It has been awful busy for me this month but I'm sure everyone already saw that study showing that Covid antibodies causes ADE for dengue. https://abc7.com/pasadena-rare-case-of-locally-acquired-dengue-mosquito-illness/13946501/ Now this is kinda concerning. I know it's better to be environmentally conscious but that kind of news makes me want to get the most powerful mosquitoes pesticides and just spray it all over me

Cross-reactive antibodies != ADE Given how many people have dengue antibodies in the world, and how many of them have gotten Covid, we'd probably have noticed ADE at this point.

Cross‐reactive just means that the antibodies elicited by one thing stick to another thing in some way. It can be a useful way, like antibodies to vaccinia virus cross‐reacting with variola virus and protecting against smallpox. It can be a pointless way. Vaccine candidates wash out of trials like this sometimes, like antibodies bind to parasites that cause malaria in the lab, but in animal trials, the subject still gets full‐blown malaria because we weren’t targeting the critical stage of the plasmodium lifecycle. We were in effect closing the door after the horse had bolted. It can be a harmful way. The four serotypes of dengue are the classic example of this, but it doesn’t follow that any sort of crossreactivity to dengue is going to increase disease severity. Like for example we do have a dengue vaccine; the cross‐reaction there is good, compared to second distinct infections of wild dengue.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I mentioned a while back that flesh-eating buruli bacteria ulcers were endemic here in Melbourne Australia and the numbers were increasing every year. In the last 12 months we've had 378 confirmed cases, with 40 cases in my local area I'm about to move house, and the memory of this old post of yours is what made me decide to ditch my current bed frame and get a canopy bed (specifically so I can hang mosquito netting from it). It's mostly about just not getting bitten at all (I'm one of those people with tasty blood, apparently, so it's not uncommon for me to wake up with 20+ bites each morning in summer). But there was also definitely an element of 'if we're going to start seeing weird mosquito-borne diseases more in Melbourne, I don't want to wait until I get an official warning to protect myself'.

talked to 80 year old granny-in-law today. she's going on a cruise. gently asked if she'd got her updated covid shot. i made peace with everyone living their lives, not going to beg her not to go. her doctor didn't recommend the updated covid shot for her the tools we have

I always hear the phrase "talk to YOUR doctor" Do people actually have there "own" doctor they see regularly? (self.NoStupidQuestions)quote:Obviously I dont mean a personal doctor like rich people, but does anyone actually see the same doctor multiple times?

I mean, if, on a population level, the primary purpose of primary care doctors is to have someone regularly check blood pressure and make sure the population don't go all Scanners, aren't most people who don't have high blood pressure or some other trivially managed condition going to find their docs loving useless?

"My" doctor is whichever one I'm able to get an appointment with at the local hospital system. Since it's a teaching hospital, that usually means it's a late-20s intern who will have moved on to a more permanent position by the time I go back for another checkup.

The quality of my doctor unfortunately is purely the roulette of which resident I end up getting. In a 10-15 minute appointment, the amount of time they actually address the medical condition that is most seriously threatening my life is about a minute. In a way I kind of understand because there isn't a ton they can do about it but it makes the rest of the titanic deck chair shuffling more than a bit frustrating.

It's Sunday, so this white paper run-through based on a May 11 conclave, from The American Journal of Managed Care - Evidence-Based Oncology is brought more or less in full. https://www.ajmc.com/view/covid-19-fallout-on-individuals-economy-and-health-system-to-last-for-years-white-paper-concludes posted:COVID-19 Fallout on Individuals, Economy, and Health System to Last for Years, White Paper Concludes Needless to say the oncologists should seek professional help for their mental issues, but it is nevertheless interesting to see their speculation on COVID induced cancer.

A word of caution on this piece, as I am not entirely sure I trust it. MDPI has had controversies as a publisher, though a quick googling makes it seem more due to their marketing than the published research. It should also be noted that the results are from Russia, so vaccine in this context is specifically Sputnik and Russia hasn't exactly been hyper stable in the time period measured. Overall I would encourage taking it with a grain of salt, until results have been shown elsewhere. With these caveats I have decided to post it due to the subject matter and due to the contents of the conclave mentioned above.

That’s how you find and manage those conditions, there’s a reason high blood pressure is called “the silent killer” People also need a professional sometimes to push them into addressing unpleasant truths, eg erectile dysfunction being a gateway to getting men in for heart disease care

BusError posted:Just got back from my local annual tabletop gaming convention. Quite a few more masks than I would have expected, and of those, a shockingly high number were N95s! I guess if any population is going to do their homework and have better than average risk/reward calculations, that's where I'd expect it. Bummer they weren't required, but my expectations are so far down in the sewer at this point that I'm happy when I see any effort at all. Honestly no one should go to conventions without a mask at this point, people always get sick at those anyway so might as well take advantage of how masking isn't seen as you being insane now. Like being able to go to pax and knowing that you aren't going to be sick for three days after getting back is worth wearing a mask while there

My wife forced us to stop masking and go on this revenge travel trip to Florida, 7 days at Disney and universal studios plus 2 travel days. State Started feeling like poo poo and tested. Two minutes in: 3.5 years COVID free until this poo poo. We got the new booster the week it came out. Yeah i know it doesn't prevent infection.

Sure do wish we had a competent government that would shut down airlines, amusement parks, hotels, etc. so that people never even get a chance to make terrible decisions that put themselves and society as a whole in danger. Oh well.
