    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

More deaths in 21 than in 20 is kind of a stunning statistic.

Why is that stunning or surprising at all?

Especially considering the broad availability of a safe and effective (against serious illness and death) vaccine. Oh well, Herman Cain awards are in vogue this year. Fuck em.

Have y'all gone to any protests? This is extreme. NZ but God damn.

yeah man all kinds of protests. its mostly anti vaxxers and anti-pandemic legisltation here in Victoria. And the latter is spot on as the VIC gov wants minimal checks and balances for when they can tell everyone to stay home. Government here is out of control over the top, but we know that. I would get out there too but I don't want to be with the anti vaxxers. eh. 

NZ is Australia's Australia. Even more isolationist. I get why for obviuous reasons but it is eye opening for them to act in such a manner (without doing jack shit all of nothing for anything else)

booster and/or flu shot left me congested, sneezing, and with some aches all day.

I hope you are getting better by the moment hoss. You’re one of the cool posters on here and I really hope that the side effects do not hit you really hard.
 

A friend of mine I grew up with got Covid a year ago or so. He lost his ability to taste anything for nine months. That inability to taste anything darn near killed him. He was drinking with his brother who came down from Dallas and thanks to not tasting any of the liquor he was drinking he got alcohol poisoning. 

This doesn't make sense to me.  Wouldn't the effects of inebriation provide some warning that you are over consuming whether or not you have taste buds?

He drinks regularly and paid no attention apparently to how much he had. From when I used to drink I can recall that at a certain point it all feels the same. I think normally where you might stop, even if you are wasted, did not happen for him. If it all feels like water going down I would probably have had a similar incident.

I know I'm a broken record, so apologies.  But the longer you take off from twitter/FB/instacrap the more these kind of things depress you when you see them.  Just mind boggling stupidity.  Everywhere.  Edit:  And I know I'm no genius, which means if someone like me of average intelligence can see how dumb these things are...well, doomed.  We're all doomed.

Australia locking down? And Israel deploying their intelligence community assets to track COVID cases now. With no real hard data on omicron's actual threat, some early signals and thin data and that's about it. Tough position to be in. What a world.

No outrage. Just sharing changes in government Covid policy enforcement.

I got my pfizer booster Saturday evening and it hit me like a truck yesterday. 24 hours after the shot my fever was at 104.3. I was able to bring it down to a reasonable range with Tylenol but that wasn’t fun. Today was a lower fever (101.5) but super fatigued and achy in my joints. Seems to have mostly passed at this point, I expect to be fine in the morning. 

It’s crazy how I went from feeling a little shitty but able to ignore it to cut down and carry a Christmas tree (although atypically winded from carrying the tree 100 yards), to “fuck am I dying?” and alternating between shivering and sweating a couple hours later.

Shot two was pretty bad. Third was probably 20-30% worse. 

Not sure where I posted it before so here goes again…we sorta jumped the gun and got full strength Moderna boosters in august before school started as she works at a snot factory (elementary school).

My heart rate when sober and asleep, is typically 46-48, maybe 52 when I first wake up and Fitbit says my overall RHR is ~60.  

I took my booster at 10a on a Thursday morning, woke up at 2a Friday with my heart racing at ~90 laying down.  Was shivering, sweating and super gnarly.  Was completely miserable all day.   Fine by Saturday but my heart going ape shit was impressive. 102F fever too.  

I think I had very little first shot reaction, 12 hours of flu for shot 2, and nothing on shot 3. Moderna.

Company is rolling out the new policy. 7k global employees, about 1k in the US. Get the shot or get tested every couple of weeks and wear a mask. Gnashing of the teeth from the unwashed. I learned today that there are no restrictions on emailing the global employee distribution, as some midwest production dipshit who has chosen to go for martyrdom sent a spreadsheet to all employees asking for those who support medical freedom to sign, as information for leadership.

ah good. something to look forward to in February

Got my Pfizer booster at lunch today. I only had a sore arm for the first two shots; hoping this will be more of the same. Knock on wood.

I had my 3rd moderna on 10/29/21. It felt like a hangover. No whining. No wussing.

Dammit, I don't know you personally but yall should drink more.

The history of the world is at stake.

 

"oh, my arm hurts."

It is not that hard.

ah good. something to look forward to in February

My booster was yesterday at 3 and I had some minor irritations this morning and a little headache and then all clear 24 hours after so maybe you’ll get that. I was dreading 3rd shot because of how I felt after the second one

How are you holding up, Ponderer?

Bit of a headache when I got up this morning. Kinda tired. Sore arm. All in all, no big deal.

Pfizer in May, Moderna booster last week (with a flu shot chaser).

Slightly feverish and exhausted a couple of hours before bedtime. Ibuprofen and slept it off.

Did get "Covid arm" a couple of days after the shots, which was strangely localized just to the area covered by the cushion/padding/gauze of both bandages. Hydrocortisone for the itch, and right as rain in three days.

I got Pfizer shot 3 last Monday.  No side effects.  The worst was after the second shot, my arm was sore for a day or two.  Felt like I had worked out really hard and just had general muscle soreness in the upper part of that arm.

Glad to hear that. 

Still can't smell or taste, but I am now allowed to go back in the gym.   Instead of avoiding the chin diaper wearers I now  hope they stand close to me.  On the off chance that 10 day thing is wrong.

Interesting thread (FYI, Andersen basically ghosted twitter after some of the FOIA requests related to the early discussions of lab leak hypothesis and the quick shift to zoonotic origin). Basically concludes that omicron is result of one of two scenarios: either mutation in an immunocompromised host, or human to animal reservoir back to human event.
