Can confirm, Pax is great and eliminated my symptoms fast. kinda sucks stopping both THC and CBD consumption for the duration I'm taking it but whatever, my long term health matters more here

Seems bad.https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/22/health/covid-hospitalizations-seniors-kids-vaccines/index.html posted:As Covid-19 hospitalizations climb, rates among seniors and children raise concern The juxtaposition of kids below 5 getting particularly hosed and the messaging from the CDC Director is - ngl - pretty grating. Anyways, she is right that children under 5 should get vaccinated. What's that you say? - no one is offering pediatric vaccines? Listen... we're all trying to find the guy who did this.

friend's entire household got covid this week. i convinced them to get paxlovid. so they did. then they told me that nobody was actually going to take it because mild. told me it was their 3rd infection and i think the implication was that they have built up immunity so they don't need paxlovid. i didn't engage, i just sent a few more messages begging them and their family to please take it easy for the next month. i'm so loving tired of this.

I talked to two triage nurses first on Tuesday night who tried to talk me out of paxlovid. when it got to my doctor on Wednesday morning he called it in at 8:01 am

Hope he makes a miraculously speedy recovery and his wife and family gets loads of help. A newborn is an insane amount of work without having one of the parents being out of condition. Reminds me that another internet personality, Physics Girl (Dianna Cowern), is still recovering from extremely, extremely severe long Covid. euphronius posted:“If you’re dying of Covid today, you didn’t take precautions,” Becerra said during a POLITICO health summit in June, Extremely evil, almost cartoonishly so.

emgeejay posted:chapo’s on hiatus due to matt christman suffering a near fatal medical emergency, described only as a “totally normal-style sudden medical emergency that happens to normal people,” which is a joke about people thinking he got epsteined but also mirrors the widespread belief that having major heart attacks or strokes at age 40 is totally normal these days. the folks on the recording don’t want anyone to be speculative little freaks, but they sound badly shaken up and I am too, and sometimes I just despair that we aren’t even trying to turn this around. his baby’s on the way this week. I listened to a couple of minutes of this and did not hear any mention of COVID. They said this incident happened Tuesday morning so they had time to think about whether they wanted to announce what it was and decided not to. So why the urgency to post this in the COVID thread? There are plenty of research papers with clearly-defined samples of patients with known medical histories linking all kinds of conditions to COVID so what is the value in posting about one specific incident that we know virtually nothing about now and maybe never will?

I just spent like $250 on another reader and some of their tests at the peachmedical price but I'm not even mad. If I can tell people yep, each test is 30 bucks, that will REALLY help with uptake.

Man I spent all day yesterday thinking it was Friday and checked the thread hoping for good Novavax news and now today IS Friday and it turns out they weren't even deciding Novavax today. I really want to hold out for it to be approved because the last booster I got really got me bad and I just don't want to deal with that again if there's an option available.

If your last booster was Moderna, it is generally said that Pfizer is much smoother. Also sorry for repeating bad information about the Novavax decision date :/

I did Moderna mains, Pfizer boost, and then Moderna bivalent boost. Each one has felt like it hit me progressively harder and I'm just not enthused to see if the trend holds for another round.

I agree that it’s a little odd to assume this is related to COVID and not, say, Matt’s prodigious use of various substances, but I’m also not sure how to talk about things like this in the future where the following facts hold: 1. covid dramatically increases one’s risk of stroke and heart attack and other shocking, fatal things 2. famous(ish) people occasionally have serious issues like strokes and heart attacks like, yeah, it’s dumb to say that every heart attack would not happen but for covid, but if we’re to live in a world where there are many more heart attacks than there used to be, where is the line as far as speculation goes? do you require a statement from friends and family implicating a recent covid infection, even as we're all now getting covid regularly? should there be a medical examiner’s report? is it just a matter of bad vibes? idk. my parents both had clotting issues after covid. one died. I have no proof that covid caused those things. what would that proof even look like at this stage of the game? am I wrong to feel like covid probably contributed to what happened to them?

Glad I went ahead and sought out my booster before Kaiser gets around to offering it, finally got this email spam today from them:quote:Kaiser Permanente members can get the updated COVID-19 vaccine at no cost at a Kaiser Permanente medical facility. COVID-19 vaccine appointments will begin September 27 for Kaiser Permanente members 12 years and older. Appointments for children under 12 will become available as we receive supply.

Gunshow Poophole posted:pax lo vid  eXXon posted:Brain inflammation made me smarter, actually. Considering that IQ tests are regularly recalibrated to reflect the current tested mean I guess this is actually possible, you just have to make sure you lose less intelligence than the majority of the population. One weird trick to have higher than average IQ! Edit: just in case anyone thought I was being completely serious, IQ tests are bunk for a variety of reasons. I've never done an IQ test and I don't ever intend to. But I do plan to avoid brain inflammation as much as possible

mdemone posted:I don't understand the ostensible mechanism of interaction. THC is eliminated thru the liver by the cytochrome P450 enzyme complex. ritonavir, the second drug in paxlovid, inhibits this pathway (a similar one for many, many other drugs!), in order to extend and maximize the time the first drug (nirmatrelvir, the actual Covid antiviral) stays in your bloodstream. it keeps you high longer, basically.
