BTW, we have some physicians who post on here (I'm a engineer with some limited background in methods for drug discovery). They aren't claiming to be experts in virology or antiviral drug development, unlike some of the self-proclaimed "experts" on the internet.

Just reading through from the week. Why the Ivermectin hate? From the data i've seen looks fairly effective if administered early.
What data? ... serious question. The most commonly quoted scientific analysis in favour of Ivermectin was a preprint that has pretty much been shown to be manipulated (being polite ... faked might be more accurate).

As I don't listen to the Joe Rogan show anymore I'm unfamiliar how Ivermectin is used, can someone enlighten me? I actually have two tubes of the cream from a prescription for Rosacea (mostly unused as it didn't work for me, Rozex does the job), I wonder how much I can get for it on Gumtree (for those not in the know Gumtree is Oz's shit kinfd of version of Trademe)?

If cream, try spreading it on bread and butter ...? The alternative is more "intrusive" but works better.

I cant find the one i read previously, but https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8209939/
That's a positive one on the front page of google. There is also less positive ones on the front page so yea

@muddyriver That study includes the fraudulent Egyptian study (Elgazzar) that heavily influenced early meta-analysis reports.
That study was probably just made up. My guess is that someone took out options on Ivermectin producers, then posted it to a preprint server (it never went through the peer review process).
-
@muddyriver Tim and I are on the same page.
To be fair, some serious Ivermectin trials are being run, like this PRINCIPLE one in the UK calling for 5000 volunteers ... (https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2021-06-23-ivermectin-be-investigated-possible-treatment-covid-19-oxford-s-principle-trial)
Looks like UK PRINCIPLE are also trialling Favipiravir, an antiviral drug (I have no background on it - yet to read up).

@mikethesnow had a fever for a day and it was not the out of control type. 100 to 100.5. How was yours? Ice baths?
No
Best sleep of my life - 8 to 9 hrs undisturbed- but each time I woke it felt as if I’d pissed the bed

That’s funny. You’re right. I slept like a baby for a couple of days as well. Who needs time off to rest when you have Covid.

All in all quite satisfying then.

As opposed to the other nights when you actually had pissed the bed.

I don’t get the freakout. I’ve been vaccinated twice. If the vaccine actually works, then I don’t give a ratsass what anybody else does. if a foxy unvaccinated young nubile wanted to get it on with me, I wouldn’t think twice. Sorry.

@kid-chocolate I thought it was an amusing rant. Sorry

^^ That looks bad.
But if change to include other micro-states. Can see that the wave is typically steeper if measure against a small population. (although French Polynesia is bigger than San Marino, Gibraltar etc by factor of about 10, and has natural barriers in country between regions)
