OT: Coronavirus Resources - and other things to not worry about

her first day of work was a Monday. I had totally forgotten she was starting. arrive to the office as our whole team morning meeting starts and first thing I notice.... holy legs. actual thought process was something like, 'why are there legs staring at me and who do they belong to?'

then I remembered...twas quite the day one outfit. could have gone straight from the office to the clubs and I'm not sure anyone would have noticed...
 
If there was ever any reason to keep a mask mandate going in the office - might be because of one employee looking to fill her Covid variant stamp card.

It's like the guy who gets a second DUI and thinks he was just unlucky.

The paralegal on my team is amazing - but lives in a constant state of chaos that I can’t wrap my head around.

no onlyfans account (that I’m aware of).
 
Florian trying to save the world. Wish we have operation warp speed type funding to speed these up. But regardless help is coming. Science will prevail.



 
I was in the path and FCP yesterday, and would say less than 50 pct of the ppl I saw were wearing masks.

the brains driving our economic engines, folks.
 
I imagine the next return to 'normalcy' is people going to work sick. I mean, in a wider more general sense. I realize people are still doing this, but with the mildness and the exposure, people will become complacent at greater numbers.

We all recovered here. Since we were triple shotted (daughter had two shots), our symptoms were very mild. Think like a really annoying cold, mild sore throat, low persistent head ache, and a bit of fatigue. No loss of taste or smell. One night had about an hour of fever chills but only a slight temperature. One small bout of stomach cramp. I was able to work each day and only tested positive on the Rapid for two consecutive days. If we didn't have the rapid tests on hand, I bet we may have even chalked it up to a head cold and gone about with life. It was the fever that had us reach out for more testing kits.

My one warning sign is the throat tickle. It just comes out of nowhere and then in about 12 hours it has moved into your chest a bit. Very distinct tickle. Stay home and get some test kits. Get your shots.
 
Very curious to see Omicron long covid rates. Highly doubt it's similar to the 10-15% for vaxxed folks on past variants based on anecdotal information, but it's deffo not 0. Still too soon for any meaningful data on that.

That is the next big challenge, isn't it? Hopefully these treatments you previously mentioned can bring that under control for people.

I have a distant relative that went to Cyprus for some experimental treatment (help apheresis) and it ran her about 50k between the treatments, travel and accommodations. From what I've heard it helps temporarily but it seems like it's not really getting to the root of the problem so the issues return not long after. She has received 6 treatments and has one more to go and then she'll be returning but she noticed that it only works really well for a few days and then by the time she gets her next treatment she can feel symptoms returning. They basically just filter out the microclots which temporarily clears up the brainfog and fatigue and whatnot.

Anyway, she got Omicron'd in December while double vaxxed so it hasn't even been that long for her but she was largely bedridden till she went to Cyprus. In her 30's, was fit, athletic, etc. These people are desperate.
 
Yeah Presto, stop wasting your time here and get better treatments to market
 
BioNTech has scaled-up manufacturing and has started producing its Omicron-based vaccine at risk. The trial recruitment is on track and the Company expects to publish data in April 2022 supporting potential regulatory submissions for an Omicron-adapted vaccine. In addition, BioNTech intends to continue to evaluate other follow-on COVID-19 vaccines candidates, including combination and bivalent vaccines.

I'm no antivaxxer but I think I'm done with the OG vaccine as a fella who is not old or at risk. Covid is 100% omicron right now. The more you boost, the more your immune response is imprinted to the wildtype virus. Time to shift products, ideally to a more variant-proof vaccine but if they're gonna make any vaccine available in the next few months it should be catered to the current variant.
