I was just going to post the same thing. Wife works at the local state college. Generally, if there is a covid out break on campus, it is sports related. Same at the local high school. What about the older, out of shape teachers? Apparently Germ isn't concern about their well being. Before getting on your high horse... make sure it isn't a short legged jackass.
hope you both get well soon, Joe. Get the monoclonals ASAP, I am sure you qualify with your previous condition.
I don't give a crap if she believes in leprachauns, the treatment regiment they advocate is 1000% legit.
No idea, but a good number I’m sure, especially since so many people are obese. When I get an email from the medical director telling me the hospital is full, the ED is full, there is nowhere to transfer patients to and they are sending patients home that would normally get admitted there is a serious problem.
this is a good idea if you can get them. We get them in small batches and use them up rather quickly.
Getting it and having mild symptoms that you can deal with at home on your own is far different than being hospitalized for it.
don't deny that. This is a pretty bad wave. Are you seeing in your area that most of the patients start with stomach flu-type issues? My BiL and sister both did, and my friend is a nurse where she is and said that those are by far the predominant first-felt symptoms right now, followed by the taste/smell thing a few days later. She said it's very different than a year ago in that regard where stomach stuff was rare.
Son in law was denied the antibodies. Was told he was not a good candidate. He's mid 30's and in good health. Sooo, 5 days with a 102+ fever. What a joke. Our hospital has no beds available except maternity and has been that was for more than a month. Patients in the hallways, storage rooms, closets.
one of my guys has C19, he started getting stomach stuff Saturday, got a CVS test that came back positive Sunday, Monday he called his doctor's and they told him he didn't sound like he needed the monoclonals based on symptoms and age. Yesterday AM I called him yesterday to check in on him and his lungs are cruddy and he has no taste and smell and he tells me about the monoclonal thing. I told him he is in the same boat as my sister and about the same timeline and she's in the hospital now- so get the damn antibodies. And oh, he's double shotted as of Nov 14.
that was an outright lie- everyone is a good candidate (assuming there are no allergy issues and they have been symptomatic for less than 10 days.) What they should have said was that he was not a priority, based on age/health and as @Hotrod9 experienced, ethnicity equity.
I know of a few cases that have presented with GI symptoms. Unfortunately we are basically having to ration care as there simply aren’t enough of the monoclonals to go around at the moment.
Not me personally but our HR/Secretary/ Office Administrative gal. I work with her every day, mid 50's relatively healthy and Caucasian.
I had a coworker who was boosterd and still got it he had no problem getting the monoclonals. He is mid 50's not over weight no health issues, his wife is in upper level management at a health facility wonder if that had something to do with it?
Went to the Dr. Monday, I let him talk me into getting the booster. He didn't push it on me or try to tell me I was at risk, etc., just asked if I planned on getting the booster shot. Told him it wasn't so much the shot itself that has me reluctant, but the push by mostly one side of the political parties and threats of get the jabs or else. I see no reason to keep getting shots if they basically wear off and no one knows how many it is going to take. Told him it would be the final shot I get, I trust my immune system more than I trust Democrat control. After I get it I think I am going to hand write Mr. Prickster a GFY letter and drop it in the box along with some dieting information. Effing slob now has Whitehouse aspirations, again GFY.
