Covid- 19 - Second wave

[Master]

I have booked my dad for his first vaccine next week and I may get one as well if they offer me one when I take him.

Did I hear your lockdown is being extended? Many years ago I read a book about viruses. It was written by an MD who specializes in such things but he wrote it for laymen. Gotta be honest it was a while ago I read it can’t remember a lot but it left me with a deep respect for what viruses can do and how they mastered the art of survival. It ran through a few scenarios of future pandemics, I don’t recall him writing what we are seeing today but some of his possibilities were very grim, I think he left out the whole economic and political impact as that wasn’t the point of the book but viruses have really shed all unnecessary shit as they evolved and are very efficient at doing what they do, as we see. The mutation stuff is pretty amazing. So I think by now, I’m over 10 past my first shot, I think my body should have developed antibodies by now. I’m like 10 days or so away from my second shot.

I think one aspect that may hold some people back is the fact behaviorally nothing changes even when you have both shots. You still gotta wear masks, social distance, maintain the stepped up hygiene. I think I read for air travel and cruises you still need to undergo a covid test. I’m not complaining I’m just explaining. That’s how it is. I mean there is a possibility I could be fired if the catch me without a mask at work. I haven’t seen that happen but I know they sent out an email about it. It’s just weird how it changes nothing in that regard. I actually asked our MD how a vaccinated person could spread the illness. Is it long on me or in my nose and shit and I’m immune to it but I can still breathe it out on others? He said “we just don’t know” yup, that’s the answer you get. Well that’s the answer I got anyway. Just weird.

The new variant may be more deadly than the first and the lockdown will continue until the least end of February. On the bright side the deaths are not going up and the vaccine programme is well underway.

The "Managers" husband has it. Found out this morning but only after one of the receps had to pull it out of the boss man with 101 questions. Apparently she went in yesterday and stayed in one of the surgery rooms for 7 friggin hours. Did not come out and wore a mask (first time) all day. I was off but needless to say staff feels there is deception and bullshit afoot. Word is she will be off a while..it's 'word is' because boss man won't be a professional adult and hold a short staff meeting to fill us in. You know..be honest and have your peoples backs. When asked by text if she was being tested she responded only if she shows symptoms and really does not want to get tested because "I don't want info in some data base" . That right there is a direct result of all the conspiracy boogeyman politicized BS this has become. Basically boss man has turned into a tin foil hat fuck face gambling with health of everyone in the building as well as hundreds of clients. We're minimal staff now and frankly burn out is very real. This is an individual with direct exposure refusing to be tested..a fuckin MANAGER! If she comes back without doing so, if that is allowed, I'm done. There's a chance she already knows she has it and has exposed the entire clinic. I cannot express enough how much I hate liars. They can fook right off.

For someone who doesn't believe in COVID, you sure spend an extraordinary amount of time and energy ragging on people who do.

What's it to you... and why the strange need? COVID deniers are by and large cynical, angry people.

Ok just heard “because of el kabong I broke my news blackout” that the current crop of vaccines doesn’t protect against new strains coming around. Ya this is going to be weird

[NoSavingByTheBell]

That's what I'm talking about walrus. They are dogging everybody on the first vaccine and then it's six to eight months they're going to say it is not effective against the second strain and the third strain and the fourth strain. My friend called me from Amsterdam in the Netherlands about 3 hours ago and told me that the whole country is locked down worse than any country in the world and they now have four strains and maybe possibly a fifth strain in the Netherlandd

the african american men who participated in the tuskegee syphilis study were told that they were receiving free health care from the federal government of the united states. but trust in the powers that should not be, they have your best interests at heart

I have to say I agree with this. I just received a text message from the health department of the city that I just moved from in December which is Irving Texas that I will receive $1,300 if I go and take the trial vaccine. HELL NO AND I WOULDN'T CARE IF THEY OFFERED ME $13,000 I WOULD NOT TAKE IT.

I shit you not my wife’s coworkers son is an MD. He called his father and told him to pass on the vaccine as he was reading a study that aids may have come about through some vaccination program they were doing in Africa. I keep forgetting to read up on that as o have never heard such a thing but I don’t dismiss anything. I don’t have blind faith in anything. I accepted this shot on my own accord and let’s just say I wasn’t jumping for joy on my way to get it. I did have a reaction to my first shot, a very noticeable vertigo. Had to take a day off work, couldn’t drive with my head spinning. Since I work in the healthcare sector they will make this thing mandatory at some point. I’m just so sick of hearing covid blasted at us 24/7 I went ahead and did it. Not telling anyone else to, if my coworkers ask I do tell them about the side effect I had. It wasn’t pleasant, I timed it with the chronometer on my omega speedmaster it lasted about 18 hrs. The arm pain is much greater than a tetanus shot, kinda surprised me as I’m pretty tolerant to pain, I didn’t expect it to bother me that much. Anyway like I said I still gotta do the whole mask thing, really nothing changes much after your vax and not even a month after I get my first shot I find it may be pretty much useless anyway. So more lockdowns, more people losing businesses, more stimulus, wtf man.

because the consequences resulting from peoples fear to this thing they don't even know exists are very real. throwing labels on people now? there was no anger in my post

Right on cue. It's not about being "afraid" it's about leadership being responsible adults and running a professional operation while minimizing risks to employees who cannot just 'stay home'..in any job.

risk of what? your belief? surely you would be able to tell me how you know there is a risk of catching covid through the air or off surfaces. it's your own fault that you are reliant on the dollar to survive & can't live off the land

That’s good, I mean death rates not going up. I guess we are getting a little more organized 1.3 million people were poked Monday I think they broke that Tuesday but I just read that in an email update. That’s another thing with the vaccine, I should say when I got my first poke these other variant weren’t big news so staying masked up and social distanced after the vaccine had nothing to do with these mutations. This was actually the suggested protocol from the vaccine makers I believe. Now the variants. Have the mutated to where these current vax are effective to protect you from them? The general consensus I get is yes they are. But then I heard Pfizer is Moderna isn’t. Then I hear about additional variants on top of the mutations already mentioned. Now virus mutates. They mutate when they enter your body. It’s what they do. But do we have a covid-20 now or just the usual mutations of the 19. I think an honest doctor would probably say “we don’t know” so yeah where are we going now. I guess we are gonna find out one way or another
