there are plenty of rich and powerful who are hiding their long Covid suffering, but there are also plenty of rich and powerful who have publicly stated that they have long Covid and are miserable and it’s in one ear and out the other with the general public. there is no shortage of articles about them and none of them get much traction except with the Covid conscious crowd, which is not a great ad demographic

never forget that the founder of Texas Roadhouse ate a gun rather than deal with LC.

Covid got scrubbed from any mention of Meat Loaf's death when the big three TV networks covered him

Radio and online news sources, and TMZ, mentioned it. ABC/CBS/NBC did not.

Our Walgreens guy told us that the scheduler doesn't take into effect how many doses are coming so schedule slots + available shots are completely independent. Sounds like a great system

Same with Mark Lanegan, even though he literally wrote a book about COVID putting him in a coma and almost killing him.

Lanegan died at his home in Killarney on the morning of February 22, 2022, at the age of 57. No cause of death was revealed.[98][105]

I’ve gotten the Moderna and 2 boosters of the same. What is current best practice for shot 4 with evidence behind it? I saw someone saying to wait for paxlovid. I’m gonna mask up at work again with my n-95 stash. As far as I know I’ve avoided COVID at all, through luck and a lot of caution during the first couple years. But yeah.Is there any really compelling evidence to wait on the vax or try a new one, or should I just go with whatever’s available?

Some are waiting for Novavax as the wildtype version held up better against variants than the mRNAs. There is a meeting on Friday to decide if it gets approved.

Edit: Paxlovid is a therapeutic, so I am pretty certain you mean Novavax.

I want you to maybe stop and consider whether this utopic vision of a mass disabling event that somehow only affects the powerful and causes them to rationally reorder society to meet their needs is reasonable or actually really loving stupid.

more likely we'd get movement when enough poo poo themselves over loss of their reserve army of labour anyway. Which they should have forseen and prevented ever happening, but the current generation of capitalists is the dumbest it's ever been.

Also be advised the rollout has been an absolute clusterfuck, so even if you get a booking, it might be worthwhile to call ahead and check if they actually expect to have doses. If you are using insurance, also check that.

If you do not have insurance or are underinsured, you need to go to the bridge access program site and look up participating places, here: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/programs/bridge/index.html

Naomi Wu has been selling a 4-pack kit of small 222nm Far-UVC lights, but they're apparently constantly on backorder. I was finally able to order them, and they've just arrived.


Here's a front view of one of them. They came with a charger but it'll take any USB-C cord.


It also came with a nifty case to carry them all

Not quite sure how I'm going to be using these yet, but at the very least they seem like they could be helpful at things like dentist appointments. My wife and I are on the same page when it comes to covid, but if we weren't I'd definitely be bringing these with me as I engaged in spreadsheet-avoiding activites.

There's more info about the lights here, and you can put yourself on the waiting list if you are so inclined.

Oh.

I thought there was enough demand for at least one company doing home pcr/naat tests. Especially since they seem to be doing things right from a business standpoint. They got their monthly subscription service cooking, they got that slick presentation that makes the upper middle class feel special, they've diversified into dick pills, plan b, and even apo-b tests which are all the rage nowadays. Never enough I suppose.

So what's this thread doing for testing nowadays? Several antigens? I'm not sure what to do, so I made a meme:
