For some reason my browser keeps cutting off part of the article, but some interesting points and mentions of immune system fatigue.

they didn’t put 4 lines on the card for shits and giggles. This was the whole plan. The scared people were naïve enough to not believe this.

Since you’re obviously in the know, what was the plan you are referring to?

Bro,… if you can’t see by now this was all an Illuminati scheme to get Urban Meyer in as Norte Dames next head coach then idk wtf to tell you,…

I think once the 5th shot goes into you everyone will get 5g and government mind control kicks in.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

The 4th shot is to reinforce complacency. The 5th shot will have the microchip in it. Duh

Welp, I managed to test positive on Christmas Eve, I've had symptoms for the last four days now. I had held off getting the shot, nearly got it a few times but the blood clot stuff spooked me out. My blood pressure has been borderline high as the pandemic has gone on, probably gone up as we've been eating more frozen food and contact-less delivery over the last two years. I've had some occasionally mild chest pains too, but only a handful of times over the last two years and barely worth mentioning.

So far the symptoms haven't been anything to write home about: low grade fever hanging around 99.5, off and on headache, a bit of tiredness, occasional cough. No shortness of breath, knock on wood. I've had worse flus, but I guess days 5-10 are where the most worry come. My wife has almost the same symptoms, but she's vaccinated and boosted, she's just not really running the fever. We're waiting on her PCR to come back still along with my daughter's who was only sick for a few days before she felt better. Probably Omicron I would guess given the light symptoms we're experiencing. I've started hitting vitamins and zinc, fever has been slightly lower today than it was the first three days.

Good luck. Get well soon. Check in so we know your okay. Prayers my man

Take care of yourself and the family my friend.

My respiratory symptoms have almost disappeared and now it seems like it’s more stomach issues and fatigue with joint pain. I had to get an official PCR test today to get paid for time off from work.

Hang in there! Hopefully it's Omicron and you're back to normal in no time.

Entire family, all vaccinated, 2/3 bolstered, have Covid now after my dad developed symptoms on Christmas Eve. All three have had on and off fevers, aches, and congestion but nothing severe thankfully. Even though I was exposed to him, I haven't developed symptoms ... at least not yet. Incubation period for Omicron seems to be pretty low so should know soon.

Speedy recovery to them. Symptoms seem similar to what my wife and I have.

Premier League now looking into the recent uptick in cardiac related issues within the football community. This comes less than a week after 23yr old Croatian footballer Marin Cacic collapsed and died of a cardiac related event during training.

Love that all these articles lead off with a giant image of Eriksen, who was...not vaccinated when he had his heart attack. Really depressing.

Just more proof tht soccer players are pussies as no other athletes seem to be affected in this manner. LOL

Guess you didn't read the article. It states it could possibly be Covid infection related not just vaccine. I am old enough to remember when the Big 10 shutdown their athletes out of fear due to Covid related myocarditis.

I had to laugh because I recently went to a D1 men's soccer game (family friend's kid) and ruffled some feathers. Three dudes went down on one play. The look on the trainer's face as he tried to figure out who to attend to was priceless (maybe someone is actually hurt or are they all faking it). That is when I commented they need to hire more trainers. Parents took offense to that. One guy tried to tell me how much it hurts to be kicked by a soccer player. Had to explain I trained Muay Thai for years and a couple of the pros out of the gym I trained fought in Thailand so I know what it feels like to be kicked by a mule. Guys 75 lbs lighter than me could bring a tear to your eye even with shin guards on.

SIAP
POTUS now says Covid can't be dealt with at the federal level. It must be dealt with it at the state level.

Here to derail this thread. I’ve been a Muay Thai guy for several years too and getting hit clean on the IT band with a dudes deadened shin or across the liver makes you question your life choices. But gotta say I love it. So much fun.

Really going to derail the thread. I tore my IT band a few years ago, but that was training jiu jitsu. Leg has not been the same since (affects the kicks too.)

Day 7. Temp seems more or less normal again although it was never that high to begin with. I've developed a bit of a sore throat, but otherwise my head feels better and I'm not as tired anymore. Had some mild chest pains a few times, but I took some baby Aspirin as a precaution. I've been taking Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc since about Day 3 and I've been feeling a bit better each day since. I'm almost symptom free so I'm hoping by Mon or Tues next week I can go out.
Finally heard back on my PCR test today which confirmed what we already knew via rapid test, not that it does me much good at this point Wife and daughter actually tested negative for COVID but tested positive for flu. How I got one and they got the other with neither getting both...I dunno. Probably a good thing though, as people were saying last year getting both together can lead to organ shut down.

Glad you're getting better. I had fever for 8 days but that was over a year ago.
.
The country had 470,000 cases today. New York 68,000 alone. We have 9 people out at work with it.

Also surprised my wife, who works 100% at home, didn't get it when I did. Tested negative 3 times in a week.

Excellent.

Appears COVID is making its rounds again here at work. One of my employees tested positive, so she's working from home. A second who works closely with the first called yesterday and said has a runny nose and wanted to come in, but wanted to get some direction before showing up. I told her to get tested and work from home until she gets her tests results. A third told me yesterday, the employee he had spent the last two days working with has COVID, so I sent him to work from home.

Report has not yet been peer reviewed but promising if true.

As the days and weeks have passed, the news about the severity of Omicron continues to be good news. The assumption (based upon other countries experirences) at this point is that cases will continue to explode, but the increase in hospitalizations should not increase in the same proportion. Boosters do help against Omicron, but from what I thought I read, the effectiveness wanes faster against Omicron than what it did against other variants. It seems like a small portion of the media is starting to point out that we should not be looking at cases, we should be looking at hospitalizations.

The limitation to the study is they assume only known prior infections represent prior infections. That likely underestimates omicron severity (omicron is better at infecting prior infections than delta, but previously infected people are at lower risk for admission than those totally naive to covid). It's probably inherently milder than delta, but not that much. The UK has also had more admissions than their projections and NHS is seeing a lot more workers out sick. The UK bears watching because they're a few weeks ahead of us. But they're far more vaccinated, especially in their elderly population.
