Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #91

[wendybtn]

I am an RN who tested positive for Covid twice, once August 5 and then on Nov. 30. Sick the first time, barely any symptoms the second time. I took step one of the Modern vaccine on January 5th and felt like I had Covid again. I have never had a reaction to a vaccine in my life and I am pro-vaccine. Since I receive my second shot on Feb. 4, I have already requested to be off the four days after that. I can't work and be that sick again. Healthcare workers don't get paid in the US for being off with Covid as we are typically hourly wage earners. My advice is, if you have had Covid, wait as close to 90 days between your last positive test and the vaccine to decrease your chances of side effects from the vaccine.

We are seeing this in our patients and staff as well, even if their positive covid test was many months ago. Pretty much anyone who has already had covid, regardless of time elapsed between illness and vaccine and severity of symptoms at the time, is developing more severe side effects after getting the vaccine.

Ohio State scientists discover new, more infectious COVID-19 variant | 10tv.com

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Scientists at Ohio State have discovered a new variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 and they found the evolution of another strain.

The variant has the same mutation as the U.K. strain, but developed on its own here in the U.S.

In a release, the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center said the variant was found in one patient from Ohio so they do not know how common it is yet.

That is good information to know: thank you

Rep. Ayanna Pressley says her husband has tested positive for COVID-19. He was with her in the Capitol during the January 6 riot, including in the safe room where some Republicans refused to wear masks. "Their arrogant disregard for the lives of others is infuriating," she says.

• J&J scientists randomly assigned healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 55 and those 65 and older to receive a high or low dose of its vaccine — called Ad26.COV2.S — or a placebo.
• Most of the volunteers produced detectable neutralizing antibodies, which researchers believe play an important role in defending cells against the virus, after 28 days, according to the trial data.
• By day 57, all volunteers had detectable antibodies, regardless of vaccine dose or age group, and remained stable for at least 71 days in the 18-to-55 age group.

I have an RN friend who just had her second vaccine. She said it kicked her butt (but she was fine with the first).

BUT they are finding among the co-workers at Mayo who are in touch, is that those who had Covid had a hard time with vaccine 1, those who didn't, had a harder time with vaccine 2.

I don't know if that's anything that there are studies on yet, but it'd sure be interesting to see if that's just a fluke this group of staff at MC here have noticed, or if it's something that's actually a consistent result at all.

I hope the second vaccine isn't nearly as hard on you! Thank you for what you do!

this is disgusting - although if she regularly had two workers twice a day, that's more than my family had with my Mom for months recently (which doesn't make it right)

A global team of researchers arrived Thursday in the Chinese city where the coronavirus pandemic was first detected to conduct a politically sensitive investigation into its origins amid uncertainty about whether Beijing might try to prevent embarrassing discoveries.

The group sent to Wuhan by the World Health Organization was approved by President Xi Jinping’s government after months of diplomatic wrangling that prompted an unusual public complaint by the head of WHO.

Same thing in Kansas -- the rollout is ridiculously slow. They're supposed to start vaccinating those over 65 next month, but the latest from the state is that the vaccine won't be available to the general public until late spring through early fall. The state currently has twice as much as they've used -- and it's been that way from the get-go. They can't get their act together for some reason. It's so disappointing. I'd like to get my elderly mom vaccinated as soon as possible, but even if they start her group next month, her doctor's receptionist said it will likely be a few weeks longer in our community. Gads.

Saw a sign-up post from Riley County health department yesterday, filled out the forms but absolutely no information on when expected, very frustrating!
