Chuck,
I wanted to share this with you and ask if a mild rash around the injection site is fairly common?
My wife and I received our 2nd Moderna injection, Friday morning. We're both in our early seventies. Other than temporary soreness at the injection site, she had no complications. I had the same injection site soreness as well as soreness everywhere else I have my normal aches & pains, but more so. Fatique and zero motivation other than to take a nap for most of Saturday afternoon. Today I feel fine, but noticed the rash. I enhanced the picture a little... noticeable in the mirror, not so much in a photo.
Thanks. Glad you're doing better.

I forgot to mention in my original posting (#3,481) that along with the fatigue & aches, I ran a mild fever, ~1.5 degrees above my normal temp... also gone.

You could have a cellulitis or just a local reaction to the immunization. I would make a call to you PCM/PCP tomorrow. Unless you spike a fever and feel ill, it can wait till then.

Roger That.
We've got "online" connectivity with our PCP.
Thanks for the suggestion. Hope you can add the reaction to the "database".
 
It will be added by your PCM and thanks for adding it to my personal expereince. It will be something I would like to know what your PCM decides to do. I learn form every case. It is probably just a normal local reaction, but there is no reason to tempt fate.
 
Are there any current studies released about the post-covid cardiomyopathy? I have seen a few cases, one in particular recovered from a sudden arrest with ROSC from first responders who called us. The receiving cardiologist was very quick to rule out other causes. This patient had mild covid several months prior and had a recovery plan managed by their php at the time of the incident.

The Army is working on one. We had to act quicily because the risk to AD was high with return to exercise. Currently, we are put AD at risk on a limitation profile based on symptoms..
 
A close friend/RC flying buddy who is a GP doc has some cardiomyopathy derived from his COVID 19 illness back in Nov.

I am still showing signs of improvement in my post Covid 19 fatigue a bit over 5 months after my COVID infection was “over”, but I still see a visit to my cardiologist in the near future.

If you have symptoms post covid, get seen.

Tom,

I hope to have your nose cones. I will add the ones I messed up for you to mess with.

I built a dual deployment version on my 3D-printed 35mm rocket. I also upscaled it to 42, 2 inches, and 3 inches. I will build them as dual deployment in the next couple of months.
 
News articles are coming out w/ large Covid19 spkies. As much as 5x more than a month ago. Most of the surge due to children under 19yo.
Coinciding w/ opening of schools and sports.

Most of the schools here have been open 4-5 days a week for awhile, with no surge.
Perhaps those states dont have a very good plan ?

Or just the effect of Spring Break gatherings (similar to post-Thanksgiving and post-Xmas spikes in 4Q'20).
4th of July spike will be next, same as the last year.

1918-1919 Influenza multi-wave lifecycle (sadly) makes perfect sense now.

I'll bring 4 little rockets without nose cones. They are powered by F size D grain motors. The dual deploy printed rockets should be fun :)I have a couple others I'll bring also.

Would you like to try a 3D printed fin can?
 
Let me know. I will print the first couple just to test them.
 
Chuck, are we seeing any reinfections of people in U.S. that haven’t been vaccinated but have had documented Covid wild type infection, I.e. failures of acquired immunity to wild-type virus from variants like the Brazilian strain?

Hope the break was refreshing! I got my first Pfizer shot today, so hopefully I'll be able to visit a ROSCO/ICBM launch again in a month! Looking forward to it.

I read an article about the mRNA vaccine concept and it was educational, but I have a simple question based on what a person who isn't going to get vaccinated said he believes. He said that the mRNA 'stuff' that gets injected stays in your body forever. I thought it would break-down and eventually get flushed out of the body like other 'stuff' inside of us. Is he correct or is this a common misconception?

mRNA vaccines:
  1. Are translated into a protein to create an immune response.
  2. Are rapidly degraded broken down into nucleic acids (base parts of RNA and DNA) and are no longer active.
  3. They do not and will not change your body in any way other than to produce immunity.

That being said, you can have an adverse reaction to include allergies to red skittles, it is possible for someone to have one to mRNA vaccines also. That is meant to humorous and not diminishing your friend's concerns.

We look forward to seeing you at a launch.
 
Chuck,
If you remember, I had Covid last August. I'm trying to get the vaccine, but am having trouble getting an appointment for the Moderna or Pfizer ones. I think I can get the J&J single shot, seems to be plenty of those available. Should I wait for the dual dose, or get the J&J?
