Thread: Local news on Covid 19

One thing that I have noticed with the numbers [Numbers..... ] is that there are many fewer cased but the age of the deaths are dropping. At least the percentage. Younger 40's to 50's.

Have these numbers been hidden in the larger numbers of older people previously? Vaccinations given to the older people first?

Lots to think about and I have no personal proof of any.

I think the answer is yes and yes. At least that's what the numbers that MDH was releasing were showing. Once the vaccines started the higher age groups went flat while the other age groups were rising during the March/April spike.

I think I'd remain a little cautious even if you had one or two doses if the Delta variant raises it's ugly head in your area.

This is in a hospital setting and not out in the general public were you would think is a little more lax wrt preventative measures than a hospital.

Well my wife may disagree to a point, but my persistent nature and tenacity has paid off.

I didn’t pick the meds they gave me at the onset, I just answered the call when made.

I am totally ok with the AZ, both in how it was formulated, how it provides its immunity protection, and the way it works. Somewhat traditionally developed, as opposed to the mRNA iterations. Not that they are bad because of that, but I am a traditionalist at heart and mind.

Maybe also biased cause I worked for AZ years ago and have actually been to the campus tThe meds are formulated at. Old school processes, time tested and dutifully followed.

Regardless, they chose my lane, and I was not changing mid treatment, whatever the experts now say.
I’m just relieved I will be considered fully vaccinated soon enough.

Stay safe all!

That's great news Mike. Talked to my buddy yesterday and both him and his wife had gotten their second dose of AZ too.

Just goes to show what can happen if a person digs their heels in hard enough.

Just got home a few hours ago.

Had my second shot today, Moderna.

I can't say I feel bad but I don't feel my usual self quite either, if this is as bad as it gets I have no poblems.

I would have written this message about 2 hours ago but I'm sitting here at my computer and just woke up, no complaints though I have a really comfy computer chair.

Just bought my loupe too.

Second shot knocked me on my ass.
Body shaking chills Sat night, about 10 hrs after my dose.
Sunday, lethargy.
Better Monday.
Boosters? Gawd I hope not..
