I hit 101. But some ibuprofen and a nap, I now feel fine minus the metallic taste in mouth still and the sore arm.

101 will make you feel lousy, regardless of the cause! You should keep a written hourly record of the symptoms including temp and medication taken. Get well my friend. (y)

people are going to get tired of over-reaching government limitations. This won't last forever.

sorry...count me down as someone who is going to do what he wants to do.

You, me, and many others! There will always be those who want to control us under the guise of "public safety".
 
I'll just say that if everyone that was able to get the vaccine did, then we would be closer to getting back to normal. But as long as large groups don't believe in it, yet continue to think masks don't work and gather together with like-minded people, normal will be far away.
 
Even after I complete my doses in a couple of weeks, I will still assiduously wear the mask, but I probably won’t double mask. I suspect that after we have enough data to show that vaccinated people don’t transmit virus, mask regs for vaccinated people will be relaxed.

Re:J&J, the adverse events are incredibly uncommon, and this pause is intended to make sure we have a clear handle on risks. Heck, I think of all of the side effects listed on drug ads on TV and ask myself who would take it when I could have anything like that happen to me. The vaccine is a walk in the park by comparison.

My wife were just discussing the exact same thing last night.

I think there may be annual shots like there is for the flu, mutations are inevitable.

Is it OK to post this?

Covid variant from South Africa was able to ‘break through’ Pfizer vaccine in Israeli study

The coronavirus variant first discovered in South Africa is able to evade some of the protection of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to an Israeli study.

I read the actually study they are reporting on and the article itself is doing the public a large disservice. That's all I am going to say...it's ridiculous what the media (and all media) does to scientific and medical research.
 
Well yesterday sucked after second dose. But so far today I'm feeling almost 100%. Still have that metallic taste though.

As to JnJ, I suspect they'll start innoculating again soon. I personally avoided that one for moral reasons literally turned down an appt, but that doesn't mean the cocktail isn't safe. Just in my eyes morally compromised. So for the sake of humanity those who want it I hope they can get it.

I’m imagining that even if mandates do relax...we’re headed more towards the public social health mindset of high populace Asian regions - we’ll see masks worn regularly from now on, especially during travel or flu season, continued heavy use of personal sanitization products, less personal social greetings (what would be a Western equivalent to a bow? A wave? 🤔) so contact is minimized outside of normal social circles.

No frown from me on this. If you're sick, it's pretty uncool just walking around a spreading it. IMO there's a certain maturity in being able to at least don a mask if your sick and need to go out and take care of things.
 
All done with Pfizer jab-1! Apparently my morning workouts are noticeable, as the nurse asked me to relax my arm three times before finally saying "You have a lot of muscle." True story!! 💪 :p

Jab#2 is booked for early August. We do 16 weeks apart here in the North.
 
I caught Covid-19. I am still not even close to feeling normal. I'm told I'm no longer contagious. My low SPO2 levels are severely compromised my these masks; I almost always have to use an Amigo device if I go out. I will for the rest of my life wear a mask in public for what little protection it may afford me during flu season. I'll MOSTLY just not go out.

But I won't be getting a vaccine anytime soon. My body is still building antibodies, and that's good enough for me.

This is a coronavirus. So is the common cold. I RARELY touch my face, rub my eyes, pick my nose (or my friend's nose!) so I will just count on the 80% doing their part in getting jabbed and letting me benefit from the rest of the herd.

Before I had Covid my plan was to get the vaccine in November of 2021. Now I may or may not. It all depends on how this Summer plays out, reading between the lines of the various media outlets, and my overall health come November.

I just think we ALL need to appreciate more what I used to do for a living: Nurses. They probably have MORE responsibility for the least amount of pay, the most physically, emotionally, spiritually and emotionally job on the planet. And the frontline workers have been dealing with this for OVER A YEAR. How the vast majority of them are handling the burnout is beyond me.

Edit: for those of a mind to, I'm seeing my pulmonologist tomorrow. Prayers appreciated more than you can know.

I'll let you know tomorrow. They cancelled my last appointment after I arrived at the office, I'd SURELY not like a repeat tomorrow, LOL!

Will anything help, like zinc or a multivitamin, more fluids, Gatorade?
