Corona virus

[Me Cook]

You sure the vaccine (second shot) when cause the illness? Or recently and coincidently when contract COVID (with mild symptoms) from being reckless during a laxed moment? Not accusing or criticizing; just asking and invading your privacy.

I when get mild (1/5) soreness at the vaccination spot twice for two days; little more soreness (2/5) at the vaccination spot for booster for three days; no other symptoms. Everybody different.

FYI, I when test twice using the rapid OTC COVID kit and both neg (starter at one golf shop tested +; two cashiers one large market tested +). Good for know but not guarans; when still follow the protocol for five days; always wear mask anyway.

I had no reaction at all with the 1st shot. With the 2nd shot It was too painful to move my whole arm that got the shot. Just like my nerves were on fire in my whole arm for almost a week. And I had a fever, headache, and body chills that lasted 3 days which started later on the same day as my vaccine shot.

So I don't know what will happen if I get another shot. I don't understand this mRNA gene therapy and what it does. Why I get no reaction to the 1st shot and a big reaction to the 2nd shot. I don't think I will chance getting another shot to find out what will happen next as the shot they now are saying only lasts for 6 months.

Thanks for your insights. I guess I would not have figured that out. And I was thinking that this was an airborne virus like the flu. I still don't know effective cloth masks are with this airborne virus. I wouldn't want my doctors wearing a cloth mask instead of a fresh surgical mask that they haven't been wearing all day. The article that Redneck1 posted seems very believable to me and said that a cloth mask won't stop me from spreading Covid to you. It said that I would have to wear a n95 mask to slow down an airborne virus, but still not prevent the virus from spreading. I am still waiting for my free n95 masks from the government so I can comply with the next government mandate..

I wear a cloth mask that has a PM2. 5 filter in a pocket inside. These are supposedly good for 12 hours of use. And you can buy them off of Amazon at something like $10 for 30, so you throw them away (if you wear your mask all day). I wear mine only when I am indoors near others, so I should really be fine for longer use. And, if I wore it two days ago, any virus particles it caught will die soon when they can't infect any cells. Right? A virus isn't a free-living organism.

On high-risk occasions, like airplanes, IK some people like to use an N95 but it isn't that comfortable. Put the N95 on your face but hold it in place w / your cloth mask. You will have really pretty good protection from this, of course nothing is perfect.

There is a chart in a recent AARP bulletin about masks, no doubt N95's are best, but a cloth mask w / a filter was 2nd best.

I am now very reluctant to go get my third vaccine shot. My second shot made me very sick for a couple of days and I don't want to go through that again. That was the only time that I got sick from any vaccine shot and I have had many during my lifetime. Now when the manufacturers are immune from any product liability, it makes me wonder how safe this vaccine really is.

You don't understand a lot. Most vaccine manufacturers deal w / liability via a large deep pockets organization. So that is not an indication of whether it is safe or not. Or, apply your logic to every vaccine.

What would you prefer? A day or two of feeling crappy (as your immune system ramps up its response to the virus protein it is seeing with a slug of interferon and interleukins), or getting intubated.

All I know is I dont get sick from the vaccine when I get my annual flu shot. I did get sick from the vaccine with my 2nd Covid shot.

No need its just the flu, LOL. I suggest hanging in bars and around people and find out for yourself. Of course don't listen to the medical professionals you should listen to guys on a fuck forum. LOL.

The article Redneck1 posted from what I can tell was done by medical researchers and not by mongers. I probably don't trust Much of the news on the tv about Covid anymore. Now I understand that we all can get 3 n95 masks for free. Is that so we can wear a new mask each month so we only need to get 3 for free? If it is still a new mask every day then that won't last too long.

I guess you don't take the flu too seriously when tens of thousands of Americans die from it every year and like not hundreds of thousands as reported with Covid. But I don't know how accurate any of the reporting is since I don't trust the news or the cdc to tell me the truth when they have a political agenda to push.

All I know is I dont get sick from the vaccine when I get my annual flu shot. I did get sick from the vaccine with my 2nd Covid shot.

The cloth mask is more to keep your spit blobs filled with virus from flying out of your mouth and hitting my face. To use the blood analogy, the blood cells are small but he cloth mask will keep your liquid blood you cough up from getting on me.

Anybody that doesn't "believe" masks help why don't you have your surgical team take off their surgical masks the next time you go in for surgery. Let them breath and cough all over your open surgical incision.

News headline yesterday:

"Hawaii sets record with 6,252 new coronavirus cases".

No masks can stop SARS-cv-2 virus particles which are smaller than red blood cells. The conventional wisdom within the medical field in the past has been that masks are not effective against upper respiratory viruses. No medical evidence that they do. In fact, you can't really stop the spread of viruses like this. It will spread, some will get sick, recover, and then produce anti-bodies against it. That is the science behind viruses.

Be safe all for the long weekend.

Can order free rapid COVID home test kits starting next Wed. (01/19): "Starting Jan. 19, Americans will be able to request four free at-home COVID-19 tests per household at COVIDTests.Gov, with kits shipping within seven to twelve days."

[Local1234]

COVID 19 (omicron) testing recommended 48-72 hours (incubation period) after notification of possible COVID 19 (omicron) infection. If you test too soon then not going be accurate; but test ASAP if you get obvious symptoms. Check the current guidance at state DOH or federal health agencies as this virus is in constant flux. Take care.

Be safe all for the long weekend.

Maybe it's Kaiser. Kaiser Save money if no need waste money on Covid tests right?

Although I don't belong to any political party, this article seems to recap nicely what as happened with the response to Covid.

Yes they may not be 100% but they will stop that spit coming out when you talk. It also helps w your drool and drival. If they don't work why don't all hospital workers get covid?

[RoadRally2]

Yep my experience was different. ER no COVID test at Kaiser. Maybe its timing--maybe they tested everyone before vaccine and early on since nobody around the world had a clue. Virus was clearly winning the war in a big way early on. I went post vaccine last year. No test.

Maybe it's Kaiser. Kaiser Save money if no need waste money on Covid tests right?

Here's another article that appears to take the same view:

http://www.npr.org/sections/health-s...ron-contagious

Excerpt: "given how contagious omicron is, experts say, it's seriously time to upgrade to an N95 or similar high-filtration respirator when you're in public indoor spaces. 'Cloth masks are not going to cut it with omicron,' says Linsey Marr, a researcher at Virginia Tech who studies how viruses transmit in the air".
