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.

Edit:

Well are least if we're wrong, we're gonna be wrong together!

Yep, they are the perfect get of jail free card for our incompetant politicians who get daily tests and concierge medical services while they shove the rest of us into the furnace.

Probably the reason trump is alive though no one really knew how effective they were at the time.

While the Cardinal’s family appreciates the good intentions of those who have suggested treatments, consultations, etc., they ask that people refrain from sending anything further. They also ask that you not contact them, members of the Shrine staff, or the Cardinal’s residence in Rome to discuss his condition. Texts, phone calls and emails—while certainly solicitous and often gracious—can, inadvertently, become a burden. The family does not plan to disclose His Eminence’s location to avoid the obvious difficulties that might cause.

lmao all the tradcath chuds are screaming "HYDROXYCHLORIQUIN!!" at his family

Does this quote remind anyone of anything?

i'm not trying to downplay risk or say people should be doing stupid things, but if you're vaccinated and under 60, delta is likely not going to kill you. you might get sick. you might get long covid. but you'll live.

For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?

Petey posted:

because judging by this page maybe people didn't see this under the tweet

the tl;dr is, as others have said:

— they are authorized for use for treatment for anyone who has a positive PCR test and is at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 and/or hospitalization (which has really broad and non-exclusive definitions — bmi over 25, any immune issues, any cardiovascular disease, etc), within the first 10 days of symptom onset
— they are authorized for use for prophylaxis for anyone who is unvaxxed or has at high risk of severe disease (same broad guidelines), who has been exposed to a confirmed positive or lives in a congregate setting (nursing home, prison, etc)
— depending on where you go, there are both infusions (hourlong inpatient process with IVs and stuff) and subcutaneous injections (normal jab)

quoting for a new page because it is important

For real though if you know anything about claim adjudication, billing, coding, etc, any sort of claim administration, it pays out the wazoo. My brother got a temp job with an insurance provider in central PA and ended up in devops administering their claims processing software. Just got poached away from them by a consultancy firm that offered him six figures when the insurance co was paying him ~$60K. There's a lot of money in that poo poo.

its loving up my dad. one doctor thinks that covid caused some minor/unnoticeable strokes either before he was put on the vent or they happened while he was on the ventilator.

he does have long term mental impacts, but it isn't a case of going from genius to idiot. he is still just as skilled at his old job mentally, but his short term memory is lovely and it takes him a second to process things sometimes. i had to give him the numbers of an address to punch into a gps unit four times for him to be able to get them in.

Sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope he feels better with time.

Thanks for saying that, I know rationally that should be the case. It's just the thing that seems to have the most uncertainty around it so that's what my anxieties focus on. I wouldn't even have considered myself an anxious person before the pandemic, this poo poo sucks. Really feel for those out there who were already dealing with anxiety.
