I tested + for COVID again today. Same infection since March. 179 days. My insurance won't cover more Paxlovid to treat or Pemgarda to prevent (likely also treat). Still trying for mAbs, but FDA has threatened to pull Pemgarda. Afraid I'll lose my chance to clear this infection.

So anti-maskers found my post about how at the conf masks are required and somehow interpreted "everyone is complying" that socialists are some kind of submissive sheep. Y'all have no idea who you're dealing with at this event. 😂

Kudos to the Socialism Conference coordinators and attendees. The conference also offered a virtual option to attend. SOLIDARITY. ✊😷

Study unveils novel treatment for blocking SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells
Study unveils novel treatment for blocking SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells
Professor Kyungjae Myung and his research team in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, affiliated with the IBS Center for Genomic Integrity, have discovered UNI418, a compound that effectively prevents the penetration of the coronavirus. This compound works by regulating dielectric homeostasis, thereby inhibiting the virus's entry into human cells. The paper is published in the journal Experimental & Molecular Medicine.

“Why did the nurse complain about how hard it was to breathe in a mask before she even put it on? Maybe she wanted validation. Maybe she wanted a reaction. Maybe she wanted me to intervene and tell her it was okay if she didn't wear a mask. I gave her nothing. Sometimes, that's what someone needs.

Nothing.

…It's easy to dismiss the deep yearning for ‘normal’ that compels hundreds of millions of people to disregard their own health and safety, to burn the future for the moments of joy they were promised. We all remember what it used to be like. We're just the ones coping better with its loss. For us, ‘normal’ was always more of an excursion anyway. The real normal was always a return to solitude, and maybe that's why we're handling the new reality better.”

Protecting HCWs and patients: An impossible fix, or an essential one?
“We have dedicated our lives to saving lives. And yet we are trapped in a system where infecting each other and our patients has apparently become acceptable. With no end to COVID waves on the horizon (we’re in a substantial one right now), what is the endgame our health-care leaders are hoping for?”
