Covid-19

[Lloyd Braun]

A coworker of mine (age 50s, some congenital vascular issues) received the vaccine 4 weeks ago and was set to receive the 2nd dose this week. Unfortunately she caught covid and was hospitalized over the weekend, discharged today and recovering. It feels like such a relief to have been vaccinated but at the same time immunity is not instantaneous.

Got my second shot last week and felt kind of hungover the next day (a feeling to which I have great familiarity) but then normal the 2nd day. Seems pretty typical. If I could go back in time I would take the day after off to rest.

I just got my Moderna jab #1 an hour ago. Feels great. I am interested in what you say about your coworker, because I was told literally this morning that no one has gotten sick enough to be hospitalized once they have their first shot.

I've heard that the first shot gives you 60% immunity. I got my first shot this past weekend. Arm was a bit sore for a couple days, but that's it.

She was definitely very ill and received the typical hospital course of treatment for covid. I believe if she did not have the risk factors for complications she would have been outpatient treatment. I have not heard of anyone else being hospitalized post-vaccine either which is why I thought I’d share. The hospitalist also has not, but it is pretty early in vaccination rollout to the general population. Something to keep an eye on for sure, especially if we are seeing a wave of new strains that may not be equally susceptible to the antibodies created by the vaccine.

Great to hear she’s feeling better or better to be discharged. On a positive note, the vaccine may have made the situation better than not having it.

Yup, 95% efficacy is gained on the second shot.

I only saw some news report of a nurse that died like a few days after the first shot I believe? I think efficacy isn't gained until 12 days after the first shot either from what I remember from Pfizer's safety profile. So far I haven't seen any hospitalizations post-vaccine either here, but you are correct about the new strains coming through, will be interesting to see the statistics on it when they come out with them. Happy to hear she's discharged and recovering well!

Not sure Cuomo ending up in prison was how I saw the Covid story ending, but here we are!

This Kim guy better watch out for Hillary's people.

Politics are the armpit of society.

From an article in the WSJ by Dr. Makary, a professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health:

"Why is the number of cases plummeting much faster than experts predicted? In large part because natural immunity from prior infection is far more common than can be measured by testing. Testing has been capturing only from 10% to 25% of infections..."

"My prediction that Covid-19 will be mostly gone by April is based on laboratory data, mathematical data, published literature and conversations with experts."

And yet, the Democrats and the fear mongers in the CDC and media are having a real hard time admitting any of this, or even letting up on the boot on your back.
