Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

Some people want to quantify everything, but there are so many variables, you really can't just say "this many minutes" or "this many feet" with any other value being perfectly safe. Air flow is not equal; you can get eddies and dead spots and all sorts of odd things. I don't know how many times I have walked down an empty aisle in a store and smelled the cologne of a person that passed through some time before me, or smelled a cigarette being smoked by someone at least a hundred feet away. This is why mask wearing, hand washing, and not lingering if it can be avoided is so important - any level of exposure is still exposure. As long as the virus is in the population, you can't make the risk of exposure zero, so anything you can do to reduce the likelihood of developing an infection is in your best interest.

You are right, it is like a spiderweb. People from all over, go to work, to the grocery store, to various places. Neighbors and friends all around us have had it. Our DD and two young children had it, I baby sat and my husband got it, I didn't. Your coworker now has it, Your neighbor has it, you just can't hardly avoid it. I'm so sorry that you feel expendable, just do the best you can. Since you are considered an essential worker, can you get vaccinated or do you want to take the vaccine?

If and when it becomes available you betcha I'll take it. I worry so much about my wife. My heart's a problem but I'm tough, take my pills and ask the Lord every day to help me, eat enough salad and fruit for a herd of rabbits and goats. My wife is...well it would kill me if I brought it home to her. I do most of the shopping, public stuff. Anyway somebody wrote If you take the shot wait around in case something happens. I stay there 30 minutes now after the flu shot. I've seen a bad reaction to a flu shot before when I was in the navy. It was ugly and scary. Long as they've got epinephrine I'm good. Hospitals are close at work and home so yep sign me up. 👍

So it is around our area now. Most people it is just a mild cold. But we also have no cold or flu this year hmmm interesting.

Face mask argument everyone needs to get over that one there is facts from both sides. So someone is wrong or nobody knows and it's a stab in the dark.

Better yet u do u and I do me if u don't like me and I don't like u then don't say nothing and don't get close.

Why should we shut down to make one person happy?

Because that one person is the medical professional who is run off their feet trying to care for the ones for whom it is a lot more than like a mild cold?

She also says do not get it if your pregnant or trying to be, it WILL cause birth defects.
She's not one to be online spouting drivel or crazy theories.

How in the world could she possibly know anything about the vaccines and birth defects, when they haven't even begun testing on pregnant women and children yet? You avoid testing on pregnant women, because they are considered so vulnerable, and condemning a child to a lifetime of struggling with a disability for the sake of your short-term increase in information is considered reprehensible. You only move into that realm slowly and cautiously after plenty of time has proven the procedure safe in the non-pregnant, non-developing segment of the population, and they haven't gotten to that phase yet. Your friend may not be spreading these crazy rumors online, but apparently she has no problem with reading them and then spreading them in person.

The first few months of a pregnancy are when the fetus is most vulnerable, and that's when most birth defects occur. Think about it - they didn't even have a vaccine to be testing in humans 9 months ago, let alone have enough time to be (either accidentally or deliberately) injecting pregnant females and seeing the results. There probably have been a few pregnancies among test subjects (if you include enough females of childbearing age in your test group, at least a few unintended pregnancies are bound to happen), but there simply hasn't been enough time for them to have gone to full term, and (assuming there is something wrong with the child) definitively link the defect to the vaccine.

I'm sorry to be so tough on the friend you clearly respect, but after what has just transpired in Washington, I have totally had it with conspiracy theories!

She said it's in the small print of the possible side effects paperwork. I am sure she's not spreading any "crazy" rumors.

We all need to educate ourselves and decide who to trust. There's an alarming rate of medical staff that are not getting the vaccine because it was rushed, we ALL should have that right.

We know a woman that had covid around Thanksgiving, and was told she had to get the vaccine to keep her job, she is in the medical field. She got covid AT work, yet she had to take the time off with the disease unpaid. Her husband was paid for his time off for the quarantine through a gov. grant. She's reacting VERY badly (worse than having the disease) to the vaccine, they said because her body still has antibodies to it from having it. They said expect another BAD reaction with the 2nd dose. I don't believe her reaction has any of the heart issues, but feeling poorly as she has the disease again.
My sister, a respiratory therapist was told you'll get the vaccine before you have 2 days off, that way you can be sick on your own time. If you get covid you'll still be expected to come to work.

People are getting told the vaccine will solve everything... but what if it's worse than the disease????

Maybe I shouldn't share this knowledge... maybe we're all happy in our ignorant bliss. I've had way too many people lie to me in my life and I do not trust much anymore.

Nope, continue to share, please. I've read countless accounts from medical staffing who got even more ill from the vaccine, in the ICU two days after and some who have died a couple of days after getting it~but you are not going to hear that from the news media. It's the responsibility of those who are experiencing it to share it to others if they would prevent further illness and/or death.

Share the truth and those who receive it gladly will be glad you did so. Those who don't like the information can just like it or leave it behind. That's their problem and they can suffer the consequences of their own decisions in this world. You've done your job at that point.

It's very simple...if you don't like the information, give it a pass and ignore it. If you do, read it and apply it.

Thank you for that post, I do not plan on. Getting the vaccine simply because it was created way to fast (in my opinion) ....I am almost 69 and in "that age group" with health concerns...but certainly perfectly content to stay at home in my happy place , rather than inject myself willingly with a unproven dose of " who knows what the side effects are" vaccine ....
please continue to let us know what people on the front lines are saying , it is very useful....let the haters be haters, none of us knows the truth about this "virus " , only what we are told....?

Hallelujah that there are still some people in the medical fields with some common sense and enough guts to stand up for the truth!
