My condolences to you and your family.  I can unfortunately relate... my brother passed away on Sunday (some may remember him from here & the old OB forum as Taynted_Fayth) so we're also trying to

I am a teacher and also immunocompromised. I got my first shot this week. It was neither being a teacher, nor having an autoimmune disease that qualified me to be vaccinated. My autoimmune condition p

So would I- I am up to some 150 donations but cannot due to the meds I am on now.

150, that's a sweet number. 96 for me - I hope to reach 100 in early 2023 

I met a fellow who had donated blood over 400 times - he was in his 80s.

Anyone know where I can get testing kits? My son tested positive on Tuesday and we are down to our last 2 tests now.

Have you tried the local pharmacies? I got mine at Co-op (grocery) on Grant. At the time, they had tons.

Pay attention to your symptoms as the antigen tests are no better than 50% reliable. If you are symptom free for three consecutive days, you can safely assume you are over it. As as been reported, you can still be re-infected, though.

I was at Pembina Trails library this afternoon and they had a sign that said the libraries had them too. Best call first, I bet.

Well, Friday night, my littlest tested positive for Covid and the rest of the family has gotten it too. He got it pretty bad but it passed quickly  Luckily, my older son and wife recently got boosters, so they haven't had it too bad. 

It's completely knocked me on my butt. The worst head cold you could imagine and now, headaches, nausea and back pain. 

My oldest and I were supposed to run out of the tunnel, ahead of the players this week. That's a no-go. 

This will be the first home game I've missed in ages.

Jeff - so incredibly sorry to hear all of this, but getting healthy again is the most important thing. Opportunities with WBB will arise again one day. Sending lots of positive vibes your way!! 

👊

WBB has already offered to swap with another game. First class.

Moderna Sues Pfizer Over Patents Behind COVID-19 Vaccine

COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna is suing Pfizer and the German drugmaker BioNTech, accusing its main competitors of copying Moderna’s technology in order to make their own vaccine.

Moderna said Friday that Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine Comirnaty infringes on patents Moderna filed several years ago protecting the technology behind its preventive shot, Spikevax. The company filed patent infringement lawsuits in both U.S. federal court and a German court.
A Pfizer spokeswoman declined to comment, saying the company had not been served with a copy of the litigation.

Moderna and Pfizer’s two-shot vaccines both use mRNA technology to help patients fight the coronavirus.

The mRNA vaccines work by injecting a genetic code for the spike protein that coats the surface of the coronavirus. That code, the mRNA, is encased in a little ball of fat, and instructs the body’s cells to make some harmless spike copies that train the immune system to recognize the real virus.

Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said in a prepared statement that the vaccine developer pioneered that technology and invested billions of dollars in creating it.
The company said it believes its rivals’ vaccine infringes on patents Moderna filed between 2010 and 2016
