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

Looks like we're above last years peak, with the new immure evading variant likely taking up around just 20% of cases thus far so things are likely to get worse. This mother fucker continues to be everywhere, folks. Not quite settling into a typical pattern like we had hoped. It transmits like nothing else.

Hope you guys have been catching the new variant. Unconfirmed but anecdotally potentially more gut issues with the new variant... But we'll find out for sure soon. It's very distinct from Omicron so symptoms are likely to be different.
 
If it's gastro makes sense more loading to the sewer network, no? There is so much shitting going on at schools it's pretty comical at this point.

Could be, yeah that's a theory. But hopefully not because hospitalization ratios with wastewater has remained stable or increased with the new variant across the world. So if it's people shitting out extra virus that means lower case rates which means more severe per case.

I got my vax last Friday. No sore arm, no fever, but sore throat turned into a cough and mild stuffy nose and extra fatigue

Pffuck you Pfizer!!!

I realize it's just a coincidence, but you're the 5th person I've heard say they got the vax and ended up getting COVID right after.

I'm rolling the dice until I get back from Puerto Rico. Masking at the airport and on the plane, but not getting my jab until I'm back in January.

I actually tested for it (as I don’t want to bring it to a bunch of Xmas parties) and it turns out negative each time
 
The flu sucks balls and while covid is obviously significantly more harmful per infection, it wouldn't be much of an issue if we caught it once every ~5 years or so like we do with the flu on average. The issue right now is that this thing evolves and transmits like a cunt and on average people are catching it once every 1, 1.5, even 2 years. It's a roll of the dice on whether that's sustainable or not because it does not appear to get milder on reinfection on average. But maybe one day evolution will slow and it settles into a more flu-like pattern.

I am no doctor, but I think seeing this shit settle down to something you get twice a decade seems likely
 
that's the key, yeah. Nerds appear to be split on that happening. Some say the rate of evolution is nothing like any other circulating virus so our immunity will never be robust bc it'll constantly be evaded by new variants, others say evolution may eventually slow down.. but they're all just theories. We don't really have proper data on what happened when any other virus came into circulation throughout history. Were they all like this at the beginning? Idk maybe, maybe not!

This year has been a bit of a kick in the cunt tho, after an encouraging 2022. Transmission is higher than ever in many parts of the world
