"i look at the side effect of EVERY. SINGLE. MEDICATION. my doctor wants me to take, and most people, most people they don't do it - but i sit down and read THE ENTIRE. PAMPHLET. if i see one thing - ONE. THING i don't like on there, i throw the whole thing away call the doctor up and say 'i ain't fuckin' taking that'."

Is it not equally as likely the number polio does on your immune system makes you more susceptible to opportunistic infection from enterovirus? Though I could also see a combination one-two punch type thing, like how measles wipes your immune memory giving other infections carte blanche that you thought you’d beaten. The RSV vaccine though is an unmitigated good. My oldest got it at six months old from daycare and got asthma from it. Ironically enough my sister told me not to come to Christmas that year because my grandmother had recently had heart surgery and didn’t want her exposed. This same sister now supports JFK Jr, refuses to get (the rest of) her kids vaccinated and treated them and herself with ivermectin. Oh yeah her husbands an ICU nurse. I guess I should have listened to him when he offered me some, he is a trained medical professional after all.

In terms of isolation, how should I think about the number of day guidance vs. negative RAT tests? My province's guidance is 10 days but the CDC is 20 days (immunocompromised). Fortunately I work from home, so that side of things is easy enough, but somehow my family managed to dodge this infection and I'm wondering how long I need to stay holed up in my basement (I do go upstairs / outside to drive the kids to things and help with things, but everyone is masked with N95s so we keep it to a minimum). If I'm negative on 2 tests 24 hours apart, is that a relatively safe guideline for not having COVID even if it's less than the 20 days? I've been symptom free for a week now probably mostly thanks to a course of remedisivir.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I'm in Australia where paxlovid is being gatekept to the very old or the very immunocompromised despite calls from epidemiologists for wider access. They actually eased up on the eligibility factors in April this year, previously people in their 60s had to have two risk factors to be eligible for paxlovid but they lowered that to just one risk factor. For people like me who are under 60 and don't have multiple risk factors it's pretty much impossible for me to get pax unless I could somehow convince an MD to prescribe it for me, and even then it'd cost over $1,000 out-of-pocket which I couldn't even afford. Australian pets have a better shot at getting COVID antivirals than humans do. 🤣 The compounding veterinary pharmacy Bova (no joke) has been spinning human Remdesivir into a veterinary drug since 2020.  Two cats use as much Remdesivir as three humans, because they require long courses of treatment to cure FIP.

A refreshing letter from some of our Washington state doctors calling for continued precautionary approaches in healthcare settings. https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M23-1230 Opening paragraph, emphasis mine: "The COVID-19 pandemic has upended societal norms and changed the way we view the health risks associated with respiratory viral infections. Although extensive research has helped elucidate the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 and expanded our understanding of COVID-19–associated health complications, much remains to be learned, especially with regard to long-term sequelae of infection. In health care, universal masking was implemented as a key source control measure to reduce risk for nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 transmission among patients and health care workers (HCWs), based on the available evidence that masking could reduce risk for respiratory viral transmission (1). The end of the COVID-19 emergency declarations by the World Health Organization and the U.S. federal government has prompted discussions about the future of masking in health care settings (2, 3) as COVID-19 is increasingly viewed as an established and ongoing health issue. In our view, the ongoing disease burden among persons at highest risk for severe COVID-19, the large proportion of transmission from asymptomatic and presymptomatic cases, uncertainty about the future course of the pandemic (4), and the effects of post–COVID-19 conditions merit integration of lessons learned from the pandemic into health care precautions and policies." From another section: "In a recent article, Shenoy and colleagues (2) proposed a transition back to prepandemic approaches to mitigating health care–associated respiratory viral infections by using Standard Precautions and Transmission-Based Precautions in health care settings. This recommendation assumes that our prepandemic approach to preventing hospital-acquired respiratory viral infections was adequate. In fact, it is likely that before the pandemic, we vastly underappreciated the degree of harm caused by hospital-acquired respiratory viral infections that were preventable by masking among patients and HCWs (7). Prior policies focused exclusively on limiting health care–associated infections from identified ill patients to HCWs. As Palmore and Henderson highlight (3), the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic have led to a greater appreciation of asymptomatic, presymptomatic, and pauci-symptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other endemic respiratory viruses (8)."

I get the sentiment but feeding posts to kooks willing to dig through months of post histories to complain in SAD is kinda counterproductive in here at any rate whatever new variant is dominating is popping the gently caress off and hospitalizations are increasing at an unnerving rate, two friend groups went on interstate vacations and both turned into nearly 100 percent infections.
