I disagree with the message, but this is still fun: Ever the jerk to be sure, but Merry Christmas nonetheless

One of the joys of blogging is connecting with like minded folks. Some bloke from the U.K. caught one of my blogs on Omicron and offered up a bit of his work. He describes himself as a retired Chartered Building Surveyor with no medical background other than dealing with his own ailments. He blogs underContinue reading “from the UK”

We diehard Michigan fans are stuck waiting the weeks till New Year’s Eve and the Orange Bowl. This is uncharted territory for us, who haven’t tasted a Rose Bowl since 2004 (back when it mattered). Now we wait and see if Aidan Hutchinson can win an improbable Heisman and cower in anticipation of our SECContinue reading “Go Blue!”

I’m very fond of the little village in which I grew up: Vicksburg (pop’n 3,617).  Between what my old VHS classmates tell me and what I read in my monthly South County News (1), I pretty much keep on top of what’s happening there.  This month’s SCN featured stories of the good fortunes of twoContinue reading “from the ‘burg”

I encountered this on Facebook. I shall surely try to follow suit

I apologize for following the whole COVID thing like a sporting event.   There are too many players here to call winners and losers.  One site I’ve visited religiously through it all is that of Johns Hopkins.  Pretty good school, rejected me for a rheumatology fellowship.  But if you go to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus ResourceContinue reading “scorecards”

A friend read my post yesterday about the new COVID pills (1), which I led off by writing that we have safe and effective pills for COVID already, and she commented “please explain”.  I sent her a link to my ivermectin post of 2 months back (2), but then realized I’d only covered half theContinue reading “HCQ HQ”

Sure, Plaquenil and ivermectin are out there, safe and cheap and pretty effective if given at the start of COVID infection.  That hasn’t kept the boys and girls at Pharma from cooking up something maybe better.  Behold PAXLOVID™ (PF-07321332; ritonavir), a swallowed drug that inhibits a SARS-CoV-2-3CL protease (protein breaking down enzyme) that Mr. CoronaContinue reading “a pill for COVID?”
