Last I saw it was, on average, better than that (mortality somewhere in the 20-40s depending on the study you look). With new techniques and management strategies the numbers seemed to be improving as the pandemic went on (initially mortality was much higher, I saw 80 once in a very early and small study) but I don't know how/if delta changes that now. Age is also another factor that increases risk. Hope he pulls through Di.

These anti-vaxxers are about to find out how much more insidious Delta is compared to OG covid. Same for parents on the fence about getting their kids vaxed. My kids are in between doses and we had to pull them out of school yesterday due to a close call. I am not at all interested in F'ing around and finding out now that we are so close to being able to fully protect them.
November 18, 20214 yr those of you who have gotten the booster, how hard did it hit you compared to the original vaccination?

Age is also another factor that increases risk. Hope he pulls through Di. I do too. I did look it up and saw different numbers as well. Like you said the studies are a little skewed since they are counting the really high numbers in the beginning. What I read about being mechanically ventilated is crazy. Are there different types of O2-the rate-and then the criteria to determine if it is helping him or not? It's a little over my head. Let alone the risk for further lung injury, loss of muscle mass, and other physical therapy issues he will have if by some miracle he comes out of it. 1 hour ago, Jsvand12 said: If he was intubated his chances are pretty grim unfortunately.

After seeing some of you in here with no adverse or different effects from the boosters shot, and it should get open to all adults within the next week or so, I went ahead and scheduled my booster. Sticking with the Moderna. Dec 1-just under 7 months out from 2nd dose.

Yeah they're managing the oxygen percentages, rate of air flow, positioning (prone) and other things much more differently than they did early in the pandemic. Not to mention waiting much later to intubate than they did before. All of which has led to the reduced mortality rates. They're pretty universally protocolized by now which is good. But yeah the recovery is going to be long when he's extubated unfortunately. Probably will need to be in a rehab nursing facility for awhile.

About 12 hours later had a fever and chills. I was fine by the next morning though. Went with moderna for all of them. I assume the side effects were slightly less for the booster because they give a half dose.

My second dose of Moderna caused a pretty strong reaction for 24 hours: head and body aches, fever up to 103. I got the booster 2 weeks ago and had a little soreness at the injection site and nothing else.
