Crap. I'll hope Pfizer is better. Best wishes for them.
Thx, me too.
They're sick, but not hospitalized, so there's that. Honestly think that's pretty typical.
Well, from all I've read, Moderna and Pfizer are somewhat different but more or less equally effective at preventing serious Covid infection. The Pfizer has more stringent storage requirements (something like -80 C) where as the Moderna can be stored for up to a month at fridge or regular freezer temp. I think. My first three shots were all Pfizer. The booster I got on Friday was Moderna. Little to no pain from that, whereas the Pfizer booster I got last September hurt like a SOB. I actually wanted to get the Moderna this time around, because I figured 1) It might address things differently/better than Pfizer, and 2) It's all the CVS nearest to me had. We'll see. There are some lucky people who apparently are genetically more or less immune to covid. A very small number, but still.
I'd have to look up the references on the difference between Moderna and Pfizer protection, but as I recall they both have about the same efficacy.
Just heard that a majority of Americans have now had coronavirus.
In other news, I've been housebound since Monday with what either is a head cold, sinus infection or coronavirus (I've tested negative on home tests).
Double boosted so if it is the virus symptoms could remain minimal.
Have you been a good boy (or girl) and worn a mask as required?
PS-I'm double boosted and wear a mask as required.
And all my home tests (as well as hospital tests last year) have all been negative.
I do get sneezing fits now and then, but not too worried what with my genetics, vaccination, and overall health taken into account. Plus it's spring and lots of pollen out and about.
Well, here's what happened to me Monday night. I ate the rest of my bag of mushrooms after deciding to throw caution to the wind. I had liquid and solid supplies and thought I was all set. It came on faster than I figured and got progressively progressive. i was pretty wiggy for a couple of hours but rode it out between bouts of wondering what to do. The next day nothing was broken and i wrote it down as another fine episode.

Perhaps you should meander over to Oh, Really' s place to bunk and take part in the UC San Diego research effort examining the efficacy of magic mushrooms to reverse the covid effect?
You clearly have zero experience with trying to boss people on 'shrooms around.

Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.

Might even be some $$$ in for you.
Do it.
Do it now.
Don't even ask OR first.
Just get it over and done.
Well, I'm pretty well up on the efficacy of that stuff and up until now nobody knew that I have often stowed away on the roof of his caravan and jumped off at various opportune times. The only money involved in any of it was the money flying out of my pockets (just came from the bank to withdraw some of my diamond mine money) and came to the horrible realization that I should have just stuffed my pockets with diamonds. This sort of thing happens now and then. I don't think O Really even knew I was up there.

How ya' feeling?
Improving thx.
Guess it's just a nasty head cold. I'm still a little stuffed but I didn't test positive on home tests, I probably should have gotten a PCR as the home tests really aren't reliable ( I know three people who were symptomatic and tested negative at home and had positive PCR's) and the symptoms kind of fit but didn't bother as I'm treating it like it is as far as isolating etc.
It'll be five days tomorrow since symptoms started so I'll be able to reenter the world. The dog will be grateful as he's been on an abbreviated walk schedule and has ants in his pants.
He's not the only one.

... The interview comes as Congress remains stalled over COVID-19 funding the White House warns is much needed to keep up with vaccinations and boosters, among other necessities.
If Congress cannot come to a deal, the U.S. could face risks such as shortages of tests, vaccines and COVID-19 treatments, in addition to an inability to fund new potential breakthrough treatments.
Fauci reiterated the need for Congress to pass new COVID-19 funding during his interview.
“First of all, we won’t have enough antivirals. We won’t be able to develop newer and better antivirals. We won’t be able to have a booster for everyone, and we will not be able to get the best possible boosters,” he said about Congress’s inability to authorize more funding.
“We have studies right now that are lined up to try and figure out what the most appropriate booster will be for the fourth shot that likely people will need as we get into the fall. If we don’t get the resources that we asked for, we’re not going to be able to do that,” he added.
I'm double boosted so who knows. It sure presented like mild covid but I never tested positive at home (they're really not very reliable) and didn't bother with a pcr as I was treating it like covid.

Great!
Sounds like it *could* have been covid. A PCR test could probably confirm that.
I'm also double boosted and always tested neg on home tests. I *think* my last PCR test was about a year and a half ago. All tests neg.
The problem is unfounded MD reticence. Hopefully, we all have competent and up-to-date MDs, but if not:

Cool, GoNIHGo.
Yeah, but their doctors and hospitals and insurance companies lose out on millions in profits - it’s communism I say, pure and simple antidemocratic uncapitatism.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”

I don't understand. In theory, doctors and hospitals profit from severe COVID-19 infections, but insurance companies lose out.
