    he did and its true. I live in Texarkana and they hate Texas as much today as they did when they left for the SEC.

    Wife went in on her off day to do monoclonal antibody infusions to help reduce the backlog. Patient got up and hugged her when she was done and said you are so sweet for doing this. Lets see how the N95, face shield, gown and 2400 antibody count work out.

    Pfizer. My wife got her pfizer booster a week and a half before testing and read 2420. She's on a a lot of immunosuppressants for her RA and had zero side effects from all 3 shots so we were happy to see she had a response.

    I tested above range as well. The zero number means it didn't detect that you've had an actual covid infection so no natural antibodies(I think lol)

    Kind of how they are doing it here, except your first extra shift is time and half plus $600, the second+ is time and half plus $800 Some are trading. Some are just quitting and going to work for a home health/travel nurse agency and coming back to the same job/hospital at $150/hr instead of the $35-$40 they were making. The nurses that stay are then pissed off at making a third or less of what the person beside them is making.

    How effective is the vaccine while on immune suppressing drugs? My wife just had her 3rd shot and has had zero side effects from all 3 shots. I know the first two she quit taking the drugs for a week but dont think she did for the 3rd.

    She told me that a few weeks ago, it may be a little higher now but 30% is still higher than the general population in the area

    Wife has RA so she went to Target and got her 3rd shot today. She said the pharmacy tech didn't ask her anything about underlying conditions. She also got an email from the hospital she works at. They are going to pay every employee that gets/has had the vaccine $250. Currently about 30% of the employees are vaccinated.

    Nope, only if required which is nowhere in Texarkana. Last time I wore a mask was in June on my flight to Cabo. I had jury duty yesterday and I'd say about 10 out of 250 had a mask. It worked out to their advantage too, judge let them use the excuse of being concerned about sitting next to unmasked jurors as an excuse not to serve.

    Y'all still think we are going to get herd immunity

    Hospital my wife works at had 20 admits two weeks ago, 26 one week ago and 44 today.They are working on setting up their negative pressure floor again but running into staffing issues. They relied on a lot of RAC?(think thats what she called them) nurses during the last peak. Also, a lot of the PRNs that made a killing during the winter have been taking the summer off.

    Ive taken zero but had 3 antibody tests from donating blood. Going to Cabo in a couple weeks so will have to take my first if they dont lift the return test requirement by then.

    Wife and I are vaccinated. I asked the 16 year old if he wanted it and he said no. I havent asked the 13 year old but I bet his answer is the same. These kids have gone to school in person, played soccer, and hung out with friends all year. I'm not going to force them to take the vaccine if they arent comfortable with it at this point.

    i'll stay a poors(relativley speaking)

The state will offer a $100 savings bond to everyone between the ages of 16 and 35 who gets vaccinated, Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican, announced at a Monday briefing

    Guidelines are super simple for me. No mask unless I'm flying. Living in NE Texas makes it super easy to follow these simple guidelines.
