  1. Manchin no expert obviously. More interested in the political pressure starting up again against the Fed. Here’s the article. Also jawbones about government spending concerns.
  2. Some destinations won’t accept rapid tests. You should double check. There’s special labs that do Pcr Tests for international travel if needed on a short timeline. But you’ll pay.
  3. I just went to swap an old coin to ETh. The new system made gas prices crazy high. Fees for a swap were $298. They’re coming down some but I just checked and it’s $98.
  4. I have no doubt that a third shot will Increase your existing antibody levels. If you get five shots you could have antibodies thorough then roof. That doesn’t necessarily mean the outcomes will be improved. There’s not always the link you think there would be. See: amyloid levels and outcomes with Biogen Alzheimer’s drug. Not exactly analogous, but improved outcomes are what you’re after not just a secondary endpoint.
  5. Good to know. Fwiw I found this tweet when he was RT’d by a cardiologist I follow.
  6. This thread is from a couple weeks ago. Long, has some good thoughts IMO.
  7. I haven’t had to fund my account. It’s just linked to a checking account and comes directly from there.
  8. If you want to buy one then that’s fine. Quantitative measures like oxygen saturation can be helpful but they have some limitations. You don’t know the patient’s baseline. Some people are chronically lower so they can tolerate a lower saturation than others. Numbers usually tell the full story but not always. On the other hand you can tell just by looking at someone if they’re in real respiratory distress. That’s why a qualitative measure like the one I described better fits the situation IMO. You don’t want to go to ER unless you really need to go. YMMV It also eliminates people fretting over their monitors and thinking “he said to call him if it went this low, it’s not there yet but it dropped by 3 this hour, I better just call and check”. Then you get called and have to talk through it again and provide reassurance. You want good communication that keeps you from unnecessarily called. And that’s how you can tell I’m a real doctor.
  9. Oh I go every year. We should hang out.
  10. You mean Scott Gottlieb? He’s calling a decline by Mid August.
  11. I was being sarcastic. Holistic veterinary medicine too.
  12. I would’ve never done the cringe posts that guy did on the crypto thread. You’re getting posters confused. Wasn’t me.
  13. No this one was only started after the sourcing. Check the dates.
  14. Medicine I wasn’t banned for lying. I was banned for trolling CR. I’ve kept it decidedly non CR here.
  15. I have no sock accounts. I am a doctor. You keep calling me a liar without basis.
  16. My only handles have been GR and this one. I don’t know anything about those other ones.
  17. Regarding your point on long term effects, I would guess that your niece is a very rare case. Probably a “mild” case if she didn’t experience fatigue at rest or on mild exertion. I think there will be a small number of patients that have zero symptoms at 2 months and then pop up with something more long term. So the long term number shouldn’t be much higher than the 2% at 8 weeks in this study. Just curious, how much has she been affected? Did she get an echo?
  18. Here’s some potentially reassuring data for those that are worried about their unvaccinated kids and school. Symptoms reported by parents. Only 4% of kids still experiencing symptoms at 4 weeks. 2% at 8 weeks. Most common symptoms fatigue, headache, loss of smell. This is a marked improvement over the 10-30% long covid numbers I’ve seen thrown around here.
  19. Here is a great and simple test to tell if you really need to go to ER even with Covid. If you have covid shortness of breath is common with exertion, but if you get out of breath talking then you need to go in. Otherwise there’s not much that they’ll do for you.
  20. What a huge deal to now have a hard core bitcoiner in the Senate. And like I’ve said before, Jack is massive ally. As we’ve seen he has about as much power as anyone on Earth when it comes to picking winners and losers.
  21. So, anybody wearing masks around their kids at home? Is this something real people are even considering?
  22. Vinay has some interesting ideas. He’s a carrot more than a stick guy. Tie vaccination to binding legislation that we can never reinstitute restrictions again. Pass a bill that says if 70% of the population gets vaccinated, governments cannot institute mask mandates for a 5-year period or businesses cannot be closed if local vaccination rates exceed 75%. Pick the percentages, and times, and make it binding. It's worth the risk of losing one tool, and like all agreements, renegotiation may be possible if needed. Last call for vaccines. Announce that at the end of the month we are going to ship all the vaccines to India, Brazil, and Argentina, and make good on that promise. If you don't get it now, you can never get it. A deadline can be a powerful incentive.
