Thanks for the prayers and the info. I honestly don’t expect Lucas to get to the point of needing anything other than some slight symptomatic relief. He really appears to following the typical teenage scenario... Very mild symptoms, no cough, a little congestion, mild fever... The only big red flag is the loss of smell and taste. There’s every reason to hope he’ll be back to normal this weekend and back to work the next...
It’s Karla that I am most concerned about in all this. If she gets it then this household is screwed, lol.

George- the comment “that’s his mom in his ear” was amazing. If people only understood where their point of view was coming from.

Lufin, some Walgreens are offering the one hour test. We went to one and got ours back before we got home.

@Mik Thanks! I will keep that as backup for myself and Karla. I still want him to go to our Physician first... I imagine Karla and I will need to be tested once he’s clear.

Pfizer and Moderna's mRNA new type of vaccine.
Oxford University’s AstraZeneca, maybe even other vaccines that will be granted approval.I don't understand, will people be given a choice as to which vaccine they would like? Are they the same in how they work?
I'd like the best vaccine. Which one is it?

Your insurance might have something to say, too.

Astra Zeneca's will be cheaper, unless Warp Speed has skewed the pricing mechanism (which is entirely possible). It is proven technology that is easier to transport and store.

Do you mean, like:
"We (provider) will pay $100 toward the vaccine by X, which has a price of $120 and is 85% effective. If you choose Y, which is 97% effective but costs $980, the additional cost must be made by you."Something like that?

Yep, but just for starters... How about if in-network physicians are “encouraged” to only provide 1 (preferred) option?
Frankly, most people won’t even know or care which vaccine they are getting.

Most providers will only get one kind, at least at the beginning.
I’m prepared to shop around to get the one I want, if I need to.

Medicare will cover whatever it is, no OOP.

Personally, I think the US Market for vaccines will be a lot lower by late January.

And Luke’s test came back positive... That’s one less vaccine needed (for at least 9 months...)

Not a surprise, but a disappointment nevertheless. Please keep us updated on Luke, and the rest of the family, of course.

Sorry to hear about Luke - hope this he avoids the long haul.

Odds are very much in his favor.
My nephew was 24, and shook it off in four days, with mostly flu-like symptoms.

I’m indifferent to Pfizer and Moderna. If Astra Zeneca gets to 90% I’m indifferent to that as well. I don’t care about the diff between 90 and 95%. Not exactly sure when I start thinking about it maybe under 85%. I don’t know. I will make sure everyone I know gets it fast, that matters most.

On another note, my wife's friend is doing a bit better. She may make it.
Part of her problem was a bleed, and they did give her one unit. SIL says they are seeing a lot of bleeds with patients on Remdesivir.

I hope Luke is done with it quickly.
