    Wife popped positive this am, rest of us have no symptoms and tested negative.

    I swear to god she drew a line on that thing when I wasn’t looking as she laughed all the way to the basement telling me to have fun dealing with the kids for the next 5+ days.

    Went to a funeral for my cousin’s husband (cancer not Covid) on Monday. Seating order went my mom, my brother, then me. My brother tested positive that night and my mom this morning. My mom was at my house all day Tuesday keeping my daughter. Made her do an at home test before she came and it was negative.

    Any way I’m not going to get this? Vaxxed and boosted in December. (So were my brother and mom though).

    Good chance you will. This strain is considerably less liking to end up being bad for most people, but your mom and any older/vulnerable family could probably ask a doctor about getting a treatment of some sort like paxlovid to really hedge against anything.

    The more likely shit with covid variant is long covid/sequelae, which isnt particularly well understood. Most of it won't kill you, but could complicate things or make you miserable for a while after the infection goes

    What kind of posture should I be suggesting for my twice boosted parents in their late seventies at this point IYOs? (I'm usually the one to react to landscape changes first)

    Paxlovid seems to be the most reliable therapeutic at this point. Monoclonal antibodies seem to have decreased effect on the newer variants.

    If they're really high risk, Evusheld is a two-shot injection that lasts for ~6 months. It's an investigational drug, so not sure about what safety data there is for it. I believe it also shows decreased efficacy vs Omicron variants.

    Had a pretty gnarly cold last week and briefly lost my sense of smell but tested negative throughout the week/weekend along with my wife and son. Wife is a teacher and tested positive on Monday. My son and I then followed suit. This strand is fairly mild overall (even for my son, who's 2 and isn't vaccinated) and I feel pretty much back to normal today. It is odd how long it took me to test positive given my symptoms.

    so is the plan to slow walk the next set of boosters for people under age of 50 until there is something more durable with variants? I had my boost in early November and not feeling the best with cases skyrocketing, again

    I wasn’t sure about that either but I got my booster back in Oct so I’m gonna go get one on my own because who knows when they’ll give the go ahead for under 50yr old adults. It feels like they’re just wiping their hands of the matter and just wanting everyone to just expect to get it now.

    they won’t approve anything unless the wave gets as bad as peak Delta or winter Omicron so basically too late for most

    I feel like anyone living with a toddler is eligible for a 2nd booster as they are caring for someone with zero protection against the virus. That is unless we are all willing to concede now that natural immunity is best immunity.

    We went to the zoo with them a month back. Not inside, no touching or holding. We are continuing the same. The tried to say covid was done and we can return to normal. I said yeah, considering the billion people that got vaccinated have neither died nor turned into the anti-christ, they can go ahead and get the vaccine and then we can return to “normal.”

    Chicago Wedding last weekend - failed test today. So far so good. Had a fever for 12 hours and a cough that appears less than once an hour even when I was on the phone quite a bit for work. Some phlegm. Hoping for no more. Vax and 1 boost mid December

    Does seem off though that there doesn't seem to be any connections between a lot of these clusters across the globe and they are all popping up at the same time.

    the mortality difference from 28 days to 90 days going unvaxxed to vaxxed mortality going going from ~3:1 to ~5:1 is nuts. Wish they gave more context on whats going on between those 62 days

    Discussion
    We observed similar seroresponses to mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 vaccines in patients not receiving immunosuppression. However, patients receiving immunosuppression had higher mRNA-1273 vs BNT162b2 vaccination seroresponses. Differential immunogenicity was highest in the most immunosuppressed participants (SOTRs receiving mycophenolic acid or mycophenolate mofetil), with a 2.6-fold higher rate of achieving anti-RBD titers of 250 U/mL or greater.
    Limitations include self-reporting of SARS-CoV-2 infection and lack of virus neutralization testing. However, this self-report correlated well with prevaccination antibody levels, and a previous study5 correlated anti-RBD levels with neutralization capacity in vaccinated individuals.
    In conclusion, mRNA-1273 was more likely to induce stronger humoral immunogenicity compared with BNT162b2 in immunosuppressed patients; this effect was more pronounced with greater immunosuppression. These findings suggest that choice of mRNA vaccine platform is important in optimizing immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and can help inform strategies for booster doses in high-risk, immunosuppressed populations.

    Taking a trip in July so would be nice to get another shot in June….are they not giving out second boosters on request? This will be my fifth shot but one of those “fell off a truck” last August, wondering if I’ll need to hit the pharmacist up again

    I had no problem getting my 2nd booster in march just telling the pharmacist I wanted one. No other questions asked, didnt ask if I was eligible. he was just like, cool, good idea. This was a cvs.

    This isn’t for health reasons. This is for “don’t test positive and ruin an expensive non refundable trip” reasons. I’ve had 4 shots, last in Dec and got covid in March but still wouldn’t put it past this thing to ruin my trip. Plus my wife is in same boat except she’s never had it to our knowledge so even higher risk
