West Virginia stopped reporting them a month ago.

New Mexico has only reported one since July.

and Minnesota only has 6?

I don't know what things are like with the current variants or how pax plays into things, but in earlier studies, the vast majority of people weren't shedding culturable virus after like 10-12 days post-symptom onset.

I just think if her immune system successfully reacted to and eliminated / cleared the current virus im presuming they both had, she's good to roll at least for a few weeks. Serum antibody concentration persists for a while it's like 4 months and then it declines

Not sure about pax and viral load / shedding either.

I assume she�s safe from the same variant for a few months, but who knows with the Sinister Six of variants out there. I think the cases of people getting reinfected in 3 weeks might�ve been because of different variants

i've done this with a couple friends, some places end up being a not-bad deal per-person/per-hour (the place we went ended up being i think about $8/hour for each of us?), but it depends on the host, and some come with nice little extras. worth a look if anyone's in a still-warm-ish place and thinks a swim / bbq / hot tub / bonfire might be a nice time and [like me] have none of those things themselves.

https://www.mypanhandle.com/health/coronavirus-pandemic/coronavirus/covid-19-cases-spike-statewide-but-no-one-is-talking-about-it/

tldr: lol, lmao.

quote:

We asked the Bay County Health Department to talk to us about the apparent spike but were told they didn�t know anything about it. They referred us to the State Department of Health for comment. We called the number provided and held for 30 minutes before hanging up.

Neither of Bay County�s major hospitals returned our calls. We checked with some local pharmacies to see if more people were getting vaccinated. They told us they weren�t giving COVID vaccines and didn�t expect any new vaccine until October.

Not that they have any meaningful recommendations for what to do, but I'm shocked local journalists actually made calls about it and moreover say the pandemic isn't over. I do not envy the person who takes viewer/reader phonecalls--going to be a busy, angry day for them.

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.

This worries me in general. For some reason ppl have always loved to pick fights with me. I can handle myself but that makes some men feel like they have to prove themselves.

I guess I have a rebound case, I tested positive via rapid PCR for COVID today. I can�t stand this poo poo anymore, loving sick of it.

Sick of all of it, the government and the irresponsible assholes who go around sick. I don�t want tk be sick anymore or a risk to anyone in my house.

sorry man. a recrudescence of symptoms and positive testing in the second week happens in a similar rate in both paxlovid and non pax cases. There�s not a lot of evidence you are contagious during that time period (though precautions are still a good idea) and it�s hard to know if your meds had anything to do or if this is just natural course of disease.

I tested negative by day 5, tested positive again at day like 8 or 9, felt sick again for a few days, kept testing positive until day�16? had cardiovascular dysregulation for about 3 weeks total measured by my whoop. then ran the Boston marathon 3 months later. So hopefully everything will work out and also I�m sorry you are going through this.

Federal appeals court revives lawsuit against FDA over COVID-19 ivermectin messaging

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that a lawsuit against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over its campaign against the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19 can continue, reversing a lower court decision.

Three doctors sued the FDA last year claiming that the agency�s anti-ivermectin campaign went too far, overstepping its authority and acting more as a medical body than a regulator.
(..)
The FDA�s campaign, which included viral signs reading �You are not a horse,� emphasized agency recommendations that ivermectin � an anti-parasite medication often used for horses but sometimes prescribed to humans � should not be used to treat COVID-19.
(..)
The three doctors said their reputations were harmed by the FDA campaign because they promoted ivermectin use. One doctor was suspended from a hospital, while another was fired from a medical school.

Mary Talley Bowen, one of the plaintiffs, celebrated the ruling Friday.

�A small win, or at least a step forward, in a monumental battle to protect the doctor-patient relationship from government tyranny,� she said. �ONWARD!�

Thanks, but I have a test. My concern is that they'll insist that because my kid is twelve he's not at enough risk to write an rx, and I've been asked not to lie beyond saying he's unvaxed so I can't insist that he's a diabetic smoker.

It's not about being on camera, it's about navigating the loving gatekeeping. HiDrB just told me they "couldn't move forward" when I entered the kid's dob even though he's twelve and over 88lbs.

I had thought there was a document on using the telehealth sites to get pax that someone had put together. Seem to remember references in earlier threads. Guess I'll go throw money at the other options and hope they don't take it and tell me to gently caress off.
