Woofers and Tweeters Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 It seems that, as the good Dr. F said, most people are going to get this variant, including the fully vaccinated. Im glad that it doesn't seem to have the resulting number of deaths and hopefully will help with everyone's natural immune systems. A mandate that allows fully vaccinated people to blindly go to work, unchecked and requiring unvaccinated to be tested weekly and sent home for a positive result sounds like a half baked plan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be no consideration for people with natural immunity either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of noise about people being required to show vaccination papers to enter public. There is not a lot of information about how well people who have antibodies due to already recovered are fairing with the polymutants. From what little I read, it seems that most who have recovered are having less severe reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 It's interesting that nobody in my family has had a cold since Covid showed up? Could the common cold and even the flu disappear because of measures against Covid? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 measures to limit covid exposure does seem to have an effect on the number of flu/cold cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Might be that a lot of people have stayed in, distanced and finally started washing their paws. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Yep all we had to do was wear thin paper masks and wash our hands more and we could have all but killed off the flu long ago-- If you believe that your brain has been more washed than your hands sorry. Think about testing in previous years the only people getting tested for the flu were the severely sick not the sniffles type and we averaged 34 million cases a year once covid hit we started testing everyone sick or not but flu cases have dropped to 1000 in a year? CDC has come out long ago and stated the standard PCR test cannot tell the difference between cold, flu or covid. "CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses." https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read where anyone said anything like that. I have read where the CDV, Mayo Clinic, and Hopkinsmedical all agree how the flus and colds are spread.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted January 19, 2022 Moderators Share Posted January 19, 2022 Well, as predicted, and right in line with the estimates with Bruce started this thread about how he and his family have been impacted, this thread has drifted into Covid numbers, numbers, numbers and has way outlived it's initial very usual purpose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
