Chasing wild women works for me. Maybe one of these days I will be able to catch one, boy are they fast. Detecting and cleaning all that gold and silver takes up the rest of my time.:headbang:

Staying clear of other people as much as possible. Unfortunately no one knows when or where they will get a face full of expelled virus. Good luck to you.

Well if their right about being able to get infected twice with covid then it tells me any vaccine will be useless, I mean how will a dead virus or virus RNA protect you if having the virus already does nothing? I'll tell you it won't and couldn't if it's true you can get it twice, of course it won't stop the drug companies from trying to make a buck though. I won't be taking it though as they already shot that in the foot by telling me everything I need to know.

Just like influenza, vaccination works about 50% of the time. I havent had flu for 15 years, been getting flu shot for 15 years too with no adverse effects.

Treasure_Hunter, I got my FIRST one this century a month ago. And since I'm an old toad I got the super duper shot for old toads. One of my managers back in 2009 or so when that last horrid flu happened, anyway, he was trying to help me, he had it and was hovering over my shoulder for probably 5 minutes, sweating, sneezing, etc. and I didn't get it!

I believe it's only 50% effective because their guessing what strains will be active, if you come into contact with a strain that wasn't in the shot then you are at risk of getting it.

I'm not much of a vaccine fan.

My question is, they claim covid is mutating, so will the vaccine protect against the mutated strains?

I wonder if something like this virus killed off the Mayans, and other cultures that seemed to just disappear.

Different parts of the world get different influenza shots for the most common influenza strains for that part of the world. A doctor explained it to me once when I had a terrible case of the flu, I had had a shot already.

When I went to see doctor he did a blood test and asked me where I had travel to out of county, I told I hadn't left the country, he explained the strain of virus I had was not part of the flu shot I had received. In our discussion I remembered a week earlier I had met a friend I hadn't seen in 5 years at a airport, he was returning from working in Brazil, I remembered he had told me he felt like he was coming down with something, but at the time he was not showing visible signs of flu yet. Doctor explained each year the vaccine is made up with the most common influenza virus strains expected to be in this part of the world.

I don't do shots for anything-until last year I got the flu three times. In passing it along to anyone and everyone it had so many markers of the present Virus.
The specialist saw me in the late part of 2019, slammed the door when he left the room (tad pi$$ed) that I hadn't gone and got help the first time around.
So I took my first needle for Pneumonia which covered 5 strains, in 40 yrs.
It was a strange as I never had the flu for 15+ years, rarely a cold-then a triple header.
When the temp is 96.2 in the morning and 103.2 in the late afternoon-somethings wrong.

I only find it's really hard to get folks to work, getting things done before winter. The ones working are stretched to the limit. One contractor said if they do another closure he'll be the first one to shut it down-he's tired.
Besides that I rarely even notice anything is happening outside my own little world.
The numbers are growing-three major hot spots now in the province, all in the large urban centres.

This is how it happens in life. We often think "Why do we need vaccinations if I rarely get sick?" or "Why do I need vaccinations if I do not visit crowded places and the chance of infection is small?" We reimagine such things when we face the disease directly. When we get sick, we realize that vaccination is important. I myself 2 years ago had the flu for the first time in my life, and after this incident I began to get a flu shot every year. Now I'm waiting for the coronavirus vaccine, because I don't want to get sick with this stuff.

DNA based vaccine INO 4800 They have worked with Sars and Mers with a 98 percent memory response after 60 weeks. Mers and Sars are a type of Corona virus actually so is the Flu. I got a ton of stock in INO pharma.After Election you will hear all about it.........Stay safe

A flu shot only protects you for a few months, and then only if they guessed right about the strains of flu that are prevalent in a given year. You can catch the flu anytime but it is most prevalent in the fall/winter. Thus the term "flu" season. The administration of the flu shot is timed to protect you during the period you are most likely to come in contact with the virus.

The vaccine for Covid will probably need to be administered periodically, like the flu shot. What isn't clear at this point is whether there will be a "Covid" season. If not, you may need to be re-inoculated every 3-6 months to retain immunity.

A2coins posted while I was typing. I'm not familiar with the DNA based vaccine he mentions. If he's right about the 60 week memory response then a covid vaccine could be given annually along with the flu shot.
