Three days later I still feel off and my arm aches horribly, makes me wonder if the damn pharmacist punctured a nerve - I don't even think that's possible, I hope not. I clearly support getting vaccinated for any virus/disease but at this point I am going to trust my immune system and wearing a mask when out in public, washing hands, etc. One of the reasons I don't get up in arms about antivaxxers, it's a personal choice and it affects me in no shape or form. I may think they are stupid and have faulty logic, but it is still their life. imagine how you’ll feel with Long COVID after the vaccines wear off… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, thats just for this update. From now on it will probably be a yearly thing. With companies releasing new formulations depending on what's circulating. Recommendations might be different if you're immunocompromised or elderly though. Edited November 19, 2022 by Cooked Crack 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I didn't know it was that frequent. For all age groups? I'm 40 and in decent health, probably worse than I would like to admit, but definitely not horrible. Like I said I am an advocate of vaccines, I can't say for certain if I will or will not in the future. I stay home often and am rarely around more than 1 person at a time. Never tested positive, been tested about a dozen times, and don't believe I have ever contracted it. Feel like I am fairly low risk. If people want to get boosted every 2 months more power to them, I support that strongly. I've been reading about Long Covid, seems like the symptoms and definition varies.

You can read it how you want, but that is not what it says. It is the same same wording as what is used on the CDC website. Updated Boosters Are Recommended for Some People CDC recommends that people ages 5 years and older receive one updated (bivalent) booster if it has been at least 2 months since their last COVID-19 vaccine dose, whether that was: Their final primary series dose, or An original (monovalent) booster People who have gotten more than one original (monovalent) booster are also recommended to get an updated (bivalent) booster. “If it has been two months since their last booster” ”they say if it has been more than two months since your last booster” y’all are pathetic.

There is no recommendation other than to get one if it’s been more than two months since your last booster. So that is what I wrote. He didn’t ask about himself and I didn’t tell him when he should get his next booster. Because no one knows yet. It depends on the future variants and the vaccines ability to work against them.

China Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 China orders lockdowns, mass testing after record COVID surge China has ordered mass testing in the eastern city of Nanjing in Jiangsu province, the latest measure as the country for a second day in a row reported a record number of COVID-19 infections since the pandemic began. China on Friday reported more than 32,000 infections in the past 24 hours, up from more than 31,000 reported on Thursday. The vast majority of the cases have been asymptomatic. The numbers on Thursday and Friday surpassed a previous record set in April of just below 30,000 cases. That surge resulted in the commercial hub of Shanghai, home to 25 million people, being put under a two-month lockdown. The newest wave has been accompanied by restrictions slowly tightening across the country, which has pursued a controversial zero-COVID policy aimed at eradicating the virus completely.

China Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Protests erupt across China in unprecedented challenge to Xi Jinping’s zero-Covid policy Protests erupted across China on Saturday, including at universities and in Shanghai where hundreds chanted “Step down, Xi Jinping! Step down, Communist Party!” in an unprecedented show of defiance against the country’s stringent and increasingly costly zero-Covid policy. A deadly fire at an apartment block in Urumqi, the capital of the far western region of Xinjiang, which killed 10 people and injured nine on Thursday has acted as a catalyst for searing public anger, as videos emerged that seemed to suggest lockdown measures delayed firefighters from reaching the victims. On dozens of university campuses, students held gatherings or put up posters to grieve the dead from the Xinjiang fire and speak out against zero-Covid. In several cities, residents in locked-down neighborhoods tore down barriers and took to the streets, following mass anti-lockdown protests that swept Urumqi on Friday night. Such widespread scenes of anger and defiance – some of which stretched well into Sunday – are exceptionally rare in China, where the ruling Communist Party ruthlessly cracks down on all expressions of dissent. But three years into the pandemic, many people have been pushed to the brink by the government’s incessant use of lockdowns, Covid tests and quarantines. The ratcheting-up of restrictions in recent months, coupled with a series of heartbreaking deaths blamed on an over-zealous policing of the controls, has brought matters to a head.
