stm25rs Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I'm going mask-free whenever possible. Baltimore City still has an indoor mask mandate, the state mandate is lifted, and some stores in the surrounding counties have taken down their mask signs. So when I go to a store I carry it with me, if they have a sign up, I put it on, otherwise it goes in the pocket. Most of the customers I've visited for work since MD lifted the mandate still have mask requirements though. I'm vaccinated, my girlfriend is vaccinated, and my mom (the only high risk person I see regularly) is vaccinated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD123 Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 No shocker there (I enjoyed the video) - face coverings don't do jack to protect you, the idea was to reduce potential for infected folks to infect others. While clearly an uninfected person doesn't need one, there are asymptomatic folks out there, so the thought is to deal with that. I'd really be interested to know the numbers for asymptomatic vs. symptomatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 You don't take vaccines after the virus has gone through the population. Any mutations from the virus are weaker. Mutations that weaken the virus tend be quickly outnumbered by the original stream. Mutations that increase the virus' ability to spread tend to overtake the original strain, becoming the dominant strain. That's how evolution works. Unsurprisingly, that's also the pattern we saw with the coronavirus. Taking vaccines after the virus has "gone through the population" is standard practice. I'm curious as to what makes you think coronavirus has "gone through the population" though. The hospitalization rate in the US is declining, but it's still a long way from zero. It was only a couple weeks ago that we got back down to October 2020 levels. You stop taking vaccines after the virus has been eradicated. That's not even on the horizon for coronavirus.

I'm one of them, as my whole family. Please keep your insane and technically incorrect anti-vax comments to yourself. You don't know what you are talking about, you don't know what mRNA is, and you're spreading idiotic lies. Maybe you do so unwittingly, because of bad education. Maybe you do so because you've talked to "experts" or watched youtube videos by charlatans that don't know what they are talking about. But dammit, regardless of where you have gotten your mis-information from, any Linux kernel discussion list isn't going to have your idiotic drivel pass uncontested from me. Vaccines have saved the lives of literally tens of millions of people. Just for your edification in case you are actually willing to be educated: mRNA doesn't change your genetic sequence in any way. It is the exact same intermediate - and temporary - kind of material that your cells generate internally all the time as part of your normal cell processes, and all that the mRNA vaccines do is to add a dose their own specialized sequence that then makes your normal cell machinery generate that spike protein so that your body learns how to recognize it. The half-life of mRNA is a few hours. Any injected mRNA will be all gone from your body in a day or two. It doesn't change anything long-term, except for that natural "your body now knows how to recognize and fight off a new foreign protein" (which then tends to fade over time too, but lasts a lot longer than a few days). And yes, while your body learns to fight off that foreign material, you may feel like shit for a while. That's normal, and it's your natural response to your cells spending resources on learning how to deal with the new threat. And of the vaccines, the mRNA ones are the most modern, and the most targeted - exactly because they do *not* need to have any of the other genetic material that you traditionally have in a vaccine (ie no need for basically the whole - if weakened - bacterial or virus genetic material). So the mRNA vaccines actually have *less* of that foreign material in them than traditional vaccines do. And a *lot* less than the very real and actual COVID-19 virus that is spreading in your neighborhood. Honestly, anybody who has told you differently, and who has told you that it changes your genetic material, is simply uneducated. You need to stop believing the anti-vax lies, and you need to start protecting your family and the people around you. Get vaccinated. I think you are in Germany, and COVID-19 numbers are going down. It's spreading a lot less these days, largely because people around you have started getting the vaccine - about half having gotten their first dose around you, and about a quarter being fully vaccinated. If you and your family are more protected these days, it's because of all those other people who made the right choice, but it's worth noting that as you see the disease numbers go down in your neighborhood, those diminishing numbers are going to predominantly be about people like you and your family. So don't feel all warm and fuzzy about the fact that covid cases have dropped a lot around you. Yes, all those vaccinated people around you will protect you too, but if there is another wave, possibly due to a more transmissible version - you and your family will be at _much_ higher risk than those vaccinated people because of your ignorance and mis-information. Get vaccinated. Stop believing the anti-vax lies. And if you insist on believing in the crazy conspiracy theories, at least SHUT THE HELL UP about it on Linux kernel discussion lists.

laz Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hot my second dose of the Moderna today (finally). Gave me an itchy throat and a headache, so I laid down and took a nap. Feel normal now, no big deal. I’m scheduled for July 2nd. I’m not sure if it’s coincidence but I got a sore throat and was super congested, to the point of almost losing my voice, for a straight week after the first shot. We’ll see what happens after the second shot. I also had Covid 3 months ago. --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrD123 Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Well - flew for the first time since the start of the pandemic - things seem to be more or less getting back to normal (the airports were crowded and all my flights were packed) - masking is mandatory in the airports and on the flight (compliance was very good, as far as I noticed) - anyone else travel yet?

stm25rs Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I went to a bachelor party in Fort Lauderdale mid May. We got in on a Thursday and that Friday was when CDC lifted the mask guidelines. Of course, it was also Florida, so masks were already a rarity. Next flight is late August, going to a wedding in Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
