Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Harryflashman]

I went today for booster and got a card

Me and you mate , I’ll pm you the details of the clubhouse and the secret handshake

 

[maccavennie]

I feel special now

You are special Harry and don't let anyone tell you any different.

Now feel free to go into the Benitez thread and boo him for no reason other than it feels good to do so on a Saturday evening

 

[Runub]

Yeah that makes sense to me as well mate, that they had my name on a sheet of paper and then crossed me off as attending to get my booster.

This AM they took all my details and entered them into a tablet, the IT kind not a pill, whether that goes directly to some central database or is uploaded at the end of the day I don’t know

 

[PhilM]

No I didn't get one either mate. I went in, gave my details and got jabbed. Didn't get given a new card or anything.

They never asked for my card, but they knew all my details when looking on the NHS system.

Do you know what's in Paxlovid LL? Anything that's been used for other things previously?

Don’t think so but will tag in @RAFUH as she is the expert.

It is used in combo with another drug that apparently in some HIV treatments.

COVID antiviral pills: what scientists still want to know

Drugs such as molnupiravir and Paxlovid could change the course of the pandemic if clinical trial results hold up in the real world.

www.nature.com

Paxlovid acts by inhibiting an enzyme that’s needed to process some viral proteins into their final, functional form. But the drug is a combination of an antiviral and another drug, called ritonavir, which helps to prevent enzymes in the liver from breaking down the antiviral before it has a chance to disable the coronavirus. Ritonavir, a component of some HIV treatment cocktails, can affect how some other medications are metabolized by the body. A wide range of drugs should not be given with it, including some that are commonly used to treat heart conditions, suppress the immune system and reduce pain.

That Ritonavir was on that letter I received with medications that they've found not to be effective ( Lopinavir ritonavir - antiviral treatment commonly used to treat HIV )

Thanks for the update Dr Potato with your in depth knowledge of Omicron

I can rest much easier this evening for that input and I'll be sure to send an email to all the scientists around the world to say "knock it on the head lads, Charlie Potato says there's nothing to worry about so put that micro biology set away and get yourselves down the pub"

You will rest a lot more easy if you do, maybe won’t regret not seeing all the loved ones who’s stood by over the years for the last few Christmas’s either.

Nanny state mate hope you told them to stick it and went on that march today resist

 

[CharliePotato]

If you had any qualifications to show your ability to determine how dangerous this varient is or isn't, I might say you had a point. But since you don't, I'll place my trust in people who know what they're talking about.

Same as you who has non and making decisions based of media scientist, I’ve a masters by the way but whatever.

The people that know what they’re talking about are literally saying it’s mild???

Well Charlie, it probably wasn't such a bad thing I didn't see the majority of my loved ones last year as I would have given them all a nasty dose of Covid

Thanks for the advice though
