Teabag Dome Scandal posted:Wife got pax through her PCP and I got it through Sesame Care. I'm very relieved they only told her to stop the medication that interacted rather than forbid Paxlovid entirely. Sucks that it is something worth congratulating, but congratz! Hope you and your wife get a speedy and full recovery

watching unseen enemy for class and had to walk away from the computer when laurie garrett said "endemic is your worst case scenario. you failed to control the outbreak, you failed to control the epidemic, and you failed to control the pandemic. and now that microbe is a permanent feature in the biological landscape that humans are living in." https://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett/status/1683532033048322048 at least she seems to hold the line that endemicity is Generally Bad. wish the rest of public health still felt the same

icantfindaname posted:Welp, looks like I was exposed again yesterday. Using flo spray, and briefly, but how long do I have to be on guard for if I got it? Up to two weeks? Should I bother rapid testing even in a day or two/2-3 days after exposure, or wait more than that? pretty much all the current variants, as far I'm aware, have a much faster onset than wild type. median onset time is like 3.5 or 4 days? after a week you're almost certainly in the clear

Cheers! Yeah, they're just testing everything against the spike protein again. Outbreak.info is slow updating the more recent sequences, so the comparisons below are only based on the first nine of the submitted BA.2.86 in GISAID. It's a little maddening to me that people are just ignoring these other sites where BA.2.86 is clearly very different from what's currently circulating and going "it's fine". Focusing on just S/S gene/Spike protein shouldn't be good enough anymore.   E = E gene, Envelope protein M = M gene, Membrane protein N = N gene, Nucleocapsid protein

The app, packaging, design, it's like from an alternate universe where Apple released a COVID test. The app itself integrates nearly flawlessly with the hardware, which is not something that is easy to do based on other IoT products I've purchased. $55 PER TEST what the gently caress

Just to be sure, negative pressure in sick room, positive pressure in clean room. Fan pointing outside in the room with the virus, air moves out of the house. Fan blowing from outdoors into the room you want to keep safe.

oo filtertalk! I got a merv15 and charcoal filter, but I also got an oversized filter box, so it's 20x20x4" for moar relative surface area. Basically the same idea as the secureclick p100's being double-sided.

Have there been published standards for vaccine access this Fall, or are we still waiting on those? I remember Offit making similar comments during those early meetings when they were deciding which variants to target, so he's definitely involved. 75 or older is new to me though. Could have sworn it was 65 before.

They supposedly haven't had a wave there since may last year. But I was told that SA had world‐class surveillance of disease. Snowglobe of Doom posted:In most countries delta pretty much shot up to 100% of the sequenced variants and stayed there, shoving aside every other variant along the way. But if you look at SA's graph you can see that something has been keeping delta from going full 100% and it was even losing ground throughout October. That last data point was back on Nov 1 when delta gained some lost ground and shot back up to 97% so who knows what happened in the 3 weeks since then. Platystemon posted:Yeah but B.1.529 only got sequenced ten times. Platystemon posted:Update on this: it was and it was bad, folks.

It's been so hot here the past week that it shouldn't be much worse than what we're already used to. You might cool most of the house but keep one bedroom as a safe room with the vent blocked. Use tape and plastic sheeting to get it airtight, not just the louvres. This will keep your sick partner comfortable and keep the heat a little more manageable for you, with two or three cool interior walls adjoining the bedroom absorbing heat and a cool (and dehumidified) common space for cooking and such.

If in 2019 I suggested to anyone in the field of medicine or anything adjacent to it that we’d have the equivalent of two to ten severe flu seasons per year, every year for the foreseeable future—a death toll that easily places it top amongst all infectious disease and perhaps as high as malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDS combined—and that we should do nothing about it, they would consider this to be stark raving madness. Now it’s considered mad to care. Platystemon has issued a correction as of 11:03 on Sep 6, 2023 |

Zantie posted:Cheers! Yeah, they're just testing everything against the spike protein again. Either some convergent evolution is going on, there are sequencing artifacts or it seems like BA.2.86 and BA.2.86.1 both managed to seed the world simultaneously and in good time.  This at least seems to mesh poorly with ba.2.86.x being unfit. Pingui has issued a correction as of 12:54 on Sep 6, 2023 |
