Coronavirus

What’s hybrid immunity? I’ve never heard of this before.

It is the combination of vaccination and immunity from natural infection.

On that topic, there is a new study out of Hong Kong that indicates that everyone is going to get Omicron and probably pretty quickly. It replicates in human bronchus 70 times faster than Delta. The good news is that it doesn't replicate well in the deep lungs (10 times less than Delta), so no pneumonia.

HKUMed finds Omicron SARS-CoV-2 can infect faster and better than Delta in human bronchus but with less severe infection in lung

HKUMed provides the first information on how the novel Variant of Concern of SARS-CoV-2, the Omicron SARS-CoV-2, infect human respiratory tract.

Thanks for the info both of you.

Ugh I hope I don’t get it. I just got over RSV. Missed 3 days of work and haven’t been able to work out or sleep well for almost 9 days. I wake up with coughing spells.

'Mild infection'? Much like how the Black Knight in Monty Python getting de-limbed was 'just a flesh wound?'

I had a “mild infection” of the original Covid and my taste and smell have never fully recovered.

I had a “mild infection” of the original Covid and my taste and smell have never fully recovered.

My wife's brother had it back in January and his taste is fine, but smell never returned.

I consider myself fortunate in that I don't believe I've ever had it and don't know anybody who's died from it (I have had work colleagues hospitalized), but recognize that I'm one of the lucky ones.

This is a classic example of what’s wrong with uncontrolled social media and the 24-hour news cycle. 99.9 percent of medical professionals know what’s up: masks help, social distance really helps, and vaccinations really, really help—this has been proven in the lab and in real-life, plus it’s also common sense. Yet there are these rogue “doctors” that spew this self-aggrandizing, inaccurate information supported by specious data or in most cases, no data at all. It’s an attention-getting ploy as an end to who-knows what means (money, power, look at me). Of course these are the ones FAUX News, et al, promote so this trash circulates among millions of anti-vax/Trumper **** wits who equate Dr. *** Clown with people who have an actual science-based agenda of keeping folks safe and healthy. That crowd desperately craves validation from someone with a degree, any degree and any opinion that aligns with their selfish recklessness so they can challenge the Fauci’s of the world, at least within their sewage-filled bubble. In the process the number of people they continue to get sick and kill are just casualties in the continuing war on truth.

I used to think humans wouldn’t make it another thousand years but since the pandemic I’m adjusting that number downward to 500. And I’ll bet anyone a paycheck I’m right about that.

I'll take that bet. Is the paycheck at today's value or what you'll be earning 500 years from now?

I bet you will both be dead 500 years from now. I will bet both of you my paycheck.

I know you're all curious what superpower the third shot brings, but so far, I've just been able to complete old-school Contra on the NES without losing a life which is a bit disappointing.

I will see you in 501 years to collect!


Heh. Sucker.

Sounds like the new variant will not only transmit itself more easily, but might be a bit more severe than was once feared now that more data has been collected and it's been spread. Hoping it's still less than Delta was symptom-wise and it sounds like that's the most likely case.

Hard to believe that Covid only got real when our very own Rudy Gobert got it and the OKC game was cancelled. Kind of surreal how that was the grand entrance of the pandemic of our times.
