we have the tools (to fight RSV)
https://www.ajmc.com/view/cdc-announces-shortage-of-nirsevimab-used-for-rsv

currently going through the ringer trying to get my 2mo RSV vaxxed~~

quote:

According to the CDC’s announcement, there is a limited supply of nirsevimab from the manufacturer for the 2023-2024 RSV season, with prefilled syringes of 100-mg doses in especially short supply. Although the shortage of of 50-mg dose prefilled syringes is not as severe, supply will likely be limited during the RSV season. The CDC is working with the manufacturer on strategies to boost the supply of nirsevimab, but in the meantime issued several suggestions for both health care providers and the public on how to adapt to the shortage.

how could we have predicted significant demand for what was heralded as a gamechanger in winter infant hospitalization reduction

i pop over to the AM bands to check on the right wing stations now and then and yeah they're still tilting at the covid vaccines even though the vast majority of people are avoiding them now. they won this fight pretty thoroughly, but that's still not enough I guess.

It's been brought up here but any and all public health or vaccine mandates is the next step. They'll find a way to overturn Jacobson v. Massachusetts, and in the end every and any public policy decision will boil down to a personal consumer choice. And as everyone knows, all personal consumer choices are equally valid. Mask or not! You do you!

I was slow and got in during the sign-up period so it wants to send me to a telehealth visit before giving me anything. I'm not sick, I just want the free 'script on hand so that I have it on hand when I DO get sick and can't get a local hook-up. Does the telehealth visit actually mean talking to a person, or is it just a series of webforms?

I just did this. I never signed up for test2treat before, it was all a series of webforms, not even a picture of a positive test needed. A box of pax should be at my door in 1-2 days. Insanely easy. We have the tools if you use them now and have niche information on where to find them!

Guy from work did some flights/hotels for meetings last week and yesterday sent us all a message that he "must have caught a bug while traveling" because he didn't get out of bed on Sunday and was taking Monday off because he still felt terrible. The idea that it may be COVID or that he should even test for COVID didn't even cross his mind.

did you tell him to talk to his doctor

The US state abandoned efforts to prevent respiratory disease among it's population as a result of the contradictions that emerged during the first waves of COVID. The ruling class after a period of panic and intra-class struggle decided that the new infectious respiratory disease was a problem they could live with, even as it continued decimating workers. This makes marking the "end" of COVID sort of impossible. COVID is now going to be a leading cause of death, but it's no longer extraordinary. This situation is untenable long term because the public hasn't actually accepted COVID deaths, they have just been convinced into denying they exist.

The US has a ton of existing contradictions also causing death and destruction, which in it's own weird way helps cover up the return of deadly and disabling infectious respiratory disease. The treatment of COVID is untenable long term, but so is US policing, imperialism, and the biosphere.

holy poo poo, that test2treat.com site just mailed me Paxlovid, straight to my door, no cost, no pharmacy visit, and no phone call. the entire process was just "fill out the web form" and then three days later it's waiting for me outside my front door.

to access this service I just applied for the free tests from test2treat back when everyone else did, used the backdoor because they had shut down signups at the time, got my 4 rapid tests in the mail from them, and then clicked through on the follow up emails where they were like "get telehealth based on your test result".

this sent me to a site called eMed. the web form asked if I was positive and whether I had a test photo or not (I said no). the form kept going, there was even open-ended part to message them with, where I just wrote "no questions" since I know the drill. finally their partner pharmacy "GoGoMeds" mailed it straight to my house.

so it sounds like everyone can do this right now to get another $1400 pax box, provided that test2treat.com doesn't lock you out of signing up in the first place. are new people still having success with that?

i took 10 days and am very glad that I did knowing that they're about to recall all the nation's "extra" doses and dump them in the trash

Thank you for this hot tip! Got a box on the way to my door, easy peasy.

Does either a yes or a no on the longterm conditions form disqualify you from Paxlovid through test2treat? Not that they'll use the site since COVID is over, but I have friends who do and don't have them.
