The Virus Outbreak Thread

My parents are both vaccinated.

@RD4590
 
Very good. Is your next appointment this week or later?
 
I have also done it, and I’m waiting for the government to confirm my application and send me a date for my appointment. I look forward for getting my vaccination travel pass at July or August.

I’m in the early stages of scheduling my vaccination appointment.

@HorsesandMuchMOAR  
i don’t have any appointment. My parents are in China and I’m in the UK. Vaccination is not available yet in my age group in the UK. And I refuse to take AstraZeneca vaccine.

I’ll get vaccinated when I get back to China.

So Los Angeles County in California has reported zero covid deaths.

Well done!

Six districts in Selangor are under lockdown. My district is in Kuala Lumpur, so it is not affected for now.

@Flutter_Lover
 
Nice, congratulations.

First dose: Arm sore and nothing else.
 
Second dose: Fatigue and frequent chills, followed by excessive teeth chattering with head pressure.

All of Kuala Lumpur is now under MCO, so no shopping malls for half of the month. And I am worried about spending months finding a freelancing job that is not so difficult or demanding a lot of time, research, or qualifications.
 
It is all because Malaysians have less regard for the virus, so they spread it everywhere. Newspapers reported that it is because many of them are fed up with lockdowns and are angry at the government for double standards (like fining a burger seller at a higher price than a celebrity whose stupid actions caused the ban on interstate travel).
 
People like them are why I am ashamed of being a Malaysian – my people are careless!

Russia has developed a single dose vaccine based on its Sputnik vaccine, known as the Sputnik Light. It has a 79.4% efficacy rate, and it is currently under trials.
 
Once it has been approved, it will be sent to places suffering from very high Covid rates.
 
It has also been shown to be effective against the new virus mutations.

@HorsesandMuchMOAR  
Praise Mother Russia!

@HorsesandMuchMOAR  
Pretty impressive. I hope they send some to India.

@Registered Anon  
And Japan and Brazil.

@Flutter_Lover  
Is Japan getting hit hard too? I knew India and Brazil were getting hit pretty hard.

@Registered Anon  
They basically have extended the state of emergency, where it’s not nearly as bas as India. Plus, I love Japan.

Got my first shot today. Arm feels a little sore now, but that’s apparently a known side effect.

@Dustcan  
Yeah, I’ve gotten that with other shots before. It’s usually why I get my shot in my right arm, since I write left handed.

@Registered Anon
 
Russia has approved the Sputnik Light vaccine, and is planning to manufacture it in India.
 
So the answer is “YES”.

@HorsesandMuchMOAR  
Cool. It sounds like an impressive piece of work. Giving some to India seemed like the best course of action right now but being able to make it right over there is even better.

@Registered Anon  
Know what’s even better? It’s even effective with the new mutations!

Malaysia now has 4498 cases today. People on twitter said that it’s due to workplaces being crowded like sardines.
 
Should I become more angry at the stupid leaders and people of my country?
