Researchers said on Wednesday they retrieved ancient DNA traces of the Yersinia pestis plague bacterium from the teeth of three women buried in a medieval Nestorian Christian community in the Chu Valley near Lake Issyk Kul in the foothills of the Tian Shan mountains who perished in 1338-1339. The earliest deaths documented elsewhere in the pandemic were in 1346. Kyrgyzstan is asshoe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn’t feel as bad yet, but numbers are going up in SW Idaho. I’m in the 27%. I went 7 months from # 3 to # 4. I’ll be watching. There’s also an even more evasive variant rumbling in India.

A friend of mine in Virginia told me earlier today that he tested positive last night, and two of his subordinate managers have contracted it over the last week, one just got back yesterday. He's double vaccinated, and says that he just feels "off", and the members of his team had "flu-like" symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealthlobo Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 My gf caught it last week, Sxs included congestion with minor cough. She's good now. I luckily never caught it, must be my badass immune system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I luckily never caught it, must be my badass immune system. One one hand, I am not indoors with others for hours everyday of the week -- actually only intermittently and then mostly family. But, I'm in stores and offices for shorter periods of time and still Covid naive as far as I know. I keep thinking that being vaxxed 4x now plus four decades of being in close quarters with virus monger kids and young adults may have provided some cross-reactive T-cell protection? It seems from a number of readings this exists, but it's not really ever been nailed down well as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I've stopped following the immunology of covid and it's different strains, but that sounds about right. I doubt you received any t-cell protection though due to it being a part of "specific immunity" a covid was a novel virus, but your non-specific immune responses probably had some added protection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Sister in law went to Vegas, brought it back, got my spouse infected and then in turn infected me and the kids. It finally got me. It sucks but it’s almost completely gone just some phlegm and fatigue remaining. Took a while to clear up, maybe 7-10 days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
