The incidence of symptomatic, confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection by day 14 (primary end point) did not differ significantly between each nirmatrelvirāritonavir group and the placebo group. Symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection through day 14 was confirmed by means of a RT-PCR assay or rapid antigen test in 2.6% of the participants in the 5-day nirmatrelvirāritonavir group, 2.4% of those in the 10-day nirmatrelvirāritonavir group, and 3.9% of those in the placebo group (Table 2).
So, yeah, does not work for postexposure prophylaxis. Well, thatās unfortunate. We have used it that way for a few compromised patients, with mixed results. And this does explain why that was. Good to know, but unfortunate.
Thereās no indication that you can get covid from a squirrel.
Yet.
This jibes with what we are seeing here, but I will never trust this bug to settle into a predictable pattern. Coronaviruses are not like that, and this one seems to be even worse than usual.
Agreed. I was at a hospital yesterday for imaging, and didnāt see anyone else wearing a mask. 
Meanwhile, weāre seeing reports about COVID cases among Olympic athletes along with news about the current wave:
There is a very good reason I never stopped masking. Seeing more of them now, but still not nearly enough.
What. The. Actual. Fuck!!!
Banning covid vaccines, ending treatment for long covid, what has Alberta done? Thatās worse than FL or TX!
Comedic interlude
ETA:
Argh! Iād listened to a good part of the video when I posted it, and it really helped on a stressful day of real estate ping-pong, but I didnāt realize that he was going to hook a turn into questionable material later on. Sorry! (And nope, I donāt think context is an absolute defense for bad material.)
Too bad YouTube doesnāt have an end-at parameter.
Yes, Olympic athletes, part of that aged demographic with serious health conditions who are the only people who get covid.
/snark
Sounds like the vaccine ābanā is just something from one of the dumber representativesā wish lists. The AB government is fond of courting the various assholes and idiots who object to public health interventions, but they often donāt do anything about it.
On the other hand, the long covid treatment thingās maddening. I suspect they want to do away with it so there wonāt be any significant org out there to draw attention to the LC problem.
If you donāt keep records, itās not real, right?
