I don’t know the degree of your exposure, but if you think there’s a reasonable chance you could’ve gotten it, I’d go get a rapid test today if you can. Obviously you want to know in general, but especially with your second dose tomorrow.

I wasn’t exposed, my son was at his baseball game. It’s outside, but there’s not a lot of social distancing between 5 year olds in the dugout. That was Saturday, so I probably wouldn’t even know for another week.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Scientists at Texas A&M University have identified a new variant of the coronavirus.
The variant was discovered by researchers at the school’s Global Health Research Complex. It’s called the BV-1 variant because of its origins in the Brazos Valley, scientists said.
The case was identified in a saliva sample taken from an off-campus A&M student on March 5, and the student tested positive again on March 25. Scientists said this may indicate the BV-1 variant causes a longer infection in adults age 18-24 than is typical for COVID-19. The student only suffered mild, cold-like symptoms and those symptoms were resolved by April 2.

I mentioned a while back that a dad on my son’s baseball team constantly bragged about entering places without a mask and ridiculed anyone that wore one. You’ll be completely shocked to find out that he’s extremely sick with covid and may be hospitalized. He infected his family and possibly my son’s team. I get my 2nd dose tomorrow, does anyone know how much protection one dose provides? 

This is anecdotal, but every person I knew like this caught it, and none of them had more than 1 day of feeling shitty.  Some never even felt it but got tested because spouse had it and tested positive.   Then the few guys I know that we’re serious about it and still got it, got wrecked.  One older (but in great shape) thought he was gone and eventually had to be admitted and make the calls to the kids and whatnot.   Im glad that some only caught it minor but it always seemed to work out to the guys that didn’t need any more voice to proclaim to everyone it wasn’t shit.  Irritating.

There is a point (coming soon) at which any adult who gets infected most certainly should be blamed for any possible infections resulting from their refusal to be vaccinated.  Now that the shot is readily available, there’s no excuse not to be vaccinated (with EXTREMELY rare exceptions).  And if you decide not to get the shot, then it’s your responsibility to ensure you take proper precautions as to not contract or spread covid.

The strain, BV-1, was found in one individual who had reported mild symptoms of COVID-19.

I disagree kind of.  They should be blamed for getting themselves infected, but not for infecting any other adult.  If they get any other adult infected, its that adult's fault that they themselves weren't vaccinated.  

As for kids getting infected, hard to point a finger at anyone.  They could get it from anywhere.

i'm potentially going to win the lotto today.  WTF is this shit?  They have 1 fucking case and feel comfortable spewing this crap?  

out of the 6K positive cases from the 84m vaxed in the US, is there a breakdown on variants?  Until there is data that a variant is rampaging through the vaxed population, we should tone down the doom and gloom about them being the next destroyer of worlds.

There can be more than one culpable party.  If one anti-vax fuckhead gets it from a kid, then gives it to another anti-vax fuckhead, fuckhead #1 is to blame both for his own infection AND the infection of fuckhead #2.  Fuckhead #2 shares blame for his own infection.

yeah, dude looks pretty foolish, but it seems every expert has hailed variants as very bad news with not much data to back it up.  there very well could be a variant out there that is truly resistant to the vaxes, but i don't think we have seen that yet.   Minn did sorta buck the national trend though and increased cases from that point.  But certainly not to the hyperbole of the attributed quote.

 

I don't know if scientist are truly worried about these variants and are trying to inject more urgency (fear) into the populous to get vaxed.  I get not leaning too hard the other way and saying no worries at all about the variants, but after the discovery of a variant and the initial claims that this one is/may/potentially resistant to current antibodies, i have not seen too much follow up that any variant is truly a c-c-c-c-combo breaker!  for the vaxed and recovered.  hope it stays that way and there is really not a need for a variant booster.  

 

[The Dog 43,805]

A big reason that we aren't seeing a huge spike IMHO is that the vaccines here (Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J) are pretty effective against the known variants. That doesn't mean a variant might show up that will break through these, but everyone is working on a booster to keep those at bay.
