This info about how to get the therapeutic treatments is so good, thank you. We got infected at the peak of Omicron in NYC and didn't even bother trying to get any pills at the time as it was likely impossible. However if COVID really is over maybe there will be more opportunity to get treatments for future infections, kind of like how vaccine demand was way below expectation after the initial rollout. Too bad molnupiravir is getting so widely distributed, it's just not that effective. Unrelated the lack of good mask options for kids gets more obnoxious as variant R0 grows higher. Has anyone ever found a kid's mask with padded nose strip like the Aura? Thinking that might help prevent my 3 year old from having their mask slip down their face constantly. Ideally they'd just wear their Flomask but they got picky recently.

Was out driving and there was an old guy on a hill at a four way intersection who was stuck. People kept driving around him. I was afraid he was going to get rear ended so I stopped and helped him back his car onto a side street and called someone to come get him since his car was disabled and he was having a senior moment or some poo poo. Apparently people were just driving around this guy and no one stopped to help him. On the way back to my car someone yelled “nice mask human being!” Feeling great about humanity right now.

yeah you need to take it within five days of onset of symptoms. earlier the better. and there are some drug interactions so best to call your doctor if you have one

One advantage of molnupiravir is it should be variant proof (I think?), so it's mediocre efficacy should be relatively stable for the foreseeable future. Paxlovid probably will get resisted at some point. Yeah maybe it makes some new variants too, win some lose some.

They just need to prescribe some pediatric vaccines off label and they'd be amazing. Weird that they didn't account for actual heart disease given COVID's cardiovascular impact, but could prescribe based on a BMI measurement. Guessing BMI is a simple number that can be compared against a threshold for treatment.

Let my kid sleep over at grandma’s since they agreed to isolate and take rapid tests and mask when others were around if they took him to the playground or something. He comes home and brags about how he was the only one masking when they went out, even his friend and grandma and grandpa went unmasked at the playground and on the drive over. His friend’s mom is a respiratory therapist of some sort and works with Covid patients all day. Guess grandparents dont know how viruses work. Fingers crossed. Literally can trust no one in this world apparently.

Some more challenge trial data are in and the key takeaways are (wild type on a young and healthy cohort): 1) It is very infectious. 2) There is no correlation between symptoms and infectiousness. 3) It is detectable in the throat first, but got higher in the nose. 4) Loss/change of smell was very common and lasted at least past 180 days for some. It is long and dense, so I've cut very heavily (there are also graphs in the article, but they require a lot of text to explain so: snip snip). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01780-9#Sec2 posted:Safety, tolerability and viral kinetics during SARS-CoV-2 human challenge in young adults Also challenge trials are very ethical and cool, which is why this line gets honorable mention: quote:Because no medicinal product was being investigated, the study was deemed not a clinical trial according to UK regulations Edit: link to CNN article about it: https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/31/health/first-challenge-study-covid-19/index.html Pingui has issued a correction as of 23:40 on Apr 1, 2022 |
