Better not take it then Cav.

Or take it and ride the fever and live.

3,000 people, to put that into context, more than the total number of people killed in either 9/11 or the first day of D Day

Think of the historical significance of both events and what USA is doing today?

Yes - you are correct

The coronavirus will kill more people in the United States every day for the next 60 to 90 days than died on Sept. 11 or Pearl Harbor, CDC Director Robert Redfield said. Almost 3,000 Americans died on 9/11, and more than 2,400 were killed in Pearl Harbor. The U.S. – again – broke single-day COVID-19 records for reported deaths (3,110), cases (229,928), and hospitalizations (12,940), and is now averaging over 2,300 new coronavirus related deaths a day.

Pfizer vaccine trial participant: the second dose caused a ‘fever of 104.9 degrees’

https://www.yahoo.com/finance/video/pfizer-vaccine-trial-participant-second-172309989.html

“ I developed a fever and woke up in the morning with a very high fever of 104.9 degrees. At that point, that was a signal to me that I had probably gotten the active vaccine and not the placebo. And even though I felt pretty sick after that second dose, it was short-lived and those side effects were gone, really, by the end of that second day”

Last time I checked that is how a Vaccine Works, mild infection to the body so it builds up anti-bodies 

Covid Vaccine causes Fever of 104.9 Degrees for less than 24 hours would not make a scaremongering headline. 
 

When fever over 100 degrees for 72 hours do you seek medical advise.

That headline you show Coss is very misleading and poorly written

The standard recommendation is "Call your physician at 103 F, go to the emergency room at 105 F."  Having been on the wrong side of 103 F a few times, I'm probably not going to wait to hit 105 F to go to ER (more precisely, to call for an ambulance ride to ER).  My recollection is that 105 F is considered life-threatening, all by itself.

Specialist,

You are correct and I made an error. For 103 or higher immediate medical attention, high temperature but less than 103 72 hours.

I stand corrected. 

[My Penis is hungry]

When being corrected I prefer to sit, no point giving the smug know it all who is correcting me the privilege of me standing!

On the other hand, if I am correctly a young lady, I do prefer she uses a chair, bent over and a shapely arse presented for the necessary scolding.
