From Dr Ruth Ann Crystal's newsletter

"Across the United States admissions with COVID are up 22%. More disturbingly, hospital admissions for under the age of one with COVID are increasing

"If you are exposed to a person who has COVID, you should every 48 hours x 3 (i.e. day 1, 3, 5, 7) if you have no symptoms. If you have any symptoms, test every 48 hours at least two times (day 1, 3, 5). It is best to wear an or mask for 10 days after exposure to protect others and to isolate if you feel sick. and/or may be appropriate for some people."

Die aktuellen Varianten lösen weiterhin Verläufe auf, die ohne schwerer verlaufen als mit. Und wer nimmt, verkürzt Krankheitsdauer und -schwere. verringert zudem -Risiko.

Die Möglichkeit, an entsprechende Medikamente (und im Herbst Booster) zu kommen, ist allerdings viel geringer als sich auf der Straße harte Drogen zu besorgen.

Dr. Griffin joked (an inexpensive diabetes drug) is now considered a “poor man’s ,” which goes into the next paper: metformin reduced viral load (aka RNA copy number), but only by a teeny bit. The hosts were NOT impressed by the impact, and Dr. Racaniello wanted them to look at infectious virus. Dr. Griffin wryly observed that he wouldn’t be surprised if eventually, rich people got Paxlovid and poor people got the crappier metformin. 😅

…An earlier study used 1500mg as a dose and they actually had to stop the study because there were too many side effects. People couldn’t tolerate it.

Metformin mostly helped people under 45, the unvaccinated, and those with BMI over 30.

A pre-print they discussed before is now published! Outpatient treatment with metformin helped reduce risk by about 41%, with an absolute reduction of 4%. Dr. Griffin notes that the amount of used in this study needed to be titrated - from 500mg to 1000mg over 2 weeks. Which means if you want metformin, you need to work closely with your doctor on dosing, they can’t just give you a script for the whole regimen at once…

Reappraisal of metformin efficacy in the treatment of type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

“Although is considered the gold standard, its benefit/risk ratio remains uncertain. We cannot exclude a 25% reduction or a 31% increase in all-cause mortality. We cannot exclude a 33% reduction or a 64% increase in cardiovascular mortality. Further studies are needed to clarify this situation.”

Statistically speaking, metformin is well-tolerated; most people's don't get side effects. There people who do are mostly diarrhea that is either so mild that they ignore it, or it goes away after a week or two. Contrary to popular belief, it does NOT damage your kidneys. Of course, everyone's different; a small fraction of people may be allergic to it.

Disclaimer: I AM a doctor, but not YOUR doctor, and this is not medical advice.
