COVID-19

[mikey]

I'm not the jinx here...nor is this my own googlization...

The variants of this virus has been relatively slight, so - as I pointed out several pages ago - I knew we were gonna see out of context quotes and all kinds of theatrics once progress started to be made...and there were. And then, probably quietly, it would be all like, "oh yeah, nevermind, we're largely pretty good..."

Clearly, that doesn't mean we're there yet or out of the woods or that we can just start sneezing in Texas buttholes yet...because not all vaccine wanters are vaccine getters yet...but mutations of this seem predictably and particularly slight, and that was the expected result given how successful the virus was in the first place...

tif (I think?) had a point recently about, now, hurry up and get people vaccinated so that you don't get into actual, potentially worse mutations...but we have donkeys in charge of the proceedings, so who knows...but hopefully the "nightmare scenario" guesswork done by the media is put to bed and replaced with a "without being the c-word, get yourself vaccinated so that things can go back to normal-ish", which is a boring, but important middle ground between their typical "you and everyone you know is going to die!" and "surf's up, dude, everything is fine go out and party like it's any other time in history except the last 12 months..."

My guess is that the study in the tweet I posted looked at something different than what the guy in NTP's looked at. Like he only looked at surface level immune response, but the study went more in-depth?

Wow, I'm so, so, so surprised that the doom and gloom talk of variants and "nightmare" scenarios and all that is going to turn out to be mostly edge cases...

Don't you **** jinx it you NTP66

dude likes SPACs, everything he says is sus

[King Colby]

I mean we were told the UK variant is 70% more infectious and were all **** by March.

Is anyone here NOT getting the vaccine when they are able to? @Nittany Ned @Ted

Potentially me. Concerned about autoimmune response.

My finance has an autoimmune disorder (anti phospholipid syndrome) and has had both doses of Pfizer. Not sure what you're dealing with (and it's none of my business) but there's that.

How can money have an autoimmune disorder?

@mikey: See what you did?

[meow]

I will fight that variant naked. I am not afraid

[King Colby]

Just wear a butthole mask

[mikey]

I'll take on anything that thinks it can swallow...

[count2infinity]

How many people here actually got Covid? NAN and KC for sure. Am I missing anyone?

[meow]

That’s a hippo violation

For real though, I’m concerned about @offsides

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

I gave blood a few weeks ago and i'm curious to see about antibodies. my results haven't came back yet tho

I think Om Kane fessed up recently

[nocera]

Can we create some sort of registry so that they have to identify themselves as COVID cases anytime they post in a new thread?

Om and PB

Avatars. Scarlet letter style.

[King Colby]

Although I'm still concerned about @offsides

How do we look into this?

[dodint]

He left here in early January and logged into the old board in February. He probably just hates the Pens distributing loser points and got tired of watching.

How hard could it be to find a 70 year old car enthusiast in Wershington? Eh, never mind

That’s like...45% of the total population. Easy.

It would be like finding a needle in a needle stack

So waiting after Heinz Field Clinic. If they do another this is the way to go. Park at Stage AE, go in Champions Club entrance, they check your paperwork and insurance, give you the shot, wait 15 min to make sure there’s no reaction, and done. Many people to direct you. Very well done.

Your second is scheduled same time 3 weeks later.

[dodint]

Pfizer, then. Nice.
