Thanks again. Question about common side effect site pain...
Studies might be strict (?) And preclude the use of a Lidocaine additive like what is found in some IM antibiotics?
I wish I was 50 years younger and attending college.
Also tantalizing trickles of trials news suggest the British Oxford vaccine has a great response in effectiveness but too commonly it causes fevers of 40c. I was going to opt for an influenza vaccination but now I am going to wait for more information. I hope in infectivity ratio is lower for Covid19 than common influenza.
A rheumatologist has had me on a .5mg BID regimen of Dexamethazone for years.

The CDC MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) just released reported about 300,000 more deaths than expected (using average deaths from all causes for the last 5 years) from Jan 26 through Oct 3.
We have had about 200,000 reported due to COVID during that time. The extra 100,000 are suspected to be a combination of not reported COVID and deaths at home due to multiple causes where people couldn't or chose not to get help at a hospital due to the pandemic, drug overdoses, suicide due to the economic conditions and isolation because of the pandemic.

What is saving my butt of living alone is contact with my family, ebooks, and You Tube movies and music. Excellent acoustics from an Altec Lansing stereo. My electronics hobby room also helps a lot
Isolation from an 8 letter obscene vulgarity also helps. It's commonly found on television which I do not have. I have been quarantining since late January. Have not been back to the U.S. for medical but going on the 27th. I refuse to wait if more than 2 other people are in the waiting room.

Australia saw an astounding 99% reduction in flu cases this season to 35,000. The H1N1 and H3N2 strains are virtual dobbalgangers of last year's virus. Johns Hopkins Clinician's news.
AstraZeneca released a news brief that there will be a resumption of Its stage III vaccine trials in the U.S.A. late this week or early next week.

Here is a verbatim quote from "Doctor Morens. Doctor Fauci's Associate"
Although no environment can be determined to be totally safe, Morens says we need to think about actions as low-, medium- or high-risk. The times to worry about contaminated surfaces would be when you are in a crowded public place where many people are touching the same surfaces. As an illustration of an area that poses high risk, he cited a public restroom next to a crowded airport lounge, where possibly contaminated people might touch the door handle, light switch, towel dispenser and faucet. That's a situation where you should be super-alert; if you wash your hands and then touch the faucet or door handle again, for example, you've just possibly contaminated yourself.
This risk in my personal opinion can be reduced to an acceptably safe level. Carry hand sanitizer, or a wet antibacterial wipe. Immediately after touching any surface out in public wipe your hands thoroughly. The statements I read about "washing hands.............." is horribly incomplete and possibly a reason for uncontrolled COVID spread. I treat "high risk touching surfaces" like the surface is contaminated with chemical poison, and wipe my hands immediately. Even if I have to do it thirty times in an hour.
But also in agreement with Dr. Fauci breathing heavily contaminated air is the most hazardous thing a person can do. My opinion is even a KN95 mask can only do so much. Avoidance of closed air systems is at a minimum people load, important and at a high density load, vital. Again, in opinion an open store with controlled occupancy, (at least) 7 feet distancing, masks, and avoidance of groups of people of 3 or more) is safe but length of exposure is important. I give myself 30 minutes max in a controlled store. And I do maintain my hands reasonably disinfected not just occasionally washed properly. I try my best not to use public restrooms.
We are nearer to getting a vaccine. I do not want to throw a rod a hundred feet from the finish line.
