no but seriously this whole "disrupts replication" thing sounds like a better mechanism than teaching your dumbass jarhead immune system something it'll forget in three months

in theory it's giving a major assist to your immune system in clearing it out. but covid could have already hosed your immune system pretty good by day 5 of symptoms, and if it's still around after the course, it can go back to attacking it some more. in my non-scientist opinion 5 days is absolutely a mistake and significantly too short.

Why Am I So Tired posted:Sorry, just have to rant, I'm furious. I spent the entire morning yesterday responding to my dad with a massive, detailed email full of stats and numbers and links to sources and explanations. I'm full of self-loathing but it was a good, informative email that stuck to facts and took emotion out of it. Just heard back. I'm terribly sorry. I've been there. Bottom line is, you cannot save this guy from himself. Because, at bottom, nobody can save anyone from themselves. it took me a good two decades to actually learn this loving lesson. I didn't want to. It's not easy to accept, especially when you care for the person who's trying to self-destruct. And it really sucks to learn it this personally. But another bottom line, a moral one, is that you gave it your best shot. You didn't just walk away, without even trying. So please please don't blame yourself if he goes south. I've seen that play out too, and it doesn't go anywhere good.

the fact that so many studies consistently find that female sex is a huge risk factor for long covid makes me almost certain that some of the large/ongoing symptom clusters are the result of autoimmune attacks, which tracks with the 2:1 sex disparity in autoimmune disorders generally. ouch

mdemone posted:if your boss says to report all tests as negative or it's your rear end, you're gonna do it. I think it's also plausible that the braindead politicization of covid has influenced some workers to check negative to reduce the numbers. Of course it could just be a mistake, but I'd argue it at least warrants an investigation

It could be a lot worse, but I just keep thinking about their being maskless indoors all day every day with my sister's family. They're all going to get it multiple times, and given all of my mom's weird health issues, it's hard not to anticipate the worst happening sometime soon. Can't help but think of all those stories of people unexpectedly losing family members to MAGA in 2016.

Went to the store and some guy yelled at me for masking, first time that's happened in a while. told him my wife had an immune condition so better safe than sorry and he said, "don't worry, after thirty years of marriage you'll be taking that mask off because you won't care." what is wrong with boomers and their hosed up brains
