At this point, I am hoping that these pharmaceutical companies that have already developed vaccine will update their mRNA technology so that they can catch this and future variants. According to what I have read, for Pfizer, that would be about 2 months away and Moderna about three months. They may not have had this in mind last year when they developed these vaccines but this virus is still here mutating. Fortunately, the mRNA technology can be adapted with a fairly efficient turnaround time, so I have read.

Good to hear.

From what I've read in regards to mutations, usually viruses will mutate to become less severe and more contagious.

If the milder cases in South Africa were generally younger and unvaccinated, then maybe Omicron is proving that theory true in this case.

And the 1st generation vaccines were more about preventing severe symptoms, hospitalizations, and death then it was preventing it from infecting you.

I think down the line this will be a annual covid shot..much like the flu shot is annual.  The flu pandemic took up to 3 years before it became endemic...so I suspect covid will eventually be like that as well someday.

Also, I've has covid plus the vaccine...so I'm feeling more secure then most.

My 89 year-old mom and I got our Moderna boosters a couple of days ago. I have similar mild side effects as last time, some arm soreness, slight swelling and warm in the upper arm. My sister in FL (who also got the booster) is trying to decide whether or not to fly here to NYC for Christmas. Even though she bought her ticket, she's kind of playing wait-and-see with the Omicron news the next few weeks.

Ha!!!

 

That's good to hear. My boss wants us to go and get boosters around already busy December work schedule. I feel less worried I will be laid up like I was for Shot 2.

I haven't gotten my booster yet either. We should go together as Blanche would say and meet some men....some hot male nurses.

    • Yikes -a Cane/Phyllis sex scene. Why was there no warning before this episode aired? And of course Phyllis had sex with her bra on.  Had to laugh when Cane, trying to think of Phyllis' password to sneak into her laptop, talks out loud so we (and she) can be clued into what's happening. What is Phyllis' financial standing? At one point she was wealthy enough to run a hotel-which she gave up in an instant(can't remember why-some inane reason) Now she's scrounging around for a job with Cane. The many residents of the GCAC who are living in hotel rooms don't seem to do anything to personalize their space-no photos, books etc. The GCAC must have a strict policy on that. Nikki did look good today. Still find her hairstyle a little dowdy though. 
    • Then 87 is the year you're looking for. Vanessa leaves town in Jan 88. When I saw Jenny counseling Dinah about George making the pass at her, all I could think was that Van would be pissed Ross' latest fling was advising her daughter. Cop or not. 
    • As much as I hate Phyllis, seeing Billy Flynn in those boxers briefs in today's episode, has me almost tolerating her. BF looks

    • Dear sweet June, you'll get it right eventually.  In the meantime it's a good chuckle.

    • Damn, Leslie went in on Shanice... poor girl! Leslie really can't handle stress or certain emotions well, she lashes out. I also think it's weird she wants to know so many details about Eva's love/sex life. Vernon was sweet to June. It was nice (realistic) to see a customer complain to her though while she's still trying to establish herself. I'll be that guy, but for me personally, my enthusiam/excitement over the show has stalled yet again over the last couple weeks. For the majority, it seems like we're in a holding pattern until Winterfest. It's like they don't want to rock the boat or do much until then, which leaves us in a quiet period here. Are sweeps a thing still these days? Seems odd that we're having a slow November. That ending was good, but I saw that coming... in theory it should have a quick resolution, but I'm guessing Leslie will expose it at Winterfest and it'll get throw out of proportion haha.
    • Yes. Why? I don't really care. Vanessa is also acting dumb, trying to run between tables, on a date with Ross in one room and a business meeting with Alan in another.  One of the few times Van is written as less than the smart woman she was. 
    • I've been specifically looking for the episodes for Ross and Van together, because they essentially both raise Dinah at that period and the recaps around her typically avoid the Dorie years, the carnies, or Alan-Michael and Cam. I'm really just trying to trace a throughline between Paige, Wendy, and Gina. The last two are "easy," but it just messes with my timeline when Dinah thinks Alan-Michael would kill Ross. Then again, that Alan-Michael slept with his own stepdaughter, so...
    • Anyway...they literally mentioned the secret room today on Days and yes, this show needs a Kristen lesbian story lol.
    • Yes, they did a 'premiere' of Maggie's death episodes at the ArcLight theatre in Los Angeles, arguably then the nicest movie theatre chain in the USA. Plus, Suzanne and Deidre were in a ton of scenes together during this time. Whatever happened between them happened after 2004.
    • There are episodes with Jenny (Mary Ellen Stuart) that she was in pre-writers strike.. and I know that she lasts until at least August 1988. It's a shame that the show didn't try pairing her with Rusty since the two had more chemistry than she had with Ross and that he had with Rose.
