Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

[Winter Creek Coop]

Yes it is sad. Every life lost to this virus is a tragedy, especially when so many could have been prevented. Mask up. Wash hands. Keep your distance. Contain your cough. And get vaccinated!

My SIL and BIL mocked my DH and me today, saying we are willing to be "guinea pigs" for the vaccine. That's just silly and ignorant. The vaccine was tested on tens of thousands of people before it was approved for general use. THOSE brave people were the "guinea pigs!" And we should regard them as heroes. The vaccines are safe and over 90% effective. They will stop the spread, save lives and get us back to normal! Just Do It!

Someone just posted that their friend was paralyzed from the vax but you declare it is SAFE and being concerned about it is silly. Hmm not too silly to those injured by the vaccine.

Still a lot safer than driving to the site to get the vaccine.

I wouldn't mock anyone who decides to get the vaccine now--we were waiting for it to be available to us. But my friend laying in the hospital paralyzed made me now want to wait and see. still masking/distancing

Is the issues with the vaccines because of the vaccines, or allergic reactions?

Not old enough for the vaccine, but my parents got it. They are both fine.

reactions

Thats what I thought. To be expected with vaccines.

 

[cheepteach]

yes-- but paralysis is a severe reaction. It scares me

still masking/distancing

Which should be done whether one is vaccinated or not, IMO.

 

[chickentrains]

mask orders have ended, and Im angry. I don't leave the house

 

[cheepteach]

you can still create a barrier for yourself by wearing a mask
