The variant is less deadly. Note the media only says its more contagious. #fearmongering
I haven’t heard this. All I’ve heard is that is more easily transmitted and it’s too early to tell if it’s more deadly.The variant is less deadly. Note the media only says its more contagious. #fearmongering
Less deadly means not causing DEATH.Long haulers wouldn't call it fearmongering though.
It’s been here a while.I haven’t heard this. All I’ve heard is that is more easily transmitted and it’s too early to tell if it’s more dearly.
But that would just mean we wouldn’t be able to tell how deadly it is not that it’s less deadly, right? It could be more deadly and that might explain why some people with no pre-existing conditions are dying while it’s otherwise affecting the elderly and compromised.It’s been here a while.
I thought it was a million or more and that’s counting the ones who have been tested.According to this as many as 500,000 people may have been infected. 10 times higher than China reported initially. Seems like it should still be higher but who knows what the count was when they started taking extreme measures to stop transmission.
And that senator was arguing about people how people would just order online from Amazon and Walmart.. why go to the store when you have this going on?
I am just going by the experts I listen to that said a while ago that there was a mutation out that that was more contagious and less deadly. I think the media heard about it also, but put a lid until the UK took decisive steps....But that would just mean we wouldn’t be able to tell how deadly it is not that it’s less deadly, right?

That’s terrible. The people that want to take it should have the opportunity.
In other words- eh you trippin’ put some Vicks vapor rub on it, man up and call me in the morning. This is obviously going to affect black and brown folks more than anyone else SMHThis really scary. We've been hearing about medical care potentially being rationed but I assumed it would happen at the hospital where you'd at least be seen by a doctor. Paramedics are basically deciding if you'll get a doctor's care.
A friend of mine got it after her epidural delivering her 3rd child. Its temporary.I knew someone years ago who had bells palsey. It was temporary but I think it was a few months before he was back to normal. I don't think he ever found out what caused it. I remember it was kind of scary because he looked like and thought he maybe had a stroke.
I saw this in the news. Florida needs to be ashamed.For the 65+ crowd, it was pandemonium. Police had to be called to remove those who were attempting to jump the line and even come into where health care workers were. Our local paper put out misinformation, my coworkers who take appointment calls have been cursed out by these older folk or their kin, and have had their lives threatened. Yesterday I consoled a 66 year old woman who takes the calls and was stressed.
I read the article but still dint understand. Did they give the drug intravenously ? Were people not asking why it needed to be given that way instead of an IM injection?? Lawd...Of course it happened in W. Virginia. I’d be
West Virginia health officials mistakenly gave 42 people Regeneron IV Covid treatment instead of vaccine shot
"It has been determined that this was an isolated incident," Julie Miller, an administrator for the Boone County Health Department, told CNBC by email.www.google.com
Nothing will shame Florida.I saw this in the news. Florida needs to be ashamed.
Thank you so much for this post. My aunt (retired anasthesiolgist) got hers today (don’t know if it was Pfizer or Moderna). I will be getting my vaccine when it is available. My concerns were mainly due to the Trump administration and the terrible blows to the FDA, CDC, that these institutions took in terms of credibility. Now that they will be back under a responsible government and Dr. Fauci has taken the shot along with prominent members of his administration I feel more comfortable. I would feel more comfortable with the Pfizer vaccine has because it was developed outside of Operation Warp speed and it’s influences with this current administration and things that In know about on the inside) but we will likely not have a chance to decide what vaccine we get.I took the vaccine this morning and other than mild soreness...I feel fine. I took it with Healthcare workers and other EMT, Fire, Paramedic and Health Department employees. For the 65+ crowd, it was pandemonium. Police had to be called to remove those who were attempting to jump the line and even come into where health care workers were. Our local paper put out misinformation, my coworkers who take appointment calls have been cursed out by these older folk or their kin, and have had their lives threatened. Yesterday I consoled a 66 year old woman who takes the calls and was stressed. I check in with the CDC with V-safe for a symptom check.
This afternoon, Dr. Bernard Ashby and about 20 other black docs invited me to a Clubhouse meeting to discuss the vaccine. There were 200 attendees. He wants me to speak next time. Its an open forum...all black folk-led. Straight no chaser. They had one dude come in asking about aborted fetal cells. They let the sister who studied cell biology and vaccines gently educate the brother. I loved hearing so many black women docs. There were plenty of black male docs and they all just vibed together so well. They deferred to whomever was the professional on the subject. Many black women docs were also PhDs who were like Microbiologists, Virologists, Lab clinicians IN ADDITION to having medical degrees. I was supposed to be doing my own coursework but let it go by the wayside bathing in all that Black Woman Magic and Black Male Excellence! They discussed the Bells Palsy and the forum was wild. Some docs had even opted out of the vaccine because they too had concerns. Everyone thought it was good they waited, while others were congratulated for taking the jump. No judgement...all love, down to earth. It was great. This is what's needed.
Majority of the physicians got the vaccine. One had fever the next day. I loved the brother who explained what all our symptoms were (the immune response starts at the injection site, hence the soreness), and the fevers are normal since, fever is the immune system doing its thing. Dr. Ashby says he did an antibody test and was antibody positive 6 days after the vaccine. We both got Moderna. We are hearing its 80% effective after dose 1. The next dose is 28 days later.
I like the Moderna bc its preservative free...sealed in a lipid envelope. Its been 12 hours and I've had mild soreness. That's all.Thank you so much for this post.

Lucky you! Fauci, Pence, Biden, and Harris all got Moderna.I like the Moderna bc its preservative free...sealed in a lipid envelope. Its been 12 hours and I've had mild soreness. That's all.
There have been several mutations. This latest most recent one is even more contagious and that is highly problematic. We haven’t been able to get ahead of the original C19 which is contagious enough so...It’s been here a while.
