These are cheap tests made to be used in mass production. The only point with which I disagree is that talking a LabCorp test will tell you much of anything. I think it's something all of us should do. You have it set up already - I have not, but will in the future. There are lots of places within a reasonable distance of me to get an infusion, but the trick is to set it up that I can get one quickly. The only reason they aren't used more is partly cost - and mostly because infusions are cumbersome in a hospital setting. The monoclonal cocktails are our best defense in case of COVID.

Luckily I'm not around people that often, so I don't burn through them as fast. If I'm going to go out there with people wearing scarves hanging off their chin - spitting away at everyone around them - I want to be protected by an N95. It's much easier now to separate out the fake ones. I have gotten N95 masks out on the black market. Unfortunately, with variants, a lot more of these people are ending up in the ICU. I think the greatest number of people coming down with COVID these days are in the 20-50 age group. The younger ones are really not concerned about COVID, as it hasn't been a life challenging problem for them. In general, many people are only concerned about themselves. Yes, that happens everywhere - especially where people have had restrictions relaxed. Jonquiljo in reply to lindalou5 2 years ago Then again, I am not an MD and not an expert. I would guess that your immunity would be quite good at this point. How do you know that your vaccinations are 25% effective? CLL patients vary a lot. On the other, it drives lots of us (including myself) crazy. CLL patients likely have a wide range of immunity after vaccination. Getting infusions every month is not an ideal way to prevent disease. In California (here) our governor has announced that the state will fully open on June 15th. We come up with vaccines, are not prepared to produce or administer them, and are relaxing restrictions beyond what is sane. But, like you, I am totally fed-up with the actions (or inaction) of our governments regarding this pandemic. If properly given to stop most variants - they are the one thing that is essentially passive immunity. Infusions are probably most effective if one currently has COVID.
