Antivaxxers are so weird. The guy that owns Camp 4 coffee here in CB is a well known prepper. He has one of those cabins up by the reno-flag-bear-deadman trailhead stocked with a year's worth of ammo and MRE's. He's ready for the zombie apocalypse. What we're dealing with now is probably as close to that as we'll ever get, but he won't get a simple shot. So weird. In a related matter, anyone know of a really kick ass half-caff whole bean provider?

That's your answer, then. If you could make a case that you would reduce your chance of an exposure to some truly insignificant value it might be worth thinking about the downsides of a vaccine. Otherwise it's just needless worrying because you know the odds of a problem are massively higher from disease (maybe call it 1000x--can you get to 0.1% chance of exposure?). As MU suggests, worrying about really unlikely side effects might up your chances for a psychosomatic reaction--the side effects in the placebo group were significant.

Correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%BCgelkultur
And yes, AA, we switched to half caff after my wife was injured and came to like it. Don't get as jittery.

I read little on the athlete issue and my thinking might be poisoned by internet news. I don't train rigorously, though I try to get a good cardio workout every few days. I got my second shot from Stanford, and they said to take it easy for a few days. This makes sense to me... if one did get unlucky and have cardiovascular issues, the first recommendation is going to be rest anyway. Working an injured heart or lung makes things worse (wish I'd known this after a lung injury earlier in life). Work a few rest days into your training. If you've overtrained, the break may improve your performance.
As for booster benefits, there's a chance the 2 closely spaced pfizers resulted in an incomplete immune response, and getting a booster now will broaden your T-cell response. That response happens over weeks. The booster also strongly boosts your circulating antibodies. That response happens over days. The antibodies are thought to contribute strongly to efficacy against infection, boosting you back to 90% or so (in studies). The T-cells are thought to contribute to the lasting high efficacy against severe disease, and the boost takes you from really good (85ish%), to even better (90 somethingish). The virus expert I listen to most (Vincent Raccianello), says why get a boost, the studies show protection against severe disease remains high. I look at the same data and say the boost dramatically reduces the chance of symptomatic infection, and also cuts the low risk of severe covid in half.
That's to say, maybe time your booster/break to start a few days prior to travel, and resume your training on arrival. That gets you most of the antibody benefit dialed up before travel. And your rest period overlaps travel when training is difficult anyway. I'd treat the booster as an intense workout - i.e. easy workout the prior day. Training at a high level means you're tracking a bunch of vitals - those will tell you when you're recovered and ready to work hard. Give post-boost rest an extra day if you're paranoid?
Surely there's some exercise physiologists and other trainers associated with universities or pro-sports who get Covid questions and have intelligent answers more informed than mine. And may know of some actual studies (if any exist). Maybe your trainer has contacts/references.

48 hours after my booster + flu shots and I was back on the slopes. Well, slope. I was a little out of breath but otherwise fine. Went back up again yesterday, and was totally fine, no more shortness of breath, back to 100%.

As it should be...
Berlin (CNN)Germany on Thursday announced a nationwide lockdown for the unvaccinated, as its leaders backed plans for mandatory vaccinations in the coming months.
Unvaccinated people will be banned from accessing all but the most essential businesses, such as supermarkets and pharmacies, to curb the spread of coronavirus, outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel and her successor, Olaf Scholz, announced Thursday, following crisis talks with regional leaders. Those who have recently recovered from Covid-19 are not covered by the ban.
The pair also backed proposals for mandatory vaccinations, which if voted through the parliament could take effect from February at the earliest.
Under the tightened restrictions, unvaccinated people can only meet two people from another household. Bars and nightclubs must shut down in areas with an incidence rate above 350 cases per 100,000 people over one week. And the country would limit the number of people at large events like soccer matches.

Only way to effectively restrict would be a 14 day MANDATORY supervised isolation/quarantine for EVERYONE COMING IN FROM EVERYWHERE regardless of citizenship/what their passport says. If this was Ebola that's what they'd be doing (I hope).
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

We have person to person transmission of the new VOC at a mega-mass gathering in the US. There is no need for full quarantine. There is no longer a utility in a travel ban. Just test people.
I guarantee you it will show up in sequencing in several other US states in the next 48 hours.Originally Posted by blurred

Just another data point: Done with 24 hours post-Pfizer booster; some minor to moderate mental fog yesterday PM, slept well and felt entirely fine this morning. Yay, I crossed the line completing another lap of Covid avoidance.
And if this coming Saturday's tempo run is more than a few seconds slower than my par, I'll be sure to let you know.

They'll have to keep with the political theater for some time though, just because.
Daughter had dose 2 on Monday. With all the uncertainty and her absolute insistence in getting the shot asap the decision was made not to extend the interval. Slightly cranky with stomach ache day 1 after completing school day with sore arm. New light stomach ache evening of day 2 and tired after school so we skipped indoor soccer.
