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

We've been keeping up masking because we're all waiting on our boosters, me particularly because I had the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. I also feel really uncomfortable with the idea of spreading it to kids because my area is having an outbreak right now with school age kids. Otherwise it's business as usual for us.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Having a visible sign of vaccination status brings to mind yellow, six-pointed stars a little too much for my comfort level.

Me too.

Is Captain Tripps on his way? Saw an article today predicting a high flu season. Just thinking out loud.

Had to look up that reference ... Not a King fan.

Last year was very low flu because people were doing the masking and social distancing thing. There will be more flu this year since those things are no longer mandated though some, like me, plan to use the Covid precautions as flu precautions as well. The older we get the more likely some illness will be a lot worse than it was when we were young.

Well that will make things "interesting". Without a common test there is no way to compare test results from one area to the next.

Why is the test being used not consider fda approved by now? The vaccine was.

Decreasing now so I guess the chip they injected has about finished sending data

Vaccinated people think the shot is a get out of covid free card

How many vaccinated people do you know? We are vaccinated and certainly don't think that, and all the vaccinated people I know don't think that either.

I work at a print shop and up and till now( i guess?) We werent.allowed to laminate vaccine cards. We had today some people who had just recieved their booster come in and they were given a whole new vaccination card to reflect they had their booster. I was upposed to laminating their card's but they insisted that its allowed now

Not as a form of shaming or anything but wouldn't it be nice if there was some indication that the vaccine had "taken" and you could feel safer out in public? Or know that it didn't and there is now no way in this world you want to be out where there are people who could be dispersing Covid?

I figure since no vaccine is 100 percent, everyone is a potential spreader. So an indicator would just further divide them against us. .... along with fueling the biblical connotation fears

Everyone that I work with is. My boss specifically said "I cant get covid because I'm vaccinated". So thats about 10 people. Plus my sister, father, hubbys parents, 3 people my hubby works with, my neighbors so thats 2 people. So I know at least 19 people who are vaccinated. Also two of those 3 my hubby works with just got covid.

My brother and sister in law both have covid, as of a couple of days ago.. She went to the hospital yesterday. She is in her 40s, slim, very fit, no known underlying health issues. When she first got there, they said no to the monoclonal thing and weren't going to admit her but she got worse as she was there. They admitted her and are giving her the treatment. He says he is doing ok, he is home with their kids.
