COVID-19: OhMyCronus!

The latest counsel is saying the only way to know if you have a flu, bad cold, or Covid is testing. They are all exhibiting the same symptoms. So I guess the Covid shits has largely gone away?

 

Not yet but he does a few articles of clothing when he forgot his. I tolhid them to give them to me well after he recovered.

I think a hospitalization will be the only way to quarantine him. It comes down to him being a former Marine, plus his attitude towards doctors. To get a larger perspective, he punctured his wrist earlier in the year when he fall. He sent me pictures where you could see ligaments. He had to be convinced to go to the ER, where he needed 10 stitches.

 

There was an article in the Atlantic about this condition and I just happened to read it yesterday. The link is here if you have a subscription, but I will pm you the text and can email the audio version if you want. While doctors unfamiliar with it usually prescribe more exercise, the doctor in the article makes the case that this is the exact opposite thing one should do. They currently think that this is a result of systemic cellular damage in the energy production parts of the cell and they can't make the right kind of energy and have a broken mechanism for when to make it and trying to push yourself harder just makes things worse.

It sounds like she has a milder version than most of the sufferers in the article. There's lots of real athletes who are bedridden from this.

 

Thanks. Obviously, I read your pm before reading this. You know, a little red 1 catches the attention.

Exercising through it is NOT my wife's challenge. The over/under on total miles she's run in her life is 1. The last three days have been rough on her, though, since we did have longer (slightly) days when we were visiting my folks for Thanksgiving. If the past is true to form, she should be able to stay up pat 8pm by this weekend.

 

Looks like we finally have a test for long COVID, which is real progress:

Still a long way to go re treatment, but being able to identify a set cohort is a huge step.

 

I went to the doctor with bronchitis yesterday and had Covid and flu shots while I was there. I'm not at my perkiest today.

 

Whoa

That's some big news.

 

Wow.
How much evidence is needed to show that hydroxochloroquine is not a good medicine for Covid-19 patients? The risk of dying with this antimalarial drug during the first corona wave was 11 percent higher than the standard treatment. French researchers estimate the number of deaths due to hydroxychloroquine treatment in Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the U.S. at 16,990. They collected figures from 44 studies on 98,406 patients in hospitals in six countries. The findings can be found in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.

A drug infamously touted by Donald Trump has been linked to nearly 17,000 Covid deaths in a new scientific study. Researchers say that the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine was prescribed to patients during the first wave of Covid-19 "despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits."

 

As the saying goes, everything that Trump touches dies, so no surprise here.

 

Chicago moved to medium risk earlier this week (or last week, can't remember) due to increased hospitalizations. City only releases numbers once a week, Wednesday evening. Cases have started to go down, hospitalizations and deaths are rising slightly still so things are following the normal curve. Wastewater monitoring is trending down for Chicago area WWTPs.

 

Same over here a few weeks ago.

 

Everyone knows it was THE MAN that invented Covid. Normally I'd be off work today because of a snow day. But because of Covid I'm teleworking or working remotely.

 

Deleted as it was a fake image stating that ivermectin was causing incontinence and long term injury.

 

F**k Berhalter!

NEW YORK (AP) — Older U.S. adults should roll up their sleeves for another COVID-19 shot, even if they got a booster in the fall, U.S. health officials said Wednesday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Americans 65 and older should get another dose of the updated vaccine that became available in September — if at least four months has passed since their last shot. In making the recommendation, the agency endorsed guidance proposed by an expert advisory panel earlier in the day.

 

I’d get the shot every 6months if it was allowed.

 

I just found out that a passing acquaintance has been taking ivermectin every day for two years. To be fair, she hasn't caught covid, so it must work.

 

How’s her mane?

 

That can't be good for their stomach lining. Growing up mucking stalls on thoroughbred farms, all I can mentally picture are people taking the paste -- the size of a small caulk gun --- and injecting it into their mouth.

 

I've been drinking Yoohoo daily for the same amount of time and I ain't caught it neither!

 

I'm pretty sure I bet on her last weekend at Laurel Park. I did lose on her.

 

You shudda bet on Beetlebomb as your filly Toothpaste got squeezed on the rail!
