Covid - 19

[PawDawg]

The delta variant currently has put 7 kids in Mississippi in ICU…

report by you

Also have a family friend who was admitted to Vanderbilt Medical suffering massive complications from the first round of the vaccine. If you talk to people on the ground, the evidence about this virus and the vaccines is far from conclusive. Results and issues are all over the map.

The evidence is overwhelming that you should get the vaccine. Can you imagine how much worse this family friend’s reaction might have been to the delta variant?

Or the zeta , eta, theta variants???

She didn’t get the virus. She is having complications from the shot. We have no idea how she would have dealt with the virus.

Yeah, that was quite a stretch!

That said, if you are 65 or older or have some of the preexisting conditions that make covid much worse...AND you have not already had the virus....makes perfect sense to get the vaccine.

I wouldn't trust it if I were a woman and pregnant or trying to become pregnant, either.

I am not arguing against getting the shot. I am arguing that if you've had the virus there is no real need to do so.

They may have been referring to Tennessee with those statistics, I don't know.

Personally I would prefer to have the immunity that came with having the virus and not that given me by the vaccine.

Immunity (protection is probably a more accurate word) if you've had a STRONG case of the virus appears to be running for a period of 3 to 5 months - that's it according to my friends and relatives in the medical profession...

[Dwayne From Minden]

The overwhelming vast majority of our positives in the parish the past 90 days have been between the ages of 19 - 40 unvaccinated individuals who have shown mild to no symptoms - no hospitalizations have been required amongst this group -

However, the hospitalizations are occurring amongst the 55 to 75 year old population who share the same household or have close prolonged contact of these unvaccinated 19-40 year olds who test positive with little to no symptoms

And the demographic make-up is running about 75/25 in the older group -

We are expecting rising numbers in the parish for the next 3 to 4 weeks due to July 4th activities and such...

I am not hearing of reinfection rates this high. How are they determining this?

Actual parish numbers through the state's portals -

Our coroner and our CEO at the Parish Med Center gives us weekly updates - and my wife is a deputy coroner and an NP who practices in the Parish

Remember Claiborne Parish has a population of around 17,000 give or take a few hundred

Very communal and rural

Same folks see the same folks and interact with the same folk vast amount of the time especially in the 55 to 75 year old segment

And we had our 18 year old vaccinated who is a very active athlete - 4 year letter & 2 yr starting qb at Haynesville High, 5 yr starter in baseball and swim team - and who has an underlying heart condition at the advice of his pediatric cardiologist (who many consider the top state and and one of the top ones in the mid-south region) - because he was more concerned about what the virus would do than what the shots may or may not do...

[PawDawg]

I talked to a friend this morning (age 74 and healthy) who had the shots early this year. He got the virus a few weeks ago. He said it was a "mild case", but did test positive and was sick.
