willroc7 posted:Are there any good new data or studies out there regarding pediatric booster effectiveness? i haven’t looked very hard but I’m just gonna say "no there isn’t". the number of children boosted is vanishingly small, enrollment and control of any study is extremely difficult, and the interest in evaluating ongoing / "novel" efficacy has waned. there’s insane confounds given administration date, generally understood waning of circulating antibodies, etc. the new prevailing strains are divergent enough for it not to matter anyway. very generally: any recent shots seem to provide at least Some (unquantifiable) protection against severe disease, long Covid, and death. I also want to make it abundantly clear to you and all posters that your kids (or you yourself!) having Covid before DOES NOT MATTER. each subsequent infection is worse, any given infection provides transient partial protection at best, and the window looks to be roughly 4-6 months. this is similar to how it works for betacoronaviruses generally and the line of "hybrid immunity" has been an incredible falsehood from the outset. it’s a tough situation right now. a current booster probably won’t do much, but it might, and if you can finagle the new one immediately, it doesn’t look like there’s much to LOSE from getting them an available shot now.

dew worm posted:I still have a general "sick" feeling...waiting for more tests to deliver from amazon. I think a negative would help my mental health greatly. Thanks for asking. hang in there, it was not particularly "funny in a haha way" but funny in a lmao way that I tested positive for nineteen? I think, straight days. was feeling better after about seven.

i don't really thinkg this is covid related but my best friend's mom, something of a surrogate mom for me for twenty years now, also died this week. Glioma diagnosis 3 weeks ago and already gone it doesnt' exactly feel like the sharks circling but gently caress me. the emotional toll of turning 40 is worse than the physical.

redreader posted:What's the current rapid test wisdom? Specifically: basically you can't be certain about any of these things, except for: Swab your throat and then nose. Don't worry about... doing anything other than not eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes prior to testing. The eating/drinking thing is because acidic solutions in your saliva can mess up the chemistry of the test and pop fake positives. You probably won't have enough virus in you anywhere to really pop before at the very least roughly 2 days after you get got. Depending on the inoculant dose, the variant, your immune system's response, etc. I'd say 48 hours is the absolute earliest any test would ever detect anything. The story with RATs remains the same: positive result means you have COVID. Negative result means nothing, 3 negative results in series over a day or so means you're negative, provided you've appropriately isolated and not been exposed during that time.

Jort Fortress posted:My 91yo grandma has been stuck in a nursing home doing rehab the past 2 weeks after breaking her hip at home. Shockingly, both her and my grandpa are now sick with Summer Flu for the first time. Guess my grandpa had it so bad he was hospitalized the last 3 nights, and according to my uncle they didn't even test him for Covid, instead suggesting it might be bronchitis or RSV. They also told my uncle he didn't need to wear his mask in the hospital, lmao. I'm so sorry goon this poo poo sucks Just, so much needless suffering

AK-47 posted:Hey thread, got a quick question. My SO and I both caught covid at the same time/place and we're now at a point 9 days on and after a course of paxlovid that she is testing negative but I'm still positive despite feeling mostly normal again. Is there a chance I could re-infect her with the same thing we already had? We're just trying to figure out if I should be in isolation or how to handle being together in the same space. extremely unlikely, vanishingly so. if this was a thing you'd see endless ouroboros reinfection circulation within households

it's absolutely not ACTUALLY due to paxlovid exerting selective pressure but it's eerie how (also anecdotal, nobody has really confirmed a delayed test presentation statistically) it shifts to be maximally evasive lol

Not downplaying covid at all but cancer has been real bad in my circle. yeah i bitched about it earlier but my best friends mom started acting erratically while visiting family abroad. he and his father are doctors and were like "oh poo poo we know what's happening" and even given an immediate correct diagnosis and their combined insanely accomplished team of professional interventions three weeks later (Tuesday) she was dead of a glioma loving sucks I'm sorry goon, everything is just death nowadays

it fucks up your immune system across the board, the immune system helps keep precancerous and already malignant cells in check to a certain extent. no other crazy mechanism necessary. it doesn't CAUSE cancer. it just wrecks some of the body's ability to stop cancer

speng31b posted:I think the new thread rules stop short of making this off limits, but the spirit of the rule is to prevent just taking some public figure and speculating about their health. That avenue of discussion can lead to weird stuff. I probably wouldn't have brought it up at all except when I looked into the Paramore thing I found that they not only hadn't claimed to have COVID but also had recently postponed concerts and directly blamed COVID in the past, so it isn't even as straightforward a situation as just commenting on the COVID case of some random celebrity. Seems to be a pretty hot topic even in the "Paramore community" since they were viewed as a pretty COVID-cautious performer up until maybe last year? when you describe a person as a "public figure" it is an explicit framing of them generally being subject to speculation in this exact fashion. mawarannahr posted:i just reported a post for implying Biden has dementia and not a stutter. hth your work. exactly. i mean i know the goal of the wannabe cop babies who kramer into the thread, extrapolate one post into fantasies of the murderous hordes (?) of deranged, slavering health zealots (??), and then whine about edge cases for pages on end is to stop all posting, because why bother. Why bother posting anything at all. not every loving topic requires a Policy. there is literally nowhere else on this subforum that even APPROACHES the level of scrutiny that simple, boring posts are subject to here.

Why Am I So Tired posted:Exactly, nobody is "stockpiling" Paxlovid or encouraging anyone to blindly take it. It's once again a narrative manufactured by the people looking to get this thread shut down. They're deliberately and disingenuously interpreting casual language in the most bad faith way possible. It's "Lisa's going to marry a carrot" horseshit. I know, that's my point.

not to keep posting about posting but this is 80% an apology:Rosalind posted:Nearly every post I make here is interpreted in the most bad faith way possible so welcome to the club it sucks. Forgive me/many of us for being touchy, I'm sorry, because I've seen and appreciated your other posts. To me, not to speak for others, as a leftist poster and regular/frequenter of this thread, who has watched the material reality of the pandemic play out for the last 4 years now, witnessing someone rationalize their perspective by saying Rosalind posted:Paxlovid is free federally right now (and from what I've read there will be federal programs to keep it low cost even after it's not free in the Fall which is stupid and bad but I don't think it's going to be impossible to obtain for most people still) Is, on a good-faith read, doe-eyed and naive. A law or a rule made by the biden administration and the CDC doesn't loving matter, and it never has. JZSG made this point well: JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:lol america doesn't care if you get sick and die. protect yourself, no one will help you Your personal experience of third parties being somewhat-adequately served by the more-extant relics of a crumbling society is fine. It's not representative nor is it relevant to the larger point at hand, which is the question of whether We Have The Tools, as bedpan has pointed out. Nobody said anything about stockpiling or hoarding, and use of those words in your post is exactly what starts the goon telephone (hence my post and WAIST's reply, an accurate assessment) that ends up being railed against in SAD threads. In a bad faith reading, this type of blase just the facts ma'am rules-quoting gish gallop IS often used and has been used as a concern troll, in the past and present, by idiots to do exactly what is happening right now. it derails and frankly eliminates desire for participation in the thread at all. That's the goal. silicone thrills already made this point better than I could silicone thrills posted:There was another user implying that hoarding was going to take paxlovid out of someone elses mouth. anyway just post. cherries jubilee and that's it.

Phigs posted:I think, ultimately, people are just going to have to accept that this thread is going to be skeptical of medical authorities. We've seen doctors prescribing Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine and all sorts of quackery. We see doctors recommend against masking in public. We've seen doctors recommend cloth masks over n95 respirators. This whole entire pandemic is multiple levels of authority and the medical field showing its rear end. We're living through a horrifically, horrifically mismanaged pandemic. Listen to doctors is just bullshit in this climate. yeah further posters here always hedge suggestions with "check with your doctor if you're on any other even remotely risky pharmaceutical or if you have kidney issues" it's all bad faith readings all the way down, and again, literally nothing else is the target of this level of scrutiny here.

Rosalind posted:Thank you. I apologize for being a bit harsh in my replies as well.  thanks. Sorry again.and honestly the knee-jerk defensive posting parry-and-riposte style that a lot of "discussions" devolve to can be a big problem. a lightly-hostile shitpost that is funny and just basic bullshit in a CSPAM Tone risks being misinterpreted as a personal attack, but around these parts it's just the style. whether that's bad, I dunno, it's just been the thing. I can see a real... trend of late where it has gotten subtly worse, however, it's because there's an obvious attempt to just troll this thread out of existence.

Corrigenda posted:No serious physician is going to be recommending Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine. You should of course find a different doctor if your current ones say that. You should also report them to their board as no competent doctor should be prescribing those as a current course of care. Prescribing those is absolutely not the current guidance of any of the large medical associations. But if a doctor tells you Paxlovid is unnecessary for you then that is not wrong advice! please don't disparage doctors like this, they are all Very Serious You know what else is not the current guidance of any of the large medical associations? Wearing a face mask of any sort or ventilating fresh air in healthcare/hospital settings in the midst of an ongoing pandemic driven by an airborne pathogen What is though, is washing your hands.
