I got the Covid

[MossRoad]

"None of the 4 grand children have shown symptoms"

Of course.......but schools remain closed throughout much of the nation.

That's because children can and do catch the virus, many are asymptomatic, show now signs, take it home, infect their siblings, parents, extended family, etc...

Read up on it.

Dozens of my co-workers have been infected with covid, and to the best of my knowledge, non have been hospitalized. A few have had symptoms that are not flu like, but for the most part, they have compared it to the flu. One had an issue with blood clots.

Many of the inmates have had it as well, and non have been hospitalized because of it.

We have been offered the vaccine, as we are at higher risk than the public around us, and many of us are opting not to receive it, at least at this time.

Just curious as to why people are opting out at this time. I can completely understand not wanting to be a guinea pig. Any feelings about how long people are going to wait?

Yes, I have seen the videos. It slows the spread through the air drastically, which reduces the amount of airborne particles flying across the room to others, which reduces the transmission rate. The whole goal of getting everyone to wear masks is to lower the transmission rate, which means fewer infected people so the hospitals and health care system can catch up. :thumbsup:

Seems to be working well in California.

"Read up on it".

Of course!
Just pick your day to do the reading!
What you read about Covid today, is different tomorrow.

Fauci is the authority?...... First masks not necessary,.... then necessary!
Kinda Kerry like: "I voted for it, before I voted against it".

Debbie Birx was off "Winterizing" her Summer home, WITH HER FAMILY!
Fauci & Birx tell us how it is, and what WE must do ???

One of the vaccines is really finicky as to how it's stored and used. My wife has reservations about that one.

Then main issue is if it's gonna actually be handled and administered correctly. That vaccine has also had a high number of severe reactions.

My wifes theory is that it's not being handled and administered correctly and that is causing the reactions.

The Moderna vaccine has had less adverse side effects as well as easier to handle. So there is a higher chance that it is administered correctly.

I would opt out if I was offered the physer vaccine for the reasoning above.

I wouldn't have an issue taking the Moderna vaccine.

I've posted before that my grandson has the virus and his wife tested to not have it, but has now tested to have it. And our son-in-law who is a funeral home manager got every sick during the night; don't know yet whether it's the covid, but he's sure been busy at the funeral home with the people who died from it.

There will always be the outliers, the oddballs, things or instances that dont fit into the norm. The last 2, 5, or .001 percent. Whether it be seatbelts or airbags effectiveness, albino deer, or Virus treatment related. Some folks like to focus on those for whatever reason. News sources do it to gain eyeballs and increase advertising revenue. I generally find playing the odds work out best.
