But you didn't talk about the Excess Deaths statistics.

[@trashtrashisfree]

Vomiting was my first sign that something was really wrong when I had it a couple years ago. Definitely not something that normally happens at all to me.

[@skeller61]

My wife, who has stage 4 COPD, and I successfully went Covid free until early last week. We did this by isolating, I continued to wear masks when grocery shopping, etc. Ironically, we had a team of health care professionals visit our house after my wife’s hospitalization for COPD (physical therapy, occupational therapy, home nursing, respiratory help). This included one person doing an initial consultation for each and another coming for the therapy. Whether we got it from one of them, or my wife got it from the emergency room before, it’s been a lesson to us that with her condition, we had to reduce her isolation and it really bit us. I was in bed most of the time she was hospitalized and I brought her home yesterday and, per the doctor’s recommendation, we’ll be contacting hospice care this morning. While life goes on, Covid has really exposed how vulnerable we all are through routine and necessary interactions with others. Thanks for the report.

How many and what are the names of the new Covid variants? Remember giving vaccinations at the height of a pandemic forces mutations and variant numbers. What is the percentage of accuracy of Covid testing? Why are we not testing for Covid now? We cannot accurately determine the increase in Covid without testing.

I’m 10 days in this damn Covid variant. I’m immunocomprised due to breast cancer diagnosed exactly a year ago. Amazing how I avoided Covid during the many months of biopsies, MRIs, surgery, radiation and hormone blocker treatment. Shocked how quickly my husband and I got very sick last week. Definitely not mild symptoms even though I took Plaxovid. Praying my body can fight the rest of this virus 🙏

[@johnmitchell2741]

I actually was gonna give you a thumbs up till you said to get the latest Jab . WTF 🤣🤣🤣

[@rubberducky1507]

Sigh … I’m going to ignore all this and live my life 🎉

[@EngineerSaysWhat]

Gastro was a problem with Delta.

[@LPoppy2023]

thank you for explaining this went to have the Covid vaccine and the pharmacy appeared to be confused with how often the vaccine should be administered. I’m severely immune compromised and my Immunologist recommends every four months however the pharmacy indicated the CDC is stating something different.I live in Florida and obtaining information has become extremely difficult.

[@Kathleen-pl9pu]

Which vaccine, This july or next july?

[@chocojavachip]

How long is it taking for cows to recover from H5N1? In these 139 herds, are they all still sick or have most recovered? Are any cows dying?

[@Meekseek]

Cases cases cases oh the cases

[@ayumikeirawijaya]

What

[@gosia3032]

YOU MUST BE KIDDIND ME !!!!

[@acidthunder1]

No it isnt. Fearmongering is though

[@colleend2548]

Can we catch Bird flu

[@olivermoriarty1603]

Are you joking?

[@Turtledove2009]

Thank you.

[@janeshipley6993]

as always, i so appreciate your continuing attention to long covid👍🏼

[@Frederick-zm6zj]

?

[@williamrussellmorley]

us vets in massachusetts got an MNRA FLU vaccine in 2019 before covid came around so this technology for new flu vaccines is not real new and has been tested on some of us humans a few years ago, I didn't know what they were talking about when I had to sign something giving them permission to give me this new technology shot so I signed because you have to trust somebody some of the time, I have no idea if it protected me from any flu that year and I had no side effects FYI

[@ShillingEntertainment]

Stop

[@user-gj4dj6lh2j]

Thank you for the information . I tested positive me and my family last night 😢
