Six hundred and eighty-nine cases today. This is a big and rapid surge. Remember that the fully vaccinated are very protected against the Delta variant. There may be some breakthrough transmissions but these breakthrough infections cause mild to moderate illness. The vaccines are less effective at preventing transmission with this variant but they are just as effective ( 93%) at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, and death. This link provides good information: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data/hospitalizations The key is to be completely vaccinated. Find a location that gives vaccines and get one today. Until you are two weeks past your second shot ( which is 4 weeks after the first shot) you are not fully protected. Until then, we should all be wearing masks in public spaces. I am inclined to wear a mask or keep my distance in gatherings indoors or outdoors until this next wave passes. Do not be alarmed by the number of new cases each day. This is to be expected with this highly transmissible variant. One breath near someone who has COVID can lead to infection. Watch the number of hospitalized and in the ICU and remember that most of these folks are not vaccinated. God Bless them all. Remember that children under 12 are far, far less likely to become seriously ill with COVID-19. It is an extremely rare event despite the news reports coming out of the USA. If we are all vaccinated, we protect those that are not eligible for vaccination yet. Get vaccinated, enjoy the summer if you are vaccinated and remain steadfast and strong. We've got this. This week, a small group of individuals will be eligible for a booster shot. - People who have had transplants (including solid organ transplant and hematopoietic stem cell transplants) - People on this group of immunosuppressant drugs- An anti-CD20 agent (i.e., rituximab, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab) - People who are on table, active treatment (chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapy) for malignant hematologic ( blood) disorders - Residents of Long-Term Care Homes, High-Risk Retirement Homes and Elder Care Lodges. The minimum dose interval is 56 days (8 weeks) from their previous dose. Reach out to your primary care provider to learn more about how to get a booster if you are in one of these groups. Public Health will take responsibility for people in LTC and retirement homes. They do not need to call. At this point in time, two vaccines in healthy people provide good immunity to at least the 9 months mark. Stayed tuned as the smart people in charge of the monster decide when we will need boosters.

The worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passedWhen I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
ReplyDeleteMy mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society.
