Ladies, keep wearing your masks.
Teen boy dies a few days after receiving second COVID vaccine shot
Report of boy’s death after second vaccine shot comes the same week a CDC panel considered reports of heart inflammation mostly in teen boys and concluded COVID-19 is still riskier to kids.www.google.com
That’s so sad. My son is doing fine. I wonder if there are any underlying conditions causing this reaction?Teen boy dies a few days after receiving second COVID vaccine shot

Good question. I feel the best offense / defense? is to get as healthy as you can. Not a popular opinion, I know. Look at Israel those people are not protected against the variant! The media is lying to you….Opinion | Are Covid Vaccines Riskier Than Advertised?
There are concerning trends on blood clots and low platelets, not that the authorities will tell you.www.wsj.com
It’s not an either/or situation for most people in this thread. It’s both.Good question. I feel the best offense / defense? is to get as healthy as you can. Not a popular opinion, I know. Look at Israel those people are not protected against the variant! The media is lying to you….
I spoke to my friend, Dr. A who is a black cardiologist who is a regular on Joy Reid's show. He and I discussed yesterday his concerns with the risk. He believes (as a doc who has never had COVID, and one of the first like myself to be vaccinated in December) that if you have had COVID-19, your immunity is about the same as that of someone who has been vaccinated. He wants the CDC to update recommendations. I told him that I still believe in mask-wearing because people lie and still have behaviors that don't keep others safe, and we agreed. He shared a study that is about to come out (I think its Cleveland Clinic) and it shows the same level of protection: ~95% in those who have had COVID and those who were vaccinated.Opinion | Are Covid Vaccines Riskier Than Advertised?

So look for that. His concern is also the safety of the vaccine for the vulnerable. And almost all of his patients are heart patients.
Dangerous variant exploiting Australia's weaknesses
Frances Mao, BBC News Sydney
" Just a week ago Sydney was still in near Covid-free bliss - with people packed into restaurants and dancing in clubs.
But the swift spread of Delta has upended the "new normal". The strain is now linked to three of four clusters affecting Australia.
Experts say the nation's defences have been beaten, multiple times, by the powerful variant. It's breached hotel quarantine several times, raising concerns about air transmission. It's also managed to break through relaxed distancing rules in society, latching onto unprotected workers. Mask-wearing is now back in almost every state in Australia.
In Sydney, officials say the virus is infecting 100% of household contacts when it's brought into a home. It's too early to tell if this lockdown will contain it, according to experts. Low vaccination rates have also left Australians vulnerable.
One expert told me it's a "perfect storm" for "what is now easily the most dominant variant in the world". 2px presentational grey line NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard has described the Delta variant which was first detected in India as a "very formidable foe". "No matter what defensive steps we're taking at the moment, the virus seems to understand how to counter-attack."
Australia has maintained very low rates of Covid transmission throughout the pandemic due to a closed-border policy, stringent quarantine and swift testing and tracing systems.
It has recorded no deaths this year, but 910 deaths and 30,450 cases overall. The newer, more infectious Covid variants however, have strained the nation's defences - with several small outbreaks this year."]
Whew, yeah, this variant sounds very contagious!
It's getting smarter and smarter. What do you want to bet that although the recovery rate associated with Delta Plus is high, that it will mutate further to become more deadly."The Delta variant has different symptoms than the previous variants.
Symptoms are headache, fever, sore throat, then runny nose.
The variant shares symptoms with the common cold and people may not realize they have covid and not a cold.
However the new Delta Plus variant has all the symptoms. the Delta Plus variant carries symptoms of the Delta as well as its partner the Beta variant. Some of these symptoms include cough, diarrhea, fever, headache, skin rash, discolouration of fingers and toes, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
Other symptoms listed by the experts and attributed to the Delta Plus variant are: stomache ache, nausea and loss of app."
Delta Plus In India: 60% Cases Are Either Asymptomatic or Have Mild Symptoms
Though 4 out of nearly 50 cases have succumbed to the delta plus, other epidemiological parameters look very assuring. However, it's too early to arrive at any conclusion.
Actually my cousin said a cough she had cleared up when she got the shot. Good for her, I say.This man just told me that he lost his sense of smell and taste when he was a child and that it came back after he got his second Pfizer shot. He was so happy and excited. I bet that he is going around smelling and eating all of the things.
It's getting smarter and smarter. What do you want to bet that although the recovery rate associated with Delta Plus is high, that it will mutate further to become more deadly.
They really think they are gonna get people to put their masks back on?Covid cases in LA are low but they saw the number jump from double to triple digits in the last week so they issued a recommendation for people to wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status. It's only a recommendation so it's voluntary but I'm guessing they are expecting to see the numbers increase to four digits following the Independence Day holiday.
They already know that the staunch anti maskers aren't going to budge but they at least want it out there so that folks can't come back down the line talking about "nobody told us".They really think they are gonna get people to put their masks back on?
That math ain't adding up! Glad you got out of there!Stats are that approximately 30% of US adults are vaccinated and CDC says if you're fully vacinnatrd you no longer need to wear a mask, right? Went to the mall this weekend and nearly 100% of the people were not wearing masks! I was in and out!
Just saw today that the percentage of fully vaccinated adults is actually 57%. Not nearly enough but way more than 30%.
How are the COVID-19 vaccine and booster campaigns going in your state?
The U.S. is striving to vaccinate as many people as possible against COVID-19 — and keep them up-to-date with boosters. But some states are lagging behind. See how yours is faring.www.npr.org
