The vaccine makers have indicated they expect them to work on all of the variants identified so far.

Hope Mathjak is okay. Glad you are recovering, Op.

I guess I don’t know that many people in real life and/or know super cautious types, so I only knew of people who were friends of friends, but I finally do know one. She is only 52. Perfectly healthy. Very fit. She was my yoga and water aerobics instructor. Had to be hospitalized for days with 102 nonstop fever. Not eating. Heart rate dropping to 30. She said she almost died. She is now home..says she is maybe at 60 percent. Sh3 does know exactly where sh3 got it...went to visit friends and one was unknowingly exposed tg3 day before, so they all got it.

So scary! Stay safe, everyone!

That would be a great relief. I did think the South African variant was yet another variant. But then, the CNN crawl said something about it "effecting" rather than "affecting" so my trust in their info plummeted, if they can't spell correctly.

Well, the crawl is transcribed in real time, and I do not know whether voice recognition is used, so there is that.

It would take a lot to generate a variant that would escape the vaccines, it appears.

I have been tested, and I am not D deficient. I do not take vit D either.

I don't really understand how people can doubt Vitamin D at this point.

Here is a meta analysis... I.e. a study of the studies, that came out on November 4th.

Quote:
In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we analyze the association between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 severity, via an analysis of the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in people with the disease. Five online databases—Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and pre-print Medrevix were searched. We identified 1542 articles and selected 27... but we identified that severe cases of COVID-19 present . . . more vitamin D deficiency compared with mild cases. A vitamin D concentration insufficiency increased hospitalization . . . and mortality from COVID-19. We observed a positive association between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of the disease.

Are you sure the crawl is real time? I used to work in captioning and the captions if visible are real time and from stenography or voice recognition (and accordingly garbled, quite often) but the crawl is not, as far as I know.

I will defer to your knowledge.
