OT: USA COVID-19 Vaccination Updates

[Novalions]

Question for everyone, has anyone else tested positive for Covid after getting the vaccine? I had my J&J shot on March 10th, and so did my wife. I was feeling crappy this week and had burning in my nose and got tested Wednesday. I then lost sense of smell and taste. Test came back positive today. I am over a month out and I still got it.

I got a call from the Department of Health. They said it has been more common with other ones and not as much with J&J. I was just curious if anyone else has had this or heard of someone else having this happen to them.

As for how I’m doing, I feel fine. I walked over 5 miles yesterday and over 3 today.

Thanks in advance.

It happens. J&J is about 66% effective at preventing Covid. Many people still get it. But it has been nearly 100% effective give at preventing people from being hospitalized or dying from it.

Got to be some backlogged numbers in positive counts. Michigan et all still accounting for all of the increases?

 

[Cletus11]

Got to be some backlogged numbers in positive counts. Michigan et all still accounting for all of the increases?

See below, literally 8 states account for more than 50% of all cases. And NY, Michigan, and Florida alone account for 30% of all cases by themselves. So this is really about getting New York metro under control so they don't drive up cases in NY/NJ/Conn/Mass/PA (which are all up on the list) and the Michigan outbreak.

Also strange in the data is even though Cali is down there at 7th place in daily positives and has held remarkable constant at that daily positive total with no spikes, they are also #1 in daily deaths and by a decent amount. For instance yesterday they reported 155 new deaths next closest was Texas at 107 and then Florida at 83. So that is a little strange although their fatality chart is on the downward swing in California.

In order of cases yesterday:
New York - 9163
Michigan - 8834
Florida - 7121
PA - 5145
New Jersey - 4193
Illinois - 4004
California - 3609
Texas - 3018
Minnesota - 2646
North Caroline - 2509
Massachusetts - 2312
Ohio - 1946
Colorado - 1935
Maryland - 1840
Connecticut - 1807
Virginia - 1542
Georgia - 1441
Washington - 1396
Indiana - 1339
Arizona - 1302
South Carolina - 1165
Tennessee - 1120
Wisconsin - 1092
Everybody else is less than 800 per day.

all the major south jersey sites have tons of openings including the pharmacies. i was on the NJ registry and got an email last Friday that said I was now eligible and linked me to the local mega site, they had appts. available literally that day all afternoon.

I just got my first today at the Burlington County mega site. It was a breeze. I had gotten the email earlier in the week snd selected Sat so that when I go back in three weeks I will have Sat/Sun to recover from side affects.

know a couple of people that have been to the Burlington county mega site, they all had very good things to say. they were all very impressed about how well it was run and how fast they were in and out.

I wonder how bad new cases are as long as those cases are young people. Not to sound stupid but I saw that 99.4% of current cases were considered mild.

85k to 66k in positive counts. It would be so nice if states all reported the same times.

Or if we just gave Michigan to Canada....

 

[Cletus11]

Looking at this week, fatality last week was 873 and now is 764 is a 13% decline this past week and been on the decline now for 2 weeks after that week it flattened for a week at the end of March.

Daily cases last week at this time was 66,764 and now is 67,906 which is only a 1.7% increase. So very slight increase and as was noted, really focused around just a few states. I am hoping that we see the daily positives level off this week as some of those spikes areas have their natural rise and fall the vaccination rates continues to be high enough to push things lower in other locations.

Vaccinations was really good to see a 4.6M number today which indicates the capacity in the system and the hope that we can get to 3.5M+ per day average by late April. Based on what I have read, it appears that a lot of additional pharmacies are now coming on line that the supply of vaccine is there. As for that supply, obvious bad news on the J&J front with that Baltimore contract facility screwing up to the point of literally having the govt. tell J&J to take it over so no more mistakes and forbidding that location to make the AZ vaccine anymore (which appeared to be the issue in that they were making both AZ and J&J vaccines and got the recipes mixed up). So it appears no J&J vaccines for the next couple weeks until that facility has been re-approved by the FDA and all the production can be certified. Don't think that has a huge effect on things assuming that they get it straightened out by end of this month and can start shipping again as plenty of supply of vaccine out there right now for the next few weeks.

As for hospitalizations, as of April 8th it is 35,559 which is up 4.4% over the week. Which has steadily gone up since March 23rd where the low point average was 33,000.

Looking at this coming week, we should go over the 250M vaccines delivered and over 200M shots administered with over 50% of the adult population with at least one shot and nearing 33% with full vaccination. I see zero reason why the fatality number does not continue to decrease so really down to waiting on that daily positive number to start coming down to really put Covid behind us and have most locations start to goto that final phase of full re-opening.

More and more college kids will be getting vaccinated as well. Good news for everyone living in college towns.

More campuses are expected to add the requirement, with potential legal challenges ahead. One key point: Requiring vaccines for infectious diseases is nothing new for many residential colleges.

83% of deaths have been >65. We should soon have everybody that age vaccinated.

Hopefully the younger people who are getting it have mild cases and build antibodies.

Has anyone seen stats on the number of deaths by age group as vaccinations have rolled out? Interesting that the 7-day moving average for daily number of deaths has decreased by about 78% since the peaks just past mid-January (3,470 down to 765).

There is now a lot of testing going on in schools here in MA. Our HS-age kids are doing the optional pooled testing. The school district overall has had 14 positive pool tests (either positive or inconclusive tests which further testing proved positive) out of slightly over 1000 pools. That makes it a ~1.4% positive pool tests and a much lower individual positivity rate depending on the number of samples per pool (target was 10 per pool). I'm also curious about the distribution of the recent new cases by age group.

Only a small sample in that study.

What’s worse news, (that will make the COVID mess drag on for years, while killing many more), is the Chinese giving out a vaccine all around the world in an attempt to buy influence from 45 countries in Asia, S America, Europe, and Africa. They now admit their vaccine really doesn’t work that well. Well, at least the head of their CDC said that today. He may ‘disappear’ tomorrow.

Today and tomorrow are big days. By that I mean we need to see big numbers on the vax front. The US needs to increase the normal Monday & Tuesday vax amounts, should be no more of these 1.8 or 2.0 M doses given. No reason there should not be a single day with less than 2.5 and really at least 3.0 M per day with states opening them up to ages 16+.

Still don't think enough states have gone full open yet to see a huge increase this week. Next week is that magic APril 19 day that the admin has said everybody should be eligible so most states will be full open by then. this week should have more eligible people as some states have gone full open and other states continue to phase more people in week by week. but the full 50 states everybody can got get a vaccine isn't until next week and at that time, hopefully we push up to the 3.5M+ per day rolling average.

 

[interrobang]

As of last week 39 states had no eligibility requirements for vaccines. One state opened it up Friday. A couple other states open it up today.

Of course one state that hasn't yet opened up it California, so those will be big numbers once they open

So maybe the last administration was more spot on about the WHO and China - they certainly have not been held to task yet and now will be a contributor to prolonging the pandemic by distributing a poor vaccine around the world. I think their agenda is pretty clear even for the most obtuse.

it is the right thing to do. there are areas of the state that are having appts. go unfilled for no good reason other than not enough people eligible in that area that want to get it. ANd states are sitting on nearly 40M+ vaccines so no reason not to push as hard as possible for as many shots as possible from here on out.

Not to sound like a smart ass, but when the PA Dept of Health started the first phase with smokers included, they basically opened it up to everyone.

 

[NittanyLionFan]

Speaking of opening up,, I am in Phase/ Group 2 and live in Delco, but was just able to score a vaccination appointment in Lancaster this Wednesday (while still self-reporting as being in Phase 2). Was going to try the V.A. route, but I am not registered in their hospital system as I've never claimed any post-service benefits. I registered with them online right when it opened up; not sure how they are handling that one they open it up.

Good timing (well, better than next week lol!) on my vax as younger kid just tested positive right before older kid came off quarantine (got it at sporting facility thanks to other parents that sent their kid to the facility without quarantining despite an in-home outbreak). Younger kid is in quarantine through Thursday or Friday and I've tested negative a few times (PCR); same with wife, who gets her second dose today.

Holy shit.

Not to sound like a smart ass, but when the PA Dept of Health started the first phase with smokers included, they basically opened it up to everyone.

yes, there was nothing stopping anybody from claiming high blood pressure as they did not ask for proof. but still a lot of people who were honest were not going to go that route. which is why I have said that anybody who is at risk has been vaccinated as 40% of the adult population has a shot and if you had a medical condition that you thought you were at risk, zero reason (other than some outliers of people with literally no means, which isn't going to change now anyways) that you should not have gotten yourself a vaccine by now.

what opening up to everybody is going to do is finally get some vaccines to the 20/30 something population which is where a bulk of the positives tests are now as these are the people not vaccinated and going out to bars and parties, etc..and getting it and passing along.

In other words, the honest people are now eligible.

pretty much. although at a certain point you have to take matters into your own hands if you felt that you honestly were at risk and for whatever reason were not considered officially eligible .

Note the announcement says ‘to schedule a vaccination’. They have said that some people may not be scheduled to June or later but they can get the date set now. So this is basically a publicity stunt to look like they made great progress. But going from group 1C to all of a sudden everyone is not practical.

Link? Wolf says everyone that wants one will have at least one shot by mid May. That's not a scheduled appointment in June or later.

Might be like here in MD. could sign up last week for an appointment but the dates are full until may. Figuring PA is much larger and started a week later it could be June. Of course I can see a lot of PA people not getting it at all.

Middle of May based on the current amount of daily vaccines and assuming logical increase up into the 3.5-4.0M per day over the next 3-5 weeks gets that middle May (probably would have said late May, not middle) date. Also probably assumes that about 20% of adult population is not going to get a vaccine.

The past few weeks in NEPA they've had mass vax sites that pop up with a few days notice and you can get an appointment fairly easily. My co-worker got a JJ on Saturday and he's 52 with no pre existing conditions or smoker. They didn't even ask any questions regarding that type of thing just his insurance info.

Also, my 17 year old step daughter got her first Pfizer weeks ago through the mall store that she works for. With the stories and experiences that I've dealt with this, the vax sites don't care about your age (as long as over 16) or pre existing conditions, they just want to get as many people in as they can in a day.

Like I said in the other post, PA threw the phases out the window when they allowed smokers and people with certain high BMI to go first. The vax sites aren't in the business of trying to figure out who smokes or who's fat enough. That's the last thing they need or want to worry about.

If the supply is there I think mid May happens.
