Any of this could be why I’m still feeling poorly then. Thank you for this. I’m female, well under 55 and possibly exposed repeatedly at my job so possible that I had Covid asymptomatically.

A study published this week in The Lancet, a medical journal, found 13.5 per cent of people reported side-effects after one dose of Pfizer-BioNTech and 22 per cent reported it after their second dose.

It found a larger number of people — 37.7 per cent — reported side-effects after getting their first dose of AstraZeneca.

Headache and fatigue were more common in women and all side-effects were more likely if people had previously been infected with COVID-19.

It also found people younger than 55 were more likely to have side-effects.

Dr. Joseph Blondeau, head of clinical microbiology at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, says that may be because younger people have a more robust immune system that’s quicker to respond.

He adds that stronger side-effects among some people during their second dose is likely because a person’s body has already been primed by the first dose.

Miami Centner Academy teacher warned kids against hugging COVID-vaccinated parents for more than 5 seconds

A fifth-grade math and science teacher at the Centner Academy told her students on Wednesday morning that COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous, and warned that if their mothers and fathers have been vaccinated, they should not hug their parents for more than five seconds. A 10-year-old girl immediately emailed her mother from her school laptop.

That's so odd!

I can understand some of the school administrators asking teachers, parents, students to be cautious, but that's beyond the pale.

And, I may be wrong, but not hiring a person because they got a vaccine seems to go against HIPPA rules. Teachers should be able to seek a vaccine if they so choose without risking their jobs.

That is really, really good. Great effort with lockdowns, restrictions and vaccinations! Hope it keeps going well.

The challenge will be coming now as we begin to open up again. From mid May people can visit another household indoors again and restaurants will open for indoor dining. I'm hoping that with the vaccine rollout going so well (currently available to all over 42 years old, the age lowers at a decent pace) that will be a big help. Fingers crossed and all that!

First doses of Pfizer’s US-made COVID-19 shots sent to Mexico as pressure grows on US to help other countries.

The vaccine shipment, produced at Pfizer’s Kalamazoo plant in the state of Michigan, marks the first time the drugmaker has delivered abroad from US facilities after a Trump-era restriction on dose exports expired at the end of March.

A deal Pfizer signed with the White House last year had barred it from shipping doses made in the US to other countries until after March 31.

Priyanka Chopra urges fans to help India where COVID-19 death toll tops 200,000 | Daily Mail Online

"India's coronavirus disaster deepened on Thursday with the nation reporting 3,645 deaths in 24 hours and total deaths surpassing 200,000.

Confirmed new cases in India hit a new global record of more than 379,000.

However, the official numbers are widely believed to be far below the reality.

In many Indian cities, hospitals are running out of beds as relatives of the sick crowd jostle for medicines and oxygen cylinders.

Family members have taken to social media to beg for oxygen cylinders for their loved ones.

More than 40 countries have committed to sending India vital medical aid, particularly oxygen amid a severe shortage, India's Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said.

The supplies include almost 550 oxygen-generating plants, more than 4,000 oxygen concentrators, 10,000 oxygen cylinders as well as 17 cryogenic tankers.

Hundreds of thousands of doses of Covid-19 treatment drugs as well as raw materials to produce vaccines were also being sent."
 
US State Department urges Americans in India to leave NOW as COVID-19 crisis worsens

"The US is urging Americans in India to leave as soon as possible as the country's deepening COVID-19 crisis worsens at high speed and some US citizens say they are being turned away from hospitals due to a lack of space.

The State Department has issued a Level 4 travel advisory, which is the highest alert of its kind, and urges US citizens to not travel to India or leave the country if they can.

The alert is urging Americans who want to leave to take advantage of commercial flights that are running.

There are currently 14 direct daily flights between India and the US and several other options that have transfers in Paris and Frankfurt.

It is not clear if the US plans to cancel flights from India like the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Dubai already have."

Question: Should the US cancel flights from India? What do you think?

Maybe the US government should take more restrictive measures.

US still hasn't ordered travel restrictions for India | Daily Mail Online

"The US government is finally set to enforce travel restrictions from India where medics say 30,000 people are dying every single day, bodies are piling up in the streets and three different types of its homegrown variant are ravaging the country.

The ban, which only applies to non-US citizens, won't come into effect until next Tuesday.

The announcement comes two days after the State Department issued a Level 4 travel advisory, which is the highest alert of its kind, urging all Americans to leave India if they can because of the current COVID-19 outbreak there.

The alert also advises Americans not to travel to India as the country experiences a catastrophic second wave that is, in part, fueled by a deadly Indian variant known as B.1.617. India saw its deadliest day yet, with more than 3,600 Covid fatalities, on Wednesday. More than 380,000 new infections were reported yesterday.

Until now, there was no word on whether the US government would issue any travel restrictions despite there already being bans in place on the UK, South Africa, Brazil and a number of European countries.

Each day, 14 direct flights are arriving in the US from India, packed with people fleeing a catastrophic second wave."
