CIDRAP: Evolving peak SARS-CoV-2 loads relative to symptom onset may influence home-test timing The New Normal: Delayed Peak SARS-CoV-2 Viral Loads Relative to Symptom Onset and Implications for COVID-19 Testing Programs Figured this is useful information for people to know to calibrate their decision making process on testing: “Median SARS-CoV-2 viral loads, as measured by polymerase chain reaction cycle threshold (Ct) and antigen concentrations, rose from symptom onset, peaking on the fourth or fifth day of symptoms. Estimated rapid antigen test sensitivity was 30.0% to 60.0% on the first day, 59.2% to 74.8% on the third, and 80.0% to 93.3% on the fourth.”

But that's not how they're being used and we don't have access to them to use them properly unless we pay out the rear end out of pocket SixteenShells has issued a correction as of 17:29 on Sep 29, 2023 |

also incredible given that the messaging has been "well if you're worried just test and if you test negative you don't have covid and it's perfectly safe to go visit your grandmother in the cancer ward of the old folks home and give her a big kiss and then stop at applebees for dinner, also you get like two free tests ever so make sure you use them as sparingly as possible! wouldn't want to waste them testing repeatedly across multiple days!"

Strep Vote posted:Kid woke up with a sore throat and big old lymph nodes. Hopefully it's just strep! PANDAS is short for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections. A child may be diagnosed with PANDAS when: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), tic disorder, or both suddenly appear following a streptococcal (strep) infection, such as strep throat or scarlet fever. The symptoms of OCD or tic symptoms suddenly become worse following a strep infection. The symptoms are usually dramatic, happen “overnight and out of the blue,” and can include motor or vocal tics or both and obsessions, compulsions, or both. In addition to these symptoms, children may become moody or irritable, experience anxiety attacks, or show concerns about separating from parents or loved ones. What causes PANDAS? Strep bacteria are very ancient organisms that survive in the human host by hiding from the immune system as long as possible. They hide themselves by putting molecules on their cell wall so that they look nearly identical to molecules found on the child’s heart, joints, skin, and brain tissues. This hiding is called “molecular mimicry” and allows the strep bacteria to evade detection for a long time. However, the molecules on the strep bacteria are eventually recognized as foreign to the body and the child’s immune system reacts to the molecules by producing antibodies. Because of the molecular mimicry by the bacteria, the immune system reacts not only to the strep molecules but also to the human host molecules that were mimicked; antibodies “attack” the mimicked molecules in the child’s own tissues. These antibodies that react to both the molecules on the strep bacteria and to similar molecules found on other parts of the body are an example of “cross-reactive” antibodies. Studies at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and elsewhere have shown that some cross-reactive antibodies target the brain—causing OCD, tics, and the other neuropsychiatric symptoms of PANDAS.

just opened up my aptitude metrix box. jesus, this seems lux. hope my insurance will pay for it like they have been with luciras. if not, i guess $30/test is cheaper than PCRs and the results are available way faster, but it'll very much have to be a high stakes situation sort of thing.

Tried out the metrix reader today! worked pretty seamlessly. My sister in law came over, had her spit in the sample tube. removed the reagent cover, snapped it in, plugged in the reader and it took the full 30 minutes to come out negative. we chatted with masks on until it popped green. Slid the little reagent sample thing out, tossed it. put the reader away. easy peasy. highly recommend a++ Its a very easy to understand and consumer friendly design.

Another win for “it’s like the flu” - there is no communication on potential side effects, even though they definitely seem more intense. I have a little bit of muscle soreness across my body at +2 days but sounds like I got off pretty easy. I did look for what Pfizer reported for reactogenicity and didn’t look like they measured that? Moderna did thou and said it’s “the same or lower” than their bivalent so  I just have to tell myself it’s better than getting COVID and if I end up with an ultra rare side effect then it was more likely to happen when I probably get Rona’d in like 2 months.

Finally got a Pfizer just now!  I now can see why there isn't enough doses going out at all. They stopped using vials and they're all coming in pre-filled single use syringes. Kinda a bit fancier now, I assumed that we were still doing the vials

Insanite posted:https://twitter.com/NIH/status/1707416897371996233 Ok, this sounds bad. quote:In the study, researchers focused on older people with fatty buildup, known as atherosclerotic plaque, who died from COVID-19. However, because the researchers found the virus infects and replicates in the arteries no matter the levels of plaque, the findings could have broader implications for anybody who gets COVID-19. But are we absolutely certain it isn't lockdowns infecting and replicating in the arteries??
