Steve Yun posted:welp a friend got Covid at dragoncon, got shortness of breath, called sesamecare and got told to tough it out and that they’d prescribe him an inhaler i was so nervous on my call with them and was about to list all the things wrong with me but then the doc was just like alright so it's 5 days course this is what you do etc etc oh your wife's appointment is next? alright lets do that too it felt good not having to persuade the doc during that call, guy was just handin' em' out like candy Oracle posted:So the thing with all these online services is that they're basically portals doctors/NPs can sign up to provide care through, and YMMV as to the quality of a doc who is willing to sign up to a health care portal to take on patients sight unseen. I've heard of people being told they should take ivermectin through some of these more than once, for instance, and some seem like they just want to help people who might otherwise be shut out of the traditional health care system. Just note the ones that seem sane and reasonable, check ratings and see if you can't specifically choose them on a future visit vs letting the algorithm decide.

The Oldest Man posted:RATs detect the nucleocapsid protein which is highly conserved; they still work just fine. The problem is people aren't swabbing right or are expecting miracles that they could never provide in terms of pre-symptomatic detection. i went through 3 different RAT test brands all with varying expiration dates when i was positive and they all popped all doing the low & slow technique

Coffee worked well for a friend who didn't want to use candy/dislikes sweets. Though obviously coffee before bed is uh less than ideal

I thought this was interesting, as it explains the reduced tendency towards anosmia and parosmia. That the cells don't produce virions is imo extremely interesting and a unique takeaway that might explain why other research concluded that cells weren't being infected.

"Consider wearing a mask, especially in a crowded indoor setting" I love this language. It always sounds to me like they're asking you to momentarily consider, in the abstract, the concept of mask wearing, before continuing normally with your day. As if engaging this thought process has its own protective qualities.

"There's this perfect person just off camera that wants me to do this, but folks, I'm just like you, I like to not wear a mask and I like to eat ice cream and I love my country, and if that's wrong I don't want to be right" Like, bro, that guy you're folksily defying doesn't exist, and if he did he'd work for you. This isn't some cute little foible, you didn't sleep in half an hour on a Saturday or have a french fry, this is fairly important
