You say that, but actually that is the good one. The one you want to get. Just kidding - of course - as the entire right side is Omicron, so they are all the ones you want to get.

We've seen the US study here before, but this further substantiates a relationship. Now caution should be urged as these are all hospitalized patients and we've seen other research pointing at things like dysfunctional mitochondria, malformed blood cells, autoantibodies etc. It is more than possible that there are different types of "brain fog", with distinct underlying mechanisms. All that to say: if you have experienced brain fog after COVID, it does not mean you have blood clots in your brain or lungs. "Brain fog after Covid linked to blood clots - study" https://www.bbc.com/news/health-66658257 posted:Blood clots in the brain or the lungs might explain some common symptoms of "long Covid", including brain fog and fatigue, a UK study suggests. Study proper: "Acute blood biomarker profiles predict cognitive deficits 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 hospitalization" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-023-02525-y posted:Abstract

How much of a difference does swabbing the tonsils make? I can’t see/reach mine. I’ve been swabbing cheeks/gums/back of tongue, is that basically equivalent?

Koirhor posted:loving launching a vaccine that will probably do gently caress all does not encourage people to get working vaccines later Any monovalent booster against any Omicron is probably going to help quite a bit vs nothing since a year ago. There was quite a bit of Bird App Scientist chatter even then that the bivalent boost should have been a new monovalent Omicron primer/secondary series to properly prime the immune response to such a distinct virus.

Walmart is launching a quick testing and treatment? program for COVID in Arkansas because of the large increase here in August: https://katv.com/news/local/walmart...alth-new-strain The test is $133, no they don't take insurance, no they don't say in the article what kind of test or treatment.

Koirhor posted:loving launching a vaccine that will probably do gently caress all does not encourage people to get working vaccines later I mean it will work well on XBB, there is still tons of that out there alongside related XBB variants so it'll still be worthwhile (for now) winter time is gonna be completely different for sure tho

I think low and slow is the more consistently important thing, but to try and answer your question: Annoyingly some of the first research we got that pointed at the double test had these results: "Saliva swabs are the preferred sample for Omicron detection" https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.22.21268246v1 posted:Abstract If you look closely you will note that saliva and nasal cavity (mid-turbinate) swabs switch between Delta and Omicron as the highest PPA.

Probably yeah, but you can also just do several hard cough on the swab since anecdotally it helps give a more accurate result if it's lurking in your lungs instead of anywhere else in case

There's no guidance on exposure at work. There's no test site anymore. Employee health just has a voicemail to report a positive test. We're on our own. Lol lmao. Major hospital system, but you're on your own if you get sick. No COVID leave anymore either. Life in the purge

It's likely impossible to track, but I'd like to see how infectivity correlates with people bothering to give a poo poo about covid. A mutation needs to be fit when some people are actually trying to stop it from spreading, but now? Any old variant will do. I've been debating whether or not to post about this just because of how rattled it left me, but I've been out traveling this week and when I was at Yellowstone, some fuckhead ripped my mask off in the parking lot. I had just been to see Old Faithful and was putting my bike back on the car when I heard some giggling, I turned around and two beefy dudes were there, one of them with his hand in my face. I was too surprised for any kind of witty retort, so I just batted him away and got in my van. It was a pretty low-risk situation (I was about to take it off anyway, lmao) and it's been several days since then so I figure I'm in the clear, but christ, I can't even post what I hope happens to that fucker. Anyway, southeastern Wyoming is nice as well, never been here before.

Infectivity is always likely to be a competitive advantage IMO. Now, when we get this mixed with some high binding, baby, we'll really see some poo poo.  Though with the media response, we're on the path to seeing some poo poo and at least some folks in power may be realizing that.

Enjoy the alarm you're going to feel when you see what the CO2 levels are in your bedroom in the morning. A lot of apartments have just terrible loving ventilation. Steve Yun posted:600 is pretty good for having closed windows all day. Does my house have a draft or do I secretly have a chlorophyll mutation in my body You've definitely got a draft. Outdoors is like ~500 most of the time. The first night in my new apartment with both bedroom doors closed I woke up to like 2400. (for reference: that scene in Apollo 13 was probably the equivalent of like a 40,000-60,000 on the Aranet.) kazmeyer has issued a correction as of 03:14 on Sep 1, 2023 |
