[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funny thing is that we will never know how many people actually get the new variant since the CDC is only counting positives for vaccinated individuals if they die or are hospitalized, also a “positive” for a vaccinated individual is recorded after 28 cycles of the PCR test, according to the CDC direction which is quite low. The CDC is purposely trying to limit the data before we even get it. Why?[/quote]

Because the tests can pick up dead virus in vaccinated individuals, that has absolutely no effect on them, nor is enough to be transmissible.[/quote]

But what about people who are sick, but just not sick enough to be hospitalized? We know from the past 18 months, that you can be really sick with Covid and not be deemed worthy of a hospital bed. I know at least 12 previously healthy people who were sick enough that they could not walk from bed to sofa but were sent home from the hospital. [/quote]

Sounds like a bout with the flu.[/quote]

Does the flu cause your oxygen levels to drop to 88 percent?  I was in the ER three times for supplemental oxygen. Does the flu cause permanent heart and lung damage?  COVID can.  I had fever for 13 long days.  Never heard of the flu causing two weeks of high fever.  Does it take three months to recover from the flu.  It took me almost that long to recover from COVID.

My case was considered “mild”.  I am 52 years old.  No other medical conditions.  A marathon runner.  Yoga teacher.  Personal trainer.  I’m in fantastic shape.  COVID was nothing like the flu for me.  [/quote]

This just scares me so much.  I'm immunocompromised and don't show any antibodies months after my second vaccine. Delta and whatever variants are to follow are concerning.[/quote]

If you are taking immune suppressors, you were supposed to talk to your doctor about stopping them before taking the vax.  That's what my family member with Crohn's did and yes, you stop the immune suppressors.

Also if you don't have antibodies at all, even months later, maybe you should talk about it now!

And if you are at a death-risk of Covid because of immune issues, you were of the flu before so you shouldn't have been leaving your house anyway.

I don't think Covid should give you sudden agoraphobia now.  The cases are as low as they are ever going to be. Covid is here to stay.  Just like flu, we knew there would be variants. Maybe you should see a therapist.[/quote]

I’m in the same boat as PP and not because of being on suppressants. I have myeloma. If there was a way to not leave my house and still be able to make a living and get medical treatment, that would be great! The only thing worse than incurable cancer is being impoverished with incurable cancer. [/quote]
