Popular Post Macrohistory Posted August 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2021 NYT Vaccine reduces risk of infection even in people who’ve already had Covid, the C.D.C. says By Roni Caryn Rabin Aug. 6, 2021 Unvaccinated people who have had Covid-19 may be more than twice as likely to get infected again than those who tested positive and bolstered their natural immunity with a vaccine, according to a small study that assessed the likelihood of reinfection. The study, published on Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, examined the risk of reinfection during May and June among hundreds of Kentucky residents who tested positive for the virus in 2020. Those who did not get vaccinated this year faced a risk of reinfection that was 2.34 higher than those who did get their shots. Released on Friday, the study suggests that for those who had overcome an infection, the addition of a vaccine offered better protection than the natural immunity generated by their original bout with the virus alone... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/06/health/covid-vaccine-reinfection.html 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker88 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Both of these were in Bangkok......... A friend got hold of one of the Home Test kits and it said "Positive". She exhibited no symptoms whatsoever. She went to a hospital to arrange for a PCR test to confirm. They took the samples, gave her favipiravir and paracetamol, and told her to quarantine at home for three days while awaiting test results. Three days later her PCR came back 'negative'. Apparently the home tests do run about 5% false positives. She never took any of the drugs, fearing side effects Had a chat with an young, fit foreign acquaintance two days ago where he told me he had just spent a few weeks in the hospital with Covid. His only symptoms were intense pain in his legs from Deep Vein Thrombosis and blood clots. He was given lots of blood thinners along with favipiravir and paracetamol, plus almost daily PCR tests. After a time he was declared cured and sent home. He has developed liver problems and Hep A, but isn't sure if that is Covid related or a side effect of the anti-viral and paracetamol (or dirty hospital food). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note that only ~17% of population is 60+. Clearly the 60+ group should be #1 priority. Median age often ~ 67 which means half the daily deaths are over 67ish. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Health care workers and those over 60 years and with underlying med conditions should have been number one priority from day 1, but unfortunately, this is Thailand. How many VIPs, tourist workers, etc have been vaccinated to date? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
