Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

I just got an email stating that as soon as the next round of shots are delivered, my group is next. My girlfriend just tested positive a little over 2 weeks ago...she had it pretty bad. I had to quarantine, since i had contact...so i spent 10 days with her. She is high risk, i think, because of some health conditions, so I was pretty worried. After being in close proximity with her for almost 2 weeks, i tested negative. Valentines day was her first day being ill, and tested positive the next day. I was with her the entire time. She just finally started to feel better yesterday, and got her smell and taste back. I hope only the best for anyone who gets it, and has to deal with that type of illness. She couldnt stand up for more than 2 or 3 minutes without her legs getting shaky and feeling like they were going to give out. Really scary shit.

Glad she is doing better!! She definitely went into the scary zone. Crazy that you were in close proximity, and I'm assuming that was in the same dwelling, and you didn't get it.

It's definitely a weird virus. I feel like most people lost their taste and smell (from the people I know have had it, or know people that have had it). I had it and didn't. I'm not in the best shape either, and had no respiratory issues (I had a cough if I moved too much, but as long as I was relaxing, I was fine).

I had every mainstream symptom besides the 2 worst ones (respiratory issues and taste/smell). At this point, I feel lucky for having COVID and "having it easy". In hindsight, the worst part about it was the fear of it getting bad enough to where I had to go to the hospital.

Yea..thats the total fear. I was more scared watching it happen to her. And I still would have taken it from her if I could. And all the while just waiting for the other shoe to drop and wake up sick myself. I think it rn through my workplace last jan/Feb, and I think most of my coworkers and I got it then...so I chalk this time up to antibodies. But no one really knows how this thing operates. And with new strains that may or may not be resistant to vaccine makes it worrisome. I wasn't too too worried before I saw her get it. It legitimately scared me. We got a pulse oxymeter, and a laser thermometer and just waited it out. She finally goes back to work monday...but fuckin hell...what a shitty road she went down. And not even as bad as others.
I hope you're recovering well. I def know its no fun to go through at all.

Some guys at works wives have gotten it, and they said the same thing. They felt pretty I'll for about 24 hours then snapped right out of it.

That seems to be a common theme, I have friends that happened to as well. Guess there's just a short acclimation period of a day or two before all is well.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

I work at a hospital where we treated a lot of COVID patients so we got the vaccine before most. I hope everyone reading this will get it, no matter which one is offered to you. I was given the Pfizer on Jan 26 and Feb 18. For me, nothing but sore arms both times. For some of my colleagues, sore arm on the first one, felt very tired and achy on the second one. A few were wrecked by both. But every single one of us felt better after 24 hours. No permanent damage or side effects.

Now that my parents have both been vaccinated I’ll be going to see them next weekend. The CDC may be slow to say it, but those who are fully vaccinated can get back to enjoying company with others who are too.

So get the shots when you can. It gets you a bit closer to the end of the tunnel.

Nice, thanks. I signed up for the vaccine 3 weeks ago but I'm definitely not a priority. Was hoping since my gig is essential and we're first-responder adjacent my dept. would step up but that isn't the case, they told us all to sign up through the counties where we live.

I feel that I have antibodies from my last interaction....but I'll still be getting the vaccine as soon as it's available to me. I work at Sam adams brewery in PA, and since it's considered a food production facility, I am up as soon as the next shipments come in here...and while I think I'm safe with my antibodies built up, I thinknthat the more people that get it, the more quickly the world can return to the baseline level of normal it once was.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

My wife and I got our first one on Saturday and nothing but a sore arm (2.5 out of 10 on the pain scale). We got Pfizer, but it seems like J&J is rolling out like crazy in Central and Southwest VA. We're gonna' get there!

Got my first shot lined up for the end of the month. Never been so excited to get a shot before.

Nice. The county where I live is doing such a great job of vaccine rollout they just announced a FEMA clinic is opening up next week to speed it up since we're lagging behind the other counties.

First day back in the office after a year. Got say feels pretty good, starting to get back to normal.

Stafford County?

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Brother lives in PA but works over the line in Delaware. Couldn't get a shot ,he says PA is all screwed up he was told maybe by August . My Daughter in NC set it up for him in PA and he gets his first shot on Thursday.

Anyone over age 50 can now get the vaccine in NY. Feels like momentum is finally swinging in the right direction.

Close but not quite. I live in one county and work for another. Not putting it out there bc not a fan of sharing too much on the web.

Got my first shot yesterday, last Friday signed up for one from a CVS in Richmond. I underestimated how much it was going to kick my ass, my shoulder is really sore, slept like shit bc shoulder was bothering me the entire night, and been nauseous since I woke up.

Would still do it all over again though. Just try and schedule it for the weekend or a Friday bc I'm guessing feeling like shit is pretty common the next day.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Your one of the lucky 10% Mooby. FWIW my wife got a headache and I shoulder soreness for the first but nothing on the second. Fingers crossed for you.

Day and a half later and I still can't sleep because my shoulder is so gd sore. Never had this reaction to a shot before, wish it would hurry up and pass.

Which one did you get ? My reactions were mild but the others in the family had some stuff but it cleared up in a day maybe two at the most.

It's got to. Once the vaccines are available to everyone this Country has to get back to being 100 percent open again. Yeah , masks, hand washing and sanitizer will still be around and the norm but we / the Country needs to get back out there.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Have a friend whose sister got Covid in April had a high fever and in bed for a week. Received the pfizer vaccine felt even worse after that and then last week wasn't feeling well and tested positive for Covid again. I did not say this to her because she is pretty upset about her sister but I would think of course she would test positive after having the vaccine especially if it is an antigen test. If true talk about bad luck.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Had my first shot today, Pfizer.

I was really impressed with how smooth and efficient the process was. Went to a NY state run site. Took about 20 minutes door to door.

Week and a half later and I still have a bruise on my shoulder. I think my nurse went in through my shoulder bone or something, everybody has told me that isn't normal.

Vaccinated people do not carry the virus — they don’t get sick,” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the CDC, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday. That’s “not just in the clinical trials, but it’s also in real-world data.”

This isn’t getting enough run...why?

Lotta folks who said this ended up being 100% correct...Rand Paul specifically comes to mind

No more mask shaming...it’s perfectly ok not to wear them after you have been vaccinated

Because it is just a recent study Chico. So until they are 1000 percent sure they are not going to start telling people to take off their masks. Rand Paul talks out of both sides of his ass so he is bound to hit the nail on the head eventually. Problem is that if vaccinated people take their masks off every unvaccinated person who runs with the wingnut , uber oppressed, civil liberty defender who still supports slavery crowd would be taking theirs off too.

I mean i love how your main points are ...
1) rand paul was right...again
2) people who dont wear masks or care about others are the real victims and are bullied
3) there is some conspiracy now by the media not to let us know it is safe for vaccinated people to take their masks off.
What color is the sky in your world Chico?

You either follow the science or you don’t.


Or I guess you politicized it or don’t follow it like the pathetic piece of shit teacher union. Still no evidence of schools being a transmission or breakout hotspot after mountains of data and multiple studies

Got my 1st shot of Pfizer a few hours ago at Six Flags.

Really good operation they have going there.

I registered a few weeks ago, got text yesterday.

Congrats.

Fully vaccinated as of yesterday. Shoulder is sore as a motherfucker though.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Had my 2nd shot this morning. Feeling more sore this time around but otherwise ok.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Yeah my arm was sore as hell, still is. Felt slightly "different" yesterday but went to work and did my normal routine.

That lil old lady jammed it in as far she could, never got punched with a shot like that.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Had my shot at 8:30am yesterday, by the middle of the afternoon I was exhausted. Took a 2 hour nap after work, got up to have some dinner and was back in bed by 8. Had a crappy nights sleep, kept waking up every hour or two, felt like I had a low grade fever. Still feeling wiped out today, definite brain fog that won't lift. If I wasn't working from home I'd definitely be calling in sick today. Arm is sore as heck too. Blah.
