#PfizerGang. :myman:

Been a little less than 24 hours since I got the second dose and I've had zero side effects so far aside from the sore shoulder.

They said to stay hydrated, and I already drank a gallon of water before I went to get the shot, so maybe that helped? :ld:

I hope they didn't just shoot me with a placebo and tell me it was the vaccine. :lupe:
Sounds like the one I need. 1st shot no issue either? I have a moderna appointment tomorrow at 9am but I can pull out and go to another place, giggidy

Just the sore shoulder, but nothing debilitating.

Went to the gym the next evening and even trained shoulders with no problem. :yeshrug:

Ontario enters harder lockdown, police get more powers as COVID cases soar

Ontario got it bad. They say this lockdown is worse than last year.

:gucci::gucci:
Damn. Where did Canada go wrong? Y'all were doing pretty well for such a long time. Given the strict customs process, what's the catalyst for the surging numbers? Is the government overreacting or do the cases/deaths justify the lockdown? I was really hoping to take the wife and kids to Niagara Falls at some point this summer:mjcry:

Across India, funeral pyres light up the night sky. Playgrounds and parking lots in the capital, New Delhi, have been converted into mass cremation grounds.

"The situation is very grim here. We are short of everything," said Dr. Aniket Sirohi, a municipal health official in south Delhi. "I want to say to the world, 'Help us, in any way you can.' "

Sirohi is supposed to be working on malaria prevention. But since the pandemic began, he's had the unenviable job of counting bodies. Each day, he goes to every crematorium and burial ground in his district of the capital, tallying deaths from COVID-19. Of his 11 staff members, five currently have COVID-19, he said.

"We are just doing the best we can. The morale is pretty shaken up," he said. "I have not taken a single day off."

Last year, at the height of the pandemic's first wave in India, Sirohi said he was counting about 220 COVID-19 deaths a day. When NPR spoke to him Wednesday, he counted 702 for that day. He passes those numbers up the chain of command. But the death figures the government ultimately publishes for his region have been at least 20% lower than what he's seeing on the ground, he said.

He attributed this disparity to administrative chaos. People from neighboring states flock to Delhi for medical treatment. Some die in Delhi and are cremated there but remain registered as residents somewhere else. They don't get counted anywhere, he said.


"Somehow the numbers are not getting recorded or not shown or getting missed," Sirohi said. "India always had a poor record of maintaining these things. We have a lot of population. So there's a bit of a problem with coordination – especially in times like this, when 50% of my staff is sick."

In the western state of Gujarat, local media tracked 689 bodies that were cremated or buried under COVID-19 protocols in one day in mid-April. But just over a 10th of those deaths made it to the government's tally: The official death toll that day was 78. Such discrepancies are being reported in several states.

Thanks. I had a 9:45 Moderna Booked, but I went with the 10:20 Pfizer a little farther away. I want as little sides as possible. I need to be back in the gym Monday. My girl had an on and off fever with the Moderna, parents had no issues. Hopefully I'm good.

"I don't think there's any evidence that it's an escape mutation [which would mean] it fundamentally can't be stopped by the vaccines," Dr Jeff Barrett, director of the Covid-19 Genomics Initiative at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, told BBC News.

"I think we have to obviously watch carefully, but there's at present no reason to panic about it."

This variant has been around since October of 2020. The article you posted about "virus variants" is from Janurary 2021.
