    Is this high enough? I read dapat daw 20 days after getting covid pa nagde develop talaga immunity. What I don't know is 20 days from testing positive or recovery kasi my first day of symptom was August 25 and I recovered Sep 7. I had the test done Sep 26

    apologies.

    what did the expert say?
    "get vaccinated, then act as if you are not."

    Ito yung hindi gets na iba. I got into a discussion sa twitter kasi may hirit na

    "vaxxed people has higher viral load than unvaxxed"

    "he knows people na vaxxed > infected > died"

    "nauto tayo...." (maye referring to pharma)


    He doesnt have the fundamental understanding of how these vaccines operate.

    vaxxed people don't get higher viral load than unvaxxed

    vaxxed people can have THE SAME viral load in the nose/throat as unvaxxed

    but vaxxed people can clear the virus faster than unvaxxed (mas mabilis bumaba ang viral load)

    FDA Advisory No. 22-2166 || Public Health Warning Against the Purchase and Use of Adulterated and Unnotified Health Product/s ” CLINS UP ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL “ - Food and Drug Administration

    This is from GA's post. "CLINS UP" isopropyl alcohol contains methanol which is toxic. These are still being sold in shopping apps. I guess the lesson here is stick to known brands.


    This is the link for GA's testing of various alcohols.

    kagalingan right again.

    Ito pala alcohol binili ko at the start of pandemic. Isang lang binuksan ko halos hindi nagamit. Maalikabok nga natengga.

    I will only use ethyl. No to isopropyl

    img_20210928_232717.jpg

    Napwersa lang ako bumili dahil sa mga kasama sa bahay

    But eventually ako pinakinggan = handwash soap....perceive think act.

    Yikes! It's really true that this alcohol is still around lazada/shoppee. Time to avoid unknown alcohol brands.

    DOH's late release of COVID-19 tally, report on 3-day zero deaths draw concerns

    Kaya 0 deaths for 3 days, di kinaya ng database na covidkaya yung data. Disk space problema. They have budget for ₱175k laptop, pero harddisk wala sila pambili.

    Those on Moderna may not need boosters...

    Emerging evidence suggests that people on #TeamModerna may not need a booster as much as others.

    Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released data sets from hospitals around the country. That data is starting to indicate that people who got Moderna's vaccine are less likely to be hospitalized than people who got Pfizer's or Johnson & Johnson's.

    Another CDC report released earlier in September suggested that Moderna's two-dose vaccine reduced the risk of hospitalization by 93%. For Pfizer's vaccine that figure was 88%, and for Johnson & Johnson's it was 71%.


    A study of hospitals in New York, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Utah, California, Oregon, Washington, Indiana, and Colorado found that Moderna's vaccine was associated with a lower proportion of hospitalizations than Pfizer's or J&J's among vaccinated people.
    4 charts show why Moderna vaccine recipients may not need boosters as much as people who got Pfizer's vaccine

    like many critics, i have 20-20 hindsight.

    "did they not consider the possibility that their computer might not have enough space to process all that data? i mean, it's an ever-increasing mountain of information. i would have asked for a much more powerful system, at the get-go..."
    heh heh.

    I'm sure bloowolf was just joking. What I want to know is if I am exposed to a person with covid:

    1. Extremely low probability that I will catch it
    2. I will catch it but I will be asymptomatic

    I know may time frame lang na mataas antibodies ko. I just want a haircut lang talaga without fear na I will catch it at makapanghawa ako Feeling ko subhuman na ako because I cannot even do basic things/self care anymore

    Gusto ko lang naman makapag pagupit without fear na maco covid ako. Basta ang assumption ko lahat ng tao sa paligid ko may covid. Mahirap kasi I know by experience that wearing a mask isn't enough to protect me.

    the vaccine is believed to tone down the infection, if not completely remove the possibility of it gaining a normandy.

    are the rest of the infected family members also vaccinated, i wonder?
    statistics favor the vaccinated.

    No not all are vaccinated in his family unfortunately. Right now company policy is a diagnostic clinic will come to our office to conduct swab antigen test first if positive then swab rt-pcr.... if negative swab antigen then we can go back to work.

    yes, i know mr blo was joking.
    leg-puller, here.

    go have your haircut. look for a haircutter with negative covid test or positive antibody test, like you.
    chances of infection would probably be less.
    keep your mask on, during the process. hold the mask with your hand, when the garter has to be un-hitched.
    "no shaves on the face." we can do this ourselves, in our bathroom.

    my colleague had a recent haircut.
    "san ka nagpagupit?"
    "jan sa mall. bruno's. first costumer of the day tayo. then i checked on him a week later. no sign of illness.".
    heh heh.

    doc, kung ang middle class nga namamahalan sa RT PCR, how do I expect the haircutter to swab herself or get an antibody test (ako nga namahalan and you could ask my friends and family, the LAST thing they will say about me is kuripot) I will not shoulder that P5k RT PCR, and even if I did, she does not live with me. She can get covid from the time she got swabbed until the results come out.

    Ilang weeks ng nasa isip ko yan haircut na yan because I feel subhuman already with my ugly, long and dry hair. OMG talaga!!! You know how I feel like right now? Thank God hindi ako nagkaka pimples

    i was also thinking that,
    until the aircon repairman i called to service our appliance, brought out his covid test result, after i joked him about catching covid from him.

    my neighborhood barber shop is still closed, until the barbers get their vaccinations, sabi ng facebook person nila.
    i am supposing, the hair shops that are already open, have vaccinated workers.
    tawag po kayo and ask!

    you get pimples when your hair pores and follicles get infected, and not because you need a haircut.
    something a good regular bath can significantly help prevent.
    but you know that!
    hyperbole.
    heh heh heh.
