[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why PP?  What is it about this booster just curious?[/quote]

My doctor and my kids' pediatrician weren't against the booster by any means, but they said not to expect it to have much of a benefit after about 2-3 months. I already knew that, but was a bit surprised they were both so up-front about it.[/quote]

Was he/she/they suggesting re-vaccinating every three months??[/quote]

No. I'm not that pp, but you definitely want to get the vaccine before respiratory virus season, when you will be indoors with more people. It's the same with the flu shot. [/quote]

There's a huge spike in flu cases in the winter, but only a relatively small increase in covid cases. It's really not comparable.[/quote]
Per the Washington Post, there is currently a Covid 19 spike occurring.[/quote]

Define "spike." A 20% increase isn't a spike, particularly when it comes at an expected time of year. [/quote]
In what world is 20% not a spike? It’s an absurd comment.
[/quote]

Look at what happens with flu cases every winter. That's a spike. Or the Delta and Omicron surges. A 20% increase isn't even noticeable except by looking at reported data.[/quote]

What are you even talking about with your 20% increase? Locally, we are heading to the second worst wave ever (currently at about last year's peak already, with New Years to go). And cases all year round - unlike the flu.[/quote]

17% increase in hospitalizations nationally over the last two weeks. In Maryland, it's only 8%. Deaths and even ICU admissions have remained low for nearly two years.

There's no spike, just a small increase. We've seen spikes before-- December 2020 and January 2022-- and this looks nothing like those.
