That's good initial news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to figure out what scientific unit a mAbs was lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Got tested Monday morning after experiencing a symptom. Got the results that night and thankfully came back negative. Pretty efficient system and thankfully did the throat test rather than the nose one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize there were different testing methods. What was done with the throat test? And glad it came back negative Edited January 21, 2021 by BobbyPhil1781 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And glad it came back negative Pretty much just a long Q-tip that swabbed the back of my throat next to the tonsils. I don't know the science or anything behind it but have heard the nose one is super uncomfortable. Pretty much got the results like 8 hours later which I was super impressed with. I am also living in Canada so I don't know how much it differs than the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just moved to Maine TODAY and I am takin over the Portland office on Monday and I am kind of terrified of getting COVID in a new place. I feel like I don't know the safe zones. Flip side of that is that Maine considers my position, while completely administrative and business development albeit in the healthcare business, a candidate for the vaccine. So I am on the list to get that as soon as doses come available which is oodles sooner than I expected to get it. Welcome to Maine and Portland DP. If you need any restaurant or bar recs hit me up (for when stuff normalizes). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccine distribution has started off slow, but we're at ~900k doses/day now. Case rates are slowly falling. Progress is going to be bumpy, but there is progress. There might be some issues with new variants causing a slower drop in cases, or maybe even a local spike, but we've taken COVID's best punch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like numbers around the country are decreasing or will be decreasing by a large number soon. 7 day averages are down almost everywhere. I keep seeing a lot of local news articles that hospitalizations are down everywhere in my area also. We can expect more of this as the elderly continue to get their vaccines. J&J hopefully being available next month will only speed everything up as well. It may never be "over" but it will be manageable soon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may never be "over" but it will be manageable soon I also wonder how much of this is because we are now out of the Christmas/New Years gatherings as well. In the restaurant and retail industry, this week is the official start of slow season, especially in the northeast. Everyone's bank accounts now need to recover from Christmas, and gift cards are now spent and folks just want to get home and out of the cold with no shopping or anything to do. Either way I am happy with cases decreasing, but that's got to play a factor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read, the holiday surge wasn't as bad as they expected (maybe it was a local article though so please don't take my word on it). The good news is we don't really have any crazy holidays coming up. I heard they canceled Mardi Gras but other areas will still certainly celebrate. One thing I'm shocked about is Alabama hasn't seemingly seen a surge since the NC game which was 10 days ago. https://rt.live/us/AL Maybe they've reached some kind of herd immunity? The streets were PACKED on campus from the images I saw. Not a huge surge in cases from the rednecks at the Capitol building as well (from what the data suggests) that you know the media was gushing at the opportunity to blame them also. Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras, and St Paddy's Day are the next "super spreader" events (not so much VDay but restaurants will be busy - not at much group gatherings) and I feel if we make it through those, we are probably good to go.... well, and spring break.........

Is there any actual studies on it besides them saying just wear a mask you'll be fine? Seems pretty ****ty to make kids be the guinny pigs of that's the case. At least wrestlers don't have to wear them but heaven forbid they shake hands after rolling around on the mat for 6 minutes. I just feel bad for the kids that will be wearing these things 10-12 hours a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
