This is unexpectadly high, and good news for anyone who got the latest vaccine.

I'm on the west coast and the latest covid wave just started hitting my town, so I hope I can continue to avoid it.

My friend in a long term care facility a few towns over got hit a couple weeks ago and three people died. They got the last vaccine several weeks ago, and then got "minor cold symptoms" when covid hit their facility, but never tested positive. Not many residents facility got the last vaccine because of the fucking privatization bullshit.

This country is Satan.

Yeah that can happen with vaccines, because you aren't actually sick, it's just your immune system overreacting to something that it thinks can make you sick. This does, however, give you symptoms you associate with illness. Your subsequent covid infections - during which you are actually sick, with something that can cause you actual permanent damage and death - are considerably less severe because you took the vaccine.

That really sucks it fucks you up for an entire week though, it's only a day or two for me.
