– CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION of the questions from “Joey Pals”.
1. QUESTION from KGX’s Garry; What is the “swiss cheese” model of treating COVID-19?
2. Why are the ICU beds so full and almost no flu patients. (Weak flu this year).
3. If you take OTC ibuprofen or acetaminophen, had a bad nights’ sleep or drink should you get the vaccine? (Yes, perhaps not to if you are pregnant. If you’ve HAD COVID-19 you don’t have to wait to get the vaccine, because we now have the supply available).
4. Can you spread the virus IF you have the vaccine? (Since there is NO virus in the vaccine, no).
5. After you get the vaccine how long does it take for your immunity to build up so you won’t get the virus. (About 2 weeks).
6. 70% of folks who have had COVID-19 may have lasting symptoms. (Yes)
