The UK becomes the first country to approve an antiviral pill to treat COVID-19
On Thursday, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved the use of the antiviral pill jointly developed by Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics. The molnupiravir tablet will be taken twice daily by vulnerable patients who have recently been diagnosed with COVID-19. UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid said the new treatment would be a "gamechanger" after the UK became the first country in the world to approve a drug of its kind.


UK currently has the highest case rates in the world.
Maybe my rough estimates are wrong but what astounds me about the UK is that in the last 8 months of so they have had like 4 million new cases but 15k deaths


Is it cause they are vaxxed ? Cause they are being hit with weaker covid variants?
In the US since about March we have had like 16 million new cases but 230k deaths



Something very different is going on in the UK

86% fully vaxxed 12+ in UK. 67% in US. Maybe their current case rates are high because they've dropped restrictions because of the high vax rates. And the death rates are low because so many people are vaxxed.
Ok this is weird…but the Deer are infected at an alarming rate

Eric Feigl-Ding@DrEricDing
This is worrisome news—80% of white-tailed deer in Iowa have been #SARSCoV2 infected—animals probably are contracting the virus from humans, and then rapidly spreading it among one another.


So are unvaxed hunters at great risk?
Are deer going on Vents?
I'm confused
Why are we testing deer for COVID??

21 hours after my booster/flu shot….I feel crappy due to the cold and allergies I've been dealing with for a while now, but nothing more than a sore arm fingers crossed.
I got my moderna booster 6 days ago

Nothing bad ensued


I do seem to be getting the winter blahs and crud early this year though….
