Coronavirus (Stay on Topic)

The local hospital network was down to 142 patients just prior to xmas. That was down from a peak of 187. Since then it has rocketed up to 225.
Just to clarify this is for the Vidant Health System, their system-wide census of hospitalized COVID-19 patients was 187, this covers 8 hospitals across eastern NC including Greenville, RR, Roanoke-Chowan area and the Outer Banks. It's not just the one hospital.

Yeah not all 225 are at one hospital luckily.
 
I find it somewhat ironic California has had the toughest lockdowns and restrictions and they are just as bad if not worse off than anywhere else that has less restrictions or has been reopened for months hmmmm

Consider this: California is the most populated state in the US, not to mention their cities are some of the largest. Population density compared to all the states that have fewer restrictions and lower populations do better not because of who's leading them, but because there's just less contact entirely and less spread. If they had the same restrictions as some of these other states I guarantee you they'd have 1000s die per day from covid alone.
 
So the Halifax County Health Dept today decides to set up at the Halifax Community College to provide vaccines. This wasn't well announced and somehow hundreds of general public did find out, showed up and got vaccinated even though it is suppose to be for those in group 1A (front line workers, elderly, underlying conditions). My 80 yo parents want the vaccine, haven't been given any info about the vaccine and yet today people who do not fit any of those criteria were vaccinated, the Health Dept Director should lose his job over this. Those that got the vaccine knowing they don't meet the criteria while the most vulnerable are still waiting just don't have a conscience in my opinion. I'm livid, there are a lot of people around here that are livid and now they are "opening up vaccines for the general public" tomorrow. One line for those in 1A category and another line for the general public, this is stupid! Btw, the article says how well the information got out with daily reports, radio communication and other reports.... that's BS! Many here didn't know about it until word started spreading on social media this afternoon that they saw it.

That’s -------- of the highest order.

My 16 year old daughter has it. She caught it on NYE at her mom and stepdads. He can’t even walk to the bathroom without becoming winded and she is short of breath (her stepdad and mom). My daughter has no taste, cough, stuffiness, temp of 101.5°F, and a splitting headache. Breathing is fine for now.

Just to add to my above post, since I'm having to reach out to all local Health Depts to start the process of having our employees vaccinated, the process is insane and some counties downright stupidity. That is all
 
Has anyone here recovered from Covid but still have issues with smell? I had Covid in September. Not a mild case. But hospitalization not required. One of my biggest symptoms at the time was not a loss of smell but that i smelled things that were not there. It would alternate between electrical burn to a strong soapy perfume. It would cause my nose and lips to burn. I had this symptom for weeks after I recovered. Have not experienced it in about 2 months.
Until today. It got so bad at work I had to go out side to try and get fresh air as I was getting sick from smell. I share an office and no one else smelled anything. I’ve read a few articles that others continue with phantom smells long after Covid recovery. Just curious if anyone else has this issue.

I don’t think she’s had this problem lingering like you, but my aunt also had experienced terrible smells when she had Covid, as opposed to outright losing her smell. Interesting to hear someone else report that variant of the symptom as opposed to outright losing their sense of smell.
 
Also there is a new COVID-19 variant detected in Brazil called N501Y.V3. It has both the N501Y mutation (increases transmissibility,/no changes to severity, no changes to vaccine) and the E484K mutation (reportedly reduces antibody neutralization, unknown if vaccines are less effective (studies ongoing)).
 
Idk where the Covid thread is but I’ll post this here



Those are what we classify as tonic/clonic movements. They are normally seen in grand mal seizures. In those instances the person is normally unconscious. There are multiple accounts of this happening after the moderna vaccine administration. There’s a reason I won’t get it until the kinks are worked out. This crap was fast tracked and didn’t undergo the normal multi-year testing that occurs when trying to bring a new medication to market. Here is a peer reviewed article on incidents of this occurring in children after vaccine administration. I’m not anti-vacccine. I’m anti “not following usual guidelines for testing on developing a vaccine”.

What about the Pfizer one?
 
First time I can remember the 7-day average for hospitalizations hasn’t been a record in months. Encouraging news, hopefully.

I drive by the testing site here in Greenville on my way to work and over the last couple weeks even before they open at 7am I would see 30 to 40 cars waiting on the access.road as early as 615am. Some mornings there were enough cars they opened early and moved the line inside the parking lot to relieve traffic.

So far this week it's been much fewer. In fact the last 3 mornings when I got off work and drove by at 7:45 there were less than 20 cars in line. A significant decrease......I'm hopeful!

Sister and I had it this am, so far fine!
 
My mom came down with Covid late last week. A little winded but she is fine and has been outside working in the yard all day today. Says she would prefer getting Covid over the flu. I would agree
