welp, doc is pretty sure i've got the covid

course there's only one rapid testing site nearish me but tbh it doesn't really matter if i have an official diagnosis 'cause my doc is pretty sure just based on symptoms

i've been socially isolating this whole time. haven't actually been anywhere that's not on my property since the 2nd. maybe my wife is an asymptomatic carrier who caught it at a grocery store and gave it to me but idk

who ever even really knows

this sucks

great, do keep your kids safe. do take care making too many decisions about unknowable far-flung future side effects though, as you'll be in antivaxx territory very quickly. we will absolutely not know the long-term effects of a covid vaccine once it rolls around, especially as the only candidates likely to make it in the next few years will be of types never before approved for human use.

we're less than 3 months in to the most severe pandemic in 100 years

but sure, being cautious about whether asymptomatic kids will have issues within the next few months definitely gets into antivaxx territory

i'm still lolling at how badly the actual dangers of covid were messaged. there's are still people out there who think it's just like the flu except a little worse or exclusively a respiratory virus that can only cause lung damage

meanwhile it turns out that covid can (and does) affect any system that has an abundance of ace2 receptors which, while definitely including the nose, mouth, and lungs, also includes the gi system, kidneys, liver, heart, and vascular system

we're in for a rough time as more people get infected

this is not to say that I don't appreciate your input, i just don't think that therapy is going to be sufficient for me to find happiness again (and i won't do psych meds). Only time and hard work will get me out of this one.

therapy isn't a competition where the goal is to get more happiness

one of the people was sick in the middle of january ffs.

uhhh, there's a really good chance it was on the west coast in december 2019 and that a whole lot of people had it when they thought they had the flu

also antibody testing is still not readily available or close to accurate nor does it actually indicate whether someone had the virus, just that they had it within the past 6 weeks or so

PCjr sidecar posted:

Specifically targeted antibodies decline (normal) but t cell memory seems to persist so some bad reporting on the former gave the impression that there’s no retained immunity.

Most of the reinfection reports aren’t particularly clear whether it’s reinfection or the same detection with an intermediate false neg or initial false pos.

it's almost guaranteed that this is the case given the false negative rate for pcr tests and how dependent they are on the quality of the test application

while this is stuff that is clearly in the category of things we don't *know*, obviously immunity is at least 6 months or you'd have to come up with some very surprising explanation of the steep dropoff of hospitalizations and lack of demonstrated reinfections in europe

tbh this is what i keep coming back to

like if there wasn't something protecting folks who have recovered we'd definitely have seen or currently see a wave of reinfections even considering how successfully some countries have squashed their daily case level
