But hey, #COVID19 is over, and all is fine, except for the coworker here who just got exposed, is positive, and work now ordered him to stay home (he was exposed off campus, so I am cool but still). So they are gone until Monday now.
But hey, it's over! (/s)
And yes, they and me did #GetVaccinated. So their case should remain mild *knock on wood*

#IDMastodon #Immunology #CovidIsNotOver #getvaccinated @medrxivpreprint the benefits of #COVID19vaccination on symptom severity following #SARSCoV2 infection.š is associated with high acute antiāS antibody level but reduced convalescent antiāN antibody level. High antiāS antibody level is associated with reduced duration of infection, reduced infectiousness and may also reduced symptoms severity and number of symptoms.

A late summer COVID wave is here, but it's trickier than ever to track
With the end of federal COVID case tracking and the prevalence of rapid at-home testing, virus-related hospitalization rates and wastewater analyses are the best bet for monitoring spread.

So like I was saying, you can't believe the "official" data because it's incredibly incomplete...
"It seems like everyone has Covid-19. Hereās why this wave is probably worse than official data suggests"
All of the measures that factored into the model had stopped being reported or had changed in some way

This is a reminder that hospitalizations AND infections are not an accurate measurement since states are no longer required to report the numbers.
The increase is expected as it is at this time every year and expect it to keep going up in September due to most schools not taking precautions.

It's almost unbelievable that many of the Covid headlines coming out are to stop disinformation:
"The CDC didnāt say vaccinated people are likelier to get the new COVID-19 variant than unvaccinated"
https://apple.news/AQWycG692SB2BSr8XCe1j4Q
"No, Dr. Fauci didn't say unvaccinated 'must be locked down' this winter"
https://apple.news/A_5XchRnEQcmPeJ7joAT4Yg
"COVID-19 vaccines are not a threat to the children of vaccinated women, experts say"

And here we go, apparently we've got "a couple of isolated cases" of #COVID19 on campus. So the token "here are some guidelines but masking is optional" admin. email just came out.
And so it begins.

The Texas CARES Kids project seeks to understand the human antibody response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Itās open to Texas children ages 6 months & older. Participants will help measure how many people have COVID-19 antibodies, how long those antibodies last, & more.
Enroll your children at https://go.uth.edu/TXCkidsReferral

We don't just believe in them--we practice what we preach ļæ¼& vaccinate ourselves and our families!

There's no "may" about it, every study shows that Republican science deniers/red states had higher infection and death rates.
