Covid-19: Treatments, Cures, and Vaccines

At least the symptoms aren’t severe. If some percentage of people just get colds, then the vaccines are doing their job.

 

Bear in mind that many vaccinated people are getting exposed to COVID who are likely asymptomatic or mildly infected so they are not getting tested.

 

How come you waited 3 months between vaccines?

 

I sprained my ankle playing soccer….had a hard time walking and then life kept on rolling.
I gotta give @slightlyskeptical credit too. He made a few recent remarks about how he noticed the non-vaccinated were admitted in his facility. It gave me the push I needed.

 

I told you about soccer in the Den and I come here to learn the truth.... Good call getting the shot.

 

It's been interesting to watch the evolution of the levels of concern by hospitals regarding treating Covid patients from when we opened the first Covid unit until now. In the early days we were hyper vigilant and extraordinary precautions were being taken. We were limited to 2 patients per and time in the rooms with the patients was to be as limited as possible. We hooked up long lengths of tubing to the machines so they could be operated from outside the rooms. Safety managers, and various upper management types were all over the place trying to insure that strict guidelines were being followed. And of course we all were wearing moon suits and respirators. Well, that pipe dream went out the window pretty quick when the shit hit the fan. During the worst parts of June, July and August 2020 we had up to 5 patients and the extreme safety precautions became a mere suggestion. We went from moon suits to reusable gowns and booties were discontinued due to shortages and cost. And on more than one occasion I accidentally went into patient's rooms without my respirator on. Eventually familiarity led to less concern and things became more routine as we learned and adapted. People seem to have forgotten that we still are treating Covid patients. Now we have a small number of patients and they actually share a floor with non-Covid patients which seems stupid to me. It's kinda' like having a peeing and non-peeing section in a pool.

 

I thought you were in medical sales

 

Looks like a bit of an uptick here in Jax, we've gotten several covid patients in homecare this week after what seemed like several weeks with nothing but most still with multiple comorbidities...diabetes and obesity seem to be present in 90%.

 

A little more information on current Covids deaths:

US coronavirus: Nearly every new Covid-19 death is now entirely preventable, CDC director says - CNN

 

30 years. Had a midlife crisis and have been fortunate enough in my career to have been able to retire pretty young and go back to school and get my paramedic and BSN degree. Wanted to find something rewarding that would keep me busy. It’s certainly been both.

 

Fully vaccinated? Ie shot 2 +2 weeks?

 

1 in 1000 aint bad for a new vaccine

 

Pfizer - 21 days between shots.. in april

 

Stunning revelation (not): Vaccines work, and those who are dying are the non-vaccinated. Those statistic are mind bogglingly good. Obviously everyone would love 100% guranteed protection, but the fact that less than .1% those becoming sick and only 0.8% of those dying have been vaccinated is awesome.

Nearly all COVID deaths in US are now among unvaccinated

 

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Vaccines are toward keeping people from getting seriously ill or dying as a result of being infected by better triggering an immune system response. It's not necessarily preventing people from testing positive.

 

If the vaccinated are getting hospitalized, that will be bad.
Otherwise

Face masks effectively limit the probability of SARS-CoV-2 transmission

 

Pfizer has already applied and at the time people said full reviews average about 6 months. Reports were the Pfizer/BioNTech would get notification by December 2021 or January 2022 by the latest. Moderna was about 6 weeks later in their filing for full authorization.

 

From the study:

 

The problem, as I see it, is when a vaccinated person gets covid the people who perform the test aren't checking with the positive where they got vaccinated and which vaccine. Pfizer for instance had very strict storage protocols. Its possible a few sites unknowingly used expired or improperly stored vaccines. On that day you might have a slew of people who in reality only got one effective shot. IMO, if they don't track this they will never know
