Hoosier Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Eli Lilly antibody treatment got an EUA. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/fda-authorizes-eli-lilly-s-covid-19-antibody-treatment-emergency-n1247201 Supply may be an issue given the case growth we are experiencing, but it is a good piece of news prior to the vaccine.

Agree that the hype about the Pfizer offering is silly, the testing was done on healthy adults (most of whom reported pain, chills and fevers, some severe, from the vaccine). who developed substantial antibody titers quite reliably with the vaccine. No tests as yet on the old or the infirm, nor how long the protection lasts. There is a good road ahead before this is ready for general use.

Hoosier Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Starting to get April/early May type death numbers now in IN. 67 reported today (63 confirmed, 4 probable). In an ominous sign, case numbers are up about 70% just from last Tuesday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to my 35-year-old fiancee who had COVID in August and was hospitalized for 3 days (although not in the ICU, didn't need supplemental oxygen/ventilation). She seemed to be steadily on the mend for about 6 weeks then backslid significantly starting about mid-October. Every day it has been some combination of shortness of breath, fatigue/lethargy, headaches, stomach issues (basically all the symptoms she had when she actually had the infection itself, other than the cough) and skyrocketing blood pressure. I took her back to the hospital today to try to get it under control because the doctors are concerned it is causing kidney/eye damage and the medications she can take at home aren't working. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about this, but thank you for the important anecdote about long-haulers. Too many people haven't heard about it or don't believe it's true.

Hoosier Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Most or all of the colleges/universities in Indiana are not requiring "exit testing" for covid prior to students returning home for Thanksgiving. Hopefully nobody inadvertently kills a parent or grandparent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Utah now has a statewide mask mandate. There are the enforcement issues of course but at least a higher percentage of Utahns (always wanted to type that word lol) should be wearing them.

I'm not understand what the big deal is given what is going on. I believe there were similar dissenters/protesting when seat belts were mandated. Big difference is that if you don’t wear a seatbelt, you’re only harming yourself. My risk of car accident death is unchanged by your decision. That’s not the same with the mask mandate 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 NYC back up to numbers where they would shut down schools and start more restrictions. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/coronavirus/this-is-our-last-chance-nyc-mayors-pleas-to-stop-2nd-wave-avoid-new-closures-grow-urgent/2714495/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 One thing about NYC... they don't play around. A 2-3% positivity rate anywhere else would be a snoozer. Heck, there are many places across the country right now with a 10% or greater positivity rate that have few or no restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take off to a massive outbreak here again like nothing given the population density. We’ve done much better since April but can’t let our guard down. Also numbers are coming back up here like anywhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Illinois is rapidly approaching their April hospitalization peak (5036). They are now at 4742 (+1178 last 7 days). Most other states in the region are also seeing rapid spikes in hospitalizations. Very few states in US not with increasing hospitalizations. Nationwide hospital numbers 61,964 (+2690). Most summer spike hot spots in the south are now trending up again. Suggests that while generally cooler weather driving people indoors may have put "fuel on the fire" in some areas esp. in north, that is not only case driver. . (Note: much of US has seen abnormally warm temps past week wonder if that helps drop the transmission rate some. With sun setting early w/cooler evening temps, people are still going to be driven indoors in evening. This combined with high levels of community spread already may limit any benefit. Region is going back to normal temps in a couple of days.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortex Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I tested positive for Covid last Friday after becoming symptomatic on Wednesday. I was exposed at work by a stupid coworker who came to work sick last Monday. He tested positive Wednesday, then 3 other coworkers did. I started with a slight cough for 2 days, then lightheaded, chills and low grade fever for a few days. All have since resolved themselves besides some fatigue. The other workers who caught it all had similar symptoms. I’m in my mid 40s and in good shape/health. To be honest, it wasn’t that bad at all. Pretty lucky. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
