7:30 am

dan2bit

8:10 am

8:11 am

dan2bit

8:17 am

MollyL

That bottom r had me going for a while.

8:21 am

hokie carla

oh, there's donner. couldn't remember who

8:22 am

jeepers

tyvm dan never heard of that before fw!

8:22 am

hokie carla

got my covid shot yesterday. now feeling terrible. current temp: 101.

8:35 am

MollyL

How to get sick while fighting disease.

8:35 am

hokie carla

it definitely makes me think twice about the next one

8:37 am

NANCY

CARLA, is this your third booster? I am now wondering if I should skip this next one

8:37 am

MollyL

The frustrating thing is, people get these shots, get sick from them, and still end up getting COVID

8:38 am

hokie carla

well, they're saying this one is not a booster. this might be my 4th shot.

8:38 am

hydra

I was fine after my covid booster but was sick for three days after my latest flu jab. And right now I've got shingles! Get well soon, Carla.

8:38 am

NANCY

Yes, I have noticed that becoming more and more the case. I know many people who have had COVID two times and get all the boosters.

8:40 am

hokie carla

ugh, sorry, hydra. did you get the shingles shot? I've heard that is bad. I had shingles a few years ago and it wasn't too bad.

8:40 am

rururocks

I think the point of the booster isn't that it prevents covid it prevents it from killing you

8:40 am

hydra

I've had Covid 3 times. The first time was by far the worst as it was before we had vaccinations. The last two times were still bad, but not SO bad, if you know what I mean. I've had a shingles jab too, but the doc said you can still get it, just not so badly.

8:40 am

hokie carla

that's right, ruru

8:40 am

hydra

Yes ru, I think you're right.

8:40 am

NANCY

My doctor advised me to wait for the one that is supposed to be coming sometime this month.

8:41 am

rururocks

i got mine recently we have the updated one here

8:41 am

hokie carla

yeah, I thought the updated one was everywhere now

8:41 am

hokie carla

in US

8:42 am

rururocks

Nancy might live out in the boonies

8:42 am

NANCY

Doc said this new one is better suited to the latest variants.

8:42 am

hydra

Excuse my butting in to your chat! G'day everyone.

8:42 am

hokie carla

from what I've read the old one isn't even available

8:43 am

NANCY

I do not live in the boonies ru. Melbourne Florida area is far from the boonies.

8:43 am

hokie carla

not butting in, hydra. hope you feel better soon!

8:44 am

hydra

Thank you! I've got shingles on my leg and can hardly walk!

8:44 am

rururocks

you didn't get the two shingles boosters?

8:44 am

hokie carla

ugh, when I had it it was on my arm

8:44 am

NANCY

Hydra and Carla, hope you both feel better soon.

8:45 am

hydra

No, I've not been given any boosters. Just one shingles jab 8 years ago.

8:45 am

hokie carla

I just turned 50 this year, ruru and have put it off

8:45 am

rururocks

I got two shingles shots.. about a month apart.. ant they hurt like hell

8:46 am

hydra

Nancy, thank you.

8:46 am

hydra

Prhaps in the Uk we only get one.

8:46 am

hokie carla

that's what I'm afraid of

8:48 am

NANCY

Me too. That shingles double shot really freaks me out. I dont mind shots but will take my chances with not getting shingles.

8:55 am

rururocks

well I haven't caught shingles.. but i did lose a week or two of sleep getting the shots

9:14 am

rururocks

well.. I didn't mean to kill the chat...

9:17 am

donnasc6dogs

FYI--Veterans Crisis Hotline = dial 988 and press 1, let them know you don't want to lose them now

9:17 am

hurshy

g'morning!

9:20 am

donnasc6dogs

sorry

9:20 am

hurshy

it's ok

9:20 am

hurshy

happens to us all

9:22 am

donnasc6dogs

just wanted to get that crisis hotline for today--everyone should know they made it easy--988 press 1--I know a young man who got help and saved his family a great deal of grief after months of struggle

9:22 am

hokie carla

sorry, ruru. I got sidetracked looking through my photos to see when I had shingles. never did find it.

9:23 am

donnasc6dogs

I had no reaction at all from the Shingrex

9:24 am

rururocks

I felt like someone whacked my arm with a baseball bat a dozen times

9:25 am

donnasc6dogs

I met a woman who got the shingles on her face and neck and was terrified of getting it in her eyes--that motivated me

9:25 am

hokie carla

my arm feels like that today. I did get covid and flu shots both yesterday.

9:26 am

hurshy

what are the manifestations of shingles anyway?

9:26 am

rururocks

I would never do both shots at once hokie

9:26 am

donnasc6dogs

still about 1500 deaths per week from Covid

9:26 am

rururocks

that's really a depressing statistic donna

9:27 am

rururocks

does it say how many of them are unvaccinated?

9:27 am

hokie carla

it's a really painful rash on your skin and in your nerves, hurshy

9:27 am

donnasc6dogs

painful itchy rash with blisters, takes about 2 weeks to clear

9:28 am

hurshy

ty

9:28 am

donnasc6dogs

did not see numbers but will check CDC website

9:28 am

hokie carla

luckily I got on the anti-viral quickly and it didn't spread

9:28 am

hurshy

3rd row grey!

9:29 am

hurshy

well geesh i just really lucked out monkeying an no7/8 combo

9:29 am

rururocks

shingles are supposed to be terribly painful.. the pain goes through the roof so to speak

9:32 am

donnasc6dogs

here comes a bunch of data: . Across all age groups, adults aged ≥65 years accounted for 62.9% (95% CI = 60.1%–65.7%) of COVID-19–associated hospitalizations, 61.3% (95% CI = 54.7%–67.6%) of intensive care unit admissions, and 87.9% (95% CI = 80.5%–93.2%) of in-hospital deaths associated with COVID-19 hospitalizations. Most hospitalized adults aged ≥65 years (90.3%; 95% CI = 87.2%–92.8%) had multiple underlying conditions, and fewer than one quarter (23.5%; 95% CI = 19.5%–27.7%) had received the recommended COVID-19 bivalent vaccine.

9:33 am

donnasc6dogs

fewer than 25% were vaccinated

9:34 am

donnasc6dogs

9:40 am

donnasc6dogs

To think anyone ever thought Tom Cruise could be Reacher

9:41 am

car.eeyore

9:41 am

hokie carla

9:41 am
