The "no evidence that [new variant] is more severe" bit seems an awful lot like the cookie cutter "I have tested positive ... will isolate and WFH ... I am grateful to be vaxxed and boosted" tweet that we see over and over from public figures who haven't yet figured out that they no longer need to tell anyone when they get COVID.

I got Cain's Jawbone for Christmas, a murder mystery puzzle novel that's about 100 years old, where every page is printed out of order. first challenge is getting the pages back in order (every page ends on a complete sentence). second challenge is correctly identifying the 6 killers.

very interesting rabbit hole about Ritonavir’s (ingredient in Paxlovid) history as an HIV treatment, how its molecule changed shape, making it less effective and forcing a recall and reformulation

https://www.tiktok.com/embed/7323709701248617771

apparently they discovered a third molecular shape for Ritonavir in 2022

edit: so should we be concerned about paxlovid not being very shelf stable/hoardable?

There is something off about the news item I posted below and I don't think it is true. As far as I can tell from other sourcing there are only 19 co-infections noted.

That said, they are getting swamped and with DENV3 spreading worldwide, this is not great:
"Pre-dominance of dengue non-cross-reacting SARS-CoV-2 spike antibodies during the Omicron era and their role in the ADE-mediated surge of Dengue virus serotype 3"

https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.08.23295136v1 posted:

ABSTRACT
In India, the SARS-CoV-2 Delta wave (2020-21) gradually faded away with the advent of the Omicron variants (2021-present). Dengue incidences were observably less in Southeast Asia during the active years of the pandemic (2020-21). However, Dengue virus type 3 (DV3) cases were increasingly reported in India and many other dengue-endemic countries concurrent with the progression of the Omicron wave since 2022. This observation prompted us to investigate the current state of cross-reactivity between prevalent SARS-CoV-2 variants and different DV serotypes.

Fifty-five COVID-19 serum samples (collected between January-September, 2022) and three pre-pandemic healthy serum samples were tested for DV or SARS-CoV-2 Immunoglobulin G/Immunoglobulin M (IgG/IgM) using the lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs). The SARS-CoV-2 antibody (Ab)-positive samples were further tested for their ability to cross-neutralize DV types 1-4 (DV1-4) in Huh7 cell lines.

Cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 and DV diminished with the shift from Delta to Omicron prevalence. COVID-19 serum samples that were DV cross-reactive neutralized all DV serotypes, including DV3. However, Omicron wave serum samples were predominantly DV non-cross-reactive (about 70%) in LFIAs and coincided with the prevalence of BA.2 Omicron variant. They also cross-neutralized DV1, 2 and 4 but enhanced DV3 infectivity as evident from increased DV3 titres in virus neutralization test (VNT) compared to control serum samples.

In conclusion, DV non-cross-reactive COVID-19 serum samples are becoming increasingly prominent in the present times. These non-cross-reactive serums could neutralize DV1, 2 and 4 but they are contributing to the surge in DV3 cases worldwide by means of ADE.

With ER full due to respiratory illnesses, Kaiser Roseville offers patients treatment at other hospitals

Kaiser Roseville has an increased number of patients as a result of flu, RSV, and COVID-19 and is offering patients the choice to go somewhere else for treatment.

A CBS13 viewer wanted to know why they were offered treatment in the Bay Area at instead of in the Kaiser Roseville facility in town. CBS13 reached out to the hospital and an infectious disease specialist to learn more about hospital protocol when emergency departments are near or at capacity.

In response, Kaiser Permanente sent a statement that it was a "mischaracterization" that patients were not being turned away to other hospitals. Instead, when the emergency department is full, the hospital will offer patients the chance to seek treatment at another hospital.
