Topic: Corona Virus Panic/Discussion Thread

I'm actually kinda counting on having similar effects as with the last two, so I can have an excuse to get home early from the family dinner (not that there's anything wrong with my family, I'm just not a huge fan of these affairs lasting for hoooouuuurs lol) To be clear, I was just feeling unusually fatigued through the next day after each shot.
Anyway, just got home after my booster shot, so far I'm feeling fine

Are you all doing mix-and-match boosters or going with the same one you started with? Both approaches have their proponents.

@Th3solution I got the other brand for the booster. Apparently they only recommend Pfizer and Moderna as the 3rd shot (not Astra).

I got all 3 Pfizer, wasn't given an option. No side effects after first one (apart from a sore arm), had to spend the next afternoon in bed after shots 2 and 3 but fine the following day

Had my booster earlier this morning. Only side effects so far is a very slight aching arm. @Th3solution First two were Pfizer and this one was Moderna, but I wasn't given a choice but I probably wouldn't have changed it anyway.

I’m a triple Pfizer recipient. Bit of a dead arm for number one and a slightly sore arm for the others 💪🏻

Oh wow. I’m feeling mostly fine but I’m pretty sure the arm didn’t hurt this much last time ouch!

It's Xmas Eve and I'm queuing for my booster. Stay safe and have a good one folks!

No more side effects, just an aching arm which feels no worse than number 2. And I feel a bit more tired than usual, but I think that more to do with the bin men being super early for some reason.

Got my booster today. Feel a bit garbage but I was like that with the other two doses. At least the nurse who gave me my jab was a guy I went to school with’s mum so had a nice wee chat!

Welp, violent shaking and chills are back. Same as the last jab. Had about 2 hours sleep. Dunno why I’m so susceptible to side effects but I guess it’s better than having actual Covid.

@nessisonett My sister currently has covid, but she says she is OK. Sounds you would be better off with covid! Not that I would wish that on anyone.

I finally caught COVID for the first time ever, and it's only been a few months since I got my third shot (booster). Both home antigen test kits came back with positive results.

Wish me luck in a healthy recovery guys, I'm gonna need it.

@KidBoruto Damn that sucks. Hope you have a speedy recovery there. From what I have heard for people who are fully vaccinated its not to bad its almost just like a cold. Still though hoping for the best for you.

@Kidfried Well, you can get the virus if you are vaccinated it just won't be as severe. That's how vaccines work. That's one reason this new variant is spreading so fast is because vaccinated people think they can't be a carrier because they are vaccinated. That's why it's important to still follow the advice of wearing a face covering and maintaining a safe difference from people even when vaccinated.

@Tasuki @Kidfried @RogerRoger Thanks guys, much love! I'm slowly getting back to full power now, just very mild cold symptoms.

I had to cancel my birthday party and a separate friend hangout sadly over it, but at least I get to stay home for my birthday week (turning 33 tomorrow), and paid to boot! Yay Covid leave lol.

It's finally found it's way into our household (my mother has it), so it's only probably a matter of time until it spreads to the rest of us. Luckily, when I spoke to her this morning she said she was feeling a bit better than she did yesterday.

We've all had the first two shots, but haven't yet been boosted.

@KidBoruto Good to hear you're okay and hopefully your birthday wasn't too bad!

@RR529 Fingers crossed for you. I know a few people who have had someone in the household with it but have still avoided catching it themselves so hopefully you might be the same.

My birthday was pretty great yesterday! My mom gifted me Returnal (PS5), I bought myself Rick & Morty Book Two Deluxe (comics), and then got $40 Cash + $55 Amazon gift cards from some relatives.

I'm hoping I'll be able to return to work by next Thursday fingers crossed. As much as I have enjoyed my time off from work, I do miss my co-workers.

Oh no that's terrible! My heart and thoughts go to your Mom, and I hope you all get over it fast if it does spread.

@KidBoruto, @RogerRoger, thanks for the well wishes.

Yeah, she's starting to feel better. She still seems to be coughing, but she doesn't have the headache she had on day one, and she's been much more willing to venture out of her room (masked, of course). When I left for work this morning she was doing work related paperwork, so she's wanting to do things.
