North Carolina hospitals having capacity problems as well (video at link).

It highlights a thing that is important when looking at hospitalization rates due to COVID, while elective surgery was out, the capacity was higher. Now that they are back, it doesn't take as much. Despite what the piece says, of course the added ~350 COVID hospitalizations are the reason they go from some capacity, to no capacity.

it can't be covid because covid is over

it’s been back and forth between just ignoring it and freaking out. Another goon in the goon doctor thread really helped, he had the same thing (renal cell carcinoma) and it’s like the easiest cancer to treat so I’m not gonna die or anything it’s just very tedious waiting to do anything about it. I am quite concerned about getting Covid during the surgery tho. it’s gonna be close to see if I can get the updated booster before.

Had the same thing about a year and a half ago, took about 3 weeks to get into surgery but we're not in a major metro area. Big enough to have decent hospital services but not so big they're completely overwhelmed thankfully.

Good luck, hope it goes well for you, it did for me (so far).

In my case they took out the whole right kidney along with the softball sized tumor.

I'm trans as well. If you don't see the problem in extending what has been a massive, systemic failure on the part of many parties over the course of many years, to the issues discussed above in thread regarding Paxlovid I don't know what to tell you. They are not equivalent. This thread is very confusing.

How dare you compare a massive systemic failure on the part of many parties to the US's handling of COVID and COVID therapeutics.

I find it very funny seeing someone out in the wild wearing a surgical mask but dicknosing, it's such a wild whirlwind of decisions.

Also my anecdotal experience with scanning liver failure/mets so bad your liver is now just an apartment for cancer is that is one of the worst ways to slowly die.

Was in Memphis recently and saw someone at Home Depot double masked, cloth over surgical, and dick nosing. WTF are you even doing?

Yeah Epothex is the only one sold in the US, I got Betadine from Canada.
XClear has xylitol and a kids version and xylitol has shown to be roughly equivalent to iota carrageenan (70% reduction vs 80%) and it’s cheaper to boot and available in the US fairly widely (saw it in a local Walgreens and was surprised).

Mentioned before but xylitol is very poisonous to dogs.

Just got mine at Walgreen's today and it was the updated booster, asked and the pharma tech said they can't give out the old one anymore so if you're getting a booster from them it's the new one.

e: Checked and it's listed as COMIRNATY 12+ (COVID) 23-24 SDV on my paperwork.
