The Number of "Rare" Breakthrough COVID Cases, Now Includes Me

[JoeOtterbein]

Yep, first I was notified that I had been exposed to someone who was infected. So I received a test last Tuesday, and late last Friday night I was notified that I was indeed positive for COVID.

Despite being fully vaccinated, wearing masks, staying out of the air-space of others I still got infected

I've been much too angry to write anything about it until now. And I'm fairly certain I know who the unvaccinated idiot, who infected me, was.

All leading me to an anger I've rarely felt in my life. An anger I hope that I, and my babies and their babies, will never feel again.

I'm going for the antibody infusion tomorrow, so I'll likely be safe to be angry for many years yet to come.

Please stay extra safe everyone. Even if you have been as safe as I have been.

[marble falls]

1. Duuuuude! Take care!

[JoeOtterbein]

11. Thanks!

I will.

[PoliticAverse]

2. Best wishes to you! n/t

[JoeOtterbein]

12. Thanks! nt

[LetMyPeopleVote]

3. Get well

Monoclonal antibodies are very effective

[JoeOtterbein]

14. I will be.

But still angry!

[dweller]

4. Did you have any symptoms?

My 98 yr old dad tested positive 9/15, had Covid pneumonia and today tested negative finally !!
He said he never felt any symptoms but he is elderly and infirm with many other complicating factors, so when he says he didn’t feel sick, I think he just didn’t notice … he was treated with remdesiriv
Hope you feel better soon

✌🏻

[JoeOtterbein]

15. Yea, I...

...feel like I have the flu. Like s...!

[bluewater]

45. Damn. Get well soon, mate.

[orleans]

53. i'm glad your dad is doing good on the covid front and tested negative. nt

[dweller]

56. Thanks

He was double vaxxed, and survived covid … at 98yo 😃
He’s invincible so far

✌🏻

[SilverDawg]

73. That IS invincible AND Amazing!

My mom was vaccinated and is 98 years old. She tested positive for COVID in September and is negative and doing well today. We described her as AMAZING.

Glad your dad is doing well.

[dweller]

74. Proving once again

They are the greatest generation
Glad your mom is well

✌🏻

[lostnfound]

95. Glad he recovered. The elderly can be precious gems

To those of us lucky to keep the, around for a while.

[Ms. Toad]

5. Sorry!

Keep in mind, though, it might also have been someone vaccinated who exposed you. Most of the recent exposures I've had have been by vaccinated people who believed themselves immune, so they were circulating when they had a "cold," "allergies," or a "headache."

This thing is such a mimic that it is hard to tell whether it's COVID, or the real deal cold, allergies, or headache.

I just engaged in verbal fisticuffs with one of my students who wanted to come to class with symptoms consistent with COVID. She was pretty pissed with me for elevating concerns about COVID over her emotional needs - and her need to attend class.

Good luck with the antibody infusion. Hope you get over it as quickly as my fellow (vaccinated) workers did.

[JoeOtterbein]

18. Good point, but...

...I can't say how I know for liability reasons, because I'm never anonymous, but I do.

[Ms. Toad]

22. I know exactly who has exposed me, as well.

Sometimes it helps to have assisted the scholl contact tracers early on, when they were being lied to by infected idiots. So sometimes I know things I'm not supposed to know.

Fortunatley, none of my exposures have matured into COVID. They've just been very inconvenient while I try to take steps to protect others - in case I have been infected.

[JoeOtterbein]

31. Very smart.

To stay safe.

[underpants]

6. Best wishes Joe

[JoeOtterbein]

20. Thanks!

Everyone is being so kind. I love it!

[emulatorloo]

7. Joe, please take very good care of yourself

Sending good wishes to you, hope the antibody infusion goes great.

[JoeOtterbein]

21. I'm sure it will and...

...I'll be back in form soon! Thanks!

[NewHendoLib]

16. sorry to see you keep showing up here.

[marble falls]

24. And she'll be back and Mirt will escort her out. This is about the hundredth time I know about ...

... in the 12 or so years, I've been here. A lot of times, she's taken down so quick, you'd never even know it happened.

[NewHendoLib]

28. far more than 100 times - In my years of modding and MIRT, I think I've seen 400-500 of her

worthless accounts and pathetic attempts to get in here.

[wnylib]

51. The same person each time?

Just curious. How do you know it's the same person? (I didn't even see the post.)

[Ms. Toad]

52. There are multipe chronic trolls

Each has their own tell/mo. When you're on MIRT and see them come in you learn the patterns.

[wnylib]

59. Oh. Well MIRT works fast at least.

The only thing I ever see is the message that the post and name were removed.

[NewHendoLib]

81. MIRT really takes the job seriously - trolls don't stand a chance to stick around

for long unless they are clever and subtle for a bit - but they eventually always unmask. They can't help it!

[NewHendoLib]

57. it is someone we call Library Girl. She is easy to spot - rotates a particular set of

name types and avatars, is attracted to particular types of posts.

She is utterly unhinged and has been a pest here since before I joined in 2004!

[obamanut2012]

82. Was it Librarygirl?

[NewHendoLib]

98. yup

[niyad]

50. Darn, I keep missing this twit. MIRT is FAST!

From your further post, though, I take it that I have probably seen her often?

[NewHendoLib]

58. lately, she is rabidly antivaxx.

[LisaM]

79. Ahhh

I got a jury notice the other day -must have been her. The post was so crazy at first I thought it was sarcasm. (But I voted to remove it).

[NewHendoLib]

80. she's often gone off the rails through her years here -

but the COVID thing seems to have really cooked her synapses

[ShazzieB]

97. Yes, covid has definitely gotten to her.

Last edited Thu Oct 7, 2021, 01:15 AM - Edit history (1)

After only one term on MIRT, I can spot her antivaxx posts a mile away. They have a unique flavor, use certain key verbiage, and evince a degree of hostility that's rarely seen on DU.

Most of us here at least try to obey the rules about civility the majority of the time, so when someone roars in spewing venom in their first post or two, it tends to stand out.

[msongs]

9. take it easy and safe nt

[JoeOtterbein]

25. Thanks! nt

[cadoman]

10. thank you for sharing your experience and sorry that unvaccinated idiot got you sick

You can literally do everything perfectly but the unvaccinated will always be the gaps in our armor.

Hope the infusion and vaccines help you to have a relatively light COVID. Stay safe!

[JoeOtterbein]

26. Thanks! I felt I had to post, but it took me a few days to...

...cool off enough to write about it somewhat rationally.

[Murphyb849]

13. Prayers for a quick and complete recovery ❤️

[JoeOtterbein]

27. Thank you!

I will!

[Lisa0825]

17. Same thing happened for me last month.

Since I had no symptoms, I did not get the infusion, but I was positive, so I quarantined for 2 weeks.

[JoeOtterbein]

32. Just being positive is...

...scary enough.

[Lisa0825]

35. Yes, and my biggest fear was spreading it, so I hunkered down. nt

[Carlitos Brigante]

19. FUCK! Now you too?! Take care brother. Can't do much, but send you good vibes. nt

[JoeOtterbein]

33. Thanks!

I need the vibes!

[MiniMe]

23. How are you feeling?

Take care, hope you are feeling not too sick

[JoeOtterbein]

36. Just yucky with body aches, chills and a rash, not too bad. Just...

...like a bad flu with a rash.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

29. That sucks! I hope you feel better soon.

Yeah, I was just talking with my partner about re-doubling our efforts and being extra careful.

We were in a fairly crowded breakfast place in Michigan last weekend. No masks except for us and a couple staff members. When we walked out we both looked at each other and said “well that was a dumb idea”

No more eating at restaurants for the foreseeable future.

[JoeOtterbein]

39. Thanks!

Another thing I have not done since Feb 2020 is eat inside a restaurant. It's a smart thing to stay away. It's just not worth it for me! And I still work in the food biz and have been inside some food facilities for work since the pandemic began. I always wore a mask and elbow bumps only.

[Mariana]

30. My mother couldn't get the surgery she needed for months

because the hospitals were jammed up with unvaccinated assholes. It wasn't life-saving surgery, but she was suffering debilitating pain from a cyst that was pressing on a nerve at her spine. She finally had the procedure last week and poof! The pain is gone. It should have been gone back in July when when she was first diagnosed. She's 79, and while she's generally healthy and strong, she's not going to bounce back from being laid up all that time as easily as a younger person would.

I feel your rage.

[JoeOtterbein]

40. I feel your...

...pain and rage too. I hope your Mom is safe soon.

[MustLoveBeagles]

41. I'm glad your mom finally got the surgery she needed

It's horrible she had to suffer for months because of selfish and stupid people.

[Demsrule86]

34. Feel better! Honestly what is wrong with those who won't get vaccinated? They are a threat

Last edited Wed Oct 6, 2021, 01:20 PM - Edit history (1)

to everyone.

[JoeOtterbein]

85. Thanks!

Yes, they are a threat.

[orangecrush]

37. Please fight and beat this

We need you!

[JoeOtterbein]

86. Thanks!

You are super nice!

[orangecrush]

145. Thanks, Joe!

[MustLoveBeagles]

38. Get well soon

I'm sorry you got this. I hope the antibody infusion works. Take care of yourself.

[JoeOtterbein]

87. Thanks!

I will!

[LeftInTX]

42. My daughter, although she wasn't being very cautious

This was before delta got real bad. She caught it the weekend of July 17-18th in Las Vegas, where she vacationed with her husband and some of his family members. This was a week after the Texas Dems up in DC started coming down with it.

[JoeOtterbein]

88. Sorry...

...I hope she is ok.

[LeftInTX]

96. She was fine with minmal symptoms.

She had to contact her clients and let them know. She's an Occupational Therapist and works with special needs kids. Fortunately, none of them caught Covid..That was her main concern.

Then she found out she was pregnant too, but I highly doubt Covid will cause harm. She had a mild case.

[JoeOtterbein]

109. Whew!

That's good. I'm so worried about everyone who has been around me lately.

[MLAA]

43. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

[JoeOtterbein]

89. Thanks! nt

[louslobbs]

44. Wow Joe, sorry to hear this. I totally get your anger

too. What you are dealing with has been my greatest fear. Wishing you well my friend.

[JoeOtterbein]

90. Thanks!

And again for understanding.

[niyad]

46. Sending vibes for healing and strength, a speedy and complete recovery.

[JoeOtterbein]

92. Thanks! nt

[George II]

47. Sounds like you're on top of this and will come out okay - that's great! I understand your anger....

This will NOT be over until it's completely over. Period.

Take care of yourself.

[JoeOtterbein]

110. Thanks!

And thanks for understanding.

[FakeNoose]

48. Luckily you got early notice, and you're able to get the antibody treatment

That's a blessing, even though the rest of it isn't.

Good luck and stay positive my friend. You're going to beat this!

[JoeOtterbein]

111. Yep!

Done earlier today! I feel a bit better already and the rash is going away quick!

[Nevilledog]

49. I'm angry for you.

Please keep us updated.

[JoeOtterbein]

112. Thanks!

I will! Everyone has been wonderful!

[canetoad]

54. Dammit Joe!

I don't blame you for being angry. Take good care of yourself and please keep us updated.

[JoeOtterbein]

113. Thanks!

I will!

[RockRaven]

55. I'm sorry. Get well soon. My aunt and uncle also just joined the ranks of breakthrough cases.

Admittedly they took a knowing risk -- after a year and a half of hypervigilance/masking/working from home/vaccination/etc -- and it bit them in the ass.

They had an adult child hit a big career milestone and so went to said cousin's favorite restaurant to celebrate. That was all it took. None of the other family/friends (only a handful were there) tested positive, so it was probably someone at the restaurant. The first time in 18 months they ate a meal in public and they both get breakthrough infections.

Fortunately they avoided hospitalization (as expected with vaccination) and recovered -- except one of them lost their sense of smell and it is not yet returned.

Be as careful as you can manage, everyone, because you're never not at some risk.

[JoeOtterbein]

114. Thanks!

And wow! And you are right about risk, it's not worth it to go out, or inside sometimes. Even with masks stc.

[spanone]

60. My son and his wife both had breakthrough cases.

You will recover quickly

Stay strong

[JoeOtterbein]

115. Wow!

And thanks!

[blogslug]

61. Heal fast

Hugs to you

[JoeOtterbein]

116. Thanks!

I need them!

[SheltieLover]

62. Good luck with the antibody treatment!

Get well soon! Healing vibes on the way to you. 💓💓💓

[JoeOtterbein]

117. Thanks!

I can use all the vibes I can get!

[Rhiannon12866]

63. Oh, I am so sorry!

And just at the time you have reason to celebrate. I sure don't blame you for feeling angry, it boggles the mind after all we know now that these irresponsible individuals choose to be so careless, stubborn and selfish. Take care of yourself and feel better soon...

[JoeOtterbein]

118. Thanks!

And thanks for helping me catch up on the news I've missed again!

Bernie is on Rachel now!

[Rhiannon12866]

123. And I already posted the video of what he said today

Which Rachel showed before the live interview - which I will be on the lookout for...

And I hope that you're feeling okay. Just take it easy and get plenty of rest. You know that you can always catch up on the news right here.

[JoeOtterbein]

147. BERNIE! was...

...great tonight! I've been busy thanking all of the great peeps tonight.

And so are super great and cool. The perfect combo

I'm feeling so grateful for all the best wishes, I know I will get better soon!

[Rhiannon12866]

164. Here's his appearance with Rachel

Thought he was excellent, as always. Hope you're feeling much better! DUers are sure sending you those powerful healing DU vibes...

[NJCher]

64. Really sorry to hear this, Joe

I think the antibody infusion will have you feeling better and soon, too.

I will light some white candles on your behalf tomorrow.

A night or two ago I was reading on the NY Times Covid update page and they recounted the degree to which the Pfizer vaccine loses its effectiveness. Also the Johnson one. I was pretty surprised to see some of the figures--I mean, down to something like 59% after four months? Not sure of my figures and I did try to check the tory but couldn't find it. The overall message I'm trying to get out is that the vaccines do leave their effectiveness, so:

a) continue being super careful

b) get a booster if you can.

[JoeOtterbein]

120. Thanks!

After the infusion today, I can't get the Pfizer for 90 days. I do feel a bit better!

[NJCher]

135. that (the Pfizer stuff) was actually directed

to all the readers on the page. Yeah, I know you can't get the vaccine for quite a while after the infusion.

I'm glad you got it as planned. I hope you'll keep us informed on how you're feeling.

[JoeOtterbein]

146. Thanks again and...

...I plan on posting again soon!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

65. So sorry.

I'm fully vaccinated, am annoyingly healthy at all times, and have the good fortune to live in Santa Fe, NM, where people are VERY good about masking. This past weekend I was in Denver for a science fiction thing called MileHiCon. Everyone was diligently masked, other than in the restaurant/bar. Science fiction people are good at science, which helps.

I'm 73 years old, and while I am, as I said above, incredibly healthy, I certainly hope I don't get a break-through infection, although if I have that misfortune, I will probably do just fine, given my basic level of good health.

I don't blame you for being so angry. It seems like an appropriate response to what's happened to you.

[JoeOtterbein]

121. Thanks!

My wife works in catering. We are so worried, but she tested negative yesterday. So good for now.

[SunSeeker]

66. I went to get my Pfizer Booster this week. Had to stand near a maskless idiot who was sneezing.

Now I'm counting the days to see if I develop symptoms.

I fucking hate these people.

Hope you don't develop any issues. Good luck.

[JoeOtterbein]

122. Jeeze...

I hope you will be ok.

And thanks!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

153. Hey SS. Jeez I did the exact same thing. CVS

And there was this guy just sitting there saying he was there for a second shot. No freaking mask. And he was telling somebody about how he was coughing and all this shit. I finally went up to him, well not really, was about 20 ft away, and said you are making me super nervous that you are not wearing a mask. And he just said sorry, like oblivious.

When it was my turn, I told the nurse who gave me the injection. She was like ho hum. "We can suggest but we can't force anywhere to wear a mask" and I wanted to say geez even people getting vaccinations? But she seemed so disinterested I kept it to myself.

JHC if CVS can't tell anyone who the hell can? CVS must have the most uncaring super stupid fucking management ever.

[SunSeeker]

155. The last few years have made me hate about 30% of Americans.

Including that idiot at CVS.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

156. Me too ! But it's not the fringes it's the middle of the road people

Who are so oblivious and so uncaring and so ignorant.

700,000+ people died. Hello!!!!!!!!!

[crimycarny]

67. Is antibody infusion a standard thing now?

I thought you had to be hospitalized for some reason to get the antibody infusion, though I'm not sure why I got the impression. Asking because if I get a breakthrough case I want to ask my doctor for an antibody infusion. (I assume we're talking Regeneron).

My vaccination was way back in February and I'm not eligible for a booster yet.

Hope you feel well soon.

[JoeOtterbein]

124. No...

...just if you are having symptoms. Yes Regeneron.

And thanks!

[crimycarny]

149. Thanks

My sister had a breakthrough case of COVID as well. She was sick for about 10 days. Fever, aches, congestion--no cough or difficulty breathing thankfully. I never thought to tell her she should ask her doctor about Regeneron. Nice to know, thank you.

Hope you're feeling better already!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

154. You're right. I researched all of this when my in-laws got it,

Maybe a month ago? No one here in TX, don't know about anywhere else, is following the guidelines by CDC. I wrote every single treatment down. Most all of them, I swear, are only recommended for those with super serious cases and who are hospitalized. It is a free-for-all here. It's like they're throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.

That may be a good or bad. But it obviously shows that CDC is behind the ball.

[Chinama]

68. I hope you get well soon, but 1 question

Isn't the reason we all got vaxxed so that we could go back to normal? I've been without a mask since vaccinating for months, it's why I got it. I thought if you had the vaccine you were protected and the non-vaccinated were the ones in trouble.

Pardon my ignorance on the subject.

[Crunchy Frog]

94. No vaccine provides absolute protection, which is why high vax rates are important in

developing herd immunity. This vax did a quite good job of protecting against infection with the previous variants, but seems to be less effective against the Delta variant. It still dramatically reduces the likelihood of severe infection, hospitalization, and death.

It isn't perfect, but at the moment, it's the best we've got.

Also, there's no reason for you to be ignorant. There's lots of good educational materials out there, just avoid FaceBook memes and fringe conspiracy nuts.

[JoeOtterbein]

125. Thanks!

The nurse today said the delta variant is really bad here in SC-PA. The hospitals are packed because it can break through easily.

[dem in texas]

69. You are lucky, you survived.

My sister-in-law passed away 4 weeks ago. She also had a break through case. She had both vaccinations and was so careful always wore her mask, stayed home as much as possible.

I too, feel so much anger towards the stupid un-vaccinated crowd.

We lost a great lady.

[JoeOtterbein]

126. I'm sorry.

You are right. I'm still here.

[Wingus Dingus]

70. That sucks. I hope you get over it quick, and then you'll

have immunity from the Delta variant, at least.

[JoeOtterbein]

127. Thanks and...

...good point.

[Laurelin]

71. Get well soon!

Don't forget to rest, drink, take your vitamins...

[JoeOtterbein]

128. Thanks!

I just popped a multi-vitamin because of your reminder!

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

72. Seems no matter how hard we try to stay safe, we are still at risk

of being infected by a covidiot in any public setting.

Get well soon, Joe.

[JoeOtterbein]

129. Yep and...

...thanks!

[progressoid]

75. Damn Joe.

Keep us up to date. We're pulling for you!

[JoeOtterbein]

130. Thanks and...

...I will!

[GB_RN]

76. Almost 11000 Breakthrough Cases In NC...

And of those, only 200-some are among the vaccinated. Read that again (was on the local news last night).

This flies straight in the face of Porn Perm Rand Paul’s (R-Idiot Eye Doc) assertion that if you’ve had COVID that you don’t need the vaccine. Porn Perm Paul needs to quit trying to give medical advice…

[TimeToGo]

99. I'm confused

11000 breakthrough cases but only 200 were vaccinated. Don’t they know that means that 10800 were not breakthrough cases but cases?

[GB_RN]

100. The Story Language Is Imprecise, Yes...

But, what is means is that those were people who had COVID before, but got it again. That means that natural immunity isn’t as good as the vaccine.

They should have said those people were “reinfected”, and not called them all “breakthrough infections”, but I suspect they went with that for simplicity’s sake.

[TimeToGo]

104. Got it Thanks

That's a very different thing. They need to be more careful.

[JoeOtterbein]

131. Thanks for the info...

...makes sense to me.

[calimary]

77. Damn! I'd be angry too!

But then jerks like the anti-vaxxers and trump-humpers tend to keep me feeling that way.

Get better SOON! We need you!

[JoeOtterbein]

132. Thanks!

I feel a bit better already!

[pandr32]

78. Sorry to hear

Wishes from Hawaii for you to get over it soon.

[JoeOtterbein]

133. Thanks!

I will be!

BTW, I can't wait to go back to the Big Island soon too!

[malaise]

83. Take care

[JoeOtterbein]

134. Thanks!

I will!

[Wild blueberry]

84. All the best to you

Thank you for your righteous fury and for letting us know. Be well.

[JoeOtterbein]

136. Thanks!

And for understanding!

[BigmanPigman]

91. Oh man, that sucks for you

and the rest of us who are vaxxed and careful. The holidays will be interesting.

[JoeOtterbein]

137. Thanks!

Yep. I hope everyone is careful.

[ananda]

93. Let us know how you progress.

Best wishes for a good outcome.

[JoeOtterbein]

138. Thanks!

I'll get back to all soon!

[JoanofArgh]

101. Feel better soon, JoeOtterbein.

We'll be thinking about you. Please keep us updated on how you're doing.

[JoeOtterbein]

139. Thanks!

I can't wait to post progress. Everyone here has been super-duper nice!

[struggle4progress]

102. I'm sorry to hear that! Take care of yourself! And get better soon!

[JoeOtterbein]

140. Thanks!

I will!

[Uncle Joe]

105. Take care Joe

As for someone that believes anger/stress generally aren't good for healing, my best advice is try to release it.

[JoeOtterbein]

141. Thanks!

And, once again, you are 100% right!

[ShazzieB]

106. "Rare" breakthrough cases, my ass.

Sorry to hear your news, Joe, and I wish the speediest and most complete recovery possible.

I'm starting to feel very skeptical about the idea that breakthrough cases are rare. Maybe they were originally, but delta seems to have changed things.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

108. Yup. And many not hospitalized and take home tests so

Aren't counted in stats

[JoeOtterbein]

142. Yep!

That is in short, what the nurse at the infusion center said earlier today. The delta is the problem and "breakthroughs" are not rare.

Stay safe too!

[ShazzieB]

152. Delta caught everybody by surprise.

It's definitely a different beast from the earlier forms of covid.

I am doing my best to stay safe, including getting my booster shot a few days from now!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

157. But there also is zero data on any of it. So the rest

Of us lucky ones have zero to go on to protect ourselves and our loved ones.

[JoeOtterbein]

160. Good move!

I have to wait until January to get mine now after the antibody infusion.

[greenjar_01]

162. "I'm starting to feel very skeptical..."

Do you FEEEEEEEL it in your gut?

Truthiness!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

107. Well wishes Joe. You actually got it through mask and

Vaccination and distance from the infected person ??? Wow that person must have been super loaded. Was it indoors? How much time were you near that person?

Hope that's not asking too much. It just strikes me that we still don't know enough. My vaccinated in-laws got it but they pretty much know it was cuz they didn't have a mask on and they were inside a truck with an infected person. That was before we were told that we weren't safe with just the vaccination

[JoeOtterbein]

143. I'll just say that I think I got infected in a place...

...I thought was safe.

And thanks!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

165. Why the mystery?

[electric_blue68]

119. Aww, shoot! Here's to a FULL Recovery, NO Left Over Effects!

[JoeOtterbein]

144. Thanks!

Stay safe everyone!

[gldstwmn]

148. Get well soon.

[JoeOtterbein]

150. Thanks! nt

[JoeOtterbein]

159. Thanks! nt

[SKKY]

151. My wife and I (Moderna vaccinated) both tested positive last Saturday...

...but didn't get the results "'Til Tuesday" (Pun intended). We no doubt got it from our youngster, who tested positive the previous Thursday. And we're 100% certain he got it at school. Basically, this has been like a fairly mild head cold. We both lost our senses of smell, and my wife lost her sense of taste. I still have mine but it's sorta muted. I can still taste things, but they're fairly bland.

We're both doing well, and our teenager, who was vaccinated with Pfizer, has remained negative. So, yea, I didn't get vaccinated thinking it would keep me from getting COVID. I got vaccinated so it would keep me, and us, from dying from it. So far, so good.

158. Time to demand antibody infusion before they send you the results.

Then if (I hope not) positive, it should be easy to set up. it was easy here in York, PA for me. I hope it helps for you too.

Take care.
