Not sure if this has been posted, but mast cell activation may have a huge component in causing long haul covid, the article is from Nov. 2021...

Mast cell activation symptoms are prevalent in Long-COVID

Hyper-inflammation caused by COVID-19 may be mediated by mast cell activation (MCA) which has also been hypothesized to cause Long-COVID (LC) symptoms…

Yeah I had done a ton of research on Mast Cell Activation... my doctor didn't even know what it was when I asked him about it. Lots of fasting and diet change helped mine tremendously and is pretty much gone at this point.

That passenger should have to reimburse everyone else on that plane for tickets, change fees, hotels and anything else delayed or missed because of this

Or, make him go to the front of the plane and give all the aisle passengers soap bars in pillow cases - Full Metal Jacket style - and make him walk slowly to the back of the plane. Then all the passengers get off before him, and the ones that want to can form another gauntlet for him outside the gate.

So we are in day 3 of oldest...so far minor headaches and some congestion. But what she does have ( and 2 others from the group from Sat night ) is bad nausea. Almost "stomach bug" like. And it comes at same time each evening- 9-10pm. then gone.

So weird.

Is she also the mayor? Mr Sparkle referred to “mayor Avegno”. I thought Cantrell was the mayor?

its Cantrell.

He is being quite facetious lol

I got the booster on Monday night and had the side effect of Sean Payton quitting.

Delta is all but gone. Pretty much all infections today are Omicron.

That said, on of my mom's old college friends, in her early 50s, died on Sunday, presumably from Omicron. So if you're not boosted, you should be taking it seriously regardless.

I've only known 2 people personally who have gotten Omi. Both are from work. One upper 40s... one lower 60s. Both said they could have come back to work with it. Just felt like a bad cold.

I don't think you have friends, man.

I don't even want to try to count how many people I know personally who got omicron, but I'll throw out a few.

A business acquaintance of mine in her 30s got it, then her husband who is 40 got it, then their three kids, all under 10, got it.

A close friend and his wife (both 20s) got it.

My wife in her 30s got it. I got sick the same week but never tested positive, but it was a pretty big coincidence.

Three close colleagues (50s, 40s, 20s) at work got it.

A former student (20) got it.

My pastor (30s) and his whole family got it, as well as a guy in the church in his 40s that got it, a girl in her late 20s that got it.

And then my mom's friend in her 50s that got it and passed.

This is just me spitballing off the top of my head. If I kept going, this list would grow. So many people were affected by this wave.

I don't have many friends... correct, but I have many colleagues and acquaintances. Perhaps no one is getting tested.

Though we dont know what variant, nobody is being told. I know people whom has caught what is suspected Omicron to come deathly sick and I know that can happen with Omicron but at a supposed reduced chance of becoming highly ill and others who are barely sick for a week. During the height of the Delta wave my wife's cousin caught Covid and became deathly ill (ICU), everyone assumed it was Delta, come to find out he had the original Covid from Wave 2, his daughter worked at the hospital and pulled some strings to find out the variant and it was not Delta. Maybe there is no easyway to find out the variant in a short time period to help an individual but it seems like it would help to inform the infected individual of the strain so they can seek proper care and not write it off as "oh its just Omicron".

Yeah, I know about 10 to 15 people that have gotten Covid over the last six weeks, including my two daughters and me - all of which were almost certain to have had Omicron. Minor for the most part, although a good friend of mine (vaxxed but not boosted) got his arse kicked for two weeks and required supplemental oxygen.

That actually wouldn't surprise me. I'm sure there are a lot of asymptomatic and very mild cases that don't ever get tested. Even though I'm vaccinated, I've never actually gotten tested for Covid. I'm sure there are others who haven't. I haven't really needed testing tho because I work 100% from home currently. If/when we do return, that may change.

No, we are being told. We were told weeks ago in my state that 100% of cases tested were Omicron.

Louisiana reports with a bit of a lag. It seems there is an outside source https://www.gisaid.org/. If I am reading that site correctly, they have sequenced 1,973 cases in Louisiana in the last 30 days, so this data is based on those cases and they are extrapolating to the entire population. Other states (including Mississippi) are sequencing much less frequently, so the data might not be relevant.

I'm assuming we don't have the resources to sequence every single test out there, but if 98% of your state's test are Omicron, bro you've got Omicron.

Sure, I was more adding to your post than refuting it. As for the post you were replying to, the average time to sequence is 17 days so the poster was probably right that the individual patient isn't being given that information because it takes much longer to determine.
