COVID-19

So Lars won’t show up for Hans’ autograph session, because they’re Swedes?

Nailed it.

Yep. She said most fully recover within 2 weeks. 10% take 4-6 weeks. Another 10% turn into “long-covid” which can take 9-12 months to fully recover.

Shoot, Das. My mild case was over in four days, and I felt normal again on the fifth day. I am not sure there is a “most” with this stuff.

So then which is Henrik and which is Daniel?

In the end, we’re all Henrik and we’re all Daniel.

Hans and Franz?

I’ll second those sentiments, what with being an airline employee.

Fucking humans.

So sorry to hear this. I hope you don’t have long COVID.

This is unless you listen to Joe Rogan, who will tell you to take Ivermectin, because “60% of the time you recover every time.”

Flew with a former Marine (remember, they’re former, not ex!) last week who started off the trip with, “Oh, you’re from Austin? I was listening to joe rogan on the drive in to work…”

It was a subpar trip.

This may have been answered previously and I missed it, but I’m going to ask again.

If you had Covid 12/30, how long would you be immune? Or how soon would you be able to get Covid again?

I’m not sure there’s a definitive answer to that yet. What I’ve seen is that infection immunity should be at least 2-3 months, potentially up to a year for some people. But if you’re asking if you were infected this past December, can you get it again in June, I think the answer is “yes, possibly”.

Yep, my doctor (a general practitioner) said the prevailing thinking is 2-4 months of relative immunity.

From what I’ve seen, 90 days is the conservative “most likely good” with up to 6 months being the speculation.

There were plenty of studies done on the original strains and Delta that indicated natural immunity can last up to a year when combined with vaccinated immunity, but obviously that can’t really be applied to omicron and later variants and there hasn’t been enough data to amend those conclusions in any informed way.

Thanks, it is really hard to find that answer online. There have been some co-workers around here getting Covid and I’m hoping they’ve not entered my air before getting sick.

In April my wife and sister still had measurable antibodies from their COVID infections in December and January, respectively. But no one really knows if their antibody levels were “good” (i.e. high enough to prevent another infection) or “bad”.

This was in the fantasy baseball notes for Hunter Dozier.

“Dozier’s third triple of the season cashed in Bobby Witt Jr. in the fifth inning to extend the Royals’ lead. He also added a single. Dozier is one of 10 unvaccinated Royals players not traveling to Toronto for their four-game series this weekend. The good news is he’ll have some down time to do more research.”

This is the most remarkably dumb line I’ve seen from one of these remarkably dumb guys:

Whit Merrifield: “If something happens and I happen to get on a team that has a chance to go play in Canada in the postseason, maybe that changes.”
