nCoV public service announcement. (IMPORTANT)

Ahahahahaha

Anthrax they say. Pity about that dumbarse Doug. Looks like he's all fucked up and on his way to hell.

I have been exposed now My father came to pick up my son yesterday for a visit, and someone in their household just tested positive this morning. F.

How lucky you are.
People who get covid are idiots( in your case, the person in the household is an idiot).
People who get covid TWICE are stupider than D1.

With omicron transmissibility being as strong as it is, I don't think it's fair to say people who get infected are idiots. This latest variant is really REALLY good at finding new hosts.

My stepbrother remains asymptomatic. But a positive PCR test is a positive PCR test so now we have to all do the quarantine and testing thing.

Wear masks thicker than a magazine and get vaxxed.
Follow covid laws and you'll be fine.

go out and buy some food before stores close and you become infectious.

hunkerdown

binge watch tv

good luck

"see you" in 2-3wks

Why go out and buy food? I'm sure America is developed enough to buy online from grocery stores and home deliver.

Omicron sure is a bastard.

The original strain of SARS-CoV-2 has an R0 of 2·5, while the delta variant (B.1.617.2) has an R0 of just under 7. Martin Hibberd, professor of emerging infectious diseases at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (London, UK), reckons omicron's R0 could be as high as 10.

Canberra has gone from single digit case numbers a day to triple digits. After the scale of Christmas and New Years gatherings are realised, we will have thousands in a day. Oh well. We're pretty much all vaccinated. No one is in ICU or requires ventilation despite the thousands currently infected.

That's probably because the vaxx is doing some work and making them get mild covid.

Agreed. While stats might say they have 'covid', the reality is almost all of them will probably shake it off without getting the actual disease. Infection sure but disease, no

Most vaxxed people get mild covid and recover.
Most unvaxxed people get severe covid and die.

why go buy food?
because ordering out for 4people+delivery+tip is expensive.




get some kleenex too

Time to kick back, relax and catch up on Netflix.

I just started watching The Silent Sea.  15 minutes in and it looks incredibly stupid but it's Korean so I think it might be Squid Game but in space.  Or maybe not every Korean series is Squid Game.  I haven't seen enough Korean TV shows to say.

I'm talking about regular grocery shopping. Why go out for that if you dont have to? Delivery for the groceries for me is $4. No obligation to tip in this country. They do the shopping and drop it off at your door. Sure beats driving to and from the shops and sharing the airspace with covid infected mouth breathers

Gotcha

Not always available everywhere.

My area has curb side pickup and at times is meh.
Teenagers dont always pick out the best stuff.

Plus he has ~2days before hes infectius
Wear a mask.
Should be fine.

I thought Omicron could be infectious 2 or 3 days before you develop symptoms. Kabool is trying to spread the corone!

I hope you didn't catch it, boydster. Hopefully if you did, it will be the mild or asymptomatic version since you've been vaccinated.

GO BUY ALL THE TOILET PAPER.

Kabool is talking about the latency period. Which is apparently around 2 days. Still, I'd become a hermit to my loved ones just to be on the safe side but take the opportunity to visit some QAnon get togethers for some laughs

arlight

to be safe and not be taken out of context - stay everyone!



my sister in law went to hang out with my antivasker cousin in law.
the CIL was attending antivasker festivals.
the SIL asked if it was ok to visit her unmasked and well, it wa ssummer, they were visting at the cottage i said ya should be safe enough.
and sure as shit on the facebook we see this dumbass sitting hugging on an outside couch and CIL holding SIL's 6mo baby.
"but we were outside"...
brilliant
no one had it though, luckily.

anyways
rule of thumb became - don't breath on anyone and don't breath anyone else's air.

Great recommendation, Crouton, I will check out Space Squid Game for sure.

As far as how exposed my household is feeling, I kind of think we're going to be fine. My dad wasn't around my stepbrother very much, and stepbro had only been visiting them for a few days. So when my dad came over, he would have been only 2-3 days since exposure, and then he was only here for like 10-15 minutes before he left and while we were sitting closer than 6' apart, it wasn't much closer.

However, my son is there and he was definitely hanging out with THE INFECTED ONE playing video games and stuff until probably very early in the morning. He's triple-dosed on his vaccine. Stepbrother is triple dosed, but only got his 3rd dose on Tuesday last week so it hadn't taken full effect for him yet.

I'm probably irrationally overconfident that it's the omicron version of the bug since it's so prevalent right now and seems pretty adept at causing breakthrough cases. But I'm hopeful it's the new one because it seems to be "safer" in terms of sending fewer people to the ICU. Especially vaccinated people.

Hopefully all will be mild if anything at all.

As for the space squid game, Silent Sea, I'm on episode four. It's basically a mash-up of Alien/Aliens, Contagion with a dystopian underpinning akin to what caused Waterworld to become water world. I't not great, by any means. But, it's pretty good for hunkering down time and just to see what sci-fi/dystopian horror trope they will chuck into the mix next.

Also I'm digging 'Station 11'. Infinitely better than the above, but very dark and relevant. I think that's on HBO Max.

Ooo I will have to check that out, thank you sir!

Just to put some much needed perspective on the vaccine and myocarditis

Myocarditis risk from the vaccine is 1-2 in every 100K doses given (according to TGA Australia)

But whats the risk of myocarditis from an actual sars cov2 infection?

https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25133462-800-myocarditis-is-more-common-after-covid-19-infection-than-vaccination/

HEART inflammation triggered by some covid-19 vaccines has been a concern, especially in younger people, but a preliminary study suggests that in those most affected, it is six times more likely to occur after a coronavirus infection than after vaccination.

Chances are, if you get myocarditis from a vaccine, you were sure as shit going to get it from the full blown viral infection. Myocarditis is also often easily resolved on its own, even without treatment. But imagine if you were battling covid at the time? Your prognosis would not be as good

But why are we only hearing about myocarditis now? Is it unique to covid vaccines? Well despite being classed as rare, it occurs much more often then you'd think

https://www.myocarditisfoundation.org/about-myocarditis/

Myocarditis is classified as a rare disease but is estimated to affect thousands of adults and children in the U.S. and around the world each year. 3.1 million cases of myocarditis were diagnosed in 2017 (statistics posted in Lancet, November 2018).

3.1 million. Years before covid existed

We vaccinate entire populations in short order. So chances are you are going to have more than a few pop up with myocarditis whether they had the vaccine or not.

It is odd people balk at a vaccine with its uber low risk profile but dismiss the orders of magnitude higher risk of not just serious and permanent internal damage but DEATH from covid.

Other style vaccines such as AstraZenica have also had myocarditis attributed to them
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/965000

The first large population study to investigate the association between different COVID-19 vaccines types and cardiac effects and adverse events shows a small increase in the risk for acute myocarditis with both the mRNA-based vaccines and — in what may a first in the literature — an adenovirus-vector vaccine.

The excess risk was seen following the first dose of the ChAdOc1 (AstraZeneca/Oxford), the adenovirus-based vaccine, and the mRNA-based BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech). It was observed after first and second doses of the mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccine

It looks like it's not the 'vaccine' that is damaging people, it's the immune response. You can get your immune response from a vaccine which has no working virus or you can get your immune response from a full blown infection replicating out of control and fucking up your internals likely leading to early cancer, stroke or heart attacks post infection.

Perspective.... Go get some

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/new-variant-southern-france-found-22631670

A new mutant strain coming out of France but obviously lets pin in on some Cameroonian

A new variant is worrying scientists following an outbreak in southern France.

Twelve patients in the region have so far tested positive for the strain, which showed an 'atypical combination', reports the Express.

The index case had returned from travelling to Cameroon, suggesting it may have originated in the African country.

In a preprint paper, that is yet to be peer-reviewed, experts from a French government-back programme said they had identified '46 mutations' in the variant.

The variant has been given the name B.1.640.2 and was first detected by experts at the IHU Mediterranee Infection in Marseille.

The new variant in Covid-19 patients from Forcalquier, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region, was announced last month.

While new variants discovered all the time, it does not necessarily mean they will be more dangerous than Delta or Alpha.

What makes a variant more well-known and dangerous is its ability to multiply because of the number of mutations it has in relation to the original virus, like Omicron.

In the new preprint paper, dated December 29, scientists said: "SARS-CoV-2 variants have become a major virological, epidemiological and clinical concern, particularly with regard to the risk of escape from vaccine-induced immunity."

Five new covid cases at my stepfather's nursing home. Only one is a resident, the rest are staff.

Update on the boydster clan. My son, father, and stepmother all took antigen rapid tests on Sunday. They were all negative. Obviously, that's a good thing, but my concern there is that the antigen tests tend to be really effective at diagnosing symptomatic people, and much less-awesome when it comes to diagnosing asymptomatic people, so my boy is staying with grandpa until Wednesday for now.

We haven't taken any tests ourselves yet, we are just staying isolated for now. No symptoms to report or anything at this time. I have a feeling we're going to end up remaining unCOVIDified with this particular incident. Fingers are crossed.

Space Cowgirl, hopefully your stepfather is able to keep his distance. Sucks that it has been mostly staff members, that makes it harder to avoid since it's kind of their job to get up in your business.

He has been boosted, and had the corone last summer, so hopefully he'll be alright.

Another repugnicunt bites the dust

For perpetuating BS anti vax conspiracy theories which if she had any listeners that could be influenced by her lies, I say her death was deserved. God knows how much misery and death she contributed to. Of to hell she goes! 

Wow
People be nuts.




https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kelly-ernby-california-deputy-district-attorney-dies-covid-complications/



"I have received over 200 emails, DMs or tweets with death threats, people praising my friends death and/or those calling for us to die, in the last 24 hours," Ernby's friend, Ben Chapman, who is also the chairman of the Greater Costa Mesa Republicans, wrote on Facebook on Monday. "...My friend was not vaccinated and no one of credible source is making the claim she passed due to being vaccinated. Her husband and I have openly stated that she was not vaccinated."

At least she has that Herman Cain Award.  Her death was not in vain.

apparently being a 3x world champion doesn't mean you're healthy.


Kickboxing champion and staunch anti-vaxxer Fred Sinistra died recently due to complications with COVID-19 just days after discharging himself from the hospital. Rick Strom breaks it down. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!

After avoiding the corone for the whole pandemic so far, we've finally been exposed. One of my bloke's workmates/minions tested positive so now my bloke is banished to the basement in case he's harbouring disease.
