Captain Kurt: I was happy to read you are recovering. I'm also vaccinated and have hip replacement surgery coming up in 10 days and I definitely do not want to get exposed to that Delta variant.

The plane looks great! Thank you for all your excellent work. :applause::applause:

Kurt,

I am sorry you ended up with Covid, but I'm glad you were protected to a large extent. With two family members with compromised immune systems, including myself, I worry about that too. I went through actually having Covid before I was vaccinated. I am glad you are recovering well. Many thanks for your work on this model, I look forward to flying again after my move!

C_K,

As always your efforts are highly appreciated by me as well. I'm sorry to hear you have Covid, but happy to here you have only mild complaints.

As for getting Covid after being vaccinated: None of the available vaccines covers a full 100% For the Delta version the mRMA vaccines like Moderna and Pfizer are expected to protect 98% of the vaccinated people. For the vector type of vaccines this is less. For the AstraZeneca vaccine the expected percentage is 92% and for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine they expect even a lower percentage. A positive effect for the people who are infected after being vaccinated is that you become less ill. Hospitalisation is a very rare thing for this group.

The older you get the less good your immune system will work, but it is also harder to activate with a vaccine. So for us old farts the vaccines are simply less effective, but they do keep us out of serious trouble.

Get well and looking forward to fly the DH.9a :encouragement:

Hi huub, this old fart has had the covid.
While it is generally flu like symptoms, it was the worst flu I've ever experienced, fever, headache , my legs didn't work, lost sense of taste and smell too.. but its the after effects that got me worst of all.. blood clots in lungs and brain, brain damage, lung damage, heart damage and what the medics are calling super sticky blood. I only went back to work in May after contracting it in December, and still having regular hospital tests for monitoring.. but hey ho I'm still here

Going to have to try this dh9 in fs2004..
