My friend just scheduled his booster shot since he got the J&J and now qualifies. He's getting Moderna on Wednesday.

I will be doing the same. J&J on the first one, and will likely go Moderna next week.

Interesting. No concern about "compatability"? I didn't know that this was a thing.

Yeah, it was okayed by the FDA and CDC. Canada has been allowing it with the Astra Zeneca shot for some time now, and I think San Francisco or San Diego has been allowing it since the summer.

Evidently J&J + Moderna has excellent efficacy. :notbad: :fancy:

There's so many variables now, that's almost impossible to prove IMO.

Still, interesting path here. I'll probably get a booster eventually.

Sadly the days of colds and shit are back I think... as social distancing and whatnot is less prominent. My wife and a couple of friends of mine all were sick over the last two weeks, none of it COVID at least.

I'm in NY right now, a couple of restaurants were :aintcare: about showing proof of vaccine.

Speaking of cold, I have to say I did rock my mask to keep my face warm even when not a lot of people around me.
Also I feel a slight migraine that goes on and off (probably thinking a lot, which when it usually happens), kinda puts me in a :notsure: thought

There is something else going around that is super infectious that we're not talking about at the moment. It doesn't seem super severe. But its a nasty bug... I had it, my sig other, another friend, and my friends kid.

Last about 7-10 days
No fever
Sore throat
Insanely runny nose
Dry cough
Tough night sleep, most wake up every hr
Extreme fatigue for at least 2-4 days

So bizzarre I have never had anything like it. Also 3+ people got tested. And it doesn't show up as Covid.

I think we're more susceptible to bug taking us down because our immune systems are pretty weak from isolation. Not a BAD thing, but that seems to be a common trend now.

We're religious with vitamin supplements that focus on immune system health and so far, neither of us have had anything more than just some allergy related sniffles.

Yup we are very similar (per usual), but it took us both out. I have been Vitamin D + C +Zinc'ing etc.

Zinc occasionally, but you can over do zinc, so we only take that if we're in public more than usual.

I'm actually surprised that we haven't had a bug take us down yet, especially with all the travel I've been doing lately.

It's one case, but my daughter tested positive for Influenza A on Wednesday of last week and my wife and I have had exactly zero symptoms of anything despite not having had our flu vaccines yet. It took the one twin down for like 5 days, the other was sick for a full day, but my son had like two cases of diarrhea on Friday and then he was fine. We haven't been isolating, though...it's been pretty much NFG around here since the spring. I know, shame shame.

Kids in particular are supposed to get sick to build up immune system effectiveness right? Seems like getting the COVID stab then letting life go within reason is a decent way to go. :iono:

You kind of don't have a choice. If they go to school, they're going to be around a bunch of other germ factories all day. While their immune systems are stronger than adults', they're also seeing all of the world's pathogens for the first time.

Sadly I had a terrible allergy sniffle, usually caused by the draft. When days before corona was officially declared as a pandemic and just got to Turkey, I was gonna go to a small house party from my childhood friend, but my sniffle was so bad that they might've assume I had the 'rona. Which I ended up not going.

I'm not gonna lie, throughout the whole ordeal, I didn't even stay home (unless I was forced to, ie. lockdowns). Even in the beginning I maintained my distance with the mask on (and had to wear it by law in Turkey too). I rocked gloves cause I was taking the metro to visit grandparents where I forgot some of my stuff and they're super anal about it so I tried my best not to get them sick in anyway possible. Neither of my parents never got the 'rona, nor did my uncle, my grandparents, uncle's wife and a bunch of my friends. We got to gatherings and what not as long as the window was open, etc.

Not to mention, I experienced most of my pandemy life in a city just as crowded as new york, from trains, taxi's, ferrys where you can't even social distance. Ate indoors (but only in specific places that I trust). None of us had the 'rona when we could've. I think I'll probably trust my :sawce: immune system as well.
