Hugh Neilson Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 An interesting article on long COVID which will be dismissed by the anti-vaxxers. It indicates the vaccines reduce the odds of long COVID, while the risk rises with multiple infections, suggesting masks and social distancing remain relevant.

Joe Walsh Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 I'd heard that before. I hope everyone who is eligible will be getting their 2-shot shingles vaccine if they haven't done so already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still too damn young 😕 My wife is older than me, so I understand where you're coming from. Unfortunately in our case, she came down with shingles after she was eligible, but before she could actually get in there and get the first shot. Her terrible shingles experience prompted me to get them as soon as I was eligible. Hopefully you'll be fine until you can, too. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclevlad Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Y'know... It may be that I'm retired. And a homebody a lot. I do miss certain things, to be sure. But still, y'know...signs are that things are, well, mostly normal. Yeah, ok. *Mostly*. But understand. If you think it's gone? According to WorldOMeters, almost 200,000 Americans have died from Covid *this year*. OK, the rate was much higher in January and February, but since May, the death rate has remained right around 300. 300. Every Day. That's over 100,000 per year; it is, in fact, comparable to the number that die from diabetes. That's not gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragitsu Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I finished my five-day course of treatment roughly a week ago and I seem to be fine. There's always a chance I could relapse with the virus, but, for the moment, I'll be happy that modern medicine prevailed. unclevlad, rravenwood, pinecone and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attended. Didn't get in any LARPs, but that doesn't mean I couldn't have been exposed. Or my wife, my daughter, son-in-law, or any of the members of my weekly gaming group who also attended.
