To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? That is the question.

Oh, my @rosemarya. Those numbers are worse than I had heard, I hope they are not correct. I had heard our immunity would probably be about 65% but if that's from the CDC it probably is closer to what the actual percentage will be.
Also, I found this article interesting - they expect Covid to be seasonal like the flu. When you think of it, it's not too surprising. We would of course have better luck defeating it, if more people would be compliant.

Someone had expressed interest in how my lab work yesterday was. It came back pretty much identical to always. Of course there are minor variations in some of the numbers, but it was right in line with the graph of past results. Definitely no variance from the vaccine though.
The one number I always wonder about and have not really gotten a great answer on, is why my protein always shows low. I eat a lot of protein, even more now that I know I have osteoporosis.. and that protein is as important as calcium, but still, it's slightly lower than the recommended range.

I’m glad your labs were ok; thanks for letting us know. I struggled with very low protein levels in the hospital and after being released even though I was on a feeding tube for two months. I refused to use Ensure as it’s just fortified corn syrup. When I was released from the hospital I started taking Orgain protein drinks, plus protein at meals (I don’t eat beef or pork). Orgain saved me from having to continue on the feeding tube (!!) and helped to bring my protein levels to normal. It’s pricey, but the company frequently offers discounts, as does Amazon. I don’t live near a Costco, but apparently their prices are the lowest.
