Has anyone in this thread experience with getting covid while on chemotherapy? Are there any good sources for that topic? Just finding a lot of trash when searching.

Defintely talk to your team, especially for paxlovid, it has a lot of interactions with meds including cancer meds and you shouldn't trust that it's safe to take for you in particular unless you hear it from someone familiar with your cancer treatment.

Too early to say for sure but it appears the first derivative of case rates in China is noticeably improving (i.e. case rates are increasing more slowly). If you look at this graph you can kind of imagine where the peak would be, and it may not even be as bad as their extremely well-controlled initial outbreak. Possibly very good news! Does anybody have any more detailed information??

Not sure how Jen Psaki having basically a very contagious minor head cold for a week (which, of course, could be worse if someone more vulnerable caught it) is "good news" but I'm glad the administration is still testing people before going on trips.

Asking in good faith: I understand that long covid isn't related to the severity of initial symptoms, but rather to underlying preconditions like Epstein-Barr virus. Is this understanding incorrect? My buddy had a mild case of COVID and lost taste/smell, another lost their ability to use software they had used for years. Is long COVID less a concern than the stats would lead us to believe (1 in 10)?

C’mon this is the same kinda stuff you hear on Fox News .. “oh it’s just a cold” Anyways, it’s good news bc it’s a public figure with a rapid re-infection, which will may help some people realize that immunity is not durable, hopefully leading to behavior modifications. Also I don’t like her  Much like “Insane in the” Tim Kaine having Long Covid … serves him right, and it’ll draw attention to an otherwise unreported issue.

AutismVaccine posted:Dont have covid atm, but with my luck who really knows. If you have cancer and being treated I do believe you're in the risk group and eligible for monoclonals or paxlovid. Paxlovid has drug interactions that may exclude you from it, something about the liver, but I don't know all of those details. Because both are antiviral drugs they have to be given as early as possible in the viral replication phase of the disease (first week), not in the inflammatory phase (second week). So within 5 days of symptom onset but really right away after getting a positive test result. Might indeed be a good idea to discuss that beforehand with your doctor so that you don't waste time chasing it down then. So not the worst case scenario really, because those drugs are to avoid the worst case scenario!And it's important to realize that if you wait until the disease is "bad enough" it will be too late for them to do anything! By the way: Dr. Daniel Griffin, who is an infectious disease physician-scientist and one of the hosts of the TWiV COVID-19 podcast, is very much up to date on the latest treatments and guidelines and he does take email questions from people struggling with challenges similar to yours. Worth a shot maybe. daniel %at% microbe.tv All the best and hopefully you'll never need the advice!

There is a good chance she wouldn't have even noticed if not for the test.

Leon Sumbitches posted:Asking in good faith: My personal take on this is that there is not one long covid, but several distinct ones. There's people who have their lung capacity completely wiped out, there's cardiovascular issues, neurological, auto-immune, preexisting health issues getting exacerbated, etc... So it's not very useful to say something like that, because in some cases underlying conditions are at play, and in others they're not.

Add mesenteric lymphadenitis in children to that list. My stepdaughter and her friend both got it during COVID-19 infection, and they both still suffer severe pain from it more than a month later. vvv Edit: I'm more-less just venting, sorry. vvv mom and dad fight a lot fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Mar 23, 2022 |

Atm i am getting some kind of body immune system booster meds plus my standard 4 chemo mix, so all additional meds are out of the question cause the liver is at the limit. But thx for the suggestion, didnt know you can prevent it. spankmeister posted:If you have cancer and being treated I do believe you're in the risk group and eligible for monoclonals or paxlovid.

Thx for the info, will ask about the two options with my doctor next monday. Depending on the outcome maybe i will seek out other professionals.

The vast majority of COVID cases, even among those 65+, have been “mild” even prior to vaccination. Our former president once famously quipped that 99% of people, in fact, survive.

Dreaming of the freedom to kill a million Chinese people in two months. Why can't everyone else see how wonderful it will be? Surely just a coincidence that we just need them back under the international capitalist grindstone to stabilize shipping and prices. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Leon Sumbitches posted:Asking in good faith: Long covid is poorly understood, and is a blanket term for a wide range of long-term sequelae of infection that probably do not all share a common physiological cause (other than SARS-CoV-2 infection). There are some people with long-term damage that very much *is* related to the severity of the initial infection. There are lots of other cases where all kinds of weird immunopathology shows up sometimes weeks after a mild infection. The mechanisms for this are still being sorted out. As far as stats go, it's only until relatively recently that well-controlled studies with large cohorts (of vaccinated patients, in particular) have been able to estimate hazard ratios for various long-term symptoms, and from those data things don't look great, I guess. It's not too surprising, given the wild tissue tropism of the virus, and the high peak viral loads typical even in quickly cleared infections.

It's certainly bizarre that China appears to be an authoritarian hellhole on the one hand, and has utterly failed to vaccinate its most vulnerable population on the other hand. It must be a source of major embarrassment for them.

I thought the alternating lockdowns in Shanghai to turn two smaller ones into an effectively longer one was clever. That dude I know who went there got himself out on the last train out of town and, and this may be hearsay, dumped his girlfriend on the platform as he was boarding.

I mean, obviously there can be plenty of debate over human rights in the PRC, but I can't help but notice that Americans are now benefitting from their Covid zero approach, as a nationwide Chinese covid outbreak would cause yet another worldwide price shock, and they appear, for now, to have avoided that. So, thanks, authoritarianism, you did us a solid on that one.

It's possible to believe that China's COVID policies have so far avoided the death and disruption visited upon most of the world, which is good, and that it's a dystopian ethno-nationalist police state, which is bad. Those are not mutually exclusive statements.
