New findings from two studies have tied use of the antiviral drug nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (Paxlovid) to a reduction in COVID-19 hospitalizations and death, as well as to faster resolution of symptoms and less use of healthcare resources.
Benefit seen only in older patients For the first study, published in Clinical Microbiology and Infection, a Medical University of Viennaâled research team compared the effectiveness of Paxlovid with that of the antiviral drug molnupiravir (Lagevrio)âand with that of not receiving an antiviralâagainst hospitalization and all-cause death from January 2022 to May 2023. Participants were adults with mild to moderate infections and one or more risk factors for severe illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant.
"The oral antivirals nirmatrelvir-ritonavir and molnupiravir are the mainstay treatment for Covid-19 in non-hospitalised adults at increased risk of severe disease," the study authors wrote. "Both oral antivirals were approved at the time of the study period (2022/2023) for the treatment of non-hospitalised patients with mild-to-moderate Covid-19, but the current National Institute of Health guidelines favour nirmatrelvir-ritonavir over molnupiravir."
Of the 113,399 eligible COVID-19 patients in the retrospective cohort study, 10.7% received Paxlovid, 9.5% received molnupiravir, and 80.0% served as untreated controls. Over 96% of participants were previously infected with or vaccinated against COVID-19.
A total of 0.43% of Paxlovid recipients, 1.4% of molnupiravir users, and 1.13% of controls were hospitalized within 28 days (risk difference [RD], -0.7%; Paxlovid vs control RD, 0.26%). No Paxlovid recipients and 0.13% each of molnupiravir users and controls died.
The estimated risk of hospitalization was 0.57% in Paxlovid users and 1.09% in controls (adjusted RD [aRD], -0.53%). The estimated risk of death was 0.0% in the Paxlovid group and 0.13% in controls (aRD, -0.13%).
The number of patients needed to treat to prevent hospitalization and death was 190 in Paxlovid recipients and 792 in controls, respectively. These statistically significant aRDs were seen only among patients 60 years and older.
The estimated risk of hospitalization in the molnupiravir analysis was 1.36% in the molnupiravir group and 1.16% among controls (aRD, 0.2%). The estimated risk of death was 0.12% in molnupiravir recipients and 0.14% in controls (aRD, -0.01%).
"Among outpatients aged â„60 years with Covid-19 in an Omicron-dominated era, treatment with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir was associated with a lower risk of hospitalisation and all-cause death within 28 days, albeit with wide confidence intervals and high numbers needed to treat," the study authors wrote.
"This finding was not observed in molnupiravir users and younger nirmatrelvir-ritonavir users. Future studies are needed to better define target populations that show greater benefit from treatment with nirmatrelvir-ritonavir," they concluded.
Proportion of patients seeking care slashed 73% The second study, a phase 2/3 randomized clinical trial published today in Clinical Infectious Diseases, also found protection against COVID-19 hospitalization and death in adults receiving Paxlovid and demonstrated a faster resolution of symptoms and lower use of healthcare resources compared with a placebo in high-risk patients.
The research was led by researchers from Pfizer, which developed Paxlovid. The drug was given to 977 symptomatic COVID-19 patients, while 989 were given a placebo, at 343 sites in 21 countries from July 2021 through December 2021, a Delta-predominant period.
Paxlovid significantly shortened the time to symptom relief (median, 13 vs 15 days; hazard ratio, 1.27) and resolution (16 vs 19 days; HR, 1.20) through 28 days and cut the number of COVID-related medical visits by 64.3% and the proportion of patients seeking care by 73.2%.
In total, 0.9% of Paxlovid recipients and 6.4% in the placebo group were hospitalized, for a relative risk reduction of 85.5%. Hospitalized Paxlovid recipients had briefer hospital stays, and none required intensive care or mechanical ventilation. Fewer patients in the Paxlovid group needed other COVID-19 treatments, and none died by 6 months, compared with 15 in the placebo group.
"The importance of having effective COVID-19 treatments such as NMV/r [Paxlovid] to reduce burden on healthcare systems, both ambulatory and hospital based, should not be underestimated," the authors wrote.

Masking and Protests
In a win for community care,masks are being used broadly at recent protests on college campuses across the country, making these protests more accessible as well as showing solidarity with disabled communities. Some college campuses have attempted to ban or discourage masking at protests. University of Texas at Austinâs Provost issued a statement including a rule banning masks, and University of North Carolinaâs Provost asked protestors not to mask, citing a state law from 1953 enacted in response to the KKK. Notably, the North Carolina mask law contains an amendment, introduced in 2020, to allow masking âto ensure the physical health or safety of the wearer or othersâ (see PDF link to the amendment).
Masking at protests must be allowed to make protests accessible for disabled and immunocompromised people, and safer for everyone. COVID and other infectious diseases can spread both indoors and outdoors, especially in crowded settings. Share our guide to accessible protests on Instagram or Substack, and also check out our statement and call to action on Palestine. Also consider supporting mask distribution efforts such as local mask blocs, which may be seeing increased demand related to protests.
Wins
Remember our allies at the University of California Academic Worker Union from our January 2023 webinar, who fought for COVID safety protections? They're running for office this week on the executive board of UAW local 4811. Check out their slateâwhich includes disability justice and COVID protectionsâand learn how to vote here.
The Weather
The CDCâs reported COVID wastewater levels by state show âLowâ or âMinimalâ wastewater levels across all reporting states and territories as of April 25, with no data available from North Dakota, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam.
Wastewater levels across all four regions are at lower levels than this yearâs fall-winter peaks, with all regions showing either a slowing of the rate of decrease or a leveling off. You can still be infected during times of lower wastewater COVID levels. Precautions including consistent masking in all public spaces are still necessary in our daily lives to reduce the risk of infection, to prevent Long COVID, and to practice community care.
Variants
The CDCâs variant tracking has been updated and now shows many JN.1 sublineages, including KP.2, JN.1.7, and JN.1.13.1. Regional variant NowCast predictions are not available as of April 26 for any US region.
COVID Treatment
With the end of the national Test to Treat program in mid-April, we have lost an important route for affordable and convenient access to Paxlovid. Still, Paxlovid continues to be an important treatment to prevent the development of severe COVID. A few important facts about Paxlovid eligibility that people may not be aware of:
Paxlovid can be started within 5-7 days of the start of COVID symptoms. Initially, starting within 5 days was the recommendation. The extended window for treatment is particularly important as folks may test positive later in the course of their infection, sometimes a few days after symptoms develop.Â
People aged 50 and older are eligible even if they do not have other medical conditions.
Younger people with certain medical conditions may also be eligible for Paxlovid.
The PAXCESS program may provide a Paxlovid discount from the manufacturer and provides free Paxlovid for people who receive Medicare or Medicaid and uninsured people without prescription drug benefits.Â
If you are infected with COVID, make sure you also talk with your doctor about over-the-counter medications or supplements you may be taking. Even over-the-counter medications can have significant risks that should be discussed in the context of your individual medical history.
COVID Prevention
An effective multilayered approach to COVID prevention should include proven measures such as masking with high-quality respirators (N95s, KN96s, KF94s or better), improving indoor air quality with ventilation and filtration, physical distancing, getting the latest vaccines, and using COVID tests appropriately. Unproven methods should not be considered part of a multilayered approach. Topical nasal products such as sprays or ointments may seem tempting but are not proven to prevent COVID infections (none are FDA approved for COVID) and may have risks. For example, Vaseline and petrolatum-based ointments can cause pneumonia if applied to the inside of the nose, as they may be subsequently inhaled where they can damage the lungs. Over-the-counter antibiotic ointments are intended to protect from bacterial infection in minor skin wounds and should not be used inside the nose. Although early research on other uses has been publicized, given the risks of petrolatum-based ointments if used in the nose, it is important to wait for larger scale studies to understand both potential risks and benefits. Colloidal silver, sometimes touted in nasal spray form, is not proven to treat or prevent any medical condition and can cause permanent gray pigmentation of the skin as well as other serious side effects. Research studies shared in the news or on social media should not be used in place of medical advice from an individual healthcare provider you trust.Â
While we expect masking and other multilayered precautions to remain a mainstay of prevention, we hope that further research will lead to FDA-approval/authorization of additional drugs for COVID treatment and prevention in the future.
Measles
Measles outbreaks within the US continue, with the first Wisconsin case being reported. Measles transmits through the air as well as through contact with surfaces, and is highly contagious. Now is a good time to check vaccination records for yourself and your loved ones, get any catch-up vaccinations, and check with your local healthcare provider if you are uncertain about vaccination or immunity status. In some cases, lab testing for measles immunity (antibody titers) can be helpful.
Take Action
Use MaskTogetherAmericaâs letter campaign to ask your elected officials to reinstate the Test to Treat program for free and convenient COVID and influenza testing, telehealth, and treatment access.
Support science-based COVID isolation guidance from the CDC using our letter campaign to contact your elected officials or sign on to our expert letter.
If you know someone who is organizing a protest, share our guide to accessible protests with them, via Instagram or Substack.

Covid 19 wasn't enough
 Covid 19 wasn't enough so besides the train derailments contaminating water, factories burning down they now invented a fungal that is not curable by antibiotics or any kind of medication.Â
The fungal is called Candida auris or C. Auris. They are saying it is a yeast type of fungus that is spreading through health care facilities.
 Apparently it was only in 3 states back in 2016 but has spread to 20-27 states in 2022 but now is in 30 states.
 Why are they just now sharing this? Why are they just now talking about it now that the Covid has died down and no longer causing a panic?
This is probably to lead to another panic and pandemic as if the train derailments, the factories burning down and everything else going on in the world is not enough.

every person should be masked at all times within medical facilities. period. pandemic or not. why is this not treated as a normal fucking safety requirement/precaution like wearing gloves?
#iâm so fucking sick of these medical professionals celebrating mask mandate removals#any doctor not masking should have their license revoked#go fuck yourselves#truly#people should feel safe when seeking medical care and medical facilities should be doing everything to make them safe#with masks and air purifiers running and spaced out seating#itâs not that hard to be cautious and empathetic for fucks sake#iâm so tired#iâm putting off seeking treatment because itâs not safe and thatâs WRONG#i shouldnât have to do that#tw covid#tw coronavirus

not to be annoyed at ppl who are annoying but if a headline says 'a hundred million americans are exposed to HEART DISEASE bc of VACCINES' and then the subtitle is '2.8 % of ppl studied had elevated protein levels that are known to be heart disease risk factors' then the body of the text says 'we only looked at ppl with extremely stressful jobs' and you think covid vaccines are dangerous maybe you just cant fucking read
#not to mention the article goes on to recommend doing home remedies#like taking vitamine c supplements to avoid getting sick instead of getting vaccinated#ndhdmdj OKAY girlies#if covid can give you heart disease anyway what in the fuck do u care abt these vaccines for#u think a few more vitamines and maybe a little ivermectin (fucking lice treatment) is gonna prevent a fucking infection?#u think ur immune system magically even knows what coronavirus looks like to attack it when its never seen it before ?#u like it when hoardes of ppl die for your convenience bc u think your not a carrier??

Opinion Hereâs 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 drugâs 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 â including pharmacists â are aware of it.
I learned of Paxcess only after readers wrote that pharmacies were charging them hundreds of dollars â or even the full list price â to fill their Paxlovid prescription. This shouldnât 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. âWe wanted to make enrollment as easy and as quick as possible,â 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 prescriberâs 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.
Pfizerâs 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 Paxcessâs 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, itâs 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 thatâs 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.

The Weather
A study in Clinical Infectious Diseases reported âthat the risk of developing symptomatic illness within 14 days was 5 times greater when contacts were exposed to an asymptomatic [COVID]-positive child in their household.â Nearly 11% of household contacts developed symptoms within 14 days of exposure. The study also found, during a 3-month follow-up, that 6 out of 77 asymptomatic children developed Long COVID. The likelihood of developing symptoms from asymptomatic exposure is higher than we might expect. Continue to spread awareness of asymptomatic spread and advocate for increased infection control measures at your local schools.
COVID wastewater levels are decreasing. As of 3/29/24, New Mexico is âVery High,â Arkansas and Kentucky are âHigh,â and the rest of the states are âModerateâ to âLowâ levels of SARS-CoV-2 detected in wastewater.Â
Wastewater levels continue to show a downward trend in the provisional data (gray shaded area) in all regions. The national wastewater levels are overall indicated as âLow.â While lower wastewater levels indicate decreased spread, it is important to continue to take precautions against infection. Holidays and spring breaks may bring people in closer proximity, so be sure to wear a mask to protect yourself and your community.
Wins
As we work to take more actions against the removal of vital public health measures, we remind you that you can still watch the recording of the Peopleâs CDC press conference from March 13 and read the press release here. We would also like to remind you of the pre-proof of the Peopleâs CDC External Review in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine Focus. The publication highlights the shortcomings of the CDCâs approach to public health and recommends a more equitable pandemic response.
News sources have published articles about the frustrations of people who continue to take COVID precautions. Time Magazine published an article presenting âboth sides,â highlighting protest from people working with the CDC and concern from citizens and experts alike. While we are glad to see our voices be published in popular media, we are also saddened that âreturning to normalâ under economic and political pressure is so valued.
Treatments
Invyvid has received an FDA emergency use authorization for Pemgarda, a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for people with immunocompromising conditions. Pemgarda is approved for people 12 and older with moderate to severe immunocompromise who are less likely to produce an adequate immune response to COVID vaccination alone. According to a press release from Invyvid, Pemgarda will release to market âimminently.â
Pre-exposure prophylaxis is commonly used for folks at high risk for exposure to HIV. As access to PrEP for HIV has been instrumental in keeping people safe, we hope that PrEP for COVID will be a useful tool for our community members with immune compromise. We also urge you to continue to wear high-quality masks and take other precautions to protect those most vulnerable.
Long COVID
People Magazine recently published an article highlighting an essay by Ziyad Al-Aly, physician and clinical epidemiologist, that pools data from several studies showing that COVID infection has lasting impacts on brain health. The review points out several impacts to cognitive functioning, including memory loss, spatial reasoning, and planning. Additionally, imaging studies have shown significant impact to brain tissue from inflammation, among other processes. The publication may be validating to those who experience lower cognitive function following COVID infection, including brain fog and memory dysfunction.
Take Action
We know that taking precautionsâincluding masking, testing, and improving air qualityâhelps prevent the spread of airborne viral infection. Introducing more stringent precautions slowed outbreaks in the hematology ward of a hospital. The CDC recently released tips to improve ventilation. Help us urge the CDC to take other measures, including reinstating isolation periods.Â
Additionally, the home Test to Treat program is ending in April 2024. The program provides un-or-underinsured adults with free COVID and flu tests. If a participant in the program tests positive, they can also receive free healthcare via telehealth services. Join us to help save the program that helps so many at-risk people!

The experts at Infinity Care discuss some details of COVID-19
Corona has once again caused concern; after China and Japan, the new variant of Corona is spreading rapidly in India now. The coronavirus is a very subtle but effective virus. Coronavirus is 900 times smaller than human hair, but coronavirus infection is the first life-threatening virus to spread rapidly around the world.
The coronavirus belongs to a family of viruses whose infection can cause problems ranging from a cold to shortness of breath. This virus has never been seen before. The infection of this virus started in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. According to the WHO, fever, coughing, and shortness of breath are symptoms.

PREMATURE EJACULATION
WHAT IS PREMATURE EJACULATION ?
- Â Premature ejaculation is a common sexual disorder in which a man ejaculates (releases semen) earlier than he or his partner desires during sexual activity. It often occurs with minimal sexual stimulation and can lead to distress or frustration. The specific duration that is considered "premature" can vary, but generally, if it happens consistently and causes distress, it may be a concern. It can have various causes, including psychological and physical factors, and can be treated through counseling, behavioral techniques, or medication, depending on the underlying causes.CAUSES OF PREMATURE EJACULATION :
Premature ejaculation can have various causes, which may include:
Psychological factors: Stress, anxiety, performance pressure, and relationship issues can contribute to premature ejaculation. These psychological factors can affect a person's ability to control their ejaculation.
Biological factors: Some men may have hypersensitive penile skin or an overactive ejaculatory reflex, which can make them more prone to premature ejaculation.
Hormonal imbalances: An imbalance in hormone levels, such as serotonin, can influence ejaculation control.
Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, like erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, or thyroid problems, can contribute to premature ejaculation.
Medications: Some medications may have side effects that affect ejaculation, either by speeding it up or delaying it.
Lifestyle factors: Poor sexual habits, excessive alcohol or drug use, and lack of physical activity can also be contributing factors.
Inexperience: For some individuals, premature ejaculation may be a result of inexperience with sexual activity, and with time and practice, this issue may resolve.
PREMATURE EJACULATION IS CLASSIFIED INTO 2 CATEGORIES :
Primary (Lifelong):Â This type of condition has been seen almost every time since the beginning of sexual activity.
Secondary (Acquired):Â This type usually develops later in the stage and where previous sexual experiences did not have any problem.
SYMPTOMS OF PREMATURE EJACULATION :
The primary symptom of premature ejaculation is the inability to delay ejaculation during sexual activity, often leading to ejaculation occurring earlier than desired by the individual or their partner. Some common symptoms and characteristics associated with premature ejaculation include:
Ejaculation occurring within one to two minutes of penetration or even before penetration.
The inability to control when ejaculation happens, often with minimal sexual stimulation.
A persistent and recurrent pattern of early ejaculation that causes distress or dissatisfaction for either the individual or their partner.
Frustration, anxiety, or embarrassment related to sexual performance.
Avoidance of sexual intimacy or a reduced desire for sexual activity due to the fear of premature ejaculation.
DIAGNOSIS OF PREMATURE EJACULATION :
