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

Two weeks ago our government loosened up the corona restrictions way too much. Many young people got infected in night clubs , student clubs and festiVals where they didn’t keep distance and used fake clearance proof they where corona - free.
One big mistake was made too. They gave a clearance one day (instead of two weeks) after vaccination. The delta variant is increasing like crazy now.

Yesterdays numbers of people tested positive and graphics of the increase. The blue line is an average of tge past week. The light blue column shows what happenes from day to day. The ‘outbreak management team’ and the government had an extra meeting yesterday.
Tonight we probably get new restrictions.

Yep, let’s shut it all down again. Here calif nothing is opening up.

Everything is open here in MO. And we lead the country in new cases, mostly Delta. Stores and businesses have signs saying, if you are fully vaccinated you don't need to mask, but if not, please mask. So what, really? Unvaccinated people are going to announce their status by masking? Oh hell no. You never see masks anywhere any more. It's an honor system. What's really happening is that vaccinated people are going back to masking. I trust the science. But I don't trust "you" - my unvaccinated fellow citizen.

This was a very good read, thanks for sharing it! I ended up staying up way too late reading other articles!

I thought it was a good article, though I really don't care much for the website.
Hopefully covid does what viruses usually do, yes become more infectious because it wants to survive, but also less deadly because again it needs us to survive. I don't think we'll ever get rid of it, but hopefully it mutates to where it isn't any different than the common cold.

Upstate NY everything open. Even county fairs.
There is still cases of course but has been on a downward trajectory.

Yeah I believe shutting down is not the answer. Humans have to build up immunity. Just like the flu bug. It takes a certain amount out every year. Even a cold can take you out in 5he right circumstances. Keep your self healthy build up your immune response, get that extra weight off. Americans are their own worse enemy.

Some of us can't build up our immune response. We're old, we've had organ transplants, or we already have autoimmune disorders that make us vulnerable. For whatever reasons, we depend on the rest of the community to protect us.

Here in the Netherlands they interviewed a large group of young people (under 30) who did get Covid but were not hospitalised. They often had mild symptoms. Sometimes the symptoms get worse after a few weeks.
25% of the younger stil have health problems after 3 months. Fatigue, headaches, (partly) loss of tast or scent.
They call it Long Covid.

What do they say/write about Long Covid in the US / other countries?

They say Pretty much the same thing


I had something in November on. A few days of a really bad cough. Never got a test because the appointments were 2wks out that I could find. I had fatigue for months until I got my 2nd shot in May. 30 hrs later I felt much better

I had Covid back in Dec. I still have long covid or the new name for it is Post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). I still lose my taste and smell randomly. One day I can taste and smell everything and the next nothing. It's very frustrating. I also developed heart problems that I now have to take medication for. I still have the brain fog, where I am constantly forgetting what I was doing or struggling to find the words I want to say. It all really sucks.
