Hospitals may not be safe

My friends son-in-law got Covid quite bad before Christmas - he was fully vaccinated too.
It's not just the unvaccinated that can get it AND pass it on.

Son was diagnosed on Christmas Eve, grandson 2 days after, both fully vaxed.

"Respect" has nothing to do with anything.


...and if it's on the internet it must be true. :LOL: I value what I see and hear in person a lot more than random Google search results.

Final word: Institutions of all kinds are a cross contamination nightmares, the public and staff spread bio-hazards as they travel through the building. The cleaning crew is the last line of defense, how well they do their jobs determines the threat level of transmitted sickness through surface contact.

For the past six months or so I've been feeling kind of achy and sore. I attributed it to old age, but it just occurred to me that maybe it's related to the vaccinations. I'm hoping that's the case. If it's old age, it's just going to get worse.

Aches and pains seem to be just part of the process of growing older....the old body eventually begins to wear out. A couple of years ago, I had trouble sleeping for more than 3 or 4 hours, before I would wake up with some leg/hip pain. Our mattress is quite firm, so we put a memory foam topper on it, and the results were almost immediate. Now, if the bladder cooperates, I can usually get a full nights good sleep.

The best a person can do is to try to "adapt" to age, and take steps to alleviate the symptoms....lifestyle changes, taking supplements, etc. The alternative is filling the calendar with doctor visits.
 

In many respects hospitals never were 'safe'. Things like staff infections, merca and some other stufff hospitals are not the place to be for any length of time.

I heard doctors say they wanted patients discharged asap just to avoid infections. Some patients like the fact they're being waited on, served food and have medical personnel down the hall but it doesn't mean squat if they catch something. Also everyday laying down in bed is like 3 days ofinactivity.

Sounds like that infection might have been in the patient in the op and the 'shock' to the immune system from surgery the body pulled it's resources from a germ fight to a recovery fight.
