Are you willing to get the Covid vaccine when offered? (5 Viewers)

Day 4: Headache is now minimal, replaced by sore throat and nasal congestion. Fatigue is probably 25-50% improved. Overall, much better because the headache was no joke

Yeah, exactly what happened to me, after the headaches, like 24 hours later I had a stuffy nose and scratchy throat. It was like a day or two with that. I'm feeling pretty good now tho.

I get tension/sinus headaches a lot.. almost migraine level, minus the nausea. I've had them bring me to tears before. Glad it's over for you. I hate them.

I haven't had a migraine ever since I semi-retired. And I've had them since I was a teenager.

So, the problem is work and responsibility, and the rat race?

I need to speed up to retirement. Is a half million enough? lol.

It was the stress. Stress induced headaches became migraines a lot of the time. Sometimes I would get them at work so bad, that I couldn't drive home and had to go lay down in the nurses station. I carried an Imitrex with me everywhere.

the week before.

Quoting myself to make a prediction. The areas with higher Delta cases between Christmas and New Years, like the NE and Wyoming, will likely be showing peak deaths in the next couple days. If Omicron stays much less lethal, after Jan 18th, we should see an overall slowdown in those areas. Areas like Nebraska, that still has significant Delta may see deaths still climb for a bit. Now, the whole argument about Omicron being less of a deal for two reasons.. one how it doesn't get deep into the lungs (should help everyone), and two, more people are vaccinated and recently boosted, so a lot of folks are at their most immune...might apply here, so hard to say if my prediction will be so clean.

The Median time from Infection to Death, was 18.5 days.

COVID-19: What are the Stages and Causes of Death?

Official answer: What are the stages and symptoms of COVID-19? Day 1: The symptoms usually start with a fever, a dry cough and mild...

NJ might be a good example. Cases have clearly peaked and are coming down. Hospitalizations are seeming to peak (on a per day basis, not total). Deaths not showing a peak yet, but hopefully will soon.

How can people be so cruel? Just get out of the forking profession.

Italy not messing around
===================

OSIGO, Italy — After many rounds of rules targeting the unvaccinated, the chamber musician’s new life is unrecognizable from the old. Claudio Ronco once performed all over Europe, but now he can’t even board a plane. He can’t check into a hotel, eat at restaurant or get a coffee at a bar.

Most important, he can’t use the water taxis needed to get around Venice, his home for 30 years — a loss of mobility that recently prompted him to gather up two of his prized cellos, lock up his Venetian apartment and retreat with his wife to a home owned by his in-laws one hour away in the hills.

“Isolation,” Ronco called it, on the fourth day in a row that he hadn’t left the house.

At this complicated stage of the pandemic, the lives of unvaccinated people are in major flux, at the mercy of decisions made everywhere from courts to workplaces. But their lives are changing most dramatically in a handful of countries in Western Europe, including Italy, where governments are systematically reducing their liberties, while beginning to return the rest of society to a state of normalcy.

And while regular testing, until recently, was permitted as an alternative to vaccination, even that option has now been largely removed as countries harden their mandates. For people like Ronco, the choice is to get inoculated or face exclusion............

I wish the US, and the states in particular, had the balls to do that here.

Is it mental illness that is causing people like him to opt out of society? I have a coworker who just watched his healthy wife go through 15days in ICU and he still refuses the vaccine.

Considering how bad Italy got the first wave of the pandemic, I'm not surprised. And this cellist's attitude as as bad if not worse than some of the worst anti-vaxxers here. Even if he contracted and survived the virus he says wouldn't use the green pass? Well, that's a choice, I guess. But then he doesn't get to complain about the consequences.

Maybe earlier in the pandemic, I'd be right there with you, but now? Way too late for that imo.

Maybe

Some people are just contrarians who refuse or rebel against anything that's popular or mainstream

The article says as much "specialist in 18th-century music who tends to distrust the trends of the masses"

If 18th century music or cellos became the new "it" thing in Italy, he wouldn't celebrate it, he'd probably turn his nose up, maybe even give it up, or rage that he was into it before anyone else was

If 99% believe, accept, think, do X some will always be in that 1%

Is your coworkers wife now pro-vax after her ordeal or is she still with him?

She said that she wishes that she had been vaccinated. She can't get it for about two more months. He still won't do it.

Only 54% of us are vaccinated here. I'm at the point where I don't care anymore. I'm boosted and I had what I believe to have been Omicron at Christmas. I'm over it. If people want to risk it, it was nice knowing them. Most of us tried. There's no helping some people.
