    I'm taking Paxlovid for . My reasoning is a couple side effects are more pleasant than the risk of long COVID.

    The big side effect I've had is metallic taste. It can have a short spike into 8/10 unpleasantness, but that rarely lasts longer than 10 seconds especially if you drink water. Baseline taste unpleasantness is 2-6 /10 and it peaks 1-4 hours after the dose. Standard dose is 2x per day. Different foods can trigger the taste more strongly. Salt does bad, but pasta and ice cream is fine.

    Light queasiness right after my latest dose but generally it's fine.

    I've also had trouble falling asleep, but neither pharmacist nor doctor thinks it's a plausible side effect. I mostly agree. Both parties cautioned about the prolific number of drug interactions that paxlovid has.

    I was already recovering when my slow doctor and the awful US health system finally got me prescribed, but after 4 doses it feels like I'm getting even better.

    It is an antiviral. It limits the ability for the virus to reproduce itself in your body. Less virus = less illness.

    Ignoring the side effects, this is a miracle drug and I think you should take it ASAP if you get COVID. You will need a prescription (telehealth can do it) and your insurance must cover it. OTC price can be as high as $1800. Assuming this study is accurate (no idea of the source) it might even be worth $1800. But that's a lot for most people to pay.

        Hi, these are the weekly (that is, and environs) toots. A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

        Welp, there's no data for the West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant this week. We do have data for the other two sites, which follow.

        WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistica. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at

          My wife's taking me out to a movie in the theater tonight, something we do very rarely nowadays because of . What should we see?

                Utah’s Measles Outbreak Is Among the Largest in the US. It May Get Worse.

                The number of confirmed measles cases in Utah have surpassed 100, with state health officials reporting 102 as of Nov. 25, the last update available from the Thanksgiving holiday week. Of those, 24 were recorded in the last three weeks. Expecting the state and national measles surge to continue amid low vaccination rates, distrust and some isolating themselves from medical care…

                Some people just don't get it. Pays us a visit, fresh in from a group trip where everybody came down with Covid. No, you're not safe five days after getting infected; you're safe five days after you've recovered.

                I ask her to stay outside, or wear a mask. She comes in, closes the door, says "it's good you set clear boundaries", and coughs. All before the mask is even unpacked.

                Nobody seems to understand why I'm livid. It's not about performing mask theatre to soothe my feelings FFS. It's about actually taking responsibility to not be a vector.

                I'm taking care of a vulnerable friend, who in all probability will literally die within a week if the virus manages to reach him.
