Coronavirus thread

[Joe in PNG]

I once got noro from a team of a dozen people that came in from the USA for short term work. I had it bad at my house, but they had it worse, because it kicked in for them after they flew into a super remote location with only two bathrooms.

I've had enough unpleasant illnesses over the years. I will happily take the vaccine as soon as I can.

There's nothing worse than bad gastroenteritis.

Battling E Coli and Camphalobacter colitis right now.

I read something the other day about “long haulers” reporting some relief in symptoms after receiving the vaccine. Don’t think there’s enough data out there about that to make a determination, though.


A couple of my buddies, both in the high-risk category, have both refused to get the vaccine. They were both diagnosed with COVID last week. One was in pretty rough shape, but an antibody treatment seems to have turned it around. I think they both wish they’d gone ahead and gotten the vaccine, but neither one will admit it.

My MIL has this. Covid did not impact her severely initially, but she has the brain fog thing and it messed up her balance so she started falling and being weak. She has yet to really recover.

Yikes. Where'd you get that from?

Great question.

Either I ate some seriously poorly cooked food, or perhaps I caught it from our personal chickens. Although I do try and I feel like I do a good job of cleaning up after dealing with them.

If my preparation for Step 1 is any guide, your most likely diagnosis is Psittacosis. Unless you happen to be a young African American woman in which case I'll have to add sarcoidosis to the DDx too.

I was reading about the Salmonella outbreak in the song bird population.

That was an eye opener for me because I feed wild birds. I've noticed a lot of dead birds around my feeder in the last few months. I guess I need to take some extra precautions going forward. Maybe stop feeding with spring here.

Which manufacturer?

Moderna.

My brother (32 YOA) had an asymptomatic case of COVID. He's been hospitalized now over three weeks with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which they think may have been caused by the COVID infection. He cannot walk, can't use his hands, and his speech has been affected. He was otherwise healthy before this.
