Love to know how everyone is getting a walk in Jab. Registered the night they opened, no appointment slot yet sent to me, get rejected from 3 sites for walk-ins, they have too many bookings.So glad I have a co-morbidity.

Lambda comes from Peru. Gamma comes from Brazil unless there was a variant mutation in Brazil of Lambda? But no, I suspect with the way it's burning through us at the moment, we'll either have a new variant or a recombination soon (handful of worrying reports of people being co-infected).

I'm willingly to bet that "delta" variant won't be the variant of talk within a week. I have an itchy feeling that there are new ones here already.

https://virological.org/t/viral-infection-and-transmission-in-a-large-well-traced-outbreak-caused-by-the-delta-sars-cov-2-variant/724 TLDR; The viral loads in the Delta infections were ~1000 times higher than those in the earlier 19A/19B strain infections on the day when viruses were firstly...

For those interested or get conflicting messages over the variants: WHO variants of concern: Alpha Beta Gamma Delta And the seven variants of interest: Lambda Epsilon Zeta Eta Theta Iota Kappa Alpha was actually really good at evading neutralizing...

I know two people who got their shots at the dischem warehouse without medical aid, and one person who got sent away from a dischem. As long as you have your number you can take a chance. From what I've read some sites occasionally don't get vaccine, and some sites don't get enough people...

And you think Merck doesn't coin 17 billion euros a year? "Big Pharma" makes it. Why would they not want people using it? Even if it was cheap, they could spin a massive profit off prescribing it as prophylaxis or treatment.

Honestly fuming rn. Looks like my age group will end up with the Sinovac. Honestly would rather die of Covid. If people had the chance to get JJ or Pfizer and didn't...well up yours.

Even after you second Jab, the effeminacy is rated at keeping you out of hospital, not keeping you completely immune. There have been notable infections from Delta and Delta plus in fully vaccinated people, but only a handful of deaths.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/jul/01/covid-perfect-storm-as-more-patients-hit-by-fungal-infections "Scientists now say concerning reports of other fungal infections, caused by pathogens including Aspergillus and Candida auris, have emerged in hospitalised Covid patients. In...

I keep hearing the story that Delta is causing false negatives, but can't find any solid literature. If you can, is there a percentage above the normal amount for this variant?

Honestly think most people don't care anymore. Even the news is fairly silent, not much in the way of alarm bells.

It's a phone cover that is a mod, specifically for the iPhone 5, so I reckon it was either a concept or very limited production.

Holding thumbs for you man, and everyone else in this thread who has someone infected.

https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-india-reports-new-delta-plus-coronavirus-variant-of-concern-12339465 New sub-mutation of the delta variant. Seems to have a mutation found on our Beta variant which stops the effectiveness of certain antibiotics on the secondary infections.

Had mine for a while, it's great, it's just that the light blue and grey covers get dirty AF quickly

This freaks me out, Delta variant and gamma variant both showing signs of smacking kids hard, many children not vaccinated, vaccines show a strong trend to stopping "severe" infection in these variants but not stopping infection, honestly seems like we're going to push in a path for strains that...

The daily cases are almost 50% higher than the first two peaks
