Average age for ventilated covid pts in my hospital right now is 44. Several of the youngest don’t have significant comorbidities.

Are any of the vaccinated ones in really bad shape?
Are you privy to their vaccination status? If so, are the vented younger patients mostly unvaccinated?
No one who is vaccinated is fucked up without a major preexisting condition like immune compromised.

Thank you. The surprising thing about Ikioi’s story is the person was reportedly in good health and vaxxed.
Update.
All three men are charged with third-degree trespassing. A conviction could lead to a sentence of up to 30 days in jail.
They are scheduled to be arraigned in court Sept. 15.

Shit there’s a lot of coughing going on. Wouldn’t be surprised if students in multiple classes currently have covid but it’s just not bad enough to stay home. Tomorrow, there will be another round of covid testing. Pretty sure that at some classes will be moving online once those results are in.
Anyway pandemic is getting bad now. There should be more restrictions implemented now. Number of daily cases is the highest since late May. Percentage of positive tests highest since the middle of May. Reproduction rate is the highest since the beginning of July. Hospitalizations went up 33% in one day. Only getting 10,000 people vaccinated per day now when it used to be over 100,000.
I mean this was predictable. I didn’t think it would happen this quickly but then again I didn’t know that there’d be 2 superspreader events so close to each other. Combine that with students in school and inadequate handling of the pandemic in schools and this is what you get.

He’d fit in well.
Some teachers are scheduled walk down the hallway in between classes to make sure that students aren’t getting in any trouble or aren’t late. Another role added to that since the pandemic is to make sure that students are wearing their masks. Turns being a mall cop into being a mutawa.
What I didn’t expect to see is so many teachers not wearing their masks in the hallway. Sure, teenage students are capable of making their own decisions but teachers should be setting an example.
I can at least be grateful that way more students are vaccinated than I expected. I mean it hasn’t stopped covid from reaching the school but it might buy some time and encourage others to get vaccinated.
I’m on team deworm this thread.
We are still in the throws of the worst global pandemic of our lifetime, and there is plenty of information I’d like to stay updated on. Vaccine effectiveness over time, severity of illness in vaccinated, case surge info, regional restrictions, mandates, etc. This thread has been the absolute best catch all in that regatd since before COVID landed in the US.
We’re now on day 4 of an unbearable derail between like four posters. Take it to PMs. When you all hash out an agreement on your Ivermectin stances feel free to update the rest of us here with one, concise post.
And for those of you interested in Moderna 3rd dose side effects, I’m still not back to 100%. Fever broke about 28 hours after the shot which was quicker than dose 2, but bad body pains, extreme fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes are still lingering. Also got a rash at the injection site which didn’t happen previously.

Don’t think I’ll be getting the Moderna booster. Czech government mentioned that the vast majority will get Pfizer and that mixing vaccines is okay.

Can I ask why (and how) you got a third dose? I didn’t think that was a thing yet. When did you get your second dose?
Damn honestly that sounds really rough. Then again my 2nd dose was only like 12 hours of fever and then a day of body aches.
Mom is set to get her booster in 2 weeks. She wanted the flu shot first because the flu almost killed her before, and they recommended we wait two weeks. But the 2nd shot wasn’t too bad for her, so if the booster isn’t as bad hopefully it’ll be ok.
I’m immunocompromised so was eligible for the booster. Second dose was on 2/15/21.
2nd dose was three days of fever for me, peaking at 103.x for over a day. So this was not quite as bad. My dad got his 3rd dose last Friday and had zero side effects, same as the 2nd dose for him. Hopefully your mom experiences the same.

Can I ask a stupid question? I’ve seen it explained that “immunocompromised” folks would be candidates for a 3rd dose. I’ve also seen it explained that “immunocompromised” people are a group that would have legitimate medical concerns about the vaccine.
How do I reconcile this? Simply different auto-immune conditions that would put someone in one group vs the other?
Just curious about how the logistics work - was this something where your doctor called you and said, “Hey, you should get this”? Or did you have to contact your doctor and say, “Hey, this seems like maybe something I should consider”?
I’m generally wondering if doctors are doing active outreach for boosters (and the vaccination in general), or if they’re just responding to questions about the vaccine when asked.
Damn three days of fever going up to 103 is definitely the worst vaxx story I’ve heard. Glad you’re protected though. Do you plan on going out more now that you got your booster?
I thought the whole immunocompromised thing with the vaccine is fear about lack of effectiveness, not some negative side effect. Maybe there is a subset that has different issues?
