Questions for Dr Allison Berry:
1. I got a Covid booster on a Tuesday. That Friday, I tested positive for Covid.
Could the positivity be a result of the booster? Or does it even matter? Positive is positive???
2. How long after having covid do you have to wait to get booster?
3. I applied for free at home Covid tests and never received them.
Is there a way to tell them that?
4. Why doesn't the FDA/CDC recommend more than one COVID vaccine annually?
Help me make sense of these related questions:
-Six months after getting a Covid is natural immunity superior to vaccine-induced immunity?
Wouldn't one get that from a semi-annual booster shot?
-Does the annual shot result in lower levels of community transmission than a semi-annual shot would?
-Is the risk of developing long Covid symptoms from a breakthrough case lower than it would be from getting a booster shot in six months?
Question for Willie Bence:
1. I know we have tsunami sirens along our coast in Jefferson County but would DEM consider other sirens or tones to alert the community of say, a wild fire, that threatened residential
areas in the PT area?
Or perhaps a tone that when sounded would get people to tune into our community emergency broadcast station KPTZ for more information?
