https://www.businessinsider.com/ame...eamed-police-new-orleans-arrest-report-2021-7 I got to witness this Friday morning. Still not sure why the plane even starting moving as the lady wasn’t wearing her mask during boarding.
Yep, so my wife and I both tested negative (thus far) on PCR tests for COVID but our 4 year old tested positive after she had a slight fever today and a slight bit of congestion. So no daycare this week and she's just as hyper and annoying as ever lol. Fucking toddlers, mostly, shrugging off a global pandemic like it's nothing and sucking every bit of energy from my being.
I’d rather she not got it than call it the trump vaccine, at this point the people that haven’t gotten it have fucked everything up past the point of no return
It's not past the point of no return because if they get vaccinated the problem gets solved. She can call it whatever the fuck she wants if it gets some inbred morons in Arkansas to get vaccinated
Great now she wants people in Arkansas to have internet access and be functionality literate. A few decades of education budget cuts late here Sarah.
Since this is going to be brought up by antivaxxers soon, and the more "sophisticated" of them seem to follow this evolutionary biologist stumping for it, who has a bone to pick with cancel culture, making the usual rounds in certain media circles, here's a thread on critiquing a recent study making an ivermectin claim
So my last remaining family member finally got his first dose of the vaccine. My uncle has been one of the most concerned people regarding covid yet hadn’t gotten the vaccine because he had a friend get it and they got sick for a few days so he’s been on the fence for awhile about getting it. Well unfortunately the architect he was working for just died from covid at 47 and it scared the shit outta him and I guess it finally hit home that he needed to get the vaccine. Sad it took that to finally make him realize he needed it but at least he finally woke up.
pperc I know with original COVID you had individuals who were asymptomatic (or very little symptoms at all) for the duration of their infection, is that still happening in the unvaccinated population with Delta strain or are virtually all unvaccinated individuals infected with it falling ill?
I know this man and I’ve been following his battle with covid and it’s great that he was able to recover and is helping to spread the word about the importance of the vaccine. He caught covid before the vaccine was available and spent 46 days on a vent. At one point they had him on some artificial lung apparatus because his lungs just stopped. https://www.nwahomepage.com/news/dr...a9H4Vddzu8HoLLCNik7smGIOSAw-lhkjinIF416BIPchI
From BBC: Wales and Scotland have vaccinated 90% of those aged 18 and over with at least one dose, while England has reached 88% and Northern Ireland 82%.
So if their wave lasted a month, how long will ours last with us being more spread out and unvaccinated.
Just like I'm seeing with my own daughter, people are testing positive much quicker with the Delta variant. She tested positive on a PCR less than 48 hours from being exposed to my mother-in-law. That means this is going to spread and possibly overwhelm more hospital systems but it will probably plateau faster.
Seems unreasonable with them having a much higher vaxxx rate, which probably determined the r value? ours is 20 points lower
Yep. Our first dose % is not as good as the UK. ETA: our adult pop is at 73%, but total Americans is at 57%. That's a lot of ppl at risk. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/ "So far, 188 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine—73.1% of the adult population. At least 163 million people have completed a vaccination regimen."
Seems like England peaked the week after the Euro Final (which was July 11) which would seem to agree with this.
this is probably a dumb question but... Friday night into Saturday morning my daughter (4) was sick and vomiting. she had a low grade fever, but by late afternoon on Saturday she seemed back to normal. Sunday morning I woke up with severe diarrhea and a fever around 102 and basically couldn't move all day. woke up this morning with no fever and pretty close to normal aside from some lingering uneasiness in my stomach. safe to assume this was just a stomach bug and not covid related, right? only reason I ask is because my daughter goes to daycare part-time in the summer.
probably safe to assume that, I had something similar right after I got my second pfizer shot a few months ago. You may want to go get a test for peace of mind though
It's pretty well established at this point the Delta variant is infecting people faster. https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/5-things-to-know-delta-variant-covid https://medical.mit.edu/covid-19-updates/2021/07/are-things-different-delta HTH
Appreciate the links. The way you framed it with your personal situation hit me wrong. Your conclusion might be right, as you stated, probably, but not necessarily. The relative R0 is more likely to be impacted by vax % than onset of infection imo.
Has anyone thought of starting a rumor with the Q right wing lunatics that Tucker Carlson is a plant by the democrats to kill off republican voters by being anti-vaccine, therefore handing over a generation of elections to the liberals?
To be clear my daughter was showing symptoms after less than 48 hours. Of course vaccination rates affect this, but we're still seeing very quick spread among unvaccinated people in places where at least 50-60% of the population has had one shot. In the Atlanta Metro area where I'm at, vaccination rates are higher and so the spread is a little less severe than in the rural counties, but it's still happening at a very quick rate like it was in the winter. I don't remember the doctor's name, but on NPR this morning he was echoing this as well, highly vaccinated communities are still seeing a ton of spread because their community will now need a higher percentage vaccinated people to reach herd immunity with a more infectious variant.
I'm expressing frustration at none of the covid vaccines being approved for kids, but a cdc announcement reminding people that you will very likely be sending your kids back in person without the one vaccine we're all really focused on right now
Yeah, this is why your prior post hit me so weird. You've been on top of this all the way through, as evidenced by this post, but the post I replied to came across as a strange divergence from your prior understanding of the science (as I tried to focus on, likely due to your personal experience and natural human instinct to extrapolate from that experience).
Didn't say they werent, and I get it that they kinda have to say SOMEthing since R state govs have kinda started dismantling vaccine mandates in some states, but it's p tone deaf imo with the rest of the state of things, like kids' approvals for vaccines seemingly at a standstill
