Can I say that categorically? No. But if that sofa slug never leaves his mom's basement, won't he be less likely to come in contact with Covid? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have reason to doubt the contact tracing, unless you have a link? For me this seems like good news. Yah right , i have a bridge for sale if you are interested....

kingofsurrey Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) hmmmmm............ NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. -- When Upper Lynn Elementary School in North Vancouver emailed parents on Saturday to say there had been a COVID-19 exposure at the school last week, Craig Utian was concerned. Then, his son’s Grade 1 teacher sent a second email, saying she was the positive case. ”We were crossing fingers we were all going to be OK,” said Utian. On Monday, his six-year-old son Andrew began feeling sick. His fever was so high, he was taken to Lions Gate Hospital. The boy’s COVID-19 test came back positive that night. Andrew had been in close contact with his teacher two days before she tested positive. We just know that we did everything we possibly could this year to avoid this,” said Utian. “If masks had been mandated in schools, this stress and anxiety we are having and that potentially other parents could be having, certainly in that class, could have been avoided.” https://bc.ctvnews.ca/father-wants-school-mask-mandate-after-6-year-old-tests-positive-for-covid-19-1.5234933#_gus&_gucid=&_gup=twitter&_gsc=aJWQbJO Edited December 17, 2020 by kingofsurrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few people I know (including myself) in Dec-early feb had really bad symptoms one was hospitalised because of it. However although anti body tests are not guaranteed (and diminished the longer I’m between having them) none of us tested positive for antibodies. The strain of seasonal flu for 19-20 was particularly bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty basic stuff. No one is saying it's the end all be all but it certainly helps. The issue is people are confusing improving your odds, with immunity. And what's the improvement? Greater risk of not dying which is good. Still doesn't help if you were previously healthy, then your lungs get perforated by the effects of covid. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strain of seasonal flu for 19-20 was particularly bad. It was the sickest I've ever been....I never miss work but did. Was bed bound as I could barely get up. My son called me at one point and as I coughed he commented on how I should consider going to the hospital. But it was a month or two afterward of really feeling "off"...I've never wheezed in my life and walking over the bridge to a game, felt like I was out of gas and it was an all out effort to do so. The same with doing stairs here (I have 28 in my unit). It was disheartening, but I thought I just was out of shape after Christmas. Makes me wonder, like stawns, if it wasn't more than just a flu. In hearing how COVID can linger, that's the part that really connects the dots for me. As for the "being healthy" debate....it's one thing to have a strong immune system that may help increase your recovery odds, but that's not a guarantee and some almost want to dismiss the severity of COVID "because" they feel it somehow protects against contracting it...it doesn't. I'm doing things to try to stay/be healthy but I also don't use that as a shield and the most important things are the basics they're promoting: social distancing, hand washing, masks, no gatherings. The good health stuff should always be part of our mindset. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedestroyerofworlds Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 New Zealand also ensured that it purchased enough vaccines shots so that more than its population could get vaccinated. They ensured that its Polynesian neighbours Samoa, Tonga and Tuvalu could have access to the vaccines. Kinda like how our government secured excess vaccines. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/433029/govt-secures-another-two-covid-19-vaccines-pm-says-every-new-zealander-will-be-able-to-be-vaccinated Govt secures another two Covid-19 vaccines, PM says every New Zealander will be able to be vaccinated The government has secured another two vaccines, enough for every New Zealander and its Pacific partners, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
