My sats have gone up, I’m at 98% so that’s great. I do have increased shortness of breath though so one step forward, one back. Despite my efforts to isolate from my family, my youngest has COVID now too, he is doing ok other than a cough and headache but we’re chilling together and having some bonding time. Everyone else in the family is vaccinated and asymptomatic so here’s hoping that they stay that way.

Hospital update: We saw a decrease in volumes just before school started but now things are going back up. This wave has plenty of gas left in the tank I think.

As a doctor I want to ask personally would you write an off label rx for a 9 year old using the phase 3 dosages for pfizer, or do you think it’s more important to wait for the trial data to come back?

heh, we're having a 'town hall' with medical staff regarding sending kids back to school and they're outright telling us that they've seen a significant drop in the efficacy of existing vaccines against Delta. Cool!!!

finally got a respirator in response to my office’s imminent plan to open er up. Works well. Can’t smell a lit incense an inch away from the vents.

Also almost impossible to hear what I’m saying when wearing it so hopefully it will discourage people from popping by my cube after the first attempt

I'm curious about this. My wife and I have a plan if one of us is in contact or gets infected and I wonder if it's just pissing in the wind.

This is with them cooking the books and imprisoning that lady who said they were cooking the books too

A long way back NPR interviewed a local reporter from the Villages in Florida and the reporter offhandedly mentioned a ridiculously high number of deaths in that community at the time 8% of the total population if I remember correctly.

It gives me pause because there’s always a chance something that works fine in older children/adults will not interact well in young ones but I have been looking at the data and I think I would write an off label prescription for at least down to age 7.

I’m not personally involved with a pediatric trial but one of my good friends is and she is seeing good results. (Pfizer)

kids' doc says no to under 12 vaccines

says it's still in trial so we don't know the appropriate dosing

... wasn't very open to me telling her it's 10 micrograms, just look up the trial

nah, in fact someone went so far as to do some extensive testing to show even if you tried to overload the fan it still wouldnt be a fire-hazard.

you can do that [single filter corsi] just fine but they find that the more surface area there is for filtration the more cfm the entire unit can process

edit;
using the page snipe for more corsi box reading:
https://www.texairfilters.com/how-a-merv-13-air-filter-and-a-box-fan-can-help-fight-covid-19/

-merv13 filters are often sold in box-quantites only, so with that in mind i built 2 boxes for ~$145 usd in filters. the fans (~$20/ea) & duct-tape (~$10) mean that each box was ~$90.

I looked at the last two weeks of death data and uhhh 16-29 year olds had a 15% growth in deaths and 20-29 years old had an 11% growth. everyone else was in single digits and decreasing a few % at each decade.

In raw numbers the olds had more deaths and were more vaccinated, but obviously there is some sad momentum going on with the younger and unvaccinated (probably something like 45% vaxxed)
