Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

[kdawg]

They let you shoot yourself up???? lmao I hate needles in general I think I would have yeet the hell out if they told me to do it myself

No, I do it to other people. It would be possible to do it to yourself I suppose - but it’s obviously frowned upon.

I have my second dose appointment tomorrow - where someone else will administer it.

I was listening to NPR last week (I think it was All Things Considered), and the data doesn’t back this, at least not in the elementary level.

The data they presented claimed kids that age aren't able to pass Covid to older family members?

 

[youngwolf]

DCAllAfrican , IIRC, the claim was that transmission from elementary and children to adults was almost nonexistent. I’m trying to find the segment now.

Y'all still gonna be wearing masks in the future even once it's "safe" out there? Not gonna lie, I love wearing my mask when I'm out shopping and running errands. I just want to get in and out, no time for interaction or running into people I know. Obviously at bars/restaurants/the gym, once it's safe then we won't need them but I hope it will start to become more of a norm in society for people to wear in public in various settings.

Plus I got about 50 cloth masks that I bought in bulk for cheap over the last year on top of a few dozen disposables too

Wow I can't even imagine how scary that must be.
Welcome back. Wishing you a full, healthy recovery!
Did you have any previous conditions?

It was very scary when I was laying in ICU, I just kept praying and praying. I don’t think I’ve ever been that scared before.

I’ve had asthma before but hasn’t been an issue for a while, even when I picked up cycling last year. BUT my bloodwork during my hospitalization came up pre-diabetic

I’ve definitely heard anecdotally that the majority of spread in schools is between teachers, but that’s really impossible to prove unless they’re actually testing students who are more likely to be asymptotic spreaders. I know my brother got it from his 6 y/o son who was minimally symptomatic and the rest of his family ended up getting it - 11 y/o asymptomatic, 13 y/o moderately symptomatic, 43 y/o wife moderate, 42 y/o brother still coughing 2 months later.

DCAllAfrican , I couldn’t find the segment, but here’s the study:

A Meta-analysis on the Role of Children in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 in Household Transmission Clusters

In household transmission clusters of SARS-CoV-2, children are unlikely to be the index case. Children are also less likely than adults to be infected with

I pretty much have excepted this, even when we are back to a kind of normal mask wearing will still be a thing.

 

[ballinsam23]

I’ll probably still wear a mask during the winter months, definitely in the train.

 

[QU!K]

Will the US Gov distribute enough of the vaccine before deaths total half a million?

U.S. reaches 500,000 deaths from the coronavirus

The number of dead rivals the populations of Atlanta or Sacramento, California.

just signed up for the antibody test at work to see the efficacy of the vaccine

Mask on the train/plane might forever be the move. Who wants to get even just the flu or a cold from some stranger sitting by you? Masks dont seem like such a bad idea. Plus keeps your face warmer in the winter.

I've been driving to work, but once public transportation runs more frequently I'm masking up I don't people to see my face anyway

I completely agree with everything you said. I think they should make it mandatory for facemask on Planes and trains FOREVER.

for cold weather places here like in NY the mask does keep my face warm lol

Plus if you get that quick train nap in and you start drooling with your mouth open no one will see.

Man did I sure read that wrong lmao thanks for clarifying

 

[stuntman mike]

i don't know about daily mask wearing after this has died down but i think it should be more prevalent for sick people to mask up in public like they do in japan. i'll def be wearing a mask at work if i have the sniffles or something and limit my movements to my office and the bathroom.

I can understand why they wouldn't want to come out and make a statement specifically about teacher vaccinations because of what it would mean for those schools that have already been back in-person without vaccinations.

Are u ugly doe?

Just read a paper on COVID in the near term. It is draconian. You will hear about it soon, I am sure. It does not make me optimistic for the rest of this year.

do you mind sharing it?

most of the recent developments have been overwhelmingly positive and, if anything, we've been underselling how positive the outlook is, so i'm curious to see why this paper would see things differently.
