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

I heard most of the cases (not all) were in children under 5, so most were not vaccinated. I have been following as I have a 15 year old grandson.
Also heard it may be related to adenovirus.

I hope this is figured out quickly.

That's what I heard as well but I haven't been following it closely. My brain has been on the Depp v. Heard trial.

Okaaaay, that is something I wouldn't spend 1 brain cell on.

It's a little peek into the private life of the insanely wealthy. I didn't know he owned an island in the Bahamas. But I do now. Mo money mo problems though. Like marrying a fake narcissistic woman who tries to ruin your life and career to further her own. It's reality tv but it's real. There are so many "reality tv" shows that are 100% a lie.

Interesting. Israel was a good choice for this because all EMS calls in the country are logged in one place and the vaccination window was smaller than most and more complete than most.

CA is Cardiac Arrest, ACS is Acute Coronary Syndrome

I deleted the references to footnotes for clarity, they are, of course, available in the link.

"assessing the connection between myocarditis and other potential cardiovascular conditions, and the COVID-19 vaccines is challenging. First, self-reporting systems of adverse events are known to have self-reporting bias and both under and over-reporting problems...

Second, myocarditis is a particularly insidious disease with multiple reported manifestations. There is vast literature that highlights asymptomatic cases of myocarditis, which are often underdiagnosed as well as cases in which myocarditis can possibly be misdiagnosed as acute coronary syndrome. Moreover, several comprehensive studies demonstrate that myocarditis is a major cause of sudden, unexpected deaths in adults less than 40 years of age, and assess that it is responsible for 12–20% of these deaths. Thus, it is a plausible concern that increased rates of myocarditis among young people could lead to an increase in other severe cardiovascular adverse events, such as cardiac arrest (CA) and ACS...

Third, myocardial injury and myocarditis is prevalent among patients with COVID-19 infection. As COVID-19 vaccine rollouts often take place with background community COVID-19 infections, it could be challenging to identify whether increased incidence of myocarditis and related cardiovascular conditions, such as CA and ACS, is driven by COVID-19 infections or induced by COVID-19 vaccines. Moreover, such increases may even be caused by other underlying causal mechanisms indirectly related to COVID-19, for example, patients delaying seeking emergent care because of fear of the pandemic and lockdowns.

This study aims to explore how additional data sources, such as those from emergency medical services (EMS), can complement self-reporting vaccine surveillance systems in identifying COVID-19 related public health trends. More specially, the study examines the association between CA and ACS incidents in the 16–39-year-old population and two potential causal factors: COVID-19 infection rates and COVID-19 vaccine rollout. The study leverages the Israel National EMS (IEMS) data system and analyzes all calls related to CA and ACS events over two and a half years, from January 1st, 2019, throughout June 20th, 2021....

The study’s time period spans 14 months of a ‘normal period’ prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine rollout (1/2019–2/2020), about 10 months of a ‘pandemic period’ with two waves of the pandemic (3/2020–12/2020), and about 6 months of a ‘pandemic and vaccination period’ (1/2021–6/2021), during which Israel launched its vaccination rollout parallel to a third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, it allows to study how CA and ACS call counts change over time with different background conditions and potentially highlight factors that are associated with the observed temporal changes....

The main finding of this study concerns with increases of over 25% in both the number of CA calls and ACS calls of people in the 16–39 age group during the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in Israel (January–May, 2021), compared with the same period of time in prior years (2019 and 2020), as shown in Table 1. Moreover, there is a robust and statistically significant association between the weekly CA and ACS call counts, and the rates of 1st and 2nd vaccine doses administered to this age group. At the same time there is no observed statistically significant association between COVID-19 infection rates and the CA and ACS call counts. This result is aligned with previous findings which show increases in overall CA incidence were not always associated with higher COVID-19 infections rates at a population level as well as the stability of hospitalization rates related to myocardial infarction throughout the initial COVID-19 wave compared to pre-pandemic baselines in Israel. These results also are mirrored by a report of increased emergency department visits with cardiovascular complaints during the vaccination rollout in Germany as well as increased EMS calls for cardiac incidents in Scotland."

My sister went to the ER on Tuesday with severe tiredness and body aches. They did not give her a covid test. On Wednesday she tested positive for covid. She said she could barely stay awake which is why she forgot to call me Thursday. Her and her husband have it. But just body aches and tiredness.

Colorado inmate is 1st human case of bird flu in US
The man was in direct contact with infected poultry on a farm.

Colorado inmate is 1st human case of bird flu in US
The man was in direct contact with infected poultry on a farm.
https://abcnews.go.com/Health/colorado-inmate-1st-human-case-bird-flu-us/story?id=84395779

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said the man, who is under age 40, was involved in culling poultry that were presumed to be infected with the virus.
Definitions of presumed: to undertake without leave or clear justification
: to suppose to be true without proof
: to take for granted
Colorado health officials detected the virus in a single nasal specimen from the man and the result was confirmed by the CDC on April 27.
The man was asymptomatic and only reported fatigue for a few days, according to the CDC. He has since recovered but is currently isolating and receiving the antiviral drug tamiflu.
Dr. Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist for the CDPHE, told ABC News the man had 10 close contacts who were either coworkers of his on the farm, lived with him or used the same transportation services as he did. They all tested negative.
Repeat testing of the man for influenza was negative.
"We aren’t certain if this individual was truly infected or not and we might actually never know with certainty," Herlihy said. "We don't know if this person was infected, meaning the virus was present and replicating in his body, or if some level of surface contamination of this person's nose may have occurred. You can virus present in your nose, it can be detected on a test, but it doesn't mean it's necessarily causing infection."
The CDC also noted it possible for the detection of bird flu to be the result of surface contamination.
Health officials insisted there is little risk to the general public and there is no evidence the virus spreads from person to person.
"We know that this is really primarily an animal health issue," Herlihy said. "There are lots of viruses that are transmitted within a species but not between species ... Everything we know about the virus right now suggests that it's really just being transmitted between avian species."
Officials say it is safe to eat eggs and poultry, with the USDA always advising proper handling and cooking of poultry products.

Isn't tamiflu an OTC?

Not yet
Still Rx

Thanks! Guess that proves you should read the article and not just the headlines and first few paragraphs, Lol.
