[Phil Titola]

The guy who went to the anime conference in anY had been boosted and mild symptoms for one day I think I read.

Meanwhile, preliminary evidence from South Africa's National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) suggests people who were previously infected with COVID-19 are three times more susceptible to reinfection from Omicron than from prior strains.

"We believe that previous infection does not provide protection from Omicron," said Anne von Gottberg, who heads NICD’s respiratory diseases laboratory. "We believe the number of cases will increase exponentially in all provinces of the country. We believe that vaccines will still, however, protect against severe disease."

Like Kevin famously stated, I'm not afraid anymore.

So, are the magas who screamed natural immunity in everyone's face getting dunked on by Omicron?

[Phil Titola]

I was told yesterday in discussion with a coworker where he wasn't getting the booster unless required by work and I said I was first in line that I would also be first in line when the government requests to cull 10% of the population.

I don't think I would be first in line for that.

Sounds like this thing is going to keep stacking non vaxxed in perpetuity until there are none left or they have seen enough of their loved ones die

Seems like they’re clinging to the “this started in South Africa” theory?

Shouldn’t we be assuming that wave is already here?

There are still lots of magas who would rather die gasping for air/begging for the vax to own the libs.  It is one of the wildest, if not the wildest, thing I have ever witnessed.

They have to realize that these old magas are dedicated voters and if you lose half a million, it kind of hurts the chances for Trump/Flynn in '24

With what I'm experiencing with older family members and the State of KS regarding Covid testing.

I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt the Kansas Department of Public Health sucks absolute total ass.

We're now moving on to commercial providers.

I’m sure it pales in comparison to the Alabama department of health.

Who cares.  The ADPH is not a concern at the moment.

Thanks. So far so good symptom wise for my boosted parents.   Still awaiting the results. 

Thanksgiving.  All fully vax’d, but a cousin thought “it was just a little cold”.   Which for her and my other cousin that’s all it’s been so far.  The same with an aunt, so far.   Again, thankfully all at 2.0 and most at 3.0. 

If you’re sick, stay the eff home!  Preaching to the choir here.

[Phil Titola]

Sounds like a success story!

[sonofdaxjones]

The chips are the best frontline prophylactics we have.   

Confirmed

Are there lots of monoclonal infusion sites on Kansas side of metro?   I was looking around the other day and they aren’t very well advertised if there are.

[sonofdaxjones]

So far it's just been the sniffles and runny noses for those that have tested positive.

[Dugout DickStone]

when do you peeps decide to go get tested?  feel warm, crappy?  Rule out a hangover?  Or do you defacto get a test if headed to see older family?

I have gone by the benchmark of respiratory.  Meaning if I feel weird, or warm but absolutely no cough, sore throat, sniffles, congestion etc., I don't get the test.

[steve dave]

I bought a truckload of at homes and test myself and spouse and kids whenever. If I ever post a positive I’ll immediately go for the bigtime one

[steve dave]

Also I always travel with an at home
