Got the call from the Pfizer folks. Looks like I'm going to get a booster developed for Omicron Friday.
Would this be your 4th shot? Or your "first" booster?
First booster.
I think I've said it here, I've been trying to hold out for them to call me since I used them in their trials the first time around. I was going to go ahead and get the booster this Friday since it's our first weekend in a while without anything planned so I was glad they called.
But it sounds like they might've given me this shot regardless of if I got the booster or not. From the little bit I've talked to them it sounds like the only thing they're really looking for is people who havent tested positive for Covid yet.
My sister is the best. She got me an ice cream delivery from ecreamery ice cream. 4 pints. Like seriously, how amazing. She knows the power it has over covid, obviously.

There’s a Iady I follow on Instagram, and every year at Valentine’s Day she buys her husband the like large cylinder of ice cream from Baskin-Robbins bc that’s the only time of year it comes out. Apparently they’re only like $80. 😂

Idk if this is the right thread anymore because his infection is from covid but isn't covid.
I'm losing it y'all. Being a full-time caregiver to someone that cannot do for themselves and working full-time is killing me. I'm not meant to be this person. It's killing Jeremy also. He won't ask for help from Kyle while I'm at work then I come home and he just needs me to do everything. It's a lot. Like so much. He needs ice packs changed, water/fluid, multiple medicines. He's in so much pain and the meds aren't doing much. I'm basically feeding him gummies to get him to rest and eat.
His follow-up appointment is Monday. Due to location of the infection it takes up to a week (at least) for the antibiotics to start really working. I'm exhausted, frustrated and hurting for him hurting. It's just too much.
Side note, he did tell me I was a queen. I responded 'I know, bitch" so that probably won't ever happen again. But it felt good to know he knows I'm trying my best. I just wish I felt like my best was enough. Idt it is. 😭😭😭

It is. None of us are perfect. He’s lucky to have you there handling shit. Also tell him I said hey and miss seeing him out and that I hope shit turns for the better soon.

I'm so sorry.
I believe that care of a loved one may be covered under the FMLA, though I'm not 100% on if it applies to your situation. It might be too short term or he may not qualify for you to be considered 'essential.' You may want to check with your union/HR to see if there is relief available to you.

If there’s anything we can do, please, don’t hesitate to ask.
Vieux how are things today? Much better for both of you I hope.
I have to get tested today to come back into the country. Fingers crossed.
Today (thejeremy's actual birthday) was a much better morning actually. He slept through the night and didn't wake up at 3am. He wasn't in excoriating pain when I work up at 4:30a. I gave him his antibiotic, pain medicine, water and some munchies. Kyle is leaving for drill today (for the weekend) so Jeremy is for real on his own. I packed up all his medicine in baggies labeled with the time that he is supposed to take them, plus I set the alarm. Then I prepped his lunch (lasagna) in the fridge on a plate so all he has to do is heat it up. I really really really hope he continues to improve throughout the day and follows my instructions.
Fingers crossed you are still negative. I hope you had a great trip.
I’ll be curious to see how this all plays out. Emerging science is that antibody response to Omicron isn’t as long-lasting as it is vs. other variants, but vaccine-induced antibody response has so far been stronger/more durable than infectious response, so maybe it’ll balance out?
Also, just how much more control does Bill Gates have over you than he does over the rest of us? Only time will tell, I suppose.

Is this why they are reducing the time from testing positive from 90 days to 45 days?
I don't think that made sense so for clarification purposes. At my work, if you test positive you don't have to test for 90 days again. BUT, they just reduced it to 45 days because of new studies/data. Is that why it was reduced to 45 days? Or is this something completely different? I might be swinging in left field with that question.

No person has control over me and my choices to take part in clinical trials for a Covid vaccine were made by myself and myself only.

Interestingly, they just posted the first study of an Omicron-specific booster in rhesus macaques...and the results weren't better than a received booster of the original shot. I mean, it should be noted that the regimen was two shots, then a booster, so I'm not sure how this would translate to people who've received three shots of OG vax and then get the Omicron booster.
I dunno. It's one study in an animal model, and there's still a lot to learn, and an Omicron-specific booster isn't the only tactic out there - there are also shots specific to other variants that could provide wider-ranging immunity, including vs. Omicron, and there's the pan-sarbecovirus vaccine being developed by the US Army...and, of course, the news about the OG vaccine vs. Omicron hasn't been bad, recently, with some studies showing, like, a 60% effectiveness vs. symptomatic disease and, of course, continued 90-something percent effectiveness vs. hospitalization and death. So, that's cool.
Kinda seems like we should be working towards vaccinating the world instead of putting a lot of effort into a variant specific booster for a variant that is on the decline in so many places.

Does anyone have some advice on how to know whether you are too sick to leave the house and be around people? I've had a bit of (what I think is) a sinus infection the past week (mostly just face pain/swelling, some cough in the morning) or so and felt really shitty (some coughing/what felt like a mild fever) this morning, but have started to feel better. I don't seem to have to have a fever now. Is it acceptable to go to a concert tonight provided I wear an n95 mask and check my temp again before going? I almost never leave my house and this was going to be my first foray back into society since November, but I'd like to be responsible when it comes to others health first and foremost. I'm just unsure where to draw the lines on this.

Did you take a rapid test?
I have not, because I didn't really think my symptoms line up with Covid. How rapid are those?

It's hard to say since you don't really know what you have other than some symptoms or even if you have something contagious at all. Different contagious and infectuous diseases have different periods of time when they are most likely to spread. It's going to come down to what you think is the best option to protect others since you want to be the first priority. Wearing an N-95 and distancing while you're out probably accomplishes most of that.
