It'll also be good for the breakthrough cases, even though many of them are minor. I mentioned a few pages back that a friend of my grandma's/aunt's who was fully vaccinated contracted COVID and died; a treatment like this might have made the difference for him.
Tamiflu has personally worked very well for me when I've had the flu. I have asthma so I obviously also went on nebulizer treatments, orals steroids, etc. but I never had the flu go into pneumonia or needed to be hospitalized for it. You just absolutely have to get it as soon as you have symptoms.
Ivermectin is NOT horse medication. It is a human medication that is also used to treat animals. It is not approved to treat COVID-19 but it is approved to treat human diseases.
People were buying the animal version and taking it because the human version requires a prescription and the animal version is more widely available. That’s why people call it a horse medication.

People were going to feed stores and buying formulations intended for horses and other livestock. People were overdosing because they were taking these formulations. But I get, these people spout a lot of other stuff that is comforting so they need to be defended.
A preparation formulated specifically for equine use can properly be considered a "horse medicine", no matter the actual drug. Either way, anyone who would take a veterinary medication based on the research equivalent "some guy on the internet said" is fully deserving of every bit of ridicule they received.
This is the reason why I think a winter surge in hospitalizations in the NE is still inevitable. Vaccination rates are still not high enough to prevent it, even there.
If it helps, my county hasn't been over 150 since February 2021. Currently sitting at 78.71. Between June and now we went from single digits up to near 150 and are headed back down.

Exactly. Also without the meet and greets, the characters were all over the place. I saw characters I never had before like Buzz and Stitch. My kids loved it!
Nope, they've gotten rid of those since you can take your masks off outside, but the way around it is to grab a snack and eat inside (they're definitely not policing mask wearing if you're at a table inside). The Land, Big Top Souvenirs, and Pizzarizzo are all good spots to go hang out with a snack inside (Pizzarizzo especially upstairs; barely anyone is ever there).

Same experience here. We hit the tent for slushy drinks and AC.
Need to get the 8 year old done then before we go to Canada for Christmas. Will/should be easier that way.
Should be good to go. Assuming they approve it he just needs the first shot before 11/20 to be fully immune by Christmas Day but should be a few weeks earlier than that, maybe as early as 11/1.
Essentially nobody is starting a vaccine series. Still looks to me like around a million people got one shot and never went back for shot #2. If the trend continues, when 5-11 are approved somewhere around half will get shots. The 40-59 age group probably lines up politically for who isn't vaccinated but for under 40 that's clearly not the case.

You do understand the third shot was counted as a first shot until last week? I had half a dozen notices to come back for my second after getting the third. You put way too much faith in the reported numbers, it is the government doing this and when have you ever known them to be accurate. Always revisions and corrections then a whole new system is installed and none of it means anything.
