Looking over the arc of the pandemic, Dr. Allemann emphasizes that it is not over until it is over for everyone. There was amazing progress with rapid genetic sequencing, vaccines were developed in record time, and China did admit fairly quickly that infection was happening. In comparison, the last flu pandemic got called the Spanish Flu because no other country would admit it was happening. Stumbles: the US created its own test rather than using the WHO test; we minimized masks at first; and we had insufficient masks, PPE, tests, and test materials. Surprising: masks were more important than ventilators. Not surprising: public health matters to us all, and nurses are essential. Many underpaid workers are essential. Inequality is dangerous and sometimes fatal. Graces: In the US, the hospital system held.  

The FINAL edition of Community Pulse will air next Wednesday, June 9. As the pandemic seems to be lessening in severity in mid-Missouri, it is time to conclude the show and highlight other things in our community.

1. What can we do after vaccination with other vaccinated people?  Can we be inside without masks?  How do we think about the other people in our bubbles who aren’t vaccinated?
2. Do we change the way we think about receiving a vaccine if we have had COVID 19?  Are there increased risks to the vaccine?  Are the benefits different?  What if we had asymptomatic disease?

They also address many frequently asked questions, such as: is the vaccine free?  Do I have to have insurance?  How do I know if it’s my turn? What if I am breastfeeding?  What if I am pregnant? How do I protect my children who are too young to get the vaccine? What if I have a health condition that affects my immune system?  Is the vaccine safe and effective for me? How can I assess how much my condition might affect my response to the vaccine?

In addition, they discuss the J/J vaccine, the AstraZenica vaccine and Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis.
