Petey posted:i swear on lowtax's grave that i have no financial stake in this but: no, this is not what is happening. regeneron does not have reduced efficacy via delta. it is not only useful after infection, it is also useful prophylactically against infection, to prevent an exposed person from getting infected. if you are infected, it is the best treatment available, but (as steve said) only within about the first week post-exposure. it is true that bambam is no longer helpful and the fda said to stop using it. Good post. A library is just such a poorly designed place for an iv infusion clinic, it's really boneheaded. Like, at least the high school gymnasium has nonporous floors !

I want to believe you Petey but can you explain this https://twitter.com/itosettimd_mba/status/1425600850601385987?s=21 Is it that maybe it doesn’t work in vitro but is still working in real world?

Hadlock posted:Nth-ing that computer jobs rule, generally are a true 9-5, and pay solidly middle class wages, can probably work from home 2-5 days a week; qualifications required are pretty low, especially if you're the self educated type Yeah for all my bitching about my frustrations with the job and referring to dinguses and goofuses banging out poor code and companies not valuing skill, I want to just say that dinguses and goofuses can be (and frequently are) CS degree holders and skilled developers can be (and frequently are) self taught. I think the main thing that divides the two are whether or not you really enjoy learning about it to the point where you do so on your own and continue to do so over time. Like most things, my frustrations in the field are almost entirely from the way capitalism assigns value to things. Go get those non life threatening jobs goons! And I'm very sorry if you're getting into computer touching and exiting a field you really enjoyed. Not because you don't belong or anything like that, but because you should be able to do what you love, get paid a comfortable wage, and not be in mortal danger.

Even after every single kid in America gets Delta they're still going to need a vaccine anyway. Natural immunity is apparently not a big deal for our ambitious pandemic virus to evolve around. So the current plan has every kid get infected with all the associated risks coming from that, ~5% end up with something long-COVID-like, then whatever vaccine adverse effect risks piled on top of that. That's the official plan, following the current EUA approval process.

NeonPunk posted:Just had a thought. In America, those who are smart are seeing an pretty great opportunity that isn't going to come around very often. In few weeks or more, you can just simply fake your own death and just disappear and get a new identity somewhere else. It's the perfect time to do so. Ain't nobody is gonna be looking too deeply It is harder now than it was pre-2001. A lot of biometrics are in play now. Still possible, particularly if your new identity is based on a legally issued identity for a deceased person. The old standby is to pick some kid who died young but would be about your current age if they'd lived, and start from there for comprehensive identity theft. It's harder to get away with than it used to be though.

Silver Nitrate posted:Any advice on dealing with an employer that won’t let staff wear anything other than provided surgical masks? Friend was told they could not wear a better mask under their surgical mask. It’s a job with a lot of exposure to the mostly unmasked public. Employer wants everyone to match. others have said this already but i agree: QUIT they could try convincing the boss first, or just put down their feet and wear a better mask anyway. maybe they could convince coworkers to do the same. is that dumb fucker of a boss really going to fire them for it? if so then it's for the best anyway lol at dying or suffering longterm health issues for an employer who wants everyone to "match" with equally worthless masks there was a UK health care worker study a while back showing surgical mask wearers were 47x more likely to become infected than FFP3 (UK version of N99) mask wearers. it would be a bit less for KN94/N95 but they're still significant upgrades from a surgical

“we can’t live like this forever!” a man says, from inside a small shipping container. outside fires rage across a desolate landscape. he opens the door and walks outside. the fires incinerate his body and then come inside the shipping container, incinerating the rest of us.

Steve Yun posted:I want to believe you Petey but can you explain this because if you look at figure 2 chart c, you will see (as the paragraph quote says), some of the mAbs are significantly evaded by delta, but not all of them, including those in the regeneron cocktail (and i think in the eli lilly). if i'm reading that chart right, casirivimab performs exactly the same against the wt black line and blue delta bar. speaking of which — 59 page slide deck on mAbs, when/how they should be prescribed. very good read in order to be the best possible advocate for you or anyone you know who is infected, or who is exposed w/ high risk of severe outcome: https://www.phe.gov/emergency/events/COVID19/investigation-MCM/Documents/USG-COVID19-Tx-Playbook.pdf

My impression, which might be wrong, is that is you either take them after a known exposure but before you get sick, or if you are tested daily and take them as soon as you get a positive test, the antibodies are good at stopping COVID. But that if you don't get them until you are already very sick then they are pointless.

My impression is they're fairly useless if you're not regularly tested to catch an infection ASAP? Like if you wait until you're already feeling like poo poo, your body should have spun up the immune system and be producing the antibodies anyway (especially if vaccinated) and your problem is just that there's so loving much virus everywhere that needs to be cleared.
