Fuck yeah I worked for them for 5 years. Generally a favorable experience for me and I keep up with a lot of people that are very happy about this.
It’s really awesome that hospitals are doing this. There’s a tremendous amount of risk with the staffing constraints many have but it really needs to be done.
I called 2 day cares and non of them required teachers to get vaccines. I was hoping to change daycares
FML. My wife just got a call from daycare and yep, kid in my sons class is positive for covid so he is on his way home and to the dr. Gonna be wrangling a 1 year old with one arm
I'm very thankful that all of us got exposed on a Friday evening. Not sure how contagious my kid is, but I'm glad she wasn't at daycare while she was asymptomatic but still shedding virus everywhere. Won't be surprised if another kid tests positive at some point though.
Big news for me. Feeling well enough to try to get back into my running routine. I’m going to cap myself at 2 miles as a precaution. Hoping I can keep my heart rate at its normal working capacity for that. Rooting for the rest of our TMB family that is now going through this shit. I hope all of you make a full recovery and get a chance to punch whoever transmitted it to you squarely in the dick.
and she has stated (maybe in a heated moment) that she's not sure she wants to stay in politics. great
Jesus, basically half the residents in the memory care facility where my MIL lives have tested positive. Thankfully, thus far, most are asymptomatic or only showing mild symptoms. You have to think this Delta surge among the vaccinated population means we'll be seeing boosters authorized, even if it's just the original strain, in a couple of months right? Hoping the Moderna CEO continues pushing for this since he said he'd rather be wrong and have people get unnecessary boosters than be right and have boosters rolled out too late.
wtf Kid stuff behind the spoiler. It's a bit shocking initially, but be aware the N for pediatric death is very, very small, in the US Spoiler
hopefully the new wave and news of unvaccinated people ending up in the hospital wakes some people up who were on the fence and thought their immune system could handle it.
2/3 are vaxxed (at least with one dose) according to that quoted tweet? that's pretty good. didnt realize it was so high tbh
These new first shot people are going to be extremely mad when they still get really sick in the coming 3-5 weeks in spite of ~lowering themselves~ to the get the shot and since they're already primed on antivax bullshit, they're gonna start undermining socially it because they have "first hand experience " getting it too late.
I'd kind of wonder how much of this actually happened at the festival tbh, vs before/after when folks are still socializing. Kind of the way early on big European soccer nights were blamed, but those invariably included folks cramming into bars shoulder to shoulder and screaming and chanting and stuff, in addition to actually attending the game in a big arena.
I’m skewing that number. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten my first shot. They’re never going to get me with that second shot bullshit.
It's harrowing how many gross ass people use republican performative outrage as a justification for medical decisions
Nats pop 12 cases, only 1 unvaccinated. I wonder what our case numbers would be if we tested everyone daily. Gives me partial hope that we’re farther into this latest wave than we realize (but maybe I’m naive).
No I do not agree to that. Doctors absolutely must treat people in need regardless of how they got there. To seriously suggest otherwise is antithetical to the entire enterprise.
I hate to be that person but she is a disgusting human so I’m not sorry. MTG looks straight up busted. Like she’s trailer park princess.
True but if they mutate from the Delta variant then a booster targeting Delta (that won't take as long as the full vaccine did the good developed in an approved) could still be very effective. The vaccines we have now are many many generations behind.
Also, the third pfizer shot seems pretty great against delta. It may be a consequence of a much larger antibody response as opposed to necessarily have the antibodies be even more specified by the booster with updated mRNA. Third shot seems like a really good interim bandaid Edit: should prob look at the data first but ~the tweet~ is optimistic
Exactly, I think a third shot would probably be enough it looks like and I assume they can roll those out tomorrow if they get approval.
Did it in 19:30. About 20 seconds slower than my normal pace but easily explained by not running in 3 weeks due to COVID. Average heart-rate is up from 164 to 168. SpO2 holding steady at 99% before and after. Heart-rate recovery has gone from 2 minutes to 10 minutes to drop 20 BPM. Noticeably shitty but unlikely to be any cause for concern. I hope all of you dudes experiencing symptoms feel this relief soon. I will end the next motherfucker that exposes me to this shit again.
There is ongoing discussion about whether dwindling vaccine effectiveness against delta is due to mutational avoidance of nAbs or just due to the very high viral titers produced by delta that initially overwhelm the circulating nAbs leading to somewhat mild breakthroughs. If the later, a third booster would be effective, even without changing anything.
Any good studies on women getting the vaccine while pregnant? My wife was going to wait until after our son was born, but with numbers going up she's reconsidering.
Heres the general cdc info https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/pregnancy.html Also ask her doctor
