The aged care facilities here in Australia are getting whacked by covid again: Twitter link Meanwhile the news media is starting to realise something might be happening and is publishing articles about how a new covid wave might be "approaching" https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11-01/covid-cases-rise-updated-facts/103044762 Cloth mask, lol E: I just noticed that the ear strap is tangled in her earring

Shady Amish Terror posted:It is, ironically, probably easier to get through the forms if you're uninsured if number 3 is a factor. Lucky Ducky strikes again I went back through and marked "uninsured" and it let me sign up, lol. But I foolishly didn't say that I was Covid positive, so I'm only getting some rapid tests.

I'll never understand that one. Ok, Tony comes out tomorrow and says "I admit it. I invented covid in Montana" He's put on trial and will be in prison for the rest of his life. Now what.

Covid is no big deal, just a cold, and also we need to put Nasty Tony in jail forever for inventing it.

VA cohort study says Paxlovid doesn't reduce long COVID risk, but...quote:Design: So reduced risk of stroke is just about the only significant long-term benefit, albeit in an older male cohort (but it seems unlikely that a younger, healthier cohort would have fared any differently, no?). Some commentary here: quote:The study suggests that otherwise healthy people infected with COVID might be wasting their time if they take Paxlovid to ward off long-term symptoms, said lead researcher Dr. George Ioannou, director of hepatology with the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle. Ah well, nevertheless. Maybe there's hope for that new(er) Japanese antiviral Ensitrelvir/Xocova? Except it doesn't seem likely to become available outside of Japan anytime soon or ever? e: re the last bolded point, there's a UK trial using remdesivir for 100-odd really long COVID patients (2+ years of symptoms, yeesh).

FuturePerfect VideoGames posted:VA cohort study says Paxlovid doesn't reduce long COVID risk, but... It would be more accurate to say the study didn't see a statistically significant effect in the cohort. I posted the study a few days back with this comment: Pingui posted:The results are interesting, but I am not a big fan of the count starting at day 31, though I can understand why they did it. Mainly because CVD outcomes tend to happen within those first 30 days. It should be noted that these are non-hospitalized at the day or day after of testing. It should also be noted that a lot of the negative results come down to the confidence interval, potentially indicating an underpowering (see graphic).

A timeless, relevant video https://twitter.com/chrisburke/status/1240014593830903809?lang=en It's kind of cute how people were so outraged about this. The official policy of the most progressive president since FDR is that it's your fault if you die lol.

end of list. This study is targeted at a specific outcome/timeline that is irrelevant to the obvious positive benefit of gettin paxed up immediately, it should not dissuade you from doing so. It may be unfortunate that there are no significant different outcomes at 31+ days but... if you're 20? 40? 80? percent less likely to be dead, who cares. I'm also reading your post uncharitably because unfortunately any "negative" or "non-positive" outcome of studies like this will be interpreted and run with as even more reasons to not take the efficacious treatment at all.

Funny prank: Tell someone that he should wear a mask around his teammates while he's sick. He actually fell for it! What a chump!quote:Several players played cards in the back of the plane, a common pastime for those who ply their craft in America's pastime. Mac Scherzer, who was dealing with a stomach bug, was one of those players. This, Jacob deGrom decided, provided the perfect opportunity to pull off an epic prank. DeGrom discreetly asked the flight assistant, Missy, to tell Scherzer to wear his mask if he's going to play cards so that no one else would get sick. Missy, per deGrom's direction, told Scherzer the request was coming from the Rangers manager, Bruce Bochy. If Scherzer was actually sick with something contagious, this "prank" might have contributed to their winning the World Series.

Pingui posted:It would be more accurate to say the study didn't see a statistically significant effect in the cohort. I posted the study a few days back with this comment: Fair enough, I need to read it more closely. I figured you would have posted it but search + hazy recollection of a few hundred posts I skimmed through on mobile to catch up failed me. Gunshow Poophole posted:I mean, OK, but also ? I didn't say or imply not to take pax. Even the lead author's quote isn't making a recommendation for or against, more saying to think twice if your only goal is not to get long COVID. Personally I would take it again because reduced strokes and the result from the sadly canceled clinical trial where literally nobody who took pax was dead from any cause after 6 months are good enough for me, and pax mouth is tolerable.

If you literally think covid is a government bio-weapon why aren't you trying not to get it? I've heard "it's not the same people who think it's a bioweapon and who also say it's just a cold" (ehhhh, I think it usually is!). But musk here is a perfect example of someone who is holding both thoughts simultaneously. I guess they can also have the doublethink that any weapon that comes out of china sucks. Even though in that case they are also undoubtedly afraid of china and want to quadruple defense spending to protect us from "communists".

Well props to the guy for wearing it without a fuss. Just goes to show most people will accomodate if you just ask them to and mask mandates are a good thing even if it pisses off 10% of people.

My test2treat doctor said that state law (Maryland) requires a telephone call to begin any sort of treatment. The phone tag was a bit obnoxious, but it was extremely quick and painless once we actually connected. Other states might have similar requirements that would require more than just filling out a form or sending an email to get the prescription.
