Spinz posted:Suggestion: with what we know now, go to the dentist. I MASSIVELY hosed up by not going soon after I was vaxed. Gum disease is increasingly linked to a whole host of co-morbidities, so it's not just for the sake of fresh breath. Go get em done. Most dentists are pretty cautious anyway, given the whole "our job creates a ton of aerosols". They're all masked to hell and back, and usually only letting in one patient at a time.

Kirk Vikernes posted:I was surprised when I took my twin boys for a check-up and being in Indiana, I didn't expect any Covid precautions anymore. However, their dentist still requires masks and was only letting people in the building by phone or text. It was a pleasant surprise and made me feel much better about taking them. To my understanding they have already have high rates of lung disease from sitting around and inhaling tooth dust all day, so no surprise they don't want any outside help turning their lungs into pudding.

Blitter posted:30% of recent cases are breakthroughs You're kind of leaning in the same base rate fallacy direction as the article you're complaining about. 30% of recent cases on its own just tells you that they have a high rate of vaccinations. It doesn't say anything useful about the efficacy of the vaccine against delta because you're missing a denominator or two. Now if they had said, "30% of those who are vaccinated and exposed up with a break through infection", then yes, the numbers would be much grimmer. The higher the vaccinated population, the more breakthroughs there are going to be in the vaccinated population vs unvaxxed, just simply because there are a lot of vaccinated people out there.

I remember people posting links for some online stores they can vouch for when it comes to decent n95, any chance they can again? (Might be worth adding some to the OP too, as I checked there first and others might do too). Naturally, I don’t trust Amazon. This guy went all in on N95s at the start, and is now getting screwed as Uncle Sam decided the domestic N95 manufacturing base it was trying to build up is no longer important. https://www.armbrustusa.com/ I've ordered a bunch of their masks and am quite happy with them.

Crackbone posted:TL;DR: We hosed? He's not a fan of the herd immunity approach to endemic status. Evidence is pointing toward COVID killing cumulatively, each infection (even mild) layering on more damage, until suddenly you have end stage renal disease. They're starting to see signs of kidney/lung damage in even asymptomatic folks, and it adds up over time. There might be a lot less pearl clutching over the next 10-20 years about stem cell research. In the meantime, unless we get good anti-virals (protease inhibitors) or a vaccine that sterilizes (keeps you from spreading it), we may be heading toward a mass disability event on the scale of polio. https://twitter.com/dgurdasani1/status/1435694962641879042 Raskolnikov2089 fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Sep 13, 2021 |

Big City Drinkin posted:It's very likely that non-olds don't need the boost. Simpson's paradox is hard at work in all these efficacy reports, illustrated very nicely in this worked example showing (i) you have to stratify by age to understand what's going on, and (ii) the boosters really do help old people and don't really do anything for young people: https://www.covid-datascience.com/post/what-do-new-israeli-data-say-about-effect-of-vaccines-boosters-vs-death-critical-severe-disease. It's based on the Israeli data. Good call out, but deaths aren't the only metric to consider given the prevalence of long covid in even mild infections. I'm not worried that I need a booster to not die, or stay out of the hospital. My best bet there is to stay healthy and exercise. Avoiding long cv is my big goal, at least until there are some decent anti-virals on the market.
