2019-nCoV (Coronavirus)

So my family (6,8,12 wife and I) were all battling the normal early fall "crud" last week. Stuffy noses, sinus pressure the normal stuff. I did my normal sinus issue routine of the sinus rinse (Similar to a neti pot) and the sudafed you have to show your DL for. Was on the mend and other than feeling drained like my body was fighting something nothing. At least one of the kids had been tested and were negative for the 'vid. My mother in law lost her sense of taste and smell on thursday of last week (11/11) and tested positive, my father in law tested negative at the same time. They were both fully vaccinated since this spring some time. I lost my sense of taste and smell on saturday and tested positive. I'm fully vaccinated with the moderna vaccine since January....does this count as my booster? I've had a slight cough but actually have felt great all week as if I'm getting over a cold. My sense of smell is gone but I have very basic tastes such as salty, bitter, sweet and sour with slight hints of other things coming through. For example cheetos are disgusting powered packing peanuts but cheese popcorn has something I can recognize. Bacon wasn't flavorful but it wasn't gross. Coffee is just a slightly bitter liquid.

This is really frustrating but it could definitely be worse. The mother in law is starting to feel better, it had her knocked down pretty good for a few days.
Dealing with the same thing man. I’m vaccinated with moderna too. Hoping the smell and taste comes back soon. The shit of it is I worked in the healthcare field for almost two years without getting this. I got vaccinated in September and wham now I have covid. Hope your smell and taste come back soon. I’m a week out not being able to smell and it’s pretty irritating.

New cases increasing in Ohio - dang

Sadly yep. With cold weather brings sickness. A virus can't be eradicated with short lived therapeutics, especially ones that don't prevent the spread but rather create asymptomatic spreaders. I can't fathom anyone in the scientific community would be shocked by this happening, despite what they're willing to say publicly.

Lol, for crying out loud IT'S FLU SEASON!!! People always get sick this time of year. Nowadays, though, you cannot simply avoid people, rest, hydrate, and get over it. You must go into panic mode and assume you are going to die from Covid 19. With so many people vaccinated, this should not be a problem, RIGHT?

For the first time in more than a month, Ohio reported more than 6,000 daily cases of COVID-19


The state recorded 6,382 cases on Wednesday, according to the Ohio Department of Health. The last time Ohio reported more cases Oct. 8, with 6,651.

Last week marked the first time the state recorded more than 5,000 cases since October. While Ohio saw a decrease in coronavirus cases last month, it appears cases are increasing again.

The scientific community says u cant spread covid with the shot, or far less than thoughs with it, so the uneducated unvaccinated will get the blame vs lack of vitimin d being in doors together only breathing inside air and your body using more nuitrents to stay alive.......so no the scientific community wont all agree the spread is natural.... i caused it and many of u are to blame....

Yep there are studies now that show natural immunity to covid 19/delta is also short lived

No one I know that has had a confirmed Covid diagnosis has had a second infection. Several people I know that were fully vaccinated have developed Covid, however none of those were serious

Sure. If you believe anything the CDC says anymore and that it's totally unbiased and not agenda driven. Fortunatly there are plenty of less compromised sources out there that paint a vastly different picture. Even ones with the highest vaccination rate in the world who were the first to offer boosters say that natural immunity is far superior and longer lasting. But sure. Let's believe the CDC who has been the laughing stock of the world since the first US case was discovered.
