A COVID-45 Retrospective by Infectious Disease Dr Mark Crislip at Science-Based Medicine. Some snippets:
Is it too quickly for a COVID 45 retrospective? Maybe. [I don’t know why he calls it COVID 45] I believe COVID goes nowhere in my lifetime, as the present, seemingly undercounted, surge signifies. However there are two endpoints that might mark the tip of the COVID pandemic. One is that the an infection goes away. By no means gonna occur. The opposite is when as a society we transition again to regular and at some stage resolve to reside with COVID. I marked that time when the US resumed mass killings. Sadly, again to enterprise as regular.
….It’s spectacular how the R0, the variety of folks {that a} single contaminated particular person might be anticipated to contaminate, goes up with every variant. I believe the growing infectivity, however not virulence, is a results of our half-assed method to COVID an infection management. With semi-masking, semi-social distancing, and semi-vaccination, we’ve got in all probability been deciding on for extra infectious strains of COVID.
….The opposite purpose COVID goes nowhere is the relative lack of immunity after vaccination and illness. The vaccine remains to be nice for stopping extreme sickness and loss of life, each good endpoints, however with rising variants partially evading prior immunity and enormous, in each numbers and BMI, populations of unvaccinated folks, this virus will proceed to flow into eternally. Omicron appears notably good at inflicting reinfection.
….COVID appears to be an ideal storm for perpetual illness: genetic variation, marginal immunity, half-assed an infection management, and a vulnerable inhabitants. Like what we’ve got seen for the at the very least 500 years with influenza.
….Like all ID docs, I desire prevention over remedy, and stopping, or at the very least reducing, the unfold of COVID is straightforward. Masks and vaccine.
….The six-foot rule? I by no means purchased into that one. Within the hospital, the place the contaminated affected person is spewing contaminated droplets whereas mendacity in mattress not shifting in a room with hospital air dealing with, six ft of distance to stop droplet unfold is cheap. The affected person isn’t going anyplace and the air is being turned over quickly.
….The sluggish course of the illness [in its early progression to death] can also be why interventions directed on the virus appear to take action little. As a clinician, I can’t inform that remdesiver, or any remedy, is doing all that a lot.
….However steroids and different immunomodulators are efficient in treating the late inflammatory section of COVID and that shocked me. Immumomodulation has a dismal remedy report for many infectious illness, it was good to see it work.
Dr Crislip credit masking for the relative absence of flu and some other respiratory infections over the last few years. “From the epidemiology to this point, masks ought to be de rigueur throughout URI season.”
I like to recommend you RTWT.
