I’m in the Blue Mountains at the moment, which is considered Greater Sydney. On Wednesday a limo driver was diagnosed with the Delta strain of COVID. He was 60 years old and part of his job was driving around international flight crews and he wasn’t vaccinated nor had been doing the required daily saliva tests. So gjge there.
But anyway, the reason I’m poasting is that he gave is to another guy at a shopping mall and CCTV recorded only a fleeting contact, where they passed within about a foot of each other briefly. This Delta strain is good at getting passed on via incidental contact.
We’re due to fly home tomorrow night (Sun morning US time). Crossing fingers that the contact tracers got this under control. If a mystery case pops up, SA will probably require us to 14 day quarantine when we get back.
You should be fine. If shit hits the fan then it will still not be until Monday numbers are released. I am glad I have made no plans beyond dinner tonight as there is a good chance more restrictions are coming.
What’s the disinformation? Israel reported months ago that they were investigating a potential 1/1,000,000 chance of heart side effects. This hasn’t been peer reviewed yet and the US is currently investigating.
Lets assume it’s all true - you take a vaccine which has a 1 in a million chance of heart inflammation which is most likely immediately treatable. A small handful of people of people may die.
You still snap take that vaccine.
We regularly take vaccines with worse odds than that. And those are for side effects we’ve confirmed.
I find it extremely doubtful that anyone would be able to link Eriksens heart attack with a covid vaccine - I don’t think things work that way - so that is 100% disinformation.
Separately the facts in the article are what they are - 62 cases in 5 million.
sure but they regularly tested players throughout the season. Without a positive covid test, you can’t say it’s related to covid. What happened is a known thing that happens to a few athletes every year.
Color me skeptical on “oh yeah even though he never tested positive for COVID maybe it was COVID” but, regardless, what does that quote have to do with a vaccine causing heart inflammation?
The article itself isn’t disinformation and posting it seems fine, but the eriksen stuff is just not relevant to the vaccines.
I don’t doubt that there are going to be some long term effects of the virus. Some of the symptoms of “long” Covid will turn out to have a clear physiological basis beyond the obvious lung damage stuff. I’m also certain that some things will remain nebulous and never scientifically associated-falling.
