A third of my husband�s office back in Florida and his family and some of my friends also back in Florida are all sick right now but the good news is it�s not covid it�s just that weird stomach bug going around, no need to even test for covid because no way it could be that, so at least anecdotally there�s no covid in Florida, but maybe still steer clear because a lot of people are real sick with not covid right now.

Paxlovid isn�t given with Ritonavir. Paxlovid isn�t even a pill as such.

There are two sets of pills with two active ingredients. One of them is Ritonavir, produced since 1996. Paxlovid is not the other. Paxlovid the name of the combined regimen.

The other compound, the novel one, is called Nirmatrelvir.

Pedantic? Absolutely, but maybe she ought to know a thing or two about the lynchpin of her supposed plan.

Here�s a photo illustration for people with mild capacity for learning:

Sidenote: the U.S. dispenses way too many loose pills. This regimen is unusually sensitive and complicated, but there are places where nearly everything comes in a blister pack and guess what? It improves patient outcomes.

But it might eat a little into insurance company profits so you can�t have that.

Vaccines are the most effective tool to prevent COVID-19, and the Administration does not have the funding for necessary investments in research and to support the development of promising new vaccine candidates. Such next-generation vaccines hold potential to broaden protection against known and future variants, reduce dosing through single-dose primary regimens with extended duration of protection (i.e., longer interval between boosters or possible elimination of boosters altogether), and reduce costs by increasing manufacturing yields and extending shelf life.

realized today that's in part because he distanced himself from his partner. only saw her outside for a while. i guess they're not really talking any more.

https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/972005 posted:
Long-Term Smell Loss in COVID-19 Tied to Damage in the Brain's Olfactory Bulb

Patients with COVID-19, especially those with an altered sense of smell, have significantly more axon and microvasculopathy damage in the brain's olfactory tissue versus non-COVID patients. These new findings from a post-mortem study may explain long-term loss of smell in some patients with the virus.

"The striking axonal pathology in some cases indicates that olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 may be severe and permanent," the investigators led by Cheng-Ying Ho, MD, PhD, associate professor, Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, write.

"The results show the damage caused by COVID can extend beyond the nasal cavity and involve the brain," Ho told Medscape Medical News.
(..)
There was no evidence of the virus in the olfactory tissue of most patients, suggesting the olfactory pathology was likely caused by vascular damage, said Ho.

What's unique about SARS-CoV-2 is that although it's a respiratory virus, it's capable of infecting endothelial cells lining vessels.

"Other respiratory viruses only attack the airways and won't attack vessels, but vascular damage has been seen in the heart and lung in COVID patients, and our study showed the same findings in the olfactory bulb," Ho explained.
(..)
Commenting for Medscape Medical News, Davangere P. Devanand, MD, professor of psychiatry and neurology and director of geriatric psychiatry, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York City, said the findings indicate the damage from COVID in the olfactory pathway may not be reversible as was previously thought.

"This has been suggested before as a possibility, but the autopsy findings in this case series indicate clearly that there may be permanent damage," he said.

The results highlight the need to monitor patients with COVID for a smell deficit, said Devanand.

"Assuring patients of a full recovery in smell and taste may not be sound advice, although recovery does occur in many patients," he added.(..)

Postmortem Assessment of Olfactory Tissue Degeneration and Microvasculopathy in Patients With COVID-19

Abstract
Importance Loss of smell is an early and common presentation of COVID-19 infection. Although it has been speculated that viral infection of olfactory neurons may be the culprit, it is unclear whether viral infection causes injuries in the olfactory bulb region.

Objective To characterize the olfactory pathology associated with COVID-19 infection in a postmortem study.

Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter postmortem cohort study was conducted from April 7, 2020, to September 11, 2021. Deceased patients with COVID-19 and control individuals were included in the cohort. One infant with congenital anomalies was excluded. Olfactory bulb and tract tissue was collected from deceased patients with COVID-19 and appropriate controls. Histopathology, electron microscopy, droplet digital polymerase chain reaction, and immunofluorescence/immunohistochemistry studies were performed. Data analysis was conducted from February 7 to October 19, 2021.

Main Outcomes and Measures (1) Severity of degeneration, (2) losses of olfactory axons, and (3) severity of microvasculopathy in olfactory tissue.

Results Olfactory tissue from 23 deceased patients with COVID-19 (median [IQR] age, 62 [49-69] years; 14 men [60.9%]) and 14 control individuals (median [IQR] age, 53.5 [33.25-65] years; 7 men [50%]) was included in the analysis. The mean (SD) axon pathology score (range, 1-3) was 1.921 (0.569) in patients with COVID-19 and 1.198 (0.208) in controls (P < .001), whereas axon density was 2.973 (0.963) � 104/mm2 in patients with COVID-19 and 3.867 (0.670) � 104/mm2 in controls (P = .002). Concomitant endothelial injury of the microvasculature was also noted in olfactory tissue. The mean (SD) microvasculopathy score (range, 1-3) was 1.907 (0.490) in patients with COVID-19 and 1.405 (0.233) in control individuals (P < .001). Both the axon and microvascular pathology was worse in patients with COVID-19 with smell alterations than those with intact smell (mean [SD] axon pathology score, 2.260 [0.457] vs 1.63 [0.426]; P = .002; mean [SD] microvasculopathy score, 2.154 [0.528] vs 1.694 [0.329]; P = .02) but was not associated with clinical severity, timing of infection, or presence of virus.

Conclusions and Relevance This study found that COVID-19 infection is associated with axon injuries and microvasculopathy in olfactory tissue. The striking axonal pathology in some cases indicates that olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 infection may be severe and permanent.
(..)
Naturally limitations apply, as these are all dead people. However it does demonstrate that vascular damage of the olfactory bulb does occur in a permanent fashion.
