1/ Paxlovid is a highly effective treatment for COVID if given within first 3-5 days of infection. So why are so few accessing it? yahoo.com/now/hundreds-still… We tend to focus more on pharma/tech innovations & less on how to distribute them.

7/ At the very least we should be trialing non-mRNA non-single protein intramuscular vaccines as our boosting regimen. A live attenuated virus offers the body a much more thorough view of the immune response that may prove hugely beneficial as a boost.

Are There Better Ways to Track Covid Cases? Yes, also using passive data collected from fitness trackers to identify regional changes in the proportion of users with anomalous sensor data. Join ⁦@detect_study⁩ nytimes.com/2022/04/14/healt…

Many Virus Cases Go Uncounted. Are There Better Ways to Track the Pandemic? (Published 2022)

An increasing reliance on at-home testing and the closings of mass testing sites are making official case counts less reliable, scientists say.

Not enough people know: NYC is now offering *free, same-day home delivery* of paxlovid (new, effective anti-viral pill). If you test pos, especially if you're hi-risk, ask your doc about this treatment. If you don't have a doc call 212-COVID19. And for now we have good supply.
