Vaccine

How would a deer be in close proximity for a prolonged amount of time in order to transmit Covid to a human? Zoo maybe?

Well, it gets cold up in Canada...one thing leads to another.

You sound a bit like a dazzling urbanite. Lots of places where deer are pretty thick, and they like edge habitats. And, for emergents that have the right set of genetic changes, just takes one jump. Which they document happened in this case. It just didn't take off.
 
I was responding. Its popping up in other threads as well. Given the overall structure of the site perhaps that is not the worst thing in the world. It will be on people's minds.
I thought maybe her passing was Covid or vaccine reaction related was the reason. Any way it came to occur it is a horrible shame.

I grew up hunting in the country side of the South East. White Tail are pretty thick in those woods.

I’ve never seen a deer hang out within 6 feet of a human being for more than three seconds unless it was dead or domesticated but that’s only my experience.

Ah, then you'll know what opening day of deer season can be like. Growing up they'd get into our garden right in broad daylight, eat the corn, paw up the carrots. My mom would send me out with my BB gun to pop them in the butt.

And you are right. For all these types of wildlife resevoir to human jumps it takes close contact. So for north american deer its going to be hunting, road kill, sick animals stuff like that. Since the virus quickly adapts to its animal host, its infectivity in humans will generally, and fortunately, be low. Every so often the right set of circumstances arise for a jump. Most of those jumps will fail; there is no further human to human transmission. That is apparently what happened in the case that was just reported. But we have a new active resevoir on this continent now, where we didn't have one before.
 
Deer are notorious anti-maskers.

I still say make it legal to bait with corn, then let dudes go out in their trucks at night, kick back a six pack or two, Q beam away and vaxx the deer with a dart gun. Open season year round. Vaccine hesitancy in rural America would disappear overnight. Or they'd accidentally cross vaccinate one another. Either way. Actually, once the virus adapts to deer it will have antigenically drifted pretty far from human vaccines. Which is, of course, the problem with the rare jumps back to humans.
 
An 18-year-old woman in Nevada who suffered seizures after receiving the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine has received three brain surgeries related to blood clots, a spokesperson for her family said.
Emma Burkey began feeling sick about a week after receiving the one-dose vaccine early this month, spokesman Bret Johnson said. She was one of six women in the U.S. and the only reported resident in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, who experienced a serious clotting side effect. One person died.

I think we all can agree that this is starting to look a lot like murder 1 Bio weapon. Stop supporting this shit!!!
 
I believe I have recovered from omicron. I didn't test since I don't go into the office. It started with a headache - not bad but I did take an Advil two times - and a fair amount of sneezing on Friday and Saturday. I had a minor sore throat. I had a lot of congestion on Saturday and Sunday but the headache went away. Congestion improved Monday. My throat and voice were pretty raw Tuesday morning but improved during the day. Congestion was much less. Today, I felt pretty normal with just a little congestion. I exercised normally throughout but was tired took a nap during the day a few times. No fever that I noticed. It felt like a regular cold - annoying but day-to-day activities were manageable. Maybe I won't need the next booster ;).
