Cheap antidepressant shows promise treating early COVID-19
https://news.yahoo.com/cheap-antidepres ... 35055.html
A cheap antidepressant reduced the need for hospitalization among high-risk adults with COVID-19 in a study hunting for existing drugs that could be repurposed to treat coronavirus.
Researchers tested the pill used for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder because it was known to reduce inflammation and looked promising in smaller studies.
They've shared the results with the U.S. National Institutes of Health, which publishes treatment guidelines, and they hope for a World Health Organization recommendation.
“If WHO recommends this, you will see it widely taken up,” said study co-author Dr. Edward Mills of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, adding that many poor nations have the drug readily available. “We hope it will lead to a lot of lives saved.”
The pill, called fluvoxamine, would cost $4 for a course of COVID-19 treatment. By comparison, antibody IV treatments cost about $2,000 and Merck's experimental antiviral pill for COVID-19 is about $700 per course. Some experts predict various treatments eventually will be used in combination to fight the coronavirus.

Re: Coronavirus:
"11% needed hospitalization or an extended ER stay, compared to 16% of those on dummy pills."
That seems not to be a really big difference; serotonin target drug for treating OCD, too. Seems odd; might have to get that Lancet paper.....wonder about mechanism of action.
Long off patent, hence the low price......

One of the auctions i go to. Has a Russian secretary with 2 bad fingers. She claims “ that her covid booster cured her Dupuytren’s condition “. I spoke with her in person last week. I can tell you “ her fingers are no longer bent 90 degrees to her palm. “ vaccines or not. Her 2 bad fingers move. She has a few appointments scheduled with Doctors in Hartford CT. To look into it.

Covid: Double vaccinated can still spread virus at home
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-59077036
Double jabbed people are catching Covid and passing it on to those they live with, warn experts who have studied UK household cases.
Individuals who have had two vaccine doses can be just as infectious as those who have not been jabbed.
Even if they have no or few symptoms, the chance of them transmitting the virus to other unvaccinated housemates is about two in five, or 38%.
This drops to one in four, or 25%, if housemates are also fully vaccinated.
The Lancet Infectious Diseases work shows why getting even more people vaccinated and protected is important, they say.
Unvaccinated people cannot rely on those around them being jabbed to remove their risk of getting infected, they warn.
Covid infection protection waning in double jabbed
Vaccines do an excellent job of preventing serious Covid illness and deaths, but are less good at stopping infections, particularly since the emergence of the more infectious Delta variant which is dominant in the UK.
And over time, the protection offered by vaccines wanes and needs boosting with further doses.

Why COVID cases are surging in states with high vaccination rates — and what it means for the winter ahead
https://news.yahoo.com/why-covid-cases- ... 48703.html
Coronavirus cases are surging in several U.S. states with relatively high vaccination rates, prompting concern among health officials who had hoped inoculations would help curb the COVID-19 pandemic.
On paper, the latest case numbers seem ominous. In Vermont, which has the highest vaccination rate of any state in the country, new daily cases are up 49 percent in the past two weeks. More than 72 percent of Vermonters have been fully vaccinated, compared with 59 percent nationally.
In neighboring New Hampshire, new daily cases are up 84 percent in the past two weeks (compared with a 7 percent jump over the same period nationwide), despite 63 percent of its population being fully inoculated.
In New Mexico, new daily cases are up 46 percent in the same period, even though 63 percent of its residents are fully vaccinated.
And in neighboring Colorado, new daily cases are up 42 percent, despite 62 percent of its population having received their shots.
Cases are also up significantly in Minnesota (50 percent), Illinois (49 percent), Rhode Island (43 percent), New York (27 percent) and Massachusetts (24 percent) — states where more than 6 in 10 residents are fully vaccinated. In Massachusetts and Rhode Island, more than 70 percent of the population has received all necessary vaccine doses. Even California is starting to see a rise in cases.
Is Covid’s winter surge already here? Experts warn the pandemic isn’t over

Re: Coronavirus:
I'd rather see them use case numbers. If something is up 50 percent it might not be all that bad. f you have 2 case on Monday. then 3 on Tuesday. Big deal. If you have 10,000 then 15,000 now we're having a problem.

It would be interesting to know what vaccine she got. My guess would be Moderna.

Re: Coronavirus:
(The Center Square) – The head of Indianapolis-based insurance company OneAmerica said the death rate is up a stunning 40% from pre-pandemic levels among working-age people.
“We are seeing, right now, the highest death rates we have seen in the history of this business – not just at OneAmerica,” the company’s CEO Scott Davison said during an online news conference this week. “The data is consistent across every player in that business.”
OneAmerica is a $100 billion insurance company that has had its headquarters in Indianapolis since 1877. The company has approximately 2,400 employees and sells life insurance, including group life insurance to employers in the state.
Linky: Indiana life insurance CEO says deaths are up 40% among people ages 18-64
Re: Coronavirus:
The death rate is up for all age groups, but people over 65 and under 18 almost never have life insurance so that wouldn't be reflected in their data. Several hundred children have died in the current USA pandemic that would have, at least statistically, been alive except for COVID-19. Obviously the death rate for older individuals, particularly those in their 60s and older, is through the roof due to COVID-19. For those interested, the current deaths are almost exclusively among the unvaccinated. Vaccination isn't perfect, but it is very effective at preventing hospitalization and death. Not the Black Death of the 1300s but still pretty dreadful.

Re: Coronavirus:
According to that link the deaths and sickness are caused by other…..ie illnesses or ailments. Probably from lockdowns and mandates causing mental illness, substance abuse not to mention trying to make ends meet in this highly inflated economy. Suicide and homicide are probably way up….no surprise with Joey the Dunce and the Democrats at the helm.
.The number of hospitalizations in the state is now higher than before the COVID-19 vaccine was introduced a year ago, and in fact is higher than it’s been in the past five years, Dr. Lindsay Weaver, Indiana’s chief medical officer, said at a news conference with Gov. Eric Holcomb on Wednesday.
Just 8.9% of ICU beds are available at hospitals in the state, a low for the year, and lower than at any time during the pandemic. But the majority of ICU beds are not taken up by COVID-19 patients – just 37% are, while 54% of the ICU beds are being occupied by people with other illnesses or conditions.

Look at the number of people that have quit their jobs.
