Seems that a trial or observation was noting it keeping off of ventilator. Should have posted when saw it a couple of days ago. link ▶️ Posted Sunday at 08:40 PM Low-dose aspirin may help avoid COVID's worst outcomes A new study is adding to the growing body of evidence that low-dose aspirin helps lessen the harsher effects of contracting the coronavirus. The study, conducted by George Washington University researchers and published in the journal Anesthesia and Analgesia, examined the records of 412 patients admitted to U.S. hospitals with COVID-19 from March to July of last year. Of those, nearly 24% had taken aspirin seven days or less before of hospital admission or within 24 hours after admission. More than 40% of those patients had improved results in key areas compared to patients who did not take the cheap, widely available drug. "Aspirin may have lung-protective effects and reduce the need for mechanical ventilation, ICU admission, and in-hospital mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients,'' the report concluded. The researchers warned that a randomized controlled trial would be needed to establish a causal relationship, but a study conducted around the same time last year in Israel also found a link between taking so-called baby aspirin and better COVID-19 outcomes. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210315/low-dose-aspirin-may-help-shield-you-from-covid-19#1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube fanatic Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Rutgers is requiring all students to take vaccine for on campus study in September. Staff and all employees are exempt! That is because the latter are protected by a union and have rights. This is a dangerous precedent for an experimental medical treatment. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/25/us/rutgers-covid-vaccine-students/index.html Maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in turn if one doesn’t belong to a union they have no rights? This topic alone, if taken too far, could close down several threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that is the aspirin that people take under the advice of a doctor daily for heart health. In any case, it is observations and talking about a trial for it versus Covid. In any case, had my second Moderna shot 6 weeks ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Syringe size and supply issues continue to waste COVID-19 vaccine doses in United States It became clear in December 2020 that Pfizer's and Moderna's vaccine vials included more than the number of doses displayed on their labels. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) soon authorized shot-givers to pull out at least one extra dose if they could. But vaccination sites say they are still receiving equipment kits from the federal government's vaccine program, Operation Warp Speed, that don’t consistently contain the right syringes for that task. Some have bought better syringes themselves; those who can't afford to upgrade say they see doses go to waste every day. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/03/syringe-size-and-supply-issues-continue-waste-covid-19-vaccine-doses-united-states 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if Covid hospitalizations increase because of lax mask restrictions along with Spring Break but at some point those that don't want the vaccine will get Covid-19...they'll spread it amongst each other getting the less healthy and unlucky really sick or dying. It will be the same each year and in that way it's like the flu but more transmissible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting this information? The following is directly from the Rutgers message: This health policy update means that, with limited exceptions, all students planning to attend in the Fall 2021 semester must be fully vaccinated. In parallel, we continue to strongly urge all Rutgers faculty and staff to get immunized against COVID-19 at the earliest opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager that there are less people that got the flu shot than do in any given year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
