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

Good night! I'm staying up because I'm too amped right now. I appreciate you. And I was sure to say that to my healthcare providers today. I know they've had it rough and they should be thanked...even if it takes 4 hours...

I am so sorry this happened. That nurse should not have said that, only made it worse. I'm sure she is overwhelmed and stressed out herself.
Praying for comfort

Are they recommending everyone keeps boosting every 6 months?

At the present time it is recommended for the immunocompromised and over 50. My gut is that the virus continues to mutate we will graduate to an annual modified vaccine.

Like the flu. One hopes.

The nurse said I was "being a big baby".

Totally unacceptable!! I can swallow 5 or 6 pills at a time, DD1 ha trouble with one.

I think that is "over 60".

Not at this time. They aren't at all sure how efficacious the current vaccines will be against future variants. As it is, with Omicron, the mRNA vaccines haves dropped to the level of the J&J - you might have symptoms but you won't likely end up in the hospital or morgue. Originally the mRNAs kept 90+% of people from getting a symptomatic case.

Well my dads wife is in the hospital with pneumonia. Not covid, just a cold. And she had the pneumonia vaccine.

Sorry to hear that, prayers.
Yes the vaccine only helps with a few kinds of pneumonia

I understand there are 2 pneumonia vaccines to be taken a year apart. They want you to get them when you hit 65. I had my first last December so should get the other one this December.

Last Saturday DD2 told us just before dinner she was going to a friend's house after diner for a "few days". Sunday DW and I went to visit her parents as usual. When we got home DD's car was here, she was up in her room.

I asked if we had pulled a Rip Van Winkle or something and miss a few days. Turns out this friend just got back from CO and was notified Sunday that someone they were with tested positive for Covid. So DD was hiding in her room. Her friend tested and DD found out Monday that it was positive.

She is now confined to the upstairs, her bedroom and the bathroom only. Fortunately our bedroom is downstairs and the "preferred shower" bathroom is as well. DW won't go upstairs at all which is a bit of a problem because her computer is in a room between DD's bedroom and the bathroom.

I put a mini fridge in the upstairs bathroom along with some of DD's cereals. She has ice, juice, milk and whatever else I put in the mini. I deliver dinner outside her room.

She will do a home test tomorrow. Given I'm very sure she and her friend were not social distancing and masking Sat night and however long she was there Sunday and he tested positive Monday, I'll be very surprised if she isn't also positive even though she is boosted. I have no idea of his vaccination status.

She was planning to head up to Canada in a week to hang with DD1 after her classes end. But Canada requires that you have at least 10 days since you had a positive test. DW was planning to head up the following Tue or Wed and the 3 of them along with all of DD1's stuff packed in 3 cars would bring everything back here.

All that is now up in the air and dependant not only on DD's test but also on DW not getting Covid from her. I'm pretty sure 2 cars won't be enough space to move DD1's stuff. DD1 has a backup plan as she has some friends that can store the rest of her things until we head back up for graduation May 16th. We don't understand a 3 week separation between finals and graduation either.

Good luck/ wait and see what the test says . Lots of people don’t get infected by his omicron Corona virus after close contact.
