January 14, 20214 yr https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/01/saliva-could-hold-clues-how-sick-you-will-get-covid-19 Quote To the known risk factors for developing severe COVID-19—age, male sex, or any of a series of underlying conditions—a new study adds one more: high levels of the virus in your saliva. Standard COVID-19 tests sample the nasal passage. But several new tests look for SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic coronavirus, in saliva, and the new work finds a striking correlation between high virus levels there and later hospitalization or death. If the results are confirmed, saliva tests could help doctors prioritize which patients in the early stages of the disease should receive medicines that drive down levels of the virus.

January 14, 20214 yr Quote The recorded death count from the Covid-19 pandemic as of Thursday is nearing 2 million. The true extent is far worse. More than 2.8 million people have lost their lives due to the pandemic, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of data from 59 countries and jurisdictions. This tally offers the most comprehensive view yet of the pandemic’s global impact. Deaths in these places last year surged more than 12% above average levels. Less than two-thirds of that surge has been attributed directly to Covid-19. Public-health experts believe that many, if not most, of the additional deaths were directly linked to the disease, particularly early in the pandemic when testing was sparse. Some of those excess deaths came from indirect fallout, from health-care disruptions, people avoiding the hospital and other issues. To better understand the pandemic’s global toll, the Journal compiled the most recent available data on deaths from all causes from countries with available records. These countries together account for roughly one-quarter of the world’s population but about three-quarters of all reported deaths from Covid-19 through late last year. The tally found more than 821,000 additional deaths that aren’t accounted for in governments’ official Covid-19 death counts.

January 14, 20214 yr With PA no longer requiring a doctor's order for this vaccine who is liable in this litigious society? Those who will be informing you in the future that you may by entitled to compensation want to know.

Yes I’m wondering how this works as you should be monitored at least 15min in case of adverse reactions.

Get my second shot Monday. I have been hearing similar stories from quite a few people. Didn’t have any side effects aside from a sore arm and a slight headache from the microchip after the first shot.

I also smoked for over 30 years but quit a few years ago. Figures I'd get COVID-19 after finally beating the smoking addiction. Right now my lungs have what they call ground glass opacity in the x-ray, looks scarred up pretty good. I have to go back next month for another x-ray to see if there is improvement (which my Doctor expects.) The shortness of breath thing is real, and it does linger. In my case it is gradually improving though, so I'm hopeful I'll recover close to normal. I was never hospitalized during the illness, and the only treatment I have now is a Symbicort inhaler to keep airways open but I don't need a rescue inhaler, which is good. Everybody responds differently, and I think I got off pretty light all things considered, but that M'ther F'ing Wuhan Flu (As I call it) is no joke from my perspective.
