Covid cough is usually dry. If it was nasty and sloppy she might have just had COPD.
it's being reported that EG.5 can be associated with a productive cough: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/covid-cases-eris-symptoms-variant-b2391394.html

My brother works for a transportation company and had a similar problem with a newly constructed supermarket which had a ramp down to the unloading dock but they couldn't tell him what the roof clearance was, so it was unclear whether a semi trailer could actually fit down there. They actually requested he "just get one of your semis to back down there and see if it fits" and were pretty miffed when he lmaoed at that suggestion

lol. when did this happen?

You will note their framing is (paraphrased): "it is similar to Omicron. Omicrons symptoms are these."

So I am reasonably confident they are referring to this:

Theoretically yes but everything being a single-use disposable ended up with people wearing loving garbage bags for PPE and storing disposable n95s in little paper bags between shifts since they were too precious to be thrown away and there was no provision made for like a closet full of elastomerics and paprs in the basement to fall back on when the poo poo hit the fan

sounds inefficient. it's better to rationalize toward just in time PPE provisioning.

Is carageenan spray supposed to sting? I was using an off brand for a while and it would sting, now I got the flo travel name brand and it doesn't. Am I doing it wrong, either before or now?

neither Flonase flo travel nor betadine brand has done this, and I believe they might have the same or higher active ingredient concentration.

never got epothex. but Betadine is a brand name that's been around forever and I trust them a little more probably

Using Betadine and same, no burning. Betting it’s some cheap preservative.
here's epothex

quote:

Ingredients: Purified Water, Sodium Chloride USP, Disodium Phosphate, Benzyl Alcohol, Monosodium Phosphate, Benzalkonium Chloride, Iota carrageenan

flo travel nasal spray says it's preservative free but don't have the ingredients handy

and here's betadine

quote:

Medicinal Ingredients (per mL) :
Iota-Carrageenan.......1.2mg
Sodium Chloride........0.5%

Non-Medicinal Ingredients:
Carrageenan, water.

so epothex has a ton of preservatives in it. but I can't say if that's good or bad.

my blood pressure has been pretty consistently high for a few months now, 130+ SBP in medical settings, so my cardiologist had me get a home monitor to do daily tests for a few weeks, using the "five minutes of quiet and rest before a test" protocol.

the first few times it was 140+ SBP over 80-85 DBP, which is pretty high. then i started drinking 6-8oz of beet juice in the morning and it's gone down to 120- SBP over ~80-82 DBP.

it's hard to control for everything of course — food, exercise, rest, time of day, and so on. i'm sure there are many factors. i'll probably try cycling back off it and see what happens. just figured i would mention it on the endothelial health front.
it's nice you can bring it down. I can't so i'm inhibiting my ACE2s with lisinopril with few side effects, good experience. if you have to take meds it's not so bad.

I mean Hayley hasn't claimed that the cancellation is based on COVID. In fact she said her condition was not contagious. And they have a track record of cancelling shows in the past year and just coming out and directly saying it's because of COVID. So maybe they're lying now because the Metallica case scared people badly enough who have previously been honest about that stuff? Idk.

Paxlovid is absolutely not safer than Tylenol lol... Like yes if you intentionally take too much Tylenol it will destroy your liver but Tylenol taken at normal doses is shockingly safe.
contraindications are shockingly widespread though. it's the top cause of acute liver failure in the U.S., but you know that.

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!

you're advising people to ignore their doctors and not take prescribed medicine & doctor shop for another one. are you a medical professional who is qualified to interpret the guidance? who are you to judge doctor competence?

Has she tried novavax? Anecdotally the responses to that are a lot milder.
I would like to, personally. I got all the other rounds as fast as possible but it's gonna be about a year since my last dose of Moderna and I am not excited. I've almost never felt so hosed up. it you add up all the days I guess I've been on my rear end for 9-10 days from all the shots so far. I didn't get COVID yet though.

I feel like I developed a mild tickle in my heart that persisted for like a month after my second round of Moderna (although my first vaccination series was Pfizer). A doctor in America and a doctor on turkey said "oh yeah it's probably the Moderna," Turkish doctor told me never to take Moderna again. Lol
