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

I am so sorry. That isn’t right. My DH has a new dr. They are refusing to see him unless he gets the booster. They say it is to protect the dr. I think it is BS

Sounds like he needs a newer doctor. My doctor just asked if Id been exposed in the last two weeks and if I had symptoms, also if I was vaxxed. A mask was required however

My doctor doesn't have a problem with me. He knows I'm not out running the streets. I even have 1 hospital I can go to now. It took forever to find good places and get them to work with me.

Why didn’t they offer him monoclonal antibodies?

Hear there is a big shortage now after the Fed Govt bought up tons of it. Heard there wasn't before that. (shouldn't be a shortage have had plenty of time to ramp up production must be someone asleep at the wheel)
Same with test kits, yes they were in short supply around here but you could still find places that had them, now that Govt is buying millions of them I don't see them anywhere.

Little covid rant on the test kits...

"NY Gov. Hochul pushes millions of COVID test kits for schools to keep kids in classrooms"
"It's our responsibility to supply as many of our districts as we possibly can so that they can supply as many kids as they possibly can with kits. So I just wanted to reiterate some of the numbers - it's about 6 million tests - three million kits that will go out this week."
That's to the 731 school districts across the state."
(we didn't bother picking any up because twenty mile round trip and didn't figure we needed them beings all of us recently had covid)

To add to that NY now accepts home test positives for their covid tracking #s, don't have to go get a 'official' test after anymore.

One of our daughters didn't feel good stayed home from school mon tue wed, went to school all day thur no prob (pretty sure she was just having anxiety about a teacher she doesn't like).
Yesterday they call her to nurses office first thing, question her about why she stayed home beginning of the week. She told them she had a headache those days.
Welp we get a call to come pick her up because 'symptom' of covid and can't come back to school until negative covid test....
DW asks if she can just use one of the covid test kits the school is distributing. "We don't accept that, you have to go to a doctor or testing site"
DW asks then why do you have them? "just for parents peace of mind" nurse says.

I say that doesn't even make sense, I look it up on NY.gov and see it does say some schools and businesses may not accept them. DW says maybe they want it in a 'controlled environment'
Yeah, we go to a Walgreens, drive through, she sticks it up her nose herself in our car and hand it back to them, real 'controlled environment'.

So if any of you all are upset about not being able to find test kits, thank Govt for cornering the market on them distributing them to people who may not even need them, and to people that they don't even count have to go get another 'official one'.
That and Govt being asleep at the wheel not ramping up testing, instead relying on vaccination to stop covid and just now figuring out vaccinated, vaccinated with booster, still get covid.

In other news, guess covid affects some a little more than others,
may be a little inappropriate for some

And all along I thought it was old age. Loved the part about the 'rehab'. Wonder what that consists of.

All the government is doing by mailing citizens 1 test is wasting an awful lot of money for what? Ok send them out cool everybody has a test heck everybody is + ok now what. No different than yesterday except upping the debt a bit and no tests for people who otherwise would actually need it

I am really disgusted by the government way of handling this mess. Does no one have any common sense any more.
