Hard to say. But...you can apply some basic immunology and try to draw some conclusions. There is the thought that mild Covid infections don't get into the deep lung, that it infects the upper respiratory tract much like a head cold. The upper respiratory tract doesn’t have the memory cell surveillance that the deep lung does. You produce antibodies and mount an adaptive response (T cell), but it fades with time because the cells that confer memory really don’t hang out in that part of the respiratory tract. So yea, a mild case that stays in the nose, throat and sinus may not have immunity as long as someone who had a deep lung infection.

No. I missed it. I’ll go back and look. I’m out to eat at the moment. I’ll look when I get home.

It awful over there, even in non Covid times. The caste system keeps people in extreme poverty. The cities are filthy. I had some family go over for 2 weeks once and they stayed sick most of the time. There’s no clean water, sanitation is non existent, and health care is non existent for anyone but the higher castes.

In Massachusetts? Probably. Hell, they lifted the outdoor mandate and people still wear them outside with no one in sight. The CDC will have to tell the blue state governors what to do. I’m hoping Baker lifts it sooner rather than later. At least let people take them off in the office if they are sitting in their cube.

Once indoor mask mandates are lifted, nobody will do it again.

That’s just a click bait article. The numbers they are talking about are variant numbers since mid March. The 7 day average in Florida is around 4000, with a decreasing curve. Percentage of population positive per day is 0.018%. Massachusetts number is 0.013%. The article actually tell you that the positives are dropping and the percent positives of those tested are below 5%. But it takes until the 11th paragraph to tell you that.

Maybe he had a shoe and trample fetish and it got out of hand?

Absolutely. If people are waiting until case counts get below 5000 or even 10000 per day before they feel “safe”, they’ll be waiting a very very long time, and we’ll be masked indoors forever in certain states and cities.

Depends on the vaccine. For things like mumps, measles, German measles, and polio, the vaccine is probably as good as natural. Those vaccines use the whole virus. You make antibodies and T cells that recognize the entire viral coat, not just the business end. So when you “see” it again, you mount an immune response to the entire viral protein coat. For recombinant or mRNA vaccines, your just immune to the business end. If the business end mutates too much, the immunity you have won’t work as well whereas if you have immunity to the entire virus, it can work better since the whole thing won’t mutate at the same rate.

Mine kicked on this morning for a little bit.

That's why Melinda bailed. Didnt want his chip

The Stein is strong

Stein and early May fail

Cold a$$ rain. Days like today make it hard to live in NE in the spring. Just miserable. Meanwhile my dad is out on his boat in NC at 85 degrees. My retirement house calls.

It’s this, masks, Stein or crypto. personally I’d rather have temp talk Stein or Covid. Crypto gives me MEGO.

Me too. I eat 5 little meals a day just to keep the stomach acid emptied. Thank god for PPIs

Yea, that ain’t happening anytime soon.

Mines open, clean and ready. Just need a few nice days. Maybe in June

Best steak I ever ate was the restaurant on top of Ceasar’s in Lake Tahoe.

Abe and Louies every day over Davios

Leaves have that leathery look.

Mrs Robinson, are you trying to seduce me? Hello darkness my old friend.

Oh I get that too. Some is tolerance. Some people can take an extreme amount of pain and discomfort and it doesn’t bother them at all. Some get upset if they have a slight whichever in their big toe. My father said he didn’t even have a sore shoulder with any of the 2 shots. I doubt that. This is a man who smashed his left thumb flat as a pancake with a 5 pound sledge hammer on a job site and drove home with it just wrapped up in a rag he had on his plumbing truck. Did I mention the job site was 500 miles from home? The man has an enormous pain tolerance.

Not exactly. Part of the soreness is from the inflammatory response, not just the needle and the liquid stretching the muscle fibers. Several types of leukocytes migrate to the site in response to the antigen. In the case of mRNA vaccines, the myocytes take up the mRNA and start pumping out spike protein and displaying it as “not self”. Dendritic cells, neutrophils, macrophages are all summoned by cytokines which cause havoc with body temperature and cause a lot of the soreness. In my case, the sore arm from the first shot took 10-12 hours. It set in within 2 hours of the second. More immune response with the second.
