went to walmart, I guess this was the student return week because it was packed on a Sunday afternoon and all kinds of random stuff was sold out two people in the whole place wearing a mask out of hundreds, me and an old employee dude I saw going into the curbside pickup room on my way out cases are going to explode everywhere in the next 2 weeks because of all the students traveling

Animal-Mother posted:its so loving wild that there are doctors and nurses who are vehemently against ppe i went to orthopedics a few days ago to get a completely unnecessary xray so medicaid would approve a mri. one of the check-in guys had a mask, none of the nurses or people in the waiting room did, and the doctor was wearing a mask for the first time in like 6 visits so he was probably sick and showed up anyway it's loving orthopedics, most of the people there are retirees getting hip/knee replacements on medicare

fosborb posted:so where is the $190 coming from? retail cost is ~$120. is CVS throwing $60 overhead on a 10 minute shot? Walgreens quoted me $170ish giant fee is the natural end result of a broken system where pharmacies and local health departments have to guess how many doses they'll need, pay out of pocket for them, and then only get reimbursed for half the cost of however many doses they actually managed to administer quote:The federal government previously paid roughly $20 per dose for the first round of coronavirus immunizations. The updated vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are priced at $120 and $129, respectively, on the commercial market. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/4214770-new-covid-vaccine-campaign-off-to-a-bumpy-start/

Hungry Squirrel posted:I have slept in an Aura, as have three family members. It was a total non-event. Brisk walking in 90+ degree heat in one, though, sucked a lot. Auras are quite comfortable but the ones without the exhale valve do get a bit damp if it's humid outside if I had to wear a mask for more than like 2 hours I'd break out the elastomeric half-mask again, I wore that for the first summer and it didn't hurt my head/ears or get nasty inside. also way more tolerant of not shaving than Auras.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:That’s how you find and manage those conditions, there’s a reason high blood pressure is called “the silent killer” I didn't have a PCP until I went to urgent care for what ended up being a hernia, and the urgent care, ER, and surgeon were all like "you should really do something about that blood pressure" then I had to wait like 2 months for the appointment to get a $1/month prescription

I looked up novavax since I have to get surgery next month and the only guidance is "at least 2 months after receipt of the last previous dose of an original monovalent (Original) or bivalent (Original and Omicron BA.4/BA.5) COVID-19 vaccine" no idea what they're doing with your scheduling since the dosing for unvaxxed is 3 weeks apart and boosters just get one shot unless immunocompromised

Rescue Toaster posted:I think vitamin D is one that can get too high though, so you shouldn't just start taking a bunch of it. If you're wondering then ask your doctor to add it to your labs for your next yearly physical or whatever. you have to take like 100x RDA for months to get side effects from vitamin D, vitamin A is the one that fucks you up (don't eat too much liver) I didn't know I was deficient until the doctor ordered the full blood test and then my garbage insurance made me pay $400 because they only covered the basic one

kazmeyer posted:If it is a more restricted network the trade-off is that all but one of my prescriptions now cost precisely zero dollars and that includes my asthma medicine which is bonkers expensive at retail. Nothing like seeing "plan pays $1192.50 you pay $0." my basic-rear end albuterol rescue inhaler was the one thing I encountered where my lovely employer insurance wouldn't pay for it they made me pay like $60 when I was supposed to have a $20 copay (apparently uninsured was $70 at the time) and then some months later the insurance sent me a check for $40 saying "this should have been approved but wasn't" then some more months later a notice saying "previous payment was in error and now you owe us $40" but I didn't pay and nothing ever happened

They will be shrieking about how school closures harmed kids a decade from now. Local radio here ran a bit about how the city school district "fell behind on services to disabled students by 600,000 hours and still hasn't made up for it." there was a segment on NPR the other day about "chronic absenteeism" in public schools and how to address it of course covid was not mentioned a single time
