I wondered whether we have now very distant, highly contagious, strains that don't show up with the good old ATKs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sheryl Posted October 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2023 If you felt well after recovering from COVID a year ago and just now feel unwell, this is not long COVID. Long COVID is defined as “the continuation or development of new symptoms 3 months after the initial SARS-CoV-2 infection, with these symptoms lasting for at least 2 months with no other explanation." https://www.who.int/europe/news-room/fact-sheets/item/post-covid-19-condition 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was flu you would not be posting on here but you would be in bed thinking you were dying and then wishing you would die. That is flu. You have a cold or mild upper respiratory chest infection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, bignok said: Doctors cant treat flus or covid. With COVID, there are anti-viral medications like Paxlovid and Molnupiravir that, if given shortly after the onset of a COVID infection, can greatly reduce the risk of serious symptoms. And with the flu, while I don't believe doctors can cure the flu, they can treat the symptoms with medication to make you feel better and lessen the impact of symptoms. September 26, 2023 Paxlovid linked with reduction in COVID-19 hospitalization, death "Nirmatrelvir/ritonavir, or Paxlovid, was associated with a significant reduction in 30-day hospitalization or death among previously uninfected patients with COVID-19 who were not hospitalized, researchers found. ... According to the study, patients prescribed nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (NMV/r), or Paxlovid, within 3 days of COVID-19 diagnosis were compared with IPTW-based untreated controls." https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20230926/paxlovid-linked-with-reduction-in-covid19-hospitalization-death Edited October 13, 2023 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
