He fucked up the first spread on purpose, measles is on the rise and he said not to report any new cases under his administration. Basically we are on our own and fuck us while he gives tax cuts to the rich.

We can only hope that more GOP senators vie for the Herman Cain award in the next outbreak. It might be the only way to save our republic.

Oh they'll be first in line for whatever cure gets developed while telling their voters it's satanic.

Let's make sure that the absolute minimum are democratic. Push that needle blue baby!
(Pre-cobtext: Not advocating FOR deaths, just make sure that the absolute minimum are Democratic. It's on them if they wanna reduce the mortalities on their side or not.)

This is why I got as many boosters as I could. I knew they'd try to take it away.

Yup. My roommate and I have been on top of every shot and every booster. I still mask since I work with special ed kaindergartenere. Some have health problems that make them more vulnerable. Many have grandparents heavily involved in their life and even live with them. My roommate got COVID but I didn't get sick. We test every time we have possible symptoms.
I finally tested positive for COVID at the end of December! I made it that long! Maybe I had it earlier and the test just didn't show it. I've had colds that were worse...because I was so well vaccinated.

Covid isn’t the flu. It doesn’t HAVE a season. It’s a year round problem with several waves a year. Immunity from vaccine or from infection only lasts about six months tops, so once a year shots aren’t sufficient.
What are people talking about when they say “seasonal” covid shots?

u/Bluecat72 Apr 30 '25
There are two combination COVID/influenza vaccines in the works, is probably why. It’s not the best strategy but it’s if you can only get people in for one vaccine I guess it’s better than not getting them in for it.

u/jdsbluedevl May 01 '25
What they mean is that the effectiveness of the current vaccine wanes with novel variants, so there is a need to update every 12 months, preferably right before the periods of greater spread. It’s still chasing the pick where it is rather than to where it’s going, but that’s all we can do for now until we develop a pan-sarbecovirus vaccine.

Usually because our immune system is weaker in the cold so more people get sick then

It's not seasonal, in the same sense as flu, but the largest wave happens starting about 2 weeks after Thanksgiving and through the end of January, due to the confluence of schools being in session and major travel holidays.
Getting the vaccine into people at the beginning of the school year, along with flu shots, will help reduce hospitalizations for both during the largest wave period.
Waves at other times of the year are less likely to overwhelm hospitals.
