Crazy (and not-so-crazy) shit about Covid-19

[Bao]

Are they vaccinating in Sweden? I got mine today. Painless so far. Though, my iPhone is trying to pair with my arm. Wtf. Jk.

So far it's going sloooooooooow. Vaccination only possible for hospital employed and people +75 until may or june. My dad (83 yrs old) should have his second shot this week. Most of the population should be vaccinated first in the autumn or winter. The authorities seem do as little as possible and they have no organisation skills whatsoever. This country is a joke really.

My wife got her first vaccine shot a few days ago (healthcare sector, so early access). Seemed to go OK, just a sore arm, a little tired and no other side effects. So far, so good, but then last night I said to her “I love you”, she replied “And I love you” and then came the voice of an older-sounding American guy: “Me too!”

Hmm, should I be worried...?

Nah. Gates knows how to use the included mute function.

I got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, so there's only one shot. It's supposedly over 95% effective in eliminating hospitalization and death. Anyway, I can just stay at home. Right now, 12% of New Yorkers have received at least on shot. Today, everyone over 60 is eligible. Next week, all the 24/7 centers will be open to anyone.

The result is that restaurants will be allowed 75% capacity. High schools are going to reopen. But, masks will still be required on public transport and in stores. There's no shortage of demand for the vaccine, either, and it's just in time for the warm weather, too.

Stockholm school sends pupil home for wearing face mask

UPDATED: A mother has told The Local her 13-year-old son was banned from attending classes at an international school in the Stockholm region until he agreed to remove the mask he was wearing. She is now complaining to the local municipality.
Linus decided to wear a face mask when he returned to classes at the British International School Stockholm (BISS) in Danderyd, outside Stockholm, on Monday. The school teaches around 550 children aged 3-17, according to its website.

“I decided to wear a mask to school. The first lesson [goes] fine with it on. But then in the beginning of lesson two, the teacher asks me to take my mask off, and I of course say that I didn’t want to because of the coronavirus,” he wrote in an email, forwarded to The Local.

Linus said he was then made to wait isolated in a room for three hours before his mother, Sarah Jefford, a wine educator who grew up in Switzerland, was able to pick him up.

“I was fuming,” she said. “I am deeply shocked by these measures and find it unacceptable. It should be a matter of choice. I don’t think one should be prevented from wearing a mask.”

Brief film report (4.5 minutes) about a young English guy with Long Covid. Important to remember (again) that Covid-19 is not only about whether you die or not.

Active covid virus was found in over 100 cases of patients after vaccination (double doses ) - yesterday info from US.
I`m kinda lost,
Is it mean, that vaccine allows you to live "healthy" with the virus ?
