yes!

until mom caught covid!

and then i drove them home from the airport!

to the house we all live at!

but at least we all wore n95s on the drive home and i had a window rolled down! not window(s) because only one window in the car works!!

anyway. my mom has a contraindication that can't be worked around so paxlovid is out the window. and her doctor told her that it doesn't matter because paxlovid only exists to "make you feel better." then told her to keep taking the drugs the walk in clinic doc gave her in NYC which all are not named paxlovid, remdesivir, or molnupiravir.

yet another doctor who needs to lose his loving license

antivirals don't just make you feel better, they suppress the advancement of the infection

Nice article on Paxlovid, Paxlovid prescriptions and Paxlovid vs long COVID.

The rebound concern trolling, holy poo poo.

To wit, "hmm some patients have COVID symptoms after the paxlovid course is complete, better not prescribe it at all"

unreal

"Hmmm it works when the patient is using it. We better not use it!"

Anyone have any tips for making an aura more comfortable … ? I’m at work sick because hospitals are ftw and I’m already getting a headache from wearing one. If I crimp the bridge of the nose for an actual seal it blocks me from breathing through my nose and makes me really nauseous so I have no idea if I actually have source control. Would be cool if I had a normal job where I could just stay home whilst sick.

try a vflex

I'm serious, if that's the problem you're having with the bridge of your nose try a v-flex

great point

I was really just referring to domestic research on spread through counties, states, etc with varying strategies of state intervention. not to mention that plenty of research has been done on how covid escaped attempts to contain it, with our (weak) state intervention front and center

the fact that epidemiology exists and has been looking at spread of disease generally for much, much longer only makes the lie worse

I should have known how covid was gonna go, having already known about the death panels propaganda.

Like, what do people think insurance companies do everyday? Instead we did a total projection where we say other people are doing the thing we're doing. At least with a death panel, there's a reason, not just "We're denying a statin just because and it's on you to proof to our satisfaction otherwise" without even the complication of dealing with someone who is terminal, it's just the business model.

I completely wasn't thinking about that direction regarding covid either, despite how obvious it should have been looking back

it just seemed at the time like this Big Medical Political Issue would be different. Even Donald Trump was up there telling people this was a serious thing, months and months after the rest of the right had peeled away into conspiracy land

(poo poo I'm not even sure that the weirdos have converted him about covid yet. sure he's weird about vaccines and autism, but that didn't stop him from stumping that covid is actually really important and getting vaccinated would materially help)

Trump aside, for a while it seemed that everybody was taking this pretty seriously, I wasn't thinking about how far into bad faith the antivaxxers would take this, or how successfully they would penetrate and convert one -- and then eventually both -- major parties in the United States

some new maskers are definitely just sick lol but some new maskers just do it "when things get bad." i know someone who's kinda moderate re: masking most of the time but started masking indoors absolutely everywhere minus her house starting the day after thanksgiving because, as she more or less put it, it's covid season. yes yes it's covid season all the time but i think there is some truth that it's super extra covid season right now, and i think that explains some of the uptick we'll see probably from now til like february in lots of places.

Ok need a lil help here.

I got Moderna back in September and was wanting to get Novavax'd this week since it's about 3 months out (which is what I remember is the timeframe for good efficacy of mRNA shots).

Got a call back from CVS where the pharmacist cancelled the appointment because:

-covid shots are now a "yearly" shot and my mRNA back in Sept counted for it
-my insurance wouldn't cover it because of that

Is there anything I can specifically cite to say they're full of poo poo and gimme my goddamn shot?

I only seem to recall that there was some drama about the Flo masks a long time ago, what ended up actually happening? Did they falsify their niosh certification or something?

i'm seeing it invoked more than ever, which is weird given that we're now at least 2+ years out from anything resembling a lockdown

It's like someone still hollering about 9/11 sincerely (if you haven't met anyone like this, good for you)

Using UV to fight the pandemic virus is smarter than almost everything there is.

Using UV to fight COVID is stupid, because COVID is the disease, and once you have it, UV can’t do anything for you, weird Trump monologue notwithstanding.

clearly, the fault lies with a couple of weeks of not going outside quite as much several years ago, rather than the extraordinarily virulent novel coronavirus that it turns out plays every trick in the book that coronaviruses have for evading immunity that also induces a superantigenic response that fucks your naive immune cell count in every reputable study that's surveyed population of various immune cells through the timeline of acute and post acute infection
