Sorry. Not going to believe that obvious false propaganda. Gonna wait for my second cousin Chad to let me know if it worked for his roommate's sister's boyfriend's manager at the Five Guys before I'll believe it.

I mean, yeah, joeks, but I don't see this making a huge dent in deaths among the Q contingent. What, they're gonna take something recommended by a so-called 'doctor' over gobbling down Miracle-Gro plant food spikes as recommended by a random Facebooker?
― Donald Fhtagen (Old Lunch), Friday, 1 October 2021 15:50 (two years ago) link
But we can't use the baseline of "what will the Q folks believe" to determine progress.

If the drug companies had any real interest in curtailing this pandemic they would invent a medicine that cuts death and hospitalization by 100%, not 50%. Clearly they're just trying to drag this out.

xpost No, but the longer there are intransigent holdouts getting needlessly sick and getting other people needlessly sick, the longer this is gonna stretch on.
Still very good news for the sane people in the world!
― Donald Fhtagen (Old Lunch), Friday, 1 October 2021 16:10 (two years ago) link
Oh I absolutely agree, but what can we do? It's been made crystal clear that these intransigent holdouts aren't going to be swayed by anything. I'm just tired of seeing the media cater to them. Fuck them at this point. They should not even be a consideration in making progress, mandates or anything.

this is a great thing regardless of what skeptics don't wanna listen. this is the first oral anti-viral available - every other therapeutic that has existed up until this point has been a antibody cocktail (ie monoclonal antibody treatment) that must be administered at a specific facility, or has been administered after the recipient is already in the hospital.
this is like....a pill. down the hatch, boom. if we can start decoupling hospitalizations/deaths from cases a lot better than we've done in the US (which we've done a terrible job of) - that's a big deal. esp since it could work for the stubborn fucks that won't get vaxxed but might be ok taking a pill.

If only it were that simple! First it's through the teeth, then past the gums. Then down the hatch. It's actually a fairly complicated process.

The Trident is a good parallel-universe negroni.. but it ain't cheap to stock the fixins':
1 oz. dry sherry 1 oz. Cynar 1 oz. aquavit 1 dash peach bitters 1 dash orange bitters
Tools:mixing glass, barspoon, strainer Garnish:lemon twist
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 1 October 2021 20:38 (two years ago) link
Weirdly, I have open bottles of Cynar *and* aquavit, maybe I'll give that a shot. (Cynar supposedly goes bad or off eventually, but like vermouth I've yet to notice a real change.)
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 1 October 2021 20:41 (two years ago) link
Be careful with Cynar! I pair it with rye and a couple drops of sweet vermouth, similar to a Black Manhattan.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 1 October 2021 20:44 (two years ago) link
warning: I think the Trident was invented at the urging of the peach bitters producer, who were desperately looking for a cocktail that called for it
Cynar also makes a 70 proof version, which is a nice little sipper on its own
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 1 October 2021 21:41 (two years ago) link
Don't think I've ever noticed Cynar go bad, I don't even keep it in the fridge.
― bespoke sausages (seandalai), Saturday, 2 October 2021 00:20 (two years ago) link
I refrigerate sweet vermouth (Antica Formula is by a wide margin the greatest) and dry vermouth, which are more like fortified wines, but don't bother with liqueurs

A Connecticut doctor who gave patients blank, signed COVID-19 exemption forms has surrendered her medical license
A Connecticut doctor voluntarily surrendered her medical license on Friday, after officials learned she was giving patients blank, signed COVID-19 exemption waivers. An anonymous tip to the Connecticut Medical Examining Board prompted an investigation into retired physician Sue McIntosh.She had been "providing fraudulent vaccine exemption forms through the mail related to COVID-19 vaccines, general vaccines, COVID testing, and medical opposition to wearing facial masks," the investigation said. Patients, when they received these forms, only had to fill out their name and date and then select a reason for a mask exemption, records show.She sent out these forms without ever having physically examined the patients, the board said. Patients who wanted an exemption waiver had to mail her a self-addressed and stamped envelope to receive one.Supplemental documents provided by the state's health department said McIntosh also instructed patients to "copy and distribute as many forms as they wish." Her license was suspended on September 24. About a week later, McIntosh surrendered her license, according to a release from the state's health department. "Let freedom ring!" McIntosh wrote on an instruction form accompanying the waiver.

I recall some speculation on blood type being a factor in severity. The main thing I remember hearing about race here (King County, WA) was how to make sure info and then vaccines were reaching BIPOC and marginalized folks. Could very well be my self-selected bubble though.

I do remember when smoking was supposed to protect you, whatever happened with that
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 4 October 2021 16:05 (two years ago) link
Pretty sure that got debunked since smoking was a risk factor that let folks qualify for the early vaccine access in places.
