Covid 19 is sneaking back

Remember when retailers actually took it serious and cleaned their stores and merchandise every evening ?
Are you still taking precautions?

I just read an article today that nurses are baffled why the public is acting like this is hone or doesnt exist. Many people are still being hospitalized or dying, and many having long Covid, which affects memory and even breathing🙁And the nurse said she could'nt believe so many are unmadked in stores, knowingly subjecti g themselves to it.

@Coralmist i see her point though i am totally against a medical professional having a petsonal opinion

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@MarineBob well everyone will have a personal opinion, but these are facts, unfortunately 😔 That restrictions have dropped and they probably shouldnt be.

@Coralmist those nurses should ask themselves why VACCINATED still get covid, have many more problems and dying. If two years down the road they are still baffled and those are some pretty dumb nurses

ViciDraco · 41-45, M

@SW-User the nurses don't ask that because vaccinated people die far less frequently than unvaccinated. Look at newer data than your single misleading uk report.

Jamesy · 41-45, M

@Coralmist have you had any vaccines

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@Jamesy yes, the first two last year, im due for booster. I hope to get it next week.

@Coralmist It is possibly best to wait a bit. The bivalent vaccines should be available in September.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@MarineBob are you seriously saying that a trained medical professional shouldn't have an opinion?

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@samueltyler2 Im several months overdue..but yes i may wait a couple more weeks, ty

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@samueltyler2 What is bivalent

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Coralmist It has components effective against the older virus as well as the new B variants.

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@samueltyler2 and its a regular shot? Just like a booster too right? Can be used for first time vaccinations or booster?

MarineBob · 56-60, M

My tetanus booster is good for 10 years @samueltyler2

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Coralmist good question, I don't really have the answer to that, I assume yes, but will have to check that out. I would get my influenza vaccine as soon as possible, then the new bivalent covid once it becomes available.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@MarineBob we were not talking about tetanus, and, in reality, you are probably protected for much longer than that for tetanus, but, not for diphtheria nor pertussis.

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@samueltyler2 Ty Samuel🦋 I do think the current shot can be for first time vaccinations or boosters, it has I believe the same dosage and ingredients. But yes Ill check of new bivalent!

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Coralmist actually the booster doses were lower.

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@samueltyler2 oh ok, gotcha. Ty🍀

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Coralmist The CDC just posted this 2 days ago, the vaccine will be offered as a booster:

@samueltyler2 Appreciate this, ty !!

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Coralmist my pleasure, thank you for asking the question. I learn from answering such questions. You do know that is what I did for my living?

Coralmist · 41-45, F

@samueltyler2 Yes I remember...you were a medical primary care? Or forensic MD.?

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Coralmist Public health mostly, with a lot of forensics involved.

Not true. In my county, those vaccinated make up the majority of Covid deaths, if you go from the start of Omicron. The original and Delta did cause more deaths in the unvaccinated, but not for 2022.

I also saw data today that shows the vaccinated are at increased risk for reinfection compared to the unvaccinated. @ViciDraco
