OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

[Lanny]

K. Just wanted to clarify my position. I'm getting my second vaccine dose this afternoon, so I'm all about having less restrictions!

The VA is now telling me that they don't consider the Pfizer vaccine to be fully effective for 6 weeks after getting the vaccine whereas when I got the shot they told me it would be effective in three weeks. When I quizzed them about this discrepancy I was met with silence.

I just got my second moderna and he said 14 days. I'm just ready to get along my merry way.

I was told two weeks. Suggest checking CDC.

 

[tlongII]

Today marks two weeks for me. I ain't wearing a mask any more unless it's required.

The VA was handing out Pfizer shots when I got mine but they told me the waiting period for maximum protection from the Moderna was 14 days, so you're good to go after 14 days.

So I should get a booster?

Is asking for proof of a coronavirus vaccination a HIPAA violation?

That's exactly how I feel.... except I'm talking about my pants!

Can you see over the driver's wheel without it?

I was saying that we need a legal opinion on that but now I'm leaning toward no.

Now that I am out and about, looking up favorite San Francisco restaurants. Sad, so many listed as temporarily or permanently closed.

 

[Shaboid]

Yup, definitely have flu like symptoms today.

 

[Hoopguru]

Yup, definitely have flu like symptoms today.

Sorry to hear that man....Have you been vaccinated?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Sorry to hear that, you should be over it in a day.

Yeah, got my second shot yesterday at about 4. Woke up this morning at 5 am, sweaty and cold.

Erick Fedde is vaccinated and tested positive. Max Scherzer feels he should be able to play.

Itll go away fast. My 2nd shot about noon, felt tired all day after, felt chills/achy througout night, but lunch next day felt normal.

Oh, I didnt realize you were having a reaction. Shouldn't last long though.

Had my 2nd shot and didn't feel a thing afterward. My wife said she was tired for a day or two after her 2nd shot, but that could've been just excuses to make me do everything around the house.

With both of mine I got all amp up afterwards, like I had snorted amphetamines or something.

Getting the second dose in a few hours. I want to play some football tonight but I don’t know how I’ll feel

Didn't wear a mask a gym today. I think there were only a couple of us old farts that didn't.
I could have flashed a 3x5 card at a distance and it would have passed.

 

[jonnyboy]

I’m reading that Oregon businesses will be required to make the unvaccinated wear a mask? The catch seems to be that OSHA is putting liability for any vaccine-related side effects on the employer in regards to the employee. I see a conflict here. That’s a lot of liability for businesses to take on, they may think twice now about enforcing that guideline, regardless of their opinion on vaccination.

 

[crandc]

My gym still requires masks.

Fox is, unsurprisingly, telling unvaccinated people to take off masks.

Saw a news report that dogs are being trained as Covid testers. Apparently they can tell the difference in scent of those infected. So at next Blazers S2 get-together @SlyPokerDog can be official Covid tester.
