#prevent coronavirus

[iliveinprocrasti-nationn]

fauci saying “vulnerable people will fall by the wayside” and that some will die but that’s ok because we’re not going to see the “tsunami of cases” we’ve seen before is so dehumanising. so babies with no immune system, elderly people, disabled people, and people without adequate access to healthcare can all die of covid. but it’s ok guys because actually they’re just falling to the wayside and everyone else will go back to normal and be fine (sarcasm).

my death or the deaths of my family or friends wouldn’t be us “falling by the wayside”, it would be us being failed by our government, healthcare systems, and communities who have refused to take coronavirus seriously despite mounting anecdotal and scientific evidence of the harm this virus does. fact that people can accept the deaths of vulnerable groups just because they want to eat in a restaurant or don’t want to wear a mask is horrifying

From the report by Beth Mole, posted 29 Feb 2024:

In a lengthy background document, the agency laid out its rationale for consolidating COVID-19 guidance into general guidance for respiratory viruses—including influenza, RSV, adenoviruses, rhinoviruses, enteroviruses, and others, though specifically not measles. The agency also noted the guidance does not apply to health care settings and outbreak scenarios. "COVID-19 remains an important public health threat, but it is no longer the emergency that it once was, and its health impacts increasingly resemble those of other respiratory viral illnesses, including influenza and RSV," the agency wrote. The most notable change in the new guidance is the previously reported decision to no longer recommend a minimum five-day isolation period for those infected with the pandemic coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. Instead, the new isolation guidance is based on symptoms, which matches long-standing isolation guidance for other respiratory viruses, including influenza. "The updated Respiratory Virus Guidance recommends people with respiratory virus symptoms that are not better explained by another cause stay home and away from others until at least 24 hours after both resolution of fever AND overall symptom are getting better," the document states. "This recommendation addresses the period of greatest infectiousness and highest viral load for most people, which is typically in the first few days of illness and when symptoms, including fever, are worst." The CDC acknowledged that the eased isolation guidance will create "residual risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission," and that most people are no longer infectious only after 8 to 10 days. As such, the agency urged people to follow additional interventions—including masking, testing, distancing, hygiene, and improving air quality—for five additional days after their isolation period. "Today’s announcement reflects the progress we have made in protecting against severe illness from COVID-19," CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen said in a statement. "However, we still must use the commonsense solutions we know work to protect ourselves and others from serious illness from respiratory viruses—this includes vaccination, treatment, and staying home when we get sick." Overall, the agency argued that a shorter isolation period would be inconsequential. Other countries and states that have similarly abandoned fixed isolation times did not see jumps in COVID-19 emergency department visits or hospitalizations, the CDC pointed out. And most people who have COVID-19 don't know they have it anyway, making COVID-19-specific guidance moot, the agency argued. In a recent CDC survey, less than half of people said they would test for SARS-CoV-2 if they had a cough or cold symptoms, and less than 10 percent said they would go to a pharmacy or health care provider to get tested. Meanwhile, "The overall sensitivity of COVID-19 antigen tests is relatively low and even lower in individuals with only mild symptoms," the agency said. The CDC also raised practical concerns for isolation, including a lack of paid sick leave for many, social isolation, and "societal costs." The points are likely to land poorly with critics. “The CDC is again prioritizing short-term business interests over our health by caving to employer pressure on COVID guidelines. This is a pattern we’ve seen throughout the pandemic,” Lara Jirmanus, Clinical Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, said in a press release last month after the news first broke of the CDC's planned isolation update. Jirmanus is a member of the People's CDC, a group that advocates for more aggressive COVID-19 policies, which put out the press release. Another member of the group, Sam Friedman, a professor of population health at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, also blasted the CDC's stance last month. The guidance will "make workplaces and public spaces even more unsafe for everyone, particularly for people who are high-risk for COVID complications," he said.

But, the CDC argues that the threat of COVID-19 is fading. Hospitalizations, deaths, prevalence of long COVID, and COVID-19 complications in children (MIS-C) are all down. COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective at preventing severe disease, death, and to some extent, long COVID—we just need more people to get them. Over 95% of adults hospitalized with COVID-19 in the 2023–2024 respiratory season had no record of receiving the seasonal booster dose, the agency noted. Only 22% of adults got the latest shot, including only 42% of people ages 65 and older. In contrast, 48% of adults got the latest flu shot, including 73% of people ages 65 and older. But even with the crummy vaccination rates for COVID-19, a mix of past infection and shots have led to a substantial protection in the overall population. The CDC even went as far as arguing that COVID-19 deaths have fallen to a level that is similar to what's seen with flu. "Reported deaths involving COVID-19 are several-fold greater than those reported to involve influenza and RSV. However, influenza and likely RSV are often underreported as causes of death," the CDC said. In the 2022–2023 respiratory virus season, there were nearly 90,000 reported COVID-19 deaths. For flu, there were 9,559 reported deaths, but the CDC estimates the true number to be between 18,000 and 97,000. In the current season, there have been 32,949 reported COVID-19 deaths to date and 5,854 reported flu deaths, but the agency estimates the real flu deaths are between 17,000 and 50,000. "Total COVID-19 deaths, accounting for underreporting, are likely to be higher than, but of the same order of magnitude as, total influenza deaths," the agency concluded.

Prevent Senior faces major lawsuit over pandemic wrongdoings

State, federal, and labor prosecutors in São Paulo on Tuesday announced a lawsuit against Prevent Senior, one of Brazil’s largest health insurance providers, demanding BRL 940 million (USD 189 million) in compensation for damages caused during the first two years of the Covid pandemic.

The company’s conduct, according to the prosecutors, included workplace harassment, workplace violations, testing on humans without proper authorization from the National Research Ethics Commission, and violations of medical autonomy, public health, and the rights of patients and health insurance consumers.

The company’s management, the prosecutors said, prohibited doctors and other employees from wearing masks and kept employees who tested positive for Covid on the job. Doctors were also morally harassed into prescribing so-called “Covid kits” to patients, which included drugs that were proven ineffective in treating the virus.

someone just called me the n-word in my inbox for my COVID booster post which is wild. i..... honest to fucking God thought you guys were all dead already??

I fell for propaganda and was turned against those I have always wanted to root for

I wanted to send this to the CDC somehow, but the email contact form on their website has a character limit and I'm incapable of being concise. I thought this might be helpful for some people to see because it took me a while to reflect on.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, living in Florida, being young and trans and traumatized by the current political climate and dangers posed by the pandemic, I was swayed by likely a mix of propaganda and a fear and anger response to the amount of stress that time came with. I found myself trusting in the CDC less because of several things that I never fully examined until now recently. It was all just a mix of fear and hopeless rage about public health and my fears about our political climate, and much of that was directed at the CDC. Upon examining this recently, I think this was because I assumed the CDC had more power than it may actually have in enforcing public health. I thought isolation periods could be more solidly mandated, that mask wearing could be solidly mandated, and so on. I assumed the CDC had more control over when schools reopened for children (I now realize a lot of this is controlled by states individually or even more locally), and in my fear of the pandemic and distrust in the CDC sowed by being worried about the country as a whole, I even failed to fully weigh the consideration that virtual learning has a significant impact on Anyone’s mental health and that for children especially, social and emotional development should be fostered and that is an issue that gravely concerns mental health extending to the rest of their lives. I thought the CDC could require employers to keep allowing employees to have sick days when testing positive, so they wouldn't have to make a choice between risking their job and livelihood versus strangers’ physical health and possibly risking permanent damage or death for some with no way to tell (I'm grateful that the risk has been reduced so much by vaccines/boosters and being cautious with masking and washing hands, but I feel it is so important to allow isolation away from work when it concerns transmission and health and recovery). I particularly was swayed more into distrust when I heard that Delta airlines wrote a letter asking the CDC to update isolation periods for vaccinated individuals who would still be required to mask, believing there was no new data to give confidence to such a change in recommendations (10 day isolation period to 5 day isolation and next 5 days with a mask), but found there explicitly was reasoning given on the CDC update from that time available to view on the website’s archives (these have been very helpful because the time of all of this was an emotional traumatizing blur, so specifics are hard to remember). Before I examined this all more after the fact, this led me to believe that the CDC was influenced by economic concerns and the workforce instead of public health and keeping those workers alive and healthy, and furthered my distrust.

I am glad that now I have further examined where this distrust has come from and found that it was irrational on my part, and I regret that I carried on with this tainted view of the CDC for so long. I have struggled with this because I did have a strong trust in the CDC and felt more unsure of where I should find reliable information, knowing the CDC certainly has more expertise than I and has likely devoted a lot of time and research to any particular consideration I might come up with. I hope if others were similarly swayed by political propaganda that sought to utilize fear and stress from the pandemic, that they too come to reexamine how they came to think that way and find trust in this institution of scientists who are clearly passionate about public health and finding ways to keep all of us safe with many unpredictable variables to consider. I feel very ashamed that I allowed my trust in the CDC to be shaken to this extent. I hope scientific research, public health concerns, environmental concerns, and any crisis that requires humanity to understand facts and cooperate is taken more seriously and listened to from experts in each respective field and not turned into political opinions one way or the other. I am so devastated by all the damage COVID has done that feels like it could've been so preventable if this didn't become a political issue and remained a public health crisis to work through cooperatively. I have now come to see that I think the CDC did as much as it could through all of this with all of the consideration at the time and with its limited influence amidst political stress.

Thank you everyone at the CDC, I am sorry that I fell for this propaganda, and I would like to talk to as many people in my life about addressing propaganda and fully considering that no one is fully safe from falling prey to propaganda and biases we don't realize are tainting our full view. Thank you again so much for everything incredible that you have done for humanity. Be kind to yourselves everyone, shit has been so hard honestly.

The Evolution and Impact of Public Health: A Comprehensive Overview

https://enterprisechronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/3-The-Evolution-and-Impact-of-Public-Health_-A-Comprehensive-Overview.jpg

In today’s world, the importance of public health(PH) cannot be overstated. As a cornerstone of community well-being and disease prevention, the health sector encompasses a broad range of activities aimed at improving and safeguarding the health of populations. This comprehensive guide explores the evolution of PH, its key components, current challenges, and future directions, highlighting its critical role in enhancing quality of life.

Understanding Public Health

Public health is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to improving health at the community or population level. Unlike clinical medicine, which focuses on treating individuals, it addresses health issues through broad strategies and policies designed to benefit entire populations.

Historical Context

The concept of public health has evolved significantly over the centuries. Early efforts, such as sanitation improvements and quarantine practices, set the stage for modern health initiatives. The establishment of dedicated health departments in the 19th and 20th centuries marked a significant advancement in focusing on disease control and health promotion.

Core Components

Epidemiology: This area studies the patterns, causes, and effects of diseases within populations. Epidemiologists use statistical methods to track health trends and develop strategies to combat diseases.

Environmental Health: Focused on the impact of environmental factors on health, this component aims to improve living conditions and reduce health risks associated with pollution, climate change, and other environmental issues.

Health Education and Promotion: This involves educating communities about healthy behaviors and lifestyle choices. PH campaigns often address issues like smoking cessation, nutrition, and physical activity.

Health Policy and Management: This area deals with developing and implementing policies and programs to improve the efficiency of diagnosis. It includes managing healthcare systems, funding, and regulations to ensure effective delivery of healthcare services.

Biostatistics: This field applies statistical techniques to analyze data related to healthcare. Biostatisticians help interpret data from research studies and health reports to guide decisions.

Current Challenges 

Despite advancements, PH faces several challenges that impact its effectiveness:

1. Emerging Infectious Diseases

The emergence of new infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, underscores the need for robust healthcare responses. Effective monitoring, vaccine development, and treatment are essential to managing these threats.

2. Health Disparities

Health disparities among different populations remain a significant concern. Socioeconomic factors, racial and ethnic inequalities, and access to healthcare services contribute to variations in health outcomes. Addressing these disparities is crucial for achieving equity.

3. Chronic Disease Management

Chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease pose substantial challenges. To overcome these challenges, the efforts focus on prevention, education, and early intervention to manage these conditions effectively.

4. Environmental and Climate Change

Changes in the environment and climate impact public health by altering disease patterns and affecting air and water quality. Addressing these issues is vital for maintaining and improving community health.

5. Health Behavior and Lifestyle

Promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyles remains a key focus in PH. Strategies to address issues such as poor diet, lack of exercise, and substance abuse are essential for improving overall health.

Innovations and Strategies 

To address current challenges, healthcare professionals are developing innovative strategies:

1. Advanced Surveillance Systems

Modern surveillance systems enhance PH by monitoring health trends and tracking disease outbreaks. These systems enable timely responses and guide interventions.

2. Precision 

Precision uses data analytics and genomics to tailor interventions to specific populations. This approach aims to improve the effectiveness of public health strategies by considering individual and community-level factors.

3. Global Health Initiatives

Global health initiatives address health issues on an international scale. Organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) work to improve health outcomes and strengthen health systems globally.

4. Community-Based Interventions

Community-based interventions involve collaborating with local organizations to address health needs. This approach ensures that PH programs are culturally relevant and effective.

5. Digital Health Technologies

Digital health technologies, including mobile apps and telemedicine, are transforming the healthcare sector by improving access to healthcare services and enhancing patient engagement.

The Future 

As we look to the future, several key areas will shape the evolution of PH:

1. Strengthening Global Health Security

Building global health security involves improving preparedness and response capabilities for health emergencies. International collaboration and investment in health infrastructure are critical for resilience.

2. Promoting Health Equity

Reducing health disparities and promoting equity will remain as central efforts. Strategies to address inequalities in healthcare access and outcomes are essential for achieving fairness in health.

3. Embracing Innovation and Technology

Future advancements will likely be driven by innovation and technology. Embracing new tools, such as artificial intelligence and big data, will enhance public health research and interventions.

4. Fostering Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Effective public health requires collaboration across various disciplines. Partnerships between healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and communities will be vital for addressing complex health issues.

Conclusion

Public health plays a critical role in enhancing the well-being of communities worldwide. By understanding its core components, addressing current challenges, and embracing innovative strategies, professionals can drive positive change and improve health outcomes.

The ongoing evolution of public health reflects its adaptability and resilience in facing new health threats and opportunities. Prioritizing the health of society is essential for achieving a healthier, more equitable world. Investing in the healthcare sector is not just about managing diseases; it’s about fostering healthier communities and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthy life.

Opinion Here’s how to get free Paxlovid as many times as you need it

When the public health emergency around covid-19 ended, vaccines and treatments became commercial products, meaning companies could charge for them as they do other pharmaceuticals. Paxlovid, the highly effective antiviral pill that can prevent covid from becoming severe, now has a list price of nearly $1,400 for a five-day treatment course.

Thanks to an innovative agreement between the Biden administration and the drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer, Americans can still access the medication free or at very low cost through a program called Paxcess. The problem is that too few people — including pharmacists — are aware of it.

I learned of Paxcess only after readers wrote that pharmacies were charging them hundreds of dollars — or even the full list price — to fill their Paxlovid prescription. This shouldn’t be happening. A representative from Pfizer, which runs the program, explained to me that patients on Medicare and Medicaid or who are uninsured should get free Paxlovid. They need to sign up by going to paxlovid.iassist.com or by calling 877-219-7225. “We wanted to make enrollment as easy and as quick as possible,” the representative said.

Indeed, the process is straightforward. I clicked through the web form myself, and there are only three sets of information required. Patients first enter their name, date of birth and address. They then input their prescriber’s name and address and select their insurance type.

All this should take less than five minutes and can be done at home or at the pharmacy. A physician or pharmacist can fill it out on behalf of the patient, too. Importantly, this form does not ask for medical history, proof of a positive coronavirus test, income verification, citizenship status or other potentially sensitive and time-consuming information.

But there is one key requirement people need to be aware of: Patients must have a prescription for Paxlovid to start the enrollment process. It is not possible to pre-enroll. (Though, in a sense, people on Medicare or Medicaid are already pre-enrolled.)

Once the questionnaire is complete, the website generates a voucher within seconds. People can print it or email it themselves, and then they can exchange it for a free course of Paxlovid at most pharmacies.

Pfizer’s representative tells me that more than 57,000 pharmacies are contracted to participate in this program, including major chain drugstores such as CVS and Walgreens and large retail chains such as Walmart, Kroger and Costco. For those unable to go in person, a mail-order option is available, too.

The program works a little differently for patients with commercial insurance. Some insurance plans already cover Paxlovid without a co-pay. Anyone who is told there will be a charge should sign up for Paxcess, which would further bring down their co-pay and might even cover the entire cost.

Several readers have attested that Paxcess’s process was fast and seamless. I was also glad to learn that there is basically no limit to the number of times someone could use it. A person who contracts the coronavirus three times in a year could access Paxlovid free or at low cost each time.

Unfortunately, readers informed me of one major glitch: Though the Paxcess voucher is honored when presented, some pharmacies are not offering the program proactively. As a result, many patients are still being charged high co-pays even if they could have gotten the medication at no cost.

This is incredibly frustrating. However, after interviewing multiple people involved in the process, including representatives of major pharmacy chains and Biden administration officials, I believe everyone is sincere in trying to make things right. As we saw in the early days of the coronavirus vaccine rollout, it’s hard to get a new program off the ground. Policies that look good on paper run into multiple barriers during implementation.

Those involved are actively identifying and addressing these problems. For instance, a Walgreens representative explained to me that in addition to educating pharmacists and pharmacy techs about the program, the company learned it also had to make system changes to account for a different workflow. Normally, when pharmacists process a prescription, they inform patients of the co-pay and dispense the medication. But with Paxlovid, the system needs to stop them if there is a co-pay, so they can prompt patients to sign up for Paxcess.

Here is where patients and consumers must take a proactive role. That might not feel fair; after all, if someone is ill, people expect that the system will work to help them. But that’s not our reality. While pharmacies work to fix their system glitches, patients need to be their own best advocates. That means signing up for Paxcess as soon as they receive a Paxlovid prescription and helping spread the word so that others can get the antiviral at little or no cost, too.
