Feel a little lethargic, and a little bit of chills, but nothing much. Part of my issue might be that my dog woke me up during the night a few times. Hopefully I can sleep better tonight and feel better tomorrow. We did have a couple teachers who had side effects bad enough they took today off. I guess one of them was in pretty bad shape last night and went to the ER. Dang, that’s rough. But glad you came thought it okay. If you ahven’t had anything bad yet, you’ll be fine. 11 minutes ago, Leathernecks said: On the right side, there is a drop down tab so you can change the order. The one the link goes to is sorted by relevance, but you can change it to alphabetically. It also changes the address when you click a new way to sort, so it is @Lostin76's fault for posting the link that went there. Perhaps this time it is appropriate to shoot the messenger? 🔫 Alphabetical link Ha, yes shoot away. I can handle it!

Laying on my couch with 2 thick layers of clothes and 2 heavy blankets and can't get warm. A little achy, but not unbearable. Just hope I can get somewhat warm before bed so I can actually sleep tonight. I think my mind was busy enough at work that I didn't notice it as much, but it definitely hit since then. The teacher who went to the ER, it sounds like it was actually a blessing. I guess it triggered something else that was wrong with her that she didn't know about.

It does not mean that the vaccines developed by Pfizer, Moderna, etc. are not effective. As it stands, they have no choice to move on in a different direction, because they are so far behind, it would not be cost effective for them to start over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other depressing news, NYS just got a bunch of nursing home deaths added to their death total yesterday that Cuomo apparently tried to shove under the rug.

Wish I would've stopped reading after they clarified that. Instead I kept reading the 'meanwhile in related news' section that makes conspiratorial claims about the Astrazeneca vaccine, supported by links that don't work or don't support that theory. And then to complete the trifecta of disinformation all that is followed by a banned Info Wars video. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I read into it, the more I think there should be some criminal investigation. And I’ve always mostly agreed and supported Cuomo.

His March directive forcing Covid positive patients (all elderly) back into nursing homes so he could keep the bed space available in hospitals...led to roughly 7-10k deaths. He'll say he was following guidance and to a point he probably just was....with that said. Why did zero other officials follow the same guidelines/guidance? Why did Florida who has probably the largest senior citizen population not do the same? Or California? I've been screaming on Cuomo since March. Just glad it's getting the attention now...albeit a tad late though for several thousand people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My questions that I can't seem to find: what is the quarantining period for those exposed individuals? Still 10 days? Can they present a negative test? Will a test even pick up if they are carrying the virus? Really. The fire department told us we are no longer considered a high risk exposure for 120 days after recovery or 2 weeks after full vaccination. Edit: pretty sure that call was made by our medical director Edited January 29, 2021 by NotIThatLives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Absorb this information however you wish. Indiana has 92 counties. State Positivity Rate for all tests is 8.7% Monroe County (Bloomington) has the lowest positivity rate in the State of Indiana (2.9%) Tippecanoe County (West Lafayette) has the 3rd lowest positivity rate in the State (4.1%) ISDH - Novel Coronavirus: Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) (in.gov) What does this info say about college campuses being a prime breeding ground for the virus?

Agree, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt early on, b/c let’s be honest we did not quite know what we were dealing with that early on. But, it’s incredibly disappointing to se all of this and if I had elderly relatives that were involved I would be beyond incensed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
