swellist thanks. Our school rate has been low but general county area is averaging 4-5% transmission rates lately. I keep hearing cases are declining across the country and I don’t think we’ve been below 3% since August.

I would just like to get off the never ending cycle of not knowing what’s going on. DS2 started coughing at the end of daycare and is croaky, kids are out waiting on tests, and Ds1 told me 5 kids were out and 1 was sent home coughing and losing his voice. I swear we can’t catch a break. And this is why my mental health sucks. There is definitely something going on right now that's causing coughing and losing your voice. My youngest had it earlier this week (and still coughing) and my husband has it now. Negative for covid. Hopefully its the same for you guys.

How would a smart, respectful person respond to this: "If kids aren't dying or getting complications from covid , why can't they just get it and have natural immunities and get vaccine before college when there is more late on long term side effects" some people do not get natural immunity. Those that do have it for various times and no one knows why yet. They also have varying antibodies with no idea why yet. They can have residuals from covid. Auto immune disease, connective tissue issues, heart. I would rather roll the dice in a controlled setting knowing when and what vaccine they received then catching the virus and rolling the dice on outcome. This plus if the kids bring it home, vaccinated adults can get breakthrough cases, which may not be as deadly but can still be pretty miserable.

Croup causes laryngitis in older kids and adults and is everywhere right now 🤷🏼♀️

But also I don't know that I'd bother, their mind probably won't be changed.

"give my kid a trial vaccine for something they won't die or get very sick from, Kids also don't spread it like adults do , But can't you still spread it vaccinated, I'm making a choice for someone else" I just let it go in the name of self care.

Today, some of my family members found out others they thought were vaccinated are not, and thanksgiving is in disarray. My mom somehow ended up in the middle because she did not know their vaccination status was a secret (and she thinks she would have told anyway but might have gone about it differently).
Anyway, there will be a 93 year old, a chemo patient, and a newborn baby, is they can get bent and leave my mom the fuck alone.

Apparently since the other teacher's symptoms started Friday evening my classroom is not affected from her Wednesday session. It's good to know that COVID is keeping strict hours. If your classroom was exposed to the other teacher Wednesday, and their symptoms started Friday, now that it's Monday if no one new has shown symptoms I'd take that as a positive sign. In theory symptoms would have presented by now if anyone caught it.

Also, the cutoff is 48 hours, so it actually does make sense that they would say the contagious period began Wednesday evening.

I think H is going to go postal on the owner of the company any minute. He just found out via text that his boss was symptomatic all last week after lying to everyone that she wasn’t symptomatic and she’s been sending her kids to swim practice with Ds1 while they’ve had symptoms. Her joke was to him by the time her pcr tests are back she’ll already be out of her quarantine period.

We had an in-service today so we haven't seen any of our students yet, but one mom sent me an email about cold-like symptoms tonight.

However there are a ton of other things going around including HFM, a non covid respiratory thing, a GI thing, and strep sooooo it could be anything. Half of the class was snotty last week.

Honestly I think the “no one knows why yet” won’t have an answer. Everyone’s immune systems are different. There is physiologically no real way to tell how any one person will respond to either the vaccine or the pathogen itself. Same with any virus/bacteria/fungi.

Is there anyone that knows anything about mixing AstraZeneca and Pfizer or Moderna?
My uncle is here and he got two AstraZeneca shots in Colombia and is wondering if he should booster with a mRNA one. I’ve found a few articles that say one dose of AZ and one of P were great but I don’t have a ton of time to research it or look for info about 2 AZ and one P.

So im sure if the government is doing that wholesale they are comfortable with the safety profile.

I would get him a full Pfizer or a 3rd shot moderna. Not moderna booster as it is less.

We mixed AZ and Pfizer for a big group of people. I’ll send you a PM with more details.

Canada has tons of research on this, tldr thousands of ppl between 35-50 got AZ followed by an mRNA booster, and they’ve had the best immune responses of everyone including those of us with larger spacing between doses.

I had a Dr appointment today and was planning on getting my flu shot and getting the covid Booster next week. The NP told me if I don't get them the same day then I need to wait 3-4 weeks between them. I've never heard this, has anyone else been told this? I thought it didn't matter. So now I'm going to see if I can just get them both at the pharmacy.

I realized that DS2's 6y check is next week, so maybe he'll be able to get the vax while we're there?!

There have been thousands of children in studies that have successfully made it almost a year at this point with the vaccine and have had no long term side effects, therefore the likelihood of side effects from a vaccine years and years later is statistically nothing. In contrast, millions of people are experiencing long term side effects from contracting COVID, over a year out from their initial diagnosis. I know I read the vaccine information here so maybe someone else has that link handy. I heard this on TT and LOLed--"Getting side effects from the vaccine years from now would be like waking up tomorrow with a hangover from the Four Lokos you drank in 2011."

Which is weird because the recommendation was 2 weeks before. I don’t understand.

CVS let me book them at the same time. Oh I know you can do it at the same time. But the pharmacist told my H since he wasn’t doing both at the same time, he needed to wait 3 weeks, which I’ve never heard.

I was nervous for a minute. I mean, I told him the pharmacist was wrong and he was fine to get a booster whenever. 🤣 But it was just a weird random recommendation. I’m surprised nelzie got told something similar.
