73% of the cases in GA are Omicrom, over 3X more spreadable than Delta. The only good news is, Omicrom is mild at best with symptoms, the bad news is it triggers a much easier positivity rate and that can put the players out of the game on the 31st. Break canceled on live in the football building until the the travel to So. Fla and then hunker down at hotel. Only chance we have to be health and have a shot! (no pun intended)
Luckliy there is time before the CFP to get this ironed out - I just hope this isn't a big distraction during practices.
i just don’t think we can cancel Christmas and family time over a football game. Also, positive tests are gun a get everyone. We are not on an island. It’s best to rip the bandaids off now than to delay the inevitable. Isolation, masks, quarantine, and vaccines is not going to stop exposure. We are a connected society.
let’s just say we did lock everyone in the butts-mehre building. They still have to travel to so. Fla on a plane that was cleaned by someone who could be shedding. And same with the hotel. Life can’t be in a fishbowl. Everyone is going to face this same thing. The make or break is the timing of it. As I said before, we don’t know the protocols. JT may only need to test negative twice on 24 hrs to get off quarantine or he may only have e to quarantine for 5 days which leaves plenty of prep. I say, let’s all take a deep breath and let things play out.
Wrong. Boosters are effective immediately. Team should have been vaxxed and boostered by last month.
I knew this was coming...can't imagine both teams won't lose at least a few starters by New Years Eve. It's almost inevitable considering holiday travel and family gatherings. Crossing my fingers...
You can get all the shots you want. Omicron don't care. The good thing about it is the survival rate in this age group is vitually 99.99 % . The overwhelming majority won't even have symptoms. It's all much ado about nothing for these kids. Way over-hyped and politicized.
Time we change the rules concerning covid or the NC will be decided by it(covid) and not a team.. Shame.
Boosters are to prevent Hospitlizations and death, not to keep someone from getting Omicrom. these outbreaks among the Leagues where 95 % have been vaccinated prove it knows how to get past the jab.
Good to see the scientific community represented. 🤡
Just saw your post...did you go to medical school for that info? I just got my booster, and the pharmacist corroborated what I read about the 14 days.
The body has to build up antibodies based on the antigens that they put in the vaccine...that doesn't happen immediately.
When I got my 2nd dose of Moderna, it took me about a day before I started to feel the effects of it, so it wasn't immediate. And it hit me and my wife pretty hard.
Umm, and you do know that you CANNOT get a booster until you're 6 months out from your 2nd dose, right?
I didn't get my 2nd dose of Moderna until 5/25, so I couldn't even get it UNTIL 11/26 anyway.
And I'll throw this out...the vaccines were NEVER given as a guarantee against getting COVID, they simply provide protection against the severe cases leading to hospitalization and death.
GO DAWGS!
Not when I posted my comment. It was added.
My daughter is the only one in our family of 5 who hasn't been vaccinated. She's the only one in our house who has gotten COVID.
She got delta over the summer, and it was a mild case, thankfully.
In all of my checking on her in her room (multiple times daily), I never got it (I just got my Moderna booster this AM).
Regarding the natural immunity, that is actually FALSE. The virus can actually hide from the natural antibodies much more easily than it can from antibodies that are built up from the vaccine.
The Omicron likely mutated in South Africa or some other country where vaccination rates are low.
There's so much misinformation about the vaccines, it's scary. I love my oldest daughter, but she hasn't gotten the vaccine and we won't force her (I don't believe in mandates either). However, the arguments that she uses against getting the vaccine just don't hold any water.
The boosters may have some side effects (all vaccines have potential side effects), but if people have a compromised immune system anyway, the effects of COVID will likely be much worse.
As a Christian, I see the MRNA therapies as a modern day miracle. Moderna's 1st attempt at an MRNA flu shot was AT LEAST as effective as the most effective egg based flu shot on the market from Sanofi. This is great news for people who are allergic to eggs and CANNOT get a typical flu shot!
