kreeningsons posted:Did Enovid end up being legit? Enovid has roughly the same amount of evidence that it's roughly as effective as iota carrageenan nasal sprays. I think the snake oil accusations weren't due to its effectiveness, but to it being priced at literally ten times what the other sprays cost iirc. If you already have some, it won't hurt to use as an extra layer in addition to masks (or as a hail mary in cases where you can't mask), but once you use it up don't waste money buying more, just buy the seaweed spray instead.

Rochallor posted:You can just buy epothex from epothex dot com, that's about as secure as you're gonna get when it comes to online stuff. They have a bunch of brands, make sure you're buying the iota carrageenan one which is the sticky stuff. Ah I hadn't heard of epothex. Thanks! Will check it out.

I just got my jab (at CVS, covered by insurance, I'm living the dream). I'm exhausted, which is my usual state of existence, but I'm also beyond hungry. I'm a pretty light eater but I've had three dinners so far and I'm thinking about seeing what else is in the fridge. Is ridiculously increased appetite a known side effect, or is just an unrelated thing?

Is the Novavax shot that's currently awaiting approval expected to actually help block (even asymptomatic) infections rather than just easing symptoms? Or are we going to have to wait for nasal vaccines to be able to feel safe (or at least safer than today)?

first move tengen posted:Is the Novavax shot that's currently awaiting approval expected to actually help block (even asymptomatic) infections rather than just easing symptoms? Or are we going to have to wait for nasal vaccines to be able to feel safe (or at least safer than today)? There are not many expectations to the Novavax shot beyond being a better fit to current variants than the old wildtype version, as well as possibly given a broader, more variant resistant immune response than the mRNAs. Sterilizing immunity is sadly not expected.

I’ve been in a lot of risky environments for work functions, traveling with higher ups, conferences, etc. and I was maxing enovid whole time and I’ve been covid free. ever since that study about mouthwash came out I’ll gargle some CPC mouthwash as well on my work trips.

Well poo poo, I was just googling to see if the updated shots will be available in Australia anytime soon and it turns out they don't want to give me any more shots at all this year. They recommend that everyone 75 or older get another booster shot and that anyone 18-74 who is immunocompromised should consider getting another shot but everyone else who already got a shot earlier this year is poo poo out of luck:quote:For younger people or older adults without severe immunocompromise who have already had a dose in 2023, no further doses are currently recommended. Their baseline risk of severe illness is low if they have already been vaccinated, and particularly if they have also had prior infection.1 Therefore a further 2023 dose will offer little additional benefit even if it has been more than 6 months since their last dose.

 That is a very heavy and difficult thing to process and I don't know of anyone who could handle that well, and I wish I could offer more than a silly hug emoji. I'm in a similar predicament and the best I can say is, if you're that scared of hurting your loved one again, then you'll find avoiding things that could lead to that again, are suddenly going to be much much easier to cut out of your life, like traveling as you said.No one is gonna be free of this pandemic for a good long while, we're all on this roller coaster together.

. On the one hand, being sick only once in 3.5 years is not so bad, but I know that in this particular case, I could have stopped it as this was largely an unnecessary trip. poo poo sucks. I love traveling, but this experience might have finally knocked the travel bug out of me. I suppose it's for the best.

eXXon posted:....one of two hours spent playing hockey indoors and unmasked. I mask in the change room (nobody else does) and the one time I brought an aranet inside it was 1500+ppm while the rink is ~500 for the fairly obvious reason that it needs to be ventilated to stay cool Yah, one of my kids friends plays hockey seriously, and caught it repeatedly in those first 2 years, apparently from the rink. It is kinda weird, because a huge ventilated space, right. But here is a study saying that the air is stagnant right at head height. https://ysph.yale.edu/public-health...door-ice-rinks/ Also maybe something with the cold air in there making the virus more stable. But now you got me worried about how applicable this is to climbing gyms and those tennis domes. (hope you got an easy one and get better soon!)

This loving sucks. I got boosted in August but Mrs Parasite has some international travel planned in November, so we'd decided she should hold off boosting until a few weeks before she leaves. It really loving sucks that a bunch of unelected unaccountable bureaucrats play stupid games like this.

I think it's pretty clear there are better and worse times to do Stuff. Wastewater where I live says that while things were quiet this summer, they are just   right now.Note, I'm certainly not advocating going Open Biden, since even "quiet" times aren't, uh, silent.

Cretin90 posted:any goon preference on Moderna vs Pfizer for 2023-2024 vaccine or SSDD (same poo poo different drug)? On the one hand Moderna has outperformed Pfizer in most things due perhaps to it's larger dose size. On the other hand, doing the old mix n' match or heterologous boosting I believe has also been shown to have some benefit. So it's kind of a choose your own adventure, coin flip, what does your local provider have in stock for when you want the juice, thing.
