Piercy can think for himself, that is dangerous!
Amazing there are still so many people out there who think actually getting infected--with the potential for it to be severe or even lethal--is a better path to immunity than getting a couple shots. The data are absolutely clear that vaccines greatly reduce the chances of severe illness.
But the largest cable news outlet doesn’t let their viewers know that.Quote:

The Vax may hurt more kids though than it can protect, especially since it doesn't fix the spread or catch thingy.
Enjoy your therapy if choice. I got the JNJ and have had every version of the Rona so far too.
That's sufficient. Yeah, it would be awesome if it they were also more effective in preventing Covid with the recent strains, but the fact that the vaccines aren't perfect doesn't mean they're worthless.Quote:

No connection between calling all vaccines "it" and counting unboosted JNJ recipients as "fully vaccinated" despite being one of them and getting "every version of the Rona so far."Quote:

Looks like our turn. My eight year old daughter has had "cold" symptoms for the past ten days or so. The first day was bad with fever of 101, but none after that and just coughing. She had a couple of negative home tests so we thought it was just a cold. A neighbor just tested positive and our daughter was coughing maybe a little more this morning and tested again and it came back positive. Hard to know if it's been COVID this whole time or if it is just coincidental on the heels of her cold. Hopefully the wife and I can stay clean. We have a trip in 10 days.
Lots of “articles” and talk out there about how the “gene therapy” vaccines are gonna cause widespread destruction of peoples immune systems. It was supposed to happen right away. Then that got moved to “within a year”. Now it’s “in the next decade”.Quote:

Listen if I’m going to die in 2032 from my three covid vaccines at least tell Gates and Soros to turn in my 5G signal so I can really enjoy my last decade.
CDC data through May 15: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra...vaccine-status
for JNJ (only):
-shows slightly case rates higher than mRNA+booster during omicron ba1 wave
--shows much higher death rates (6.73 per 100,000 population) compared to mRNA+booster (1.01 or 1.47 per 100,000 population) during omicron BA1 wave peak (compared to 29.10 per 100,000 population unvaxed)
a lot more data on webpage, including second booster data.
Talked to my doc yesterday.
Booster in Nov 2021, Covid Jan 2022.
Doc says wait on the updated Moderna.
PA Kiddo back at work yesterday.
Any idea when the updated Moderna will be out?Quote:

I think I know where your constant vitriol comes from. Let me guess, you have been dumped a few times over the years, but the ex girlfriends never gave you a reason, and it really ate into your ego and this constant shitposting is your release from that harsh lonely reality. Dude, you're kind of the creep that follows people around internet forums constantly attacking internet strangers. This same ugly behavior translates into real life and relationships. Those poor girls got away while they could. Here at TGR we can see your unhinged constant attacking posts. This is you in real life. Sounds terrible for every soul in your orbit.
Want to make some more personal attacks? Feel free to PM me to save everyone else here the headache. People like you will be the end of these TGR forums as we know it.
Catching every wave of covid to hit SLT… that’s a lot of time in isolation/quarantine

Been hesitant to post until some time had passed. I definitely think the 5 day course of Paxlovid helped me. I can get my HR up to 180 on the bike and feel ok later that night. I feel like my aerobic capacity improved pretty strongly around the 5 or 6 day mark. I was able to catch the Zone 2 peloton I had been riding with on Zwift for the past couple months. Before if I fell off the back of the pack I struggled to pedal hard and catch back up. Now I can catch them with ease again and not feel like death.
Hoping this keeps up. I have read stuff online of people having the PASC flare back up and then trying 30 days of Paxlovid. So far so good. Still gonna take it easy and not get back into any hard interval stuff for a while.
Paxlovid was great for me last week: five day course, started on day three if the Covid symptoms as soon as the test came back positive. The symptoms (cough, sore throat, fatigue) started to disappear on day two and were gone at the end of day three of Paxlovid treatment.
It’s good to know that it may help with long covid too.
I had bad taste side effect tho and can’t imagine going through 30 days course. On the other hand, it is better than the alternative of Covid.
That's great to read. Hopefully the worst is behind you.Quote:

Luckily she is. She just finished up a big job and now has a couple days off.Quote:

Very glad I went and got the 4th OG dose. Hopefully it will roll me right into an updated version.

I posted earlier that my daughter tested positive last week. She’s doing great. My wife and I have been trying to be careful, isolating as best we can and all wearing N95 masks when we are together. We’ve been testing frequently since we have a trip planned with my mom and sister starting Saturday. I tested positive 48 hours ago but am still symptom free. Hopefully it will remain that way. Wife is still negative so we remain careful. Fingers crossed that she can stay clear. She’s usually the one who gets bad colds etc and I usually get off easy. I’m double boosted FWIW and she is single boosted.

My wife is still dealing with Covid. As she said if she didn't know about Covid she'd just think she had a bad cold. Her symptoms first started on Sunday, so she's six days into it. I've taken three rapid tests so far and every one has come back negative. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I had it first and just didn't have any symptoms. I'm crossing my fingers.
I think it was day 5 or 6 when I started sleeping in bed with the wife and stopped masking in the room with her. It all seemed ridiculous and I was losing it sleeping in the basement. I think if you haven't caught it from her by now you won't. I never did afaik but I could have given it to her like you note but most likely we both were exposed at the same time by our 6th grader.
Been over a week since the start of our weekend of throwing caution to the wind in Denver and it seems like we pulled it off. I do feel a bit sick mentally but I blame the news. Good gawd it has been awful.

Now four for four for me on negative tests. Starting to feel (knock on wood) that I may be out of the woods.
Rode my bike 3 days in a row. Got up to about 180bpm pushing hard on a couple punchy climbs. Was feeling the chest pains again last night and shortness of breath again today. Not has bad as it was before but damn this shit is just hanging on. I'm just starting to accept this is the deal for a while and it may linger for another 6-12 months or it might not.
Gotta fly to NJ in a couple day and really not all that stoked about it.
Just heard from a friend of mine that he had Covid about three weeks ago and got it again last week. I wouldn't have thought you could get it twice within a month.
that's what I have done and hoping the sameQuote:

Past infection does almost nothing to stop re-infection with the BA4/5 variants. This is why I am still masking indoors 99% of the time and have not gone back to pre-pandemic levels of socializing. I try to pick and choose my risk as wisely as possible.Quote:

If your HR goes to 180 with moderate to moderately hard exercise all is not well--most likely the ability of your lungs to put oxygen into your blood. See the other covid thread. Getting your heart up to an age-appropriate max is a good goal for healthy people, which it sounds like you are not, although it sounds like you are getting better.Quote:

I highly recommend everyone to read up and be aware of it, I infected my MIL thanks to my ignorance, and I'm guessing my FIL will be positive from me, too.Quote:

Yeah wish I had better past data. HR over 180 used to be only during my all out efforts. Now it seems like I hit 180 where I used to be about 165ish. My resting HR was definitely much higher yesterday (day 3 of riding) than the previous few days....and my lungs feel rough today. Slight cough again etc.Quote:

This is some interesting news:

That's what i'm saying. For the past 6 months I've told myself, "Well I can take nice deep breaths....so it's not my lungs" The volume is there, but the membrane just isn't transferring enough oxygen. It's a possibility I guess.Quote:
