Got our moderna boosters today. Asked the nurse to give us her honest opinion. She said the truth is we don’t know because it’s not following all of the previous patterns so it’s all new to everyone. Now that the shots are becoming less effective it could be a bad thing or a good thing. No one knows anything conclusively.

There was a UK study that came out today saying that the first two shots are 0-20% effective, whereas the booster jumps you to 50-80% effective.
no dancing. no booze served after 11 concerts, events over 1000 only allowed 50% capacity…must remained seated with hands folded in your laps…no food 🍲 or beverages allowed at these events, same with movie theatres…
This all comes into effect Sunday. This virus 🦠 is so dangerous…but at least it’s kind enough to wait till Sunday to go but shit crazy (sorry China) all over us…

0-20. holy fuck.
"Oh Canada...you're beautiful when you're drunk" -EV 8/14/93
I would like to see the data for severity of symptomatic infections for those that have been fully vaxxed but not yet boosted. still 50-80% extra protection from the booster sounds good. I didn't see any info in that article describing how long the boosters maintain effectiveness against omicron with the 50-80% boost. encouraging if they have long term efficacy, discouraging if protection wanes after a few weeks.
I'm still holding out hope that this variant will have a lower mortality rate and less severe symptoms for the majority and that we will finally be out of the shadows, but time will tell I guess

Since it's been like ten days, I'm sure we won't know that until after it's run its course!

Thats why I would like to see data on severity of symptomatic infection for those fully vaxxed. Sure getting covid would suck, but if it's like a regular bad cold for vaxxed people the 0-20% isn't so scary. If on the other hand we are looking at normally healthy fully vaxxed 20-60 year olds headed to ventilators at an alarming rate, then for me that is when things get scary.

Yes agreed 100%. If this is just a manageable cold then I'll not worry too much

Probably not. I like to try to remain positive when reading articles like this. I can't afford another shut down

my chief public health officer (manitoba) just said they're seeing increasing in hospitalizations in south africa from omicron, so it's not looking like it's less severe. however, i don't know how much data was taken into account; if it's just hospitalizations alone, that doesn't mean anything. if hospitilizations increased 20%, but infections increased 80%, then it's obviously less severe. I'm sure a CPHO would take all that into account, but who knows. he didn't go into detail.

I bet my february concerts I have tickets for both get cancelled. I don't know what happens with my Winnipeg Jets game on Jan 8th now that they'll be at 50% until Jan 11. how do they decide who gets to keep their tickets and who doesn't? it's a fucking 50th birthday party too, with 30+ of us renting a room before and after. motherfucker.

still want to see breakdown between demographics of unvaxxed, unvaxxed
prior infection, vaxxed no prior infection, vaxxed with prior
infection. timelines between prior infections and new infection and
timelines between initial vaxxing and infections

That sucks the big one.
The hammer dropped here in BC, too, however, unlike last year, Pipsqueak doesn't have to cancel her birthday.

I dont know if anyone is interested but a live update. Step dad x2 AZ did antibody test after second six months back. Had none. Boosted with pfizer last week. Pcr positive only symptoms blocked ears and nose. My brother also positive this is like a plague i cant tell how contagious this is but i can tell you he is very mild also. Lets all hope this is going to be that way for all because we are all going to catch this and fast

Im seeing it with my eyes. This is becoming a cold. The end maybe in sight
Hope you are right man.
Every single person I know is testing here daily for the last couple of weeks. With so many more people having access to rapid tests more low or no symptomatic cases are going to be picked up that normally would not have been detected. Great to help stop the spread but seeing a scary high case count is not telling the whole story here. Next couple of months will be interesting to see how this trends with hospitalizations.

I know 5 people in my actual family that have stuffy nose and blocked ears. Nothing more

Lucky you guys for having tests.
BC is hoping the feds provide rapid tests in which the reagent can be broken into groups of five for easier distribution.

I wish I knew the truth about home test. Some of you here testify to their worthiness. When I went for my test a month or so ago they gave me the swab test and told me that test is far more accurate than home tests. The world is full of conflicting information making it difficult to know what to believe.

Any dif in symptoms between your kid that is vaxxed and the one who is not?

my understanding is the home test is not nearly as effective as you don't put the swab up to your brain, which is where most of the disease is lurking.
@oftenreading would be a better person to answer this though

And our lateral flow tests were very hit and miss. This variant has showed positive on every single lateral. Backed up by pcr. So even with mild symptoms lateral still poss A good thing Should help

As far as dancing. I think if you want to dance solo no one will complain. You may even dance solo naked…
I'm still holding out hope that this variant will have a lower mortality rate and less severe symptoms for the majority and that we will finally be out of the shadows, but time will tell I guess
