I only had a slight fever from Delta, a bit tired, and a little bit of a cough. My wife had no symptoms other than being tired, and did not get tested.

We're done with this thing. Just gonna live life now, without limits.

Natural infections (3 total - 1 after 2 vax, 1 after booster, 1 March 2020), 2 Moderna, 1 Pfizer. 

We're good.

only thing you can do unfortunately, since the vaccines do not work at stopping this virus in it's tracks. doesn't matter if you're vaxxed 37 times and boosted another 27- you're going to catch COVID and you're going to spread it. this thing will not be driven to extinction, as the vaccines we have for it are leaky and do not prevent transmission. it's endemic, it will be with humans forever.

What they need to do is amp the F up production of the monoclonal antibodies. Those things are liquid gold and work like a freaking charm.

I'm happy with getting the vaccine to decrease my odds of ending up in the hospital.

Of course, just the normal regimen of 2 doses does that as effectively as 2+booster, according to the most recent UK data.  So the incremental benefit of boosters seems  minimal-to-negligible at this point, that is, according to THE SCIENCE.

I'll be interested to see if we can get any decent data out of the US to follow up on that published data from the UK a couple of weeks ago.

The UK has deemed Covid to be over. 

No more mandates, vax passports, masks, nothing.

COVID never even started in some areas of the US I've been through in the past couple years. :)

Anyway, they appear to be on their downward slope of Omicron and I think they can afford to say that.  We've still got a couple of weeks, to ensure that the hospitalizations/ICU/deaths stay low enough relative to case counts to keep from overrunning our healthcare system, and then I think we'll see at least SOME regions in the USA make the same declaration.

The good thing is that the UK is showing the same pattern of decline as South Africa. I was a little bit worried that there was going to be a northern/southern hemisphere component that we hadn't really looked at... South Africa is in the middle of summer while the UK (and the US) are in the middle of winter, so I was concerned we'd have a much different shape to the cases graph.

I think this might be why South Africa's cases never peaked at 3x the rate of any other time in the pandemic. Also why their Delta wave was shorter duration and burned out while the US/UK were more of a slow burn--they were hit in winter heading into spring while the US hit Delta late summer heading into fall. 

Based on the worldometers data, we increasingly look like we've hit our "peak" in cases. Still a couple more days to know 100%, but I think we're over that hump. As I've said already, I think deaths are going to climb over the next 2 weeks (as they did in the UK), but I don't know that they'll be at an unmanageable level for the healthcare system.

Looks like my county has had 12 deaths so far in 2022.  All were older, most in their 70's/80's.  Not sure how this differs any from last year, but it doesn't seem too bad being next door to the 4th largest metro area in the US.  

The 5th one down is my friends dad.

Met Council sanitary sewer data suggests that the peak in the Twin Cities happened ~January 10.

Cases are so backlogged that the daily report of cases are almost a week old.

Biden’s FDA just pulled EUA for two different companies monoclonal antibodies,  putting a screeching halt on monoclonal antibody shipments. Florida has been forced to shut down their monoclonal treatment sites, because they flat out cannot get them anymore.

This is downright criminal, asinine, and insane. Those f***king things are liquid gold. I had Covid bad and was getting worse by the minute. Did not get any better at all until I got those monoclonals. Bounced back in two days like nothing happened.

This is f***king insane. Biden is an even dumber, bigger piece of shit than I thought. FYI, Pfizer and Moderna are making OVER $1,000 in profit every single SECOND from the Covid vaccines and boosters. PROFIT. Not revenue. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

They have weaponized medicines and turned everything political.

The stupid piece of shit is trying to make them impossible to get in order to strong arm people into having to take a flawed experimental leaky vaccine that doesn’t work AT ALL at stopping spread or infection.

My pure guess here is that this is all done in order to protect the profits of Pfizer and Moderna who are literally printing money by giving everyone 3-4 shots of their experimental vaccine and are talking about giving people a new booster shot or two every year in perpetuity. That’s not a vaccine. I don’t even know what that is.

Yeah, that's my thinking too. When our governor started promoting the treatment, people (certain media, liberals) were critical. They all had to STFU because the stuff was working.

The Feds took over the distribution, and poof.

Their stated reason, is that they are not effective against Omicron, which is currently the only main variant within the US.
