The Virus Outbreak Thread

@RD4590  
I doubt that. And I’m pretty sure that most people were pointing fingers at your government (who I’m pretty sure was preparing to blame the USA before the virus went global), which the people pointing fingers at the people/race just using this as an excuse to be racist. Don’t generalize others if you don’t like being generalized yourself.

My aunt tested positive.

@Background Pony #DE80  
Oh no….

@Flutter_Lover  
Guess we’re both dying together, at least.

I have been tested for COVID-19 three times and I always get negative. It better stay that way.

@HorsesandMuchMOAR  
I’ve seen some decline from India. I’m very glad that some progress has been made.

Has anyone gotten their shot via a walk-in clinic? I think Walmart and CVS offers them, and I hate making appointments.

Still no word from the pharmacy about getting one. I’m still on the list but I think I’m going to have to find another place. Still want Moderna since the people I know who got it haven’t had reactions.

I got my first dose of The Comirnaty vaccine today.

My friend is considering on having an allergy test to see if he’s eligible or not to take the vaccine. Is that beneficial before one is afraid of taking it?

@Flutter_Lover  
There’s nothing wrong with taking an allergy test. In fact it’s compulsory sometimes.

Honestly it’s a good thing to get one in your life anyway.
 
Had a friend who kept getting really ill from time to time and never knew why.
 
Turned out he was mildly allergic to a few fruits and other foods that he had been eating.

Apparently the new CDC Mask Guidelines is causing confusion.

A new hall has been set up for AstraZenaca vaccinations in the Klang Valley, Malaysia.

A man a few doors down from me - a friend of a friend no less - died from Covid. Saw the ambulances as I was coming home.
 
Spooked me enough that I went and told my mother “I don’t care how you worried you feel about the vaccine, I’m scheduling you an appointment.” It just literally hit too close to home this time.

@Dustcan  
I’m sorry to hear about that

@Dustcan  
I’m so sorry for your loss. 😔

@Dustcan  
A friend of my parents is also close to death, except from something else.

@Flutter_Lover
 
I didn’t know the guy? He was my friend’s friend. I’m sad for my friend, and for another death in general, but other than that I didn’t lose anyone.

@Dustcan  
Oh, my bad.

The space between AstraZenaca jabs has been updated to 12 weeks, or over two months, based on medical data.

Now in the US, major restaurant and shopping groups allow fully-vaccinated people not to wear masks.
