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

People that lost smell/taste, was it completely gone or just weaker than normal?
Mine is weaker than normal. I'm hoping it's just a sinus infection or something like that.

Was golfing with my buddy this past week and his parents both got COVID over Christmas. His dad just got his sense of smell and taste back this month. Their general symptoms weren’t that bad. They are both in their mid to late 50s.

This might be a totally silly question but can you catch COVID 19 and not loose your taste and smell ?

 

[sooperhooper]

Mine was weaker. I thought it was just congestion at first. Both lasted a few days.

Gotcha. Mine just started Monday. Was kinda fatigued yesterday with slight back ache.

Yeah I know someone that had it but didn't lose either.

Wow that’s terrible how bad was the virus for this person?

She said it was horrible for her. Her main issue was trouble breathing.

My bro had it last March or April and he lost his taste and smell for like 2 days. During quarantine he had me buy him hella Wendys.

Both times I had it, didn’t lose either... Had a five day stretch with a constant headache the first time

No symptoms the second time

Read the news that Pfitzer vaccine is effective up to 6 months. So we have to get another one after 6 months?

No. It means they have continued following trial participants who received their vaccines 6 months ago and it’s still at least 90% effective compared to the placebo group.

There's most likely gonna be a booster shot if variants keep popping up. Not sure if it'll be an annual thing yet though.

Anyone who had covid and get the shot and not have any side effects from the shot?

My brother had COVID at the end of December and had no side effects from his first dose of Pfizer last week, just a sore arm.

My pops tested positive yesterday. The rest of us tested positive today.

I'm a little nervous since I'm not a small guy weight wise but the most I've felt was some scratchiness in my chest like I had allergies or a slight cold. I'm not too sure how long I've had it but I'm pretty sure my Pops caught it about two weeks ago and then brought it home.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Anybody vaccinated?

Both him and my mother had their first shot last week. My Uncle got his first shot too but he also tested positive. Pretty sure him and my dad got it during an impromptu b-day get together at my uncle's.

I haven't gotten vaccinated yet. I'm just gonna drink water and tea and pop vitamins as suggested to me by the doctor for the next two weeks. I should be good.

No. It means they have continued following trial participants who received their vaccines 6 months ago and it’s still at least 90% effective compared to the placebo group.

Yeah that's great news. 90% effective at 6 months likely means they'd be 70-80% effective at a year and at least 50% effective after a couple years, although we won't know for sure until we wait that long.

For all you DIY'ers, Moderna vaccine has been "hacked" and the recipe posted online...


April Fools or nah?

 

[s3p4tu]

Even if it's hacked and posted online, Im not gonna get "after-market" vaccine from some craiglist or "under-ground" pharmacy.
