WizeGuy Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Fauci: Two more Covid vaccines just ‘weeks’ away from US distribution Fauci thinks J&J and Oxford's vaccines could be approved in the next few weeks. That'd be HUGE for supply and distribution. Good stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they're ready to ship this **** out ASAP Edited January 17, 2021 by BobbyPhil1781 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 18 hours ago, BobbyPhil1781 said: Yes, you'll test positive for months at times due to your body shredding RNA from what I understand. From what I've read from my nurse friends, you should only be concerned about quarantining for 10-14 days after testing positive. I'm sure others might feel differently but I've seen this take quite a bit. Glad you tested negative. wut that doesn't sound good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first realized this when a friend of mine got it back in May and had to be hospitalized for 9 days. When we talked to her a few months later, she said she had been testing positive for a couple weeks after being released but that was normal for extreme cases. She works at a hospital in a lab so had to constantly get tested before being able to go back to work. Very weird stuff.

Reading the article it seems like it’s all guesswork right now. Maybe it’ll be resistant, maybe not? I guess the good news if I’m reading this correctly is that only a small sample of people thave it and that it’s not as contagious as the B117 variant, which seems to be the main concern now.

Not good news, but it may not be bad news yet either. Sometimes all we can say is "we don't know right now". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpulse Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I aint scurred Honestly if the spike protein does mutate, It isnt a large leap to include it in a vaccine. The leg work is done. Besides that, given the expectation that it is actually less communicable than normal COVID-19 strain, it's also possible it dies out on its own without human intervention given that most of the world is still utilizing PPE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
