can't find any CVS or Walgreens locations that are vaccinating <5s and have bookable slots anywhere in greater boston. pediatrician's office isn't doing covid shots, but they sure are blasting us with "time to get your flu shot" emails. lol.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/511217/americans-covid-concerns-rise-restrained.aspx Somewhat interesting. Gallup posted:Thirty percent of Americans now say the pandemic is getting worse. This is up sharply from 5% in Gallup’s prior measure in late May/early June, and 8% in February, and is the highest rate of pessimism about the pandemic measured in over a year, since July 2022. Pessimism still isn’t close to the overwhelmingly negative outlook seen in 2020, however, when as many as 73% said the pandemic was worsening. Gallup posted:About one in four Americans also now say they are either “very” (4%) or “somewhat” (23%) worried that they will get the coronavirus, while 36% are “not too worried” and 37% “not worried at all.” Gallup posted:All party groups are more likely now than in May/June to say the coronavirus situation is getting worse, but Democrats have grown particularly negative about the trajectory. The percentage of Democrats who believe the situation is worsening has jumped 38 percentage points this quarter, from 6% in May/June to 44% in September. This contrasts with a 17-point increase among independents, to 22%, and a 13-point increase among Republicans, to 16%. There's some data on mask use toward the bottom, too: Gallup posted:Slightly more than half of U.S. adults, 55%, report they never wear a mask outside the home, while 45% do so to some extent. Of the latter, just 6% say they always or very often wear one, and another 11% sometimes do, while 28% say it’s a rare occurrence. Insanite has issued a correction as of 21:15 on Sep 21, 2023 |

The lockdowns were one of the greatest public health successes of the 21st century, saving millions of lives. But no politician will say this because it'll kill their re-election chances. The policies surrounding the lockdowns were also one of the largest upward wealth transfers in history. The inability to talk frankly about this is creating a vacuum that's being filled by the belief that covid wasn't a big deal, and that it was going to go away on its own if we hadn't reacted to it.

Oracle posted:buy her an account Our doc knows of my COVID-aware refuges exist! Had to explain how I already had my own CO2 monitor handy while she's telling me about seeing Aranet's online. She's got some posting skills too, crossed paths on social media making GBS threads on local government stuff related to infection controls. But I don't think she's had her first crack-ping yet, she's far too terrified of the future to find any humor in it. I'm still spreading the gospel of Only Your Respirator Trust elsewhere, too. One of my co-workers confided today she's been badly sick twice in the past 4 weeks and kinda regrets her vacation flight which clearly got her the 2nd time. I turned on my work camera and brandished my 3M Secure Click, talked N95s if you want to be less conspicuous in public, and lastly Betadine nasal spray if you have to go maskless for stupid social reasons.

Saagonsa posted:A walgreens participating in the Bridge Access Program tried to charge me $182.99 for a covid shot. A bridge too far. I was initially signed up for a covid shot and a flu shot, but apparently Walgreens doesn't take my insurance (?) and they wanted to change me $70 for it. And I'm sure this is a thing that has happened to everybody before but it's just loving unbelievable, really. The biggest pharmacy in the country can just go, "nah, we don't do this" and that's just considered normal. gently caress this dumb country.

yoloer420 posted:I've been looking into this more and it seems there has been some success using a modified open source colorimeter to obtain results from a PCR test. It is also used unmodified in this kit/course. It is surprising that there is no shortage of open source/diy PCR projects which only address the thermocycler component of the process. I'm not sure what that's about. As for colorimetry vs fluorescence and why the former seems more common in DIY settings, the optics are pretty simple, and cheap, for colorimetry. Not so for fluorescence.

Soap Scum posted:seems pretty common that the pax taste gets much weaker after day 1 or so. good luck :') Mine came back after every dose. Oh well, I'm done with it now and just hoping for no rebound. First test 12h after finishing thr last dose is negative so hopefully that continues. Also, my wife was actually able to get a PCR test nearby, covered by insurance and with results in less than a day. Meanwhile, work is canceling extracurricular social events and encouraging people to wear masks when it's crowded.

Oh figured I should update that as far as I can tell my kid didn't have covid, no other symptoms but congestion ever manifested, I tested her with 3 expired luciras (by about a month) and 2 in-date luciras, all negative. The expired ones a day after I noticed her symptom and the in-date ones 2 days after. With her likely exposure having been 4-5 days prior at that point. I did have HEPAs running, spray up my nose, and masked up until the final negative test. At that point I unmasked and it's been 5 days now and I don't have anything going on with covid. Ideally I should have kept masking at least until my vaccine appointment for perfection but TBH it's exhausting to mask in your own home non-stop. Anyway she hates the nasal swabbing so much that I'm debating buying the Aptitude Metrix saliva tests for one bajillion dollars.

helsabot posted:going home for christmas means i should time my booster for how far ahead? If you have any level of exposure right now, waiting is probably not a great call. That said, going by earlier boosters you are pretty set after ~2 weeks and cap out after ~4 weeks. How this relates to the updated vaccines no one knows

Substantial drop in the efficiency of Paxlovid at preventing hospitalization, relative to initial results, possibly due to vaccinations and prior infections reducing inherent risk. Hopefully not because of differences between variants (as the author alternatively suggests). "Nirmatrelvir or Molnupiravir Use and Severe Outcomes From Omicron Infections" https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2809779 posted:(..) Article on the matter: https://www.forbes.com/sites/willsk...eventing-death/ posted:Covid Drug Paxlovid Now Less Effective Than In Early Trials—But It’s Still Great At Preventing Death Though molnupiravir's effectiveness holding up (iirc, it was the ~same as here) offhand suggests it is a variant difference, this could alternatively be down to differences in when and to whom each one is prescribed.

Bastard Tetris posted:fMRI if I remember right Unless someone has done something very crazy in my field, I don't think a functional scan will show something. There may be a PET thing that will bind and glow with for tau, but that's not my field. In the past I think it's definitely been a post mortem thing - you strain the tissue ( that is, you bathe thin brain slices with something that sticks to tau proteins) and this stain can be seen/glows, etc.

Walgreens COVID Vaccination Signup Trip report logged into my Walgreens account to get a vaccination appointment. no where in the account actions is there a way to make this appointment. there is, however, section of the "your health" display that shows what vaccinations are "recommended for you." The recommended vaccinations are: flu, Hepatitis A/B combination, and whooping cough. Thankfully, the walgreens homepage has a link to a "schedule vaccination appointments" feature. After entering in information that I know Walgreens already has, I am shown what seem to be the top 5 recommended vaccinations with more hidden below a dropdown. The recommended vaccinations are in this order: flu, COVID-19, pneumonia, shingles, and whooping cough. to keep things easy I pick only the COVID option. If I want to get the vaccination in September, the only day available is September 28th at a Walgreens 13 miles from my home. The next available day is October 3rd at a Walgreens 14 miles from my house. I live within five miles of four Walgreens none of which were available. Exactly one minute after I close the browser after not making an appointment, Walgreens sends me a text message reading "Keep on your journey to good health. Finish scheduling your appointment today!"

Surgical masks are so passé. Pingui posted:Though molnupiravir's effectiveness holding up (iirc, it was the ~same as here) offhand suggests it is a variant difference, this could alternatively be down to differences in when and to whom each one is prescribed. My first thought is that people getting Molnupiravir were probably shunted to it because they are on serious interacting medications for chronic conditions, and thus had more to gain from any antiviral. One of the studies out of Hong Kong avoided this pitfall by only looking at patients who were eligible for Paxlovid but were nonetheless treated with Molnupiravir.
