Here is another COVID AMA thread that I really don't want to do, but AMA?

Oh, it’s a screaming bore that we (you) are still having to do this!
Thanks for your patience, @Caravanfan.

Have you seen anyone for Ivermectin poisoning

@Dutchess_III Not in my area.

Should we expect to see a rise or fall of delta cases as we move into cooler months? Should we expect similar patterns to the flu?

Speaking of the flu, what month do you get your flu shot to maximize the benefit over the course of the flu season?

@gorillapaws I got mine three weeks ago.

@raum I predict a higher amount because of unvaccinated children.
@gorillapaws Great question. I would go ahead and get it now.

I saw an article (don’t remember where) that said since COVID protection has generally been toned down (such as masking and social distancing), we will probably experience more severe outbreaks of the seasonal diseases than last year.

@Strauss That, and unvaccinated kids are back in school.

I went back to an indoor pool for aquacise today. There were about 20 people in the class and they are not checking vaccination status but most of the people are older and presumably vacced. I had my booster a month ago. Should I feel nervous or ok about going back? (I do walk several times a week but the aquacise really boosts my fitness and mental health.)

@janbb I think your risk of catching covid is low. I think you’re probably okay.

@Caravanfan Thanks. It felt so good to be back in the pool!

I don’t know if this is the most recent covid Q.

@Caravanfan Is your hospital testing for the variant before giving monoclonal antibody treatment?

Are you phasing out Regeneron for the Glaxo treatment. My mom told me that Glaxo is the only antibody treatment helping with Omicron infection, and upon googling that seems correct, and I just read some hospitals in Florida might stop administering Regeneron.

It wasn’t clear to me if Glaxo antibody treatment is working better on all the variants?

I read there is still a lot 40% Delta cases, and in some markets it’s a much higher percent and some much lower. 40% is just a US average.

Thanks!
