    Did a second self-test just now, because I had in my stressful easter-fever booked one to be delived to my door but then I couldn't cancel it when I instead could pick one up at my local clinic...

    ... weird that the instructions were a bit different for the two tests. One you were to swab far inside one of your nostrils (scary), the other you had to swab both of them.

    DID YOU SWAB ONE OR TWO NOSTRILS JAMILY?
    I think you are supposed to swab your butt, then nostrils, then your mouth.  That’s the only 100% effective method of testing.
    This is known as the ATM method.  Highly effective. 
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  OMG TY!  This is hysterical, hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At first I read it as the “AMT” method, which I thought was equally hilarious :)

    Got my Pfizer shot today. While I know the symptoms may come tomorrow or only during the second shot it was a very easy process and no issues so far. Also for anyone that hates needles I barely felt a thing. Look away and don't think about it and you will be fine.

    In conclusion, Johan Giesecke is confronted with some of the statements he made about the pandemic a year ago - and becomes a bit self-critical.

    Among other things, he has said that herd immunity would be achieved in May 2020.
    - There are two things I think I was wrong a year ago. I never thought the vaccine would come so fast. It was a total surprise. The other was that I thought the disease would spread faster in the population than it did.

    But basically he was right, he thinks.
    - It is possible that some of the statements I made then, I would have modified now.
    But basically I think I was right from the beginning. I built them on the knowledge I had then.

    Just a heads up - had my first moderna vaccine on Monday and was told that because I had covid previously that my reaction to the vaccine would be much worse the first shot.  Well, if you get the shot and get really sick and ever wondered whether you ever had covid but didn’t get tested, then you probably did based on an “evil” response.  I felt like the exorcist! But it’s going away and nowhere near as bad as covid was. So being honest, it was rough but they tell me it means it’s working. I guess ripping your guts out ends up being a good thing!  Seriously though, get vaccinated, please.

    Just got my first Pfizer jab as well. Quick and barely noticed the jab while the nurse chit chatted with me. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Congrats. I got the the Moderna shot this morning. So far, so good. It was also an easy and painless process. I guess I will see how I feel later tonight or tomorrow.

    Got my 2nd Pfizer shot yesterday. Head hurts a little and minor body aches. No big deal. So relieved to be vaccinated.

    Data suggests that those who did have a previous covid infection may have stronger side effects to being vaccinated, though not in all cases, but there isn’t data for the converse  - that is, it isn’t necessarily the case that severe side effects mean a previous infection.

    Ask and ye shall receive. Like I said what POOTWH said, around November 25th, flying around the corner to it being like the flu, gone by Easter. I’m sure you can find the increase in the number of deaths since November 25th.
