I’ve been wondering, since Covid can travel through your system through your blood, why can’t you catch Covid from a mosquito bite? is it to do with how it attaches to cells?

nexous posted:this is basically word for word for ivermectin too Nah, it's more diabolical than that. Ivermectin's people cramming down formulations that weren't meant for human consumption and eyeballing dosages and weird poo poo. With Metformin-- imagine you go to the drugstore and on the shelf there's Tylenol A and Tylenol B. You have a headache, so you take two Tylenol A. In a little while you feel better, and maybe feel a little less existential dread and go about your day. But if you take two Tylenol B, in a little while you feel better, maybe feel a little less existential dread, and then an hour and a half later you develop IBS and Chron's at the same time. The hilarious part is when drugstores started doing that thing where they'd offer a list of drugs for free to get people to be customers, Metformin was usually on that list and 99.999% of the time it was the gut-bomb version. My doc told me tons of people would get her to change their script so they could take advantage of the free meds and then call her back two days later in a panic.

Washington State Cases, Hospitalizations, and Deaths info will be delayed as I figure out how to import the new downloadable files. The DoH changed their website to now include Flu and RSV. Wastewater data now has a section for variants as well! New url for all the new dashboards: https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statist...-data-dashboard

But then a more recent analysis said 2022 was actually the worst year in recent memory for excess deaths and at least a third of them were directly due to COVID? So whatever stats were juked didn't actually help make covid more mild.

U-DO Burger posted:its advantage is that it can infect mosquitos Anyway, iirc the blood levels of SARS-CoV-2 are not terribly high, maybe in the thousands to tens of thousands of copies per mL. Or rather, single-digit to double-digit copies per microliter. Not easy to transmit that from person to person in a tiny insect bite. Whereas, say, bubonic plague bacteria reach the tens of millions of copies per mL, which is what is necessary in order to be transmissible via flea bite.

Washington state's wastewater update covering the past three months using the state's downloadable excel report and supplemented with scaled National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) data when available. Solid lines are from WADoH data and white diamond dots applied to scale are from most recent CDC/NWSS data (if available).

Glumwheels posted:Is there any guidance on when to get the new shot if you’ve had COVID? Especially if you’re immune compromised? in general there's sorta conventional wisdom that you should wait two or three months, but a lot of that is predicated on an immune competent (e.g. not suppressed) body having recently cleared an infection and so therefore having high levels of circulating antibodies already. getting vaxxed absolutely reduces your risk of getting Covid regardless of your immune suppressant (article here for example), and honestly the official guideline is phrased as a "may consider" delaying vaccination rather than a hard line "no vaxx if sick" statute. this is a lovely answer but if you want that slut juice imo (also I'm a dirty public health bastard not a doctor) go get you some.

Recently finished reading "The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide". It examines from an America-centric view how lower classes in contemporary capitalist society are disproportionately impacted by infectious disease epidemics and public health burdens generally. A central point is that individuals in the "viral underclass" are made vulnerable to disease and other health risks by society but critically are blamed for their own precariousness and diminished health. The book is organized so that each chapter discusses a factor perpetuating the viral underclass such as capitalism, ableism, the US prison system etc. It also follows in particular the story of Michael Johnson, a member of the poor black gay viral underclass, and their highly publicized criminal prosecution for transmitting HIV. Overall the book is fairly fine. There's a lot of good information, but nothing very novel or controversial. It's a little unfocused and preachy in places, but not too much. It's worth reading as a recap of the intersection of class and public health, though not essential. IMO reading Necropolis is more relevant towards understanding the trajectory of the COVID pandemic + how and why the profit motive will always trump public health, despite it describing a society 150-200 years in the past.

I'm coming to the sad realization that I can't do backfill of hospital admissions anymore, as the new data downloads for Washington state are as of a % of total hospitalizations (without giving the total for me to divide into) and total hospital beds taken per week. Hospital admissions means that if someone gets hospitalized for COVID-19, regardless of how long their stay is (two days or three weeks), it will count as '1'. The change to average number of hospital beds taken per week means that if the person from the previous example was only hospitalized for two days then it's <1 for that week, but if their stay was three weeks then the average number of hospital beds taken will be 1 but for three weeks in a row. The change isn't necessarily "bad" but it is frustrating that they don't have plain admittance included in parallel. It might also mean that there will be less backfill, though obviously we won't know till next week how much of the historical data changes. I'll cobble something together as a 'starting' point and go from there. It just sucks that hospitalizations can't be compared to any of my previous updates  [edit] I might be able to use the CDC hospitalization data from https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#maps_new-admissions-rate-county. I'm going to see how it compares to my more recent WA DoH data and if it's about equal then I have my substitute I guess. Zantie has issued a correction as of 06:21 on Sep 14, 2023 |

Pink Mist posted:Are there updated stats on how effective RATs are? nothing in a way that justifies changing how you should treat them. a rapid test targets a nucleocapsid protein which is relatively highly conserved variant-to-variant. so same as usual: a positive means you're deffo positive, a negative means you should test another 2-3 times to be reasonably certain
