Guys, you want to be testing yourself whenever you feel off and immediately get paxlovid. It's all anecdotal I know, I've been reading on social media and one trend that popped out at me is that EG.5 (or whatever variant this is) has a nasty onset timing. Most people get a slight sore throat or tiny cough and test positive, but the symptoms are very mild so they thought it was nbd. Until around 5~ or 6~ days later, that's when the illness immediately hits you like a tsunami wave with severe symptoms. One described his throat being so sore and painful they can't even swallow water without being in pain

redreader posted:About the new boosters: I read somewhere that the new boosters would just be last year's boosters again but unsure if that's real or not. if that's the case though then I think it's better to get them right now for myself, since my kid just started school. I suppose kids can't get another bivalent yet? Nah, the new upcoming booster will be a monovalent designed for XBB.1.5.

Buffer posted:I seem to remember the medical profession arguing with physics over fluid dynamics in order to not label covid airborne. It was not a good look. The medical professionals were right. We needed a randomized controlled trials in order to justify anything before we do it. Like physics is all based off numbers and math which doesn't even exist in real life! It's madness to believe in something that's just all in our head. Like how do they even come up with the max load for bridges? By calculating from the materials in the construction and the design? Please. They should just build one then drive heavier and heavier trucks until it collapse then we can just rebuild it and place what we now know is the max load.

Buffer posted:They did have a point here - you should only ever listen to your doctor(s), not goons, regardless of which forum they're on or what credentials they claim Listen to your doctor would be a good advice if healthcare wasn't so hosed up.

Nothus posted:The morning news is telling me that malaria is just the flu, mild, and probably endemic so don't worry about it. But also take prophylaxis drugs if you're traveling to an area with endemic malaria, which That reminds me of when we had few cases of West Nile down here the news emphasize that there was only few, it's difficult to spread and not to panic. On the local subreddit, there was couple of comments that it was just overhyped, mild, and nothing to worry about (thankfully they got massively downvoted). It wouldn't be long before all insect-borne diseases get the mild treatment since it's way too hard for any agency to do any public health initiatives on something endemic NeonPunk has issued a correction as of 15:53 on Aug 21, 2023 |

Rosalind posted:I'm also skeptical of the idea of paxlovid being something limited only to the "rich and connected." When my parents had COVID earlier this year, they called a free hotline from the state of Washington, were prescribed paxlovid via a telehealth appointment, and had a prescription waiting at their pharmacy within 30 minutes. Again all of this for free. They also offered free home delivery. I know many other states have similar programs that are still operating including NY and CA. Please don't make the mistake that many people make and assume that all goons are posting from deep blue states. There are plenty of goons who are in deep red states and non-americans.

It's going to be really loving hilarious when the virus evolve a new subvariant that carries the paxlovid resistance and spread widely, rendering the drug ineffective and the entire current litigation over it is gonna be total pointless lol

But I kinda do wonder since we've been finding it in wild places so spread out across the globe, has it been spreading for a while before it was detected? Not a good feeling with the various huge number of mutations out of nowhere.

I fuckin hate wearing an n95. my nose immediately gets runny and I have to breathe through my mouth it sucks That shouldn't be happening unless you're using a fresh mask right out of the wrappers. Next time just open up a n95 and let it air out a bit first before putting it on and you'll have a much better experience

I might not have to booster bandit for the updated xbb shot! Earlier this week got an company wide email about the upcoming health fair we'll have in the third week of September. Just ignored that because we always have that every year and it's honestly just boring. But my direct boss just contacted me this morning telling me that I'll get some time off so I can attend and if needed we could work a schedule so my entire group can go and check it out and get our shots. Asked her what shots were we gonna get and she didn't know, just that her own boss emphasized it was important. We don't do that for the flu shots and I really doubt we're getting the RSV shots so hoping it's the xbb shot 🙏

floffytoffy posted:Question regarding getting an elastomeric. Most websites have sizing charts which involve measuring one's face. Should I be using a tape measure or ruler for this? Results will differ since the ruler isn't curved. Last time (and unfortunately I don't remember which method I used to measure) I ended up with a Dentec that absolutely did not fit, so just wanted to confirm before making the same mistake again. Use a tape measure. Unfortunately there isn't a universal standard for measurements. so those sizing charts is only good for those same brand they came from. It's like women clothing, a store might have a size 10 pants, but the exact same person in other store is labeled size 14 You said Dentec didn't fit, how did it not fit you? Was it too small, too big, too wide, too snug on your nose or leave gaps across your cheekbones? NeonPunk has issued a correction as of 19:27 on Aug 25, 2023 |
