Was flying today. Would say maybe 15% of my flight had masks on and none of the crew. A few people who worked the desks at LaGuardia did but only a hand full. I wore a mask the whole time.

Hospitalizations in our area have been rising for several weeks, along with the positivity rate and cases per 100k. It’s really not a time to relax, IMO.Right now, the one that I only care about is the number of hospitalization/ICU. I've accepted the fact COVID will be like flu. If you get it and don't require hospitalization, then it's like having bad flu. My friends who've been very careful in the last 2 years, vaxxed and boosted, finally got it. Mild symptoms, recovered within couple days. I guess that's the new normal. Knock on the wood, my family and I haven't got it yet.......I think. My wife and I have stopped wearing mask since March, but not my kiddo (it's her choice though, not force by us). We've been to weddings, pack malls/bounce houses, airport/airplane, and luckily we've been lucky not catching it so far. The only time we still wear mask is if we go to medical/dentist office.
Wifey works at an office with a few PCP's and says people have been calling in daily for the past 2 weeks with positive test or symptoms and are getting Pax prescribed left and right like nothing.Hope she has speedy recovery. Is Paxlovid prescribed by her PCP? I am curious if most PCP will start prescribing that.
What do we know about Paxlovid interactions or dangers to patients? I only briefly looked into it before it hit the market and read there are interactions with Statins which I'm currently on so I automatically dismissed it as an option.Your dad should definitely be on Pax, IMHO. FWIW, my 90 y/o diabetic grandma who has had a heart valve transplant is already feeling back to normal within just a few days of being on Paxlovid.
Which Mucinex do you take? The only one I F with is Mucinex DM. That stuff is magic, in my experience. Hopefully you've already been on vitamin D prior to infection because it takes some time for it to really build in your system.
Can’t talk about good news too much because stupid MFs will start licking handrails just to prove a pointCool to see some of these Covid charts for the NE. Almost every state had a 60 day ramp up and then an almost immediate drop. NY and NJ are two weeks off their Covid ‘peak’. NJ had a low around March 18th, and by around may18th they hit their peak and have dropped ever since. MA and NY and RI and others are showing identical figures.
Really good news thst isn’t really being talked about.
It’s still very regional (my county is still surging and nowhere near the peak) and infections are vastly underreported due to home testing and people flat out pretending it’s over. I’m sure we can agree that the pandemic comes in waves and we haven’t seen the last wave. Long COVID is still a very real threat and recent studies show that vaccination and prior infection provide little protection against it. Every reinfection only increases the odds of long term effects from this disease. That alone should give everyone a pretty good incentive to avoid infection at all (reasonable) cost, yet the majority of people still don’t seem to understand that taking simple common sense precautions will actually improve their quality of life.The entire usa has seen an overall drop starting 5/17, the same time the entire NE quadrant saw a drop Follow all science
damn bros, Rona finally got me. I feel ok. Felt like I was getting a cold so I decided to check to make sure.
I've been doing a damn good job of protecting myself but got a little loose (for me, at least) the last 10 days (all golf related).
Wife and both sons are negative but its got to be a matter of time before my wife and youngest son get it. They sleep with me. Wife and I were hotboxing in my car yesterday at the beach.
Biggest disappointment is missing my son's 5th grade culmination. Can't get those memories back.
got damn Rona.
no, I think indoors in the golf shop/restaurant. I've been loose with not wearing a mask in those areas. I wear a mask everywhere elseyou got it when you were outside?

As reports of ‘Paxlovid rebound’ increase, Covid researchers scramble for answers

hopefully we get more info on this "rebound" effect
Why aren’t any news outlets reporting about Walmarts shareholders meeting from last week? Over 14,000 employees from all over the world gathered for a week at razorback stadium and campus in Arkansas for a giant party like atmosphere celebrating their weird cult. First time in person since 2019.
Not a god damn mask on site. We don’t care about super spreader events anymore? Seems pretty important.
Side note: does anybody have any data or research about when a person is most likely to test positive for covid? When symptoms first show, or is there no concrete data on this. THANKS
Damn. Any idea where you caught it? How are symptoms so far? Hopefully you’re able to kick it quickly and make a full and speedy recovery.**UPDATE** just tested positive for the Rona. Took 2 tests just to be sure. Quarantine time.
