September 30, 20215 yr I can't believe they would infringe upon every American's God-given right to ... fly on someone else's plane for a fee.

From a clinical sense, maybe, but not from an epidemiological sense. It's not a prophylactic, the press release doesn't imply a reduction in transmission, and it would still require early detection and administration. This is basically tamiflu for seasonal influenza (which is the role mAbs already serve with covid), and unfortunately, our track record thus far on antivirals for covid isn't great (remdesivir, liponavir, ritonavir, etc.)

I'm not crazy about the TSA and the justifications used for its genesis, but my chances of getting covid on a plane are orders of magnitude higher than someone trying to hijack it. This one seems like it should be a slam dunk but nearly half of the senate is representing a death cult so I take nothing for granted anymore.

TBH, the risk of Covid from the flight itself is pretty small given how quickly the air in the cabin is replaced. The security lines and waiting around the gate? Riskier.

But yeah in any case, the inevitable comparisons to overreach that led to the TSA aren't gonna fly with me (teehee.) The level of risk is not even remotely the same.

Yeah it's basically the convenience factor of being able to swing by CVS and scoop up a bottle of these when you start feeling that tickle in your throat. Much easier than having to drive farther to a clinic/hospital to get an IV infusion of mAbs.

Just remember that once you significantly further reduce air travel, there is a ripple economic effect that will create a whole slew of other unintended consequences that could be worse than the risk of getting infected with Covid (or Gd knows what else you can get infected with in flight). There was a spike in suicides along with illness and death from other non-Covid causes during the lockdowns, not to mention countless businesses and livelihoods ruined.
September 30, 20215 yr I do have to give a big shout out to the docs, nurses, techs that are still caring for patients with other issues during this pandemic. They care, they take my concerns seriously and for that I am grateful! I passed a mammogram and ultrasound this morning. I don’t have to see that squishing my boobs machine for an entire year!!! Only took 3 years! Birads 2!! Plus I reported pain which I have right now and I believe it’s from exercise of all things! Cancer, puketober, and COVID be damned !!! Getting a flu shot next week at the pharmacy. Also free. At the cube in the office it’s freezing. AC running around 72. I think because a few there are un vaxxed they are keeping the air moving ?

Thanks for your input Mr. NotAnAntivaxer. Sucks that your fellow trumpbots won't be able to fly soon. Maybe those poor flight attendants won't have to deal with so many belligerent idiots on their flights finally.

And I’ll add that we don’t even know yet how the lockdowns will affect our children but it certainly isn’t good for them. And to think of all the seniors who missed out on their last year of HS and all the student athletes whose dreams were crushed.

Sucks for you that you won't be able to afford to pay your mortgage, get you or your kids health insurance or put food on the table for your family. Poor you .

You get a spike of cases and then the amount of new cases eventually slows down. Does this surprise you? There will likely be a new wave soon enough unfortunately.

October 1, 20215 yr If the difference between being being able to pay for health insurance on my kid or not was a buncha inbred morons being granted permission to fly, I'd probably have offed myself by now.
