Why having a pulse oximeter is so important if you get sick. You can get one on Amazon or drug store.
Lots of contraindications and drug interactions with Paxlovid. Even if you can qualify or get it prescribed, you may not be able to take it. Here's detailed info:

https://t.co/pqcYvUf92M
Bottom line: TALK TO YOUR DOCTORS. Show them the FDA Paxlovid sheet. I'm hearing from people that some of their doctors don't know the contraindications & drug interactions, and others here are downplaying and dismissing the FDA info. Twitter is not a health care provider. ❤🙏
Pycnogenol--a pine bark extract available OTC and widely used as a supplement shows potential in post-Covid use:
Possibly relevant re: increased DVT post-Covid infection. Hat-tip @reverseyourmind
"A combination of pycnogenol, and nattokinase, is proving effective for preventing deep vein thrombosis and leg edema during prolonged air travel." holisticprimarycare.net/topics/vitamin…
Great info from another Twitter Covid threader ❤🙏👇
Excellent glasses hack -- cheaper than prescription safety glasses and better than no protection:
Keep wearing those N95s and KN95s! They work!
Oops! Never manage threads early without coffee:
The importance of probiotics and a healthy gut biome with regard to Covid:
This is your one-tweet answer to Covid deniers, minimizers and folks who have been misinformed: a mega thread of threads on the many ways SarsCov2 damages the body, even in mild infections.
Looking for potential ways to possibly (hopefully!?) improve/heal endothelial damage after Covid. I'll include this here in case it becomes relevant piece of the puzzle:
Great thread on cleaning air—how long it takes with types of fans and filters:
Caveat emptor (and talk to your doctor before adding any supplement or herb!) but I'm hearing a lot of folks talk about this:
More great info about stopping Covid in your home:
Long Covid info and resources in this comprehensive thread:
What are the odds of catching Covid based on kind of mask and who is wearing one? This is helpful:
This is also helpful for reference:
Potentially helpful and accessible:
Comprehensive info on Long Covid:
Great thread on HEPA filters!
Just read and highly recommend for our Pandemic with emerging multi-epidemics age:

"there is speculation that many of these COVID 'long haulers' will end up with permanent damage to many body organs, including their lungs, brains, kidneys, intestines, hearts and blood vessels...."
orthomolecular.org/resources/omns…
"If conventional medicine has no solution, perhaps functional medicine can find the root cause of this cellular damage and find natural strategies to address them. Some very promising treatment options can be combined into a COVID cellular repair protocol."
"The initial step in this examination of possible solutions should consider that cellular damage usually occurs in stages. This helps to explain how cellular healing is possible."

Olive leaf "secoiridoid (oleuropein and its metabolite hydroxytyrosol), triterpenes (oleanolic, ursolic, and maslinic acids), and flavonoids (luteolin and kaempferol) exhibited in silico, in vitro, or in vivo antiviral activities against SARS-CoV-2."
frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
"...Apart from the antiviral properties, these bioactive compounds significantly modulated several signaling pathways and demonstrated various activities such as anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, analgesic, immunomodulatory, and antithrombotic properties..."
"...These compounds provide a potential natural source to control the cytokine storms observed during COVID-19 infection, manage the symptoms, and protect against complications."

Starting thread on bone loss / damage with regard to Covid infection:
"SARS-CoV-2 can cause quick and significant bone loss—even when infections appear to be mild..."

Mice infected with the virus:
Lost 25% of bone mass within 2 weeks
Had 63% increase in osteoclasts--cells that cause bone to break down.

If you're finding more and more paywall articles now, may I suggest getting a public library card! Most libraries offer a free way to access most of the popular newspapers and magazines via library passes or reader apps. (I'm a library nerd. I have 7 local SoCal library cards.)
And Los Angeles pals, the @LAPublicLibrary card truly is the best card in my wallet. I think you can still apply online. 🙏❤️📚🗞️📰
And fellow film nerds: most libraries include @Kanopy as a perk -- which is a free Criterion/world cinema/arthouse/indie dream! 📽️🎞️❤️🙏

Two more people I know sick with Covid. Both on statins and one on BP Med so neither can get Paxlovid. Neither knew this was an issue. Both on day 4 & 5 of symptoms & no time to switch/stop drugs, plus concern from Dr. about blood pressure issues due to Covid.
They are a couple and assumed that test and treat meant if testing positive boom you take something like Tamiflu.
Also first tests were negative — is the a trait of the new variant?

Starting thread on Covid and its effect in autoimmune diseases:
"There is growing evidence that COVID-19 can lead to a dysregulation of the immune system with the development of autoimmune phenomena...immune dysregulation ranges from the production of autoantibodies to the onset of rheumatic autoimmune disease."
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
"So far, COVID-19 infections are linked to these different autoimmune conditions:
Guillain-Barre syndrome
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C)
Diabetes"
