Community Covid-19 Check-in Post!
Monday, March 23, 2020 by Island Dog | Discussion: Everything Else
This is certainly an interesting time right now. I know many of us around the world are social distancing, self-quarantining, or whatever phrase you are using for it.
So let's take a moment and check-in here and let the community know how you're doing during all this.

Had a covid scare this week. Turned out to just be a really nasty cold though. Forgot what those were like.

They say a mild case, but feels like the worst flu I ever had.

Three staff members with mild URI symptoms tested positive last week. All had mild illnesses resolving in 3-4 days & are back to work. I've had a steady dribble of patients reporting positive home tests, almost daily, the past 2 weeks. So far, no one very ill. Don't know how I've dodged the bullet, but the Fat Lady ain't even warming up yet.
That is all.

My Brother in Law didn't get it when his wife did.
We plan to lock him up in the basement and milk him for his blood....

Seems I'm gonna make it, guys. It ain't done with me yet, but I'm wearing it down!

Danged if I ain't coughing up the purtiest range of colors. Mostly avocado green and banana yellow.

I have both shots plus the booster.
To those who doubt the pandemic is real.
Get your shots. Stay Safe.
Speedy recovery to you Jim!

And in addition to what Chasbo said, I have had both shots and still got it. Although, as bad as it is, I'm sure I have a milder case than if I hadn't had my shots.
Thanks Chuck.

Follow-up to above reply from me:
For one of the staff, this was her second bout of COVID. The first was November 2020; she got 2 doses of vaccine in 2021 and got the second bout anyway. Seeing a moderate number of people now having second bouts despite doing everything "right."
And pull through stronger than before, RND.

The vaccinations cause antibodies specific to Covid alpha strain's (the first Covid-19) connector stalks. Delta had mutations in those weakening those specific antibodies which were specific to alpha. Omicron had even more mutations. Thus, despite having antibodies to alpha through illness or vaccination, one can contract Corona repeatedly. There is some good news, though: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2022/01/05/1070046189/a-texas-team-comes-up-with-a-covid-vaccine-that-could-be-a-global-game-changer
