Covid Live Updates: Pfizer Says Its Antiviral Pill Is Highly Effective Pfizer announced on Friday that its pill to treat Covid-19 had been found in a key clinical trial to be highly effective at preventing severe illness among at-risk people who received the drug soon after they exhibited symptoms. Pfizer’s pill, which will be sold under the brand name Paxlovid, cut the risk of hospitalization or death by 89 percent when given within three days of the start of symptoms. Pfizer said an independent board of experts monitoring its clinical trial had recommended that the study be stopped early because the drug’s benefit to patients had proved so convincing. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/11/05/world/covid-delta-variant-vaccine Like Mercks. though, it has to be given early on, apparently, for it to be effective. Likewise for the monoclonal antibody treatment from Regeneron. So, getting vaccinated is still a better option. As for cost, I'm sure it will be a lot more than the $4 for a complete course of fluvoxamine, but I suspect the side effects won't be as difficult to endure. At least in respect to the dosage currently formulated for fluvoxamine.

He probably meant to say "It's really no good."

Here's the "question" posed by the OP Many platforms are writing about the situation with Covid-19 and readers are responding to it. One does not take it so closely and the other is very scared. Fear, misunderstanding, anger and even aggression can be found in many reactions. What has Covid done to your state of mind Not an honest question at all. . He's offering only 2 options if I understand his somewhat peculiar English correctly (clearly he's not a native speaker of English) One is that people either take it in a relaxed way and the other is "very scared". This is what's called a "close-ended" question. In this case the 2nd option is that someone is "very scared" which implies that they're in the grip of a strong emotion and hence being irrational. Are those the only 2 possibilities? Obviously an honest question would either be open-ended i.e. one in which no option is suggested, or, if a closed-ended question, , one that includes a wide range of possible responses. Not just 2. It's obvious where the OP is coming from.

From the article: "Spahn said Germany was experiencing a "massive" pandemic of the unvaccinated, adding: "The truth is that there would be far fewer Covid-19 patients in [intensive care] if everyone who could do it got a vaccination.""

Because certain basic facets of the autistic personality are incompatible with the kind of language this person uses here. You don't need to be a psychologist or a psychiatrist, much less her (or his) therapist, to know this stuff.

Don't call him Shirley.

As I have pointed out, the language this person uses would simply not be accessible for a genuinely autistic individual. Which she (he) claims to be.

Why do you believe her (him?) when you know nothing about her (him?)?

She, if,in fact, this person is a she, is clearly not honest. No way this person is autistic.

Thanks to your use of language, I know enough about you to know that you aren't autistic. As for the rest, I don't need to know your biographical details. It's clear you're not honest.

Actually, thanks for more evidence of your fraudulence. Insults and such aren't what triggers the autistic. In fact, what marks them is their cluelessness to expressions of emotion in others. And they certainly wouldn't even now how to pitch a verbal comeback. What's more, given how much you've dwelt on feelings and sensitivity in your comments, it's clear that the last thing you are is autistic.

That mask of yours seems to be slipping.

Why do you believe this person actually has a medical mask exemption? Seems unlikely.

A hugely disproportionate number of the deaths from covid are of the unvaccinated or those who haven't had a clinical case of covid. What needs to done is to get them vaccinated. Also, it's not yet known what the effect of 3 vaccinations will be. It's not unprecedented for more than 2 vaccinations to be required to acquire long term immunity. The polio vaccine, for example, was given in 4 doses.

Since you see fit to reply with sarcasm let me try a little bit of my own. You make an excellent point. This is why actuaries for insurance companies repeatedly fail and life insurance companies are always going out of business because it's impossible to predict future mortality based on current trends. And the larger the initial numbers the more unlikely it is to be able to predict the future. And of course the extraordinary increase in the capacity of computers to crunch numbers has only made predicting future mortality trends increasingly difficult. .

It's pretty straightforward actually. Statisticians look at debt from previous years and figure how many debts there would be if covid hadn't occurred. Then they compare that projected total to the actual total of deaths.

Wow! 3 falsehoods in 2 sentences. Impressive!

Please, I went into some detail to refute your comments about the effect of solar installations on agriculture. And your argument that Thailand isn't ready now doesn't acknowledge the fact that in the past societies adjusted to emerging technologies. Like ICE vehicles for instance. As for the SF6 issue, it is now being acknowledged and things are starting to be done about it. As the article says, it's more a matter of sluggishness and laziness on the part of power providers. That's how these things work. Slow at first. Then it speeds up.There's apparently no technological reason why it can't be replaced.

Whether or not I'm missing your point, the evidence and reasoning you provided to support it were highly defective. Get better evidence.

Makes sense.

On the day after your license expires, why not have someone drive you to the motor vehicle center. Or get Grab to take you there and back.

Whatever the merits of your comments may be, it does not address the fact that clokwise's critique was based on a faulty premise.
