COVID-19 (artist formerly known as Wuhan strain novel Corona virus)

I had to get a test yesterday due to having a fever and got a result in 12 hours (negative). Pretty good time, was pleasantly surprised.

 

what sucks is that even still, no one will see me in person with a fever. Heal thyself, I guess.

 

Yup. You don't have many options right now. Should be able to do a tele-health, though.

 

perhaps soon we can screen for the most vulnerable, beyond demographics?

You should have antibodies IP.

 

Good grief. I travel to ONE forbidden jungle temple, eat some nice local and authentic fast food, and the whole world never stops coughing about it.

 

Give everyone interferon, got it.

 

Are we sure we develop long lasting immunological memory with this thing? Undetectable levels after 3 months doesn't seem to be unheard of.

 

I've had to take 2 of them, both took 48 hours

I dont have a good feeling about basketball

 

Uptick plateaued, but then started back up again. If it doesn't drop back down, we'll be back to 1k deaths per day before the month is out.

 

if you look at a state level and see recent actions in some the states with a lot of activity, you can bank on it getting there again at some point.

 

Moderna vaccine not available until spring...

 

also spikes in NYC hasidic jews, a blow for the low threshold for herd immunity theorists.

 

My greek buddy in queens has been pissed a them since the get go. Evidently at peak, funerals and other gatherings were going on as if they were immune.

 

said not widely available. i have heard people are having significant covid like side effects the first 48 hours after taking it.

 

Headaches fevers chills and injection site pain. Not significant, but different than most vaccines.

Moderna isn't even looking to get emergency use authorization until 2021.

 

correct, they have refused most measures. remember, the mayor made remarks about this that some interpreted as antisemitic.

 

Yeah widely available is the key there. Spring or summer 21. But at least one vaccine will be available by emergency authorization to vaccinate the at-risk late fall, I’d say.
