Woodsy Owl posted:Please don't use the Listerine with alcohol. The alcohol concentration is too low to be antiseptic, and it dries the poo poo out of your mouth. Bad time to have more dental emergencies. Stick to the non-alcohol variety. Has there been an update since this article? https://www.rutgers.edu/news/certain-mouthwashes-might-stop-covid-19-virus-transmission Also, how much personal information does Test2treat gather, and what does it use to verify that info? I saw a bit about it reporting it to the local government, but if I wanted to pick some up for a friend, how would that work? Or really, just to have it on hand in case there's a run on it in the small city where i live with wastewater levels up 50% two weeks ago and 100% last week...

NeonPunk posted:5% of the total population is whole lot better than I expected. Maybe I've been wrong and allowing 5% of everyone to get all hosed up is not really all that bad since we get to return to normal life and enjoy our sysco appetizers at restaurants One thing that continues to blow my mind. People are getting hosed up so they can eat at Dennys.

Friend who had never had covid reported allergies and a hoarse throat from talking all day at work. I felt their head and detected a fever. Gave them a Biden Test, popped positive immediately. Set them up with test2treat pax. Time to quarantine lol.

Had to take my daughter to the emergency room this morning for what turned out to be a broken leg and there was not a single mask in sight anywhere. Luckily there is an ER not attached to a hospital that’s always totally empty for some reason so we didn’t have to wait with a bunch of coughing people or anything but still just lol. Also sucks because it makes it hard for me to convince my wife to mask at all when doctors don’t. Thoguh has issued a correction as of 21:17 on Dec 16, 2023 |

Hey all, To give an update on my health and well-being, I went for a physical last month. Hr doubled my BP meds and everything else looked good but he thinks I might have diabetes because of being fat. he had no other solutions for my fatigue. he threw my chart in the trash outside when talking about long COVID. Also - COVID tongue looks like trash but med didn’t work so I should stop and urgent care, PCP, dentist all disagreed until I went t to an oral surgeon this week who put me on meds to treat any of the non cancer caused it could be and if that doesn’t work I have a biopsy in two weeks. Meanwhile I fell asleep at my desk on Tuesday and scratched my head in an obivuous way. I woke up Friday with my legs swollen and obviousl blood clots all over. doctor said it was cellulitis and sent me home with steroids and antibiotics (the same ones the oral surgeon would recommend later in day) my legs are swollen and hot to the touch but hey at least my libido reappeared!

road potato posted:Has there been an update since this article? i looked into that bit about data sharing more. when you go through it, there's a step where you're presented with four "i agree to the terms" checkboxes. three of them are required. but one of the four, which is something something hippa and data sharing bullshit, is not required. simply don't check that one and you'll be good to go, data won't be shared with anyone. test2treat is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery light on identity verification. i would go so far as to say they're almost intentionally awful at it. really all they do is send you an email o.O don't even need a pic of a positive test or your face or id. so yeah. just don't click that hippa term box. have fun

Steve Yun posted:what’s the hippa term box do from what i can tell: sends your phone number, name, home address, and suspected date of infection to your local public health department, if one exists. my friend who used it got a call from our local dept of public health a day or two after using it, they still asked stuff like how old are you, what's your ethnicity, etc., so i think the amount of data reported is relatively scant.

That's not the point; the point is 5% of the entire population is huge when polio, our feared nemesis, was 0.5%to 0.05% of those infected. Yeah, it's invisible and that's the biggest problem.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:thanks for this there are apparently three different variants of polio, and an infection from one variant will provide lifelong protection, but only against that variant "The WHO posted:Poliovirus infection can provide lifelong immunity against the disease, but this protection is limited to the particular type of poliovirus involved (Type 1, 2, or 3). Infection with one type does not protect an individual against infection with the other two types.

RandomBlue posted:The visibility is entirely the problem. If you can't see it, it doesn't exist. Speaking of which I found out this morning via a mutual friend that a co-worker of mine has bad CFS after getting COVID last January and is hiding it at work because she's afraid she'll get fired. Like she sleeps 12 hours most days and can barely wake up and sometimes has to find a conference room without windows to crash out in at lunchtime so no one sees her pass out bad. I loving hate this poo poo man

Pillowpants posted:Hey all, Have you asked your doctor about Metformin? It has helped my energy levels a little bit. I still think enteric nattokinase is helpful. I get Doctor's Best Natto/Serra. Their regular natto bottle is not enteric. Beyond that, I just rest a lot. Doesn't feel like there's much more you can do beyond rest more than you think you need.
