A Third of COVID survivors suffer neurological or mental disorders
“One in three COVID-19 survivors in a study of more than 230,000 mostly American patients were diagnosed with a brain or psychiatric disorder within six months, suggesting the pandemic could lead to a wave of mental and neurological problems, scientists said on Tuesday.”
On a personal note today my oldest daughter and her husband got the first of their 2 Moderna shots (qualifying medical conditions) and my middle daughter got her Johnson and Johnson shot also today (an end-of-day use it or lose it vaccine shot at Walgreens ). Since my youngest also got her 2nd Moderna shot this week (essential employee) everyone in my immediate family (less our grandchild) has been vaccinated at least partially (my wife and I got our 2nd shot Feb 28).
Feels good, doesn’t it? My wife and I each have both shots behind us. Hasn’t changed things much. Still wear masks and keep our distance. Don’t cost nothing.
I’m happy to hear you’re getting the 1st shot Thursday .
Personally I wish that CA would hold off on getting rid of all restrictions so soon but I wish even more that other states would be more conservative on their openings.
Moderna here, nothing after #1; after #2 I spent 2nd day in bed with 101.7f fever. Next day tired butt no other symptoms. All good now.
Wife had no concerns other than shot location soreness for a couple days.
I basically had the same experience. 1st shot no big deal, just a sore arm. 2nd shot I had flu like symptoms starting in the evening but fortunately went away the next day. And my wife also only had a sore arm for a few days
My wife and I got the Moderna shot today. Very well run clinic. In and out in no time. I read today we are reaching a point where we will soon have more doses than willing people to get them. No where close to herd immunity yet so not good.
Not good for a second reason too: the rest of the world is desperate for those vaccines
I hope that with the first world using less and less vaccines in a few months time, the production stays in place or even ramps up to vaccinate all the less rich countries, and fast enough to force the remaining pool of coronavirus to become so small that new variants stop emerging. That is decent and to our advantage too.
I think this is the latest (March 22) what is known about the use of ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19:
What is concluded is that with the often limited or poorly performed trials sofar no positive effect is proven, and therefore for the EMA there is no reason to approve ivermectin for use on COVID19. It is a matter of waiting for a good trial for a definite conclusion, but personally I have no high hopes for this one.
