Huh. I got no reaction at all. Really unpredictable.
I've been told that my age group is in nice window of being young enough to have a quick-reaction immunity response, and old enough to be knocked down by the same reaction. Older, and my body would kind of space out the reaction, younger and my body would be like, "whatever man".
I remember when you were going through that and it sounded truly miserable. It ties in precisely with the experience of a few other people I know who had covid.
Funny as I get that weird euphoria, too, but then whatever sickness it is hits like a truck later i the day. The irony of this last year for me is that I have a shit immune system and always get sick, but from February 2020 until now I haven't been sick once, the longest stretch I can remember. I know we're all living different lives, but I haven't been anything like a hermit. If anything my wife and I have been a bit too la-dee-da about the whole thing, despite obeying the basic rules.
You're the first person I've met who didn't respond to my "euphoria" statement like I have a third eye in my head. In reality I suspect many people experience it, just aren't sufficiently aware to notice it. I tell you, if I felt that way all the time the world would either be changed or destroyed in short order! For some unknown reason I've always had a more robust immune system than pretty much anyone I've known (knoch wood and all that). I made it through my entire school career (K through uni) without a sick day and remember sometimes spending a week or more alone in class with just my teacher for company. I thank whichever of my ancestors bequeathed my immune system, guessing it was my maternal grandmother who was never ill that I was aware of and who lived to 98. She was one of the kids that survived the 1918 thing without ever getting ill in spite of having stood in the kitchen with her mother when she breathed her last. That reaction to the vaccine was a real shock though, let me tell you.
Somebody in my online circles described their 2nd vaccine dose as a weird euphoria, horrible hangover, then more euphoria. So there must be three of us. I didn't get Euphoria this time, but last night I felt fine. Took about 12 hours to hit me.
I'm thinking Wineology has a good idea with the roof-top seating with what look to me to be panels to separate between seating. Knowing the guy who owns it he was probably smart enough to tap into some grant funding to pay for it. Many years ago there used to be a great old neighbourhood pub downtown close to the river that had a roof terrace and it was always a favourite spot to drink - didn't hurt that I lived but a two block stumble away. All in a neighbourhood flattened to build the casino, of course. Still, there is something appealing about being up on the roof.
You'd have gotten a kick out of Randolph Street in Chicago over the winter, where a lot of the fancy restaurants are. The way the street is, there's side streets off the main one. So they filled those will all sorts of random ways to keep people both somewhat warm, outside, and isolated. So there was this collection of igloos and tents and wood cabins and plastic domes all up and down the street, anything to keep people coming in as there was no indoor seating allowed. I ate in a cabin on a rooftop at one place, which was kind of fun, just our group of 3. As much as I've hated the pandemic, I'll have lasting memories of the times my wife and our two friends in our bubble went out and lived amongst all the strange ways places and people were getting by.
There were some interesting things going on here, especially downtown where for a few weeks they just closed the main street and restaurants and bars just moved tons of tables into the street. We never did partake, though thought about it once or twice...
I BELIEVE that the research shows a longer and better immunity from the vaccine compared to the actual disease. I don't understand the why's but what's the harm? Maybe a second exposure as in the booster helps the immune system.
Honestly? That school should be shut down immediately!
Florida man, Florida school, no surprise....BTW, I read something ridiculous in my news feed two days ago--a private school said they would fire any teacher who got a COVID vaccination. Apparently the policy of an armchair infectious disease expert.
