Bhai one of my cousins who recently married kept on pestering us to call him & his bride for lunch, despite multiple hints like our society not allowing outsiders etc etc, we finally relented and he had to take 1+ hour train journey to reach us.

 

I had  just started losing my sense of taste & smell a day ago or else pura bill iske naam pe aa jaata coz we hardly went out and sanitize everything coming from outside.

What's the potential cause of this sudden surge in cases? Is it the new strain and people neglecting guidelines because of Holi and religious festivals? Or is there more to it?

I personally know Educated fools who were pigheaded on playimg holi. "Corona badh ra hai to badhe, doston ke saath holi to khelunga hi. Holi kyu chodunga". So yeah, no hope

I didn't question anyone 

Just made a statement 

Which I've heard a lot of doctors saying these past few days 

 

 

It is more severe this time because of the contagious rate going higher which automatically means more critical cases despite the overall critical case to infections ratio lower this time around 

I didn't even mention your name. If you think it was directed towards you then you must have said something which required justification which you are providing unasked.

Any suggestions/recommendations for a good Oxymeter guys. Pardon me, if this is already discussed in the thread.

 

Also a friend suggested to get this instead of plain oxymeter as it provides continuous monitoring via phone - https://www.oneplus.in/product/oneplus-band

Thoughts on this?

Get one from Dr. Trust.

These bands are not as accurate as a dedicated oxymeter. 

You can order directly from Dr. Trust website.

I figured so. I also know some of those people. Even some relatives saying, "Vaccine nahi lgwani chahiye" and all that jazz. Hopefully the vaccines currently in circulation are effective against the new strains. My mom got vaccinated a week ago so that's nice.

Current vaccines will require a booster shot to catter directly to new strains. Covidshield and Covaxin's 3rd booster trials have already begun but given how AZ is under fire with blood clots cases, not sure about the availability going forward.

Probably people will have to get another vaccine as well in that case, preferably mRNA one and then followed by yearly boosters (depending on how Corona mutates).

But protection being provided by current vaccines is absolutely essential as well, so should be taken as soon as possible.

My parents' 2nd dose is due in May 2nd week.

My folks are sched for the second dose next week. Idiots are already planning on travelling. Told them they can't travel till June because vaccine will take that long for full effect. Have to buy time somehow till monsoon, when I know my mom hates travelling :P.

Question to all the experts. If someone become covid positive after taking both the doses of vaccine will he still be able to spread it to other folks?

 

We don't know. Some studies say yes, but with mutated viruses running amok, I doubt we will get to know anytime soon, and hence the recommendation that you've to wear masks and maintain distance even post vaccination. 

Eventually we have to find a relation between viral load and infectivity, and how much do the vaccinations affect viral load. 

Some studies are ongoing (I guess a 12000 volunteer study in USA is the biggest).

If it’s been 45 days since the second dose & your over all health is good 

then highly unlikely 

 

As it would most likely be an asymptomatic infection 

 

 

Any infection which is symptomatic is 100% contagious 

even if it’s been 45 days since second dose 

I can't.... even.

Spits on my science degree.

 

Anyway, we don't have such data. So, you can't say this. Better is to keep taking precautions and assume that the person will be contagious.

I don’t think vaccines are claiming to stop the outward transmission from a vaccinated person.

Any vaccinated person should be considered a spreader as one non-vaccinated would be.

 

And there are cases that vaccinated people aren’t developing antibodies, I mean we are so fked in this situation.
