So here's my covid story. Wife was vax in January (she works at erlanger) I was vexed 6 weeks ago today (j&j).wife got what seemed like a cold Thursday night, Friday morning still coughing so she stayed home, but no fever and no breathing issues. Wifes boss calls her around noon Friday and states she just tested positive(boss is also vaxed). Wife goes to get tested and it comes back negative even though they both have same symptoms. So my thought is one result is wrong. I get home test from CVS and the wife is positive and I'm negative. And I'm negative Saturday and Sunday with zero symptoms. Wake up this moring with a sore throat...positive. went and got a rapid test at Erlanger Express to make sure. Positve. Now I'm home for 10 days. My symptoms are sore throat, slight cough, stuffy nose and tired. No fever and oxygen levels are good.

If not for covid being here I would have thought sinus issues.

My dad was all sinus too. He called me today and sounds normal again! Thank the Lord!

It would be very hard to guess based on just the info in the article. Many people, either due to symptom severity or length of time since the onset of symptoms, are not candidates for antibody therapy.

If it was more readily available and advertised like the vaccine, a lot of people would probably make use of the antibodies. Also why is there not a national emergency declaration to ramp up production to make this available to anyone wanting it.

Again, “wanting” and “being eligible for” are not the same thing. If you don’t have an active COVID infection, you don’t need the antibody infusion, but I will agree that it needs to be more readily available regardless.

Eligibility, right now, is being used due the lack od availability. There is no excuse for this except for political reasons or total incompetence of our leaders. I can never forgive our current "leaders" or their supporters, not that they .care

Could be true on local levels, depending on location, positivity rate, etc. You got any data to support that, or just espousing an opinion?

No hard data that I have time to pull up. However, we have two pretty good hospitals within 35 miles of one another that don’t/won't offer the treatment. There is a hospital about an hour out that offers the treatment but they limit the number of treatments due to lack of supply.
Neighbor got covid and wanted to have the antibodies, had to drive 3 hours away for treatment.

That is unfortunate and should be unnecessary. My hospital does offer it, but only on certain days of the week and it’s scheduled like an outpatient infusion, but I haven’t heard of people being declined here due to lack of supply.

It is more readily available and advertised in FL. I know of a few who have gotten it and recovered nicely. Punitive rationing should lead to criminal charges

We found out you just have to know where to call.

I honestly expect that nearly everyone will end up catching this thing, vaccinated or otherwise. Even under that senecio the vaccinated do much better than the unvaccinated.

That pretty much nails it, IMO. It’s so contagious that eventually everyone will catch it, but the vaccine is the best measure against it in the meantime to mitigate symptom severity to where eventually, it’s shrugged off by everyone like the common cold.
