I popped positive Sunday morning, symptoms started Friday evening with a sore throat, Saturday was cough and feeling like it was going into chest. Sunday felt like death and similar feeling to 2022 when I had it last and tested that morning. Went to urgent care later that day and got prescribed Lagevrio, It turned me around after about 8 hours after first dose. Now I'm almost back to normal after 24 hours, just tired.
Can you not take Paxlovid? I'm not familiar with Lagevrio. Quick google says the latter may be used when you can't use paxlovid. Just curious for future reference when I get it again.
I had paxlovid last time and it knocked it out within 24 hours. Paxlovid interacts with one of the medications I'm on for another couple months so had to go with the Lagevrio as it doesn't interact with it.
God the MDR TB pandemic that infectious disease experts have been sweating about for decades showing up right now would be such a master stroke that I'd have to hand it to em (acid-fast bacilli) as our species went extinct
lol who is going to use a fucking nebulizer to deliver enough peptide to do fucking anything for a Covid infection. This will never be a product.

After delay, CDC releases data signaling bird flu spread undetected in cows and people https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-...5296672/cdc-bird-flu-study-mmwr-veterinarians Spoiler The first study on the H5N1 bird flu outbreak from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to make it to publication under the Trump administration came out Thursday. The journal released data suggesting some spillovers from dairy cattle into humans have gone undetected, including in states where dairy herds have not tested positive. This comes after a freeze in external communications that interrupted the agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, or MMWR, a mainstay of public health communication. Publication on other topics resumed last week. In the new study, researchers analyzed blood samples collected from 150 veterinarians who worked with cattle around the country and found that three of them had antibodies to the H5N1 virus, indicating recent infections. None recalled having any influenza-like symptoms or conjunctivitis. They also did not care for any cattle with known or suspected infections, although one did work with infected poultry. The findings underscore the difficulty of detecting and controlling human infections based on whether a person seeks out medical care, says Gregory Gray, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. "If the circulating H5 viruses become more transmissible between humans, we are not going to be able to control transmission as the viruses will spread rapidly and often subclinically," says Gray.
It's pretty much the Plague and TB that have routinely decimated world populations every few centuries right?
https://bsky.app/profile/chadbourn.bsky.social/post/3llltqrj3vs2s An unidentified virus is spreading in Russia, according to Belarus media\. Its symptoms include a persistent bloody cough and lethargy, which sounds like TB but Russian doctors haven’t named it\. At least one death so far
Was at an infection prevention meeting last week and Tb is spreading here too. Weird but more cases of pulmonary Tb than traditional according to the panel.
