throat was a bit scratchy.....tested him again and....negative. I'm thinking the in home tests are mostly garbage. He had every symptom and still tested negative twice. Also, in hind site, I was pretty sluggish that whole week. After the negative tests, I just assumed I had a bit of whatever he had. I have still never tested positive, but there is very little chance I haven't had it.

Man, went to get my flu shot yesterday with the family and they asked if I wanted an updated covid booster. They just got the latest variant one in so I said sure. My first and only known bout with Covid was about 9 months ago and it sucked way more ass than I thought it would so I was down with getting boosted. Holy moly do I feel like crap today. I had all Pfizer before and this was Moderna, so no idea if that was it. My arm feels like it was hit with a sledgehammer and I still just feel like absolute crap. I'd been on vacation the past couple of weeks so I started my workouts again and had some soreness the past couple of days. This threw that into super overdrive and I'm hurting all over. Mrs SF is super pissed at me because she feels similar. :frown:

yeah, I know, i'm just surprised at how shitty I feel. I was pretty sick like 2 months ago and had every covid symptom, but kept testing negative. I assumed it was covid even with the negative tests, but apparently it wasn't. My bod is currently whipping the ass of something it hasn't seen before.
