Been a little easier to cancel al our families holiday plans. Hospitalizations and deaths make it that way I suppose

That was pretty rude on their part. So many better ways to have relayed their thoughts and beliefs. I totally agree with the not willing to take a chance right now. I do agree with the thought of not getting a rushed vaccine though. I have COPD and I am going to go see my sister and her kids for Thanksgiving in Springfield. I trust that they have been being safe as they know that I have been being safe. Last edited by Chief Roundup; 11-15-2020 at 01:18 PM.. |

My sister has RA, Asthma and has been on some immune suppressing medications and with both the kids believing in being diligent about masking and social distancing I feel safe in making the trip. |

I don’t know about anyone else’s family, but at least in mine a typical Christmas is like 5-10x the super-spreader potential over Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is usually one event - 4-5 hours together. Christmas has people in town, multiple gatherings, mixings with in-laws, longer gatherings.
I just can’t even imagine if Thanksgiving turns into a huge super-spreader event which really starts to multiply heading into Christmas. And it seems like that’s exactly what’s going to happen in a lot of places. |

Well hell. Good friend of mine stopped by for diner last week. The next morning he was sick. A roller coaster of fever and chills along with no energy and general flu like symptoms. He got a covid test Friday, supposed to have results in 24 hrs. He still hasn't heard anything, it looks like the 24 hrs doesn't include the weekend.
I'm still stuck at home, isolating until he get's the results. I feel fine but he's getting worse. |

The beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX volunteers at an elder-care facility near us and they test volunteers each week. As part of this process, she had a Rapid Response Antigen test last Tuesday which returned as "positive".
No symptoms (other than kinda pissed). She just received the results of her follow-up PCR lab test (4-day turnaround) from Vanderbilt. Negative for COVID. I'm not sure if this helps anyone, but I thought I would share this anecdotal experience as you weave your own way through the mysteries and enigmas associated with the Fauxci Flu. FAX |

I hadn't really thought about this, but when the vaccine comes around and they're prioritizing who gets it, do the people who've had Covid go to the bottom of the list? They're highly resistant or immune already, right? The internet says they should get vaccinated because we don't know how long antibody resistance lasts, but it certainly lasts longer than the zero that a non-Covid person has.

Yes if you’ve had a confirmed covid case and recovered you should be lower priority of getting a vaccine early. We know they have immunity just not sure for how long per say.

These two plus Oxford make it very likely we’ll be out of this mess sooner than later
Add to that it looks like France and Spain have turned the corner using basically the same restrictions as Michigan is now using is good news that we can do this without a lock down |
