Try go outside for exercise like walking, jogging or ride a bike if you have one by yourself. There is not much risk to get infected if you are outside and keeping away from a crowd doing that. Although it isn't a socialising based activity with others, it will help to clear your mind and get some health benefits from doing some cardio.

Also, yeah it can be tough to live inside for ages and not have any contact with your friends or other people. I didn't see my friends until early December for like over 7 months due to the earlier lockdown in 2021 because we all lived in a restricted LGA. However, during that time we still made efforts to keep in contact and try to be as positive during that time. One of the ways we did this was by talking daily on messenger or whatsapp in our group chat and also once or twice a week we would hold a games session on Zoom. We just played any random free games like the drawing and guessing ones, codenames, cards games. That way we still kept in contact and it reduced the feeling of just being alone by yourself.

Try to arrange that kind of stuff with your friends. Even if it's not a games session you can just like hold a video chat for an hour and talk about stuff.

yeah you’re right, i think it’s half because of covid and half because i’ve just been too depressed to go out. i think i’ll also consider arranging some outdoors activities that don’t involve crowded spaces , thank you for the suggestions

sorta confused on what to do because im immunocompromised and my mom is unvaxxed but im really depressed from staying home all day , im not kidding i havent socialised with anyone in 3 weeks. tbh its more of my mom im worried about but at this point all those dumb conspiracy theories made her scared of the vax :/

Can you drive? There's a fair few beaches on the central/south coast that aren't crowded.

According to the SMH, nightclubs are closing, and elective surgeries are being restricted alongside pausing major events.

Nightclubs to close, surgery restricted as ‘safety measures’ return to NSW

The decisions were made following a state government’s economic recovery committee meeting on Thursday morning.

Wonder if/when we will get Church services restricted?

antibiotics for a virus

 

[satvik_1008]

idk if its antis specifically its just a treatment ill try find it.

its called ciprofloxacin. thats what they told me

probably use it either as a placebo or to stop any like bacterial infection that could happen coz someone is sick. pre sure they use remdisivr a lot for covid patients as an antiviral drug if u get hospitalised

I can guarantee you we're going back to the lockdowns, the restrictions are happening.

That's going to destroy businesses, and put many out of work, ruin learning for kids, it's not that justifiable yet.

But if hospitals are overstressed, then yeah could be despite perrotet's anti lockdown demeanour.

 

[totally_screwed]

pls no the recent restrictions do not insinuate a future lockdown

Remdesivir is a RNA polymerase inhibitor, so it is primarily an antiviral agent, however, after many decades of the conventional wisdom being that antibacterials are of no benefit in treating viral infections, due to slow progress of developing effective viricidal agents, many clinical researchers started to investigate bactericides against viruses and found that some act as protease inhibitors and therefore probably do have antiviral effects. Before COVID19, they were already looking at antibacterials actions on HIV, dengue and other flaviviruses and both beta lactams and fluoroquinolones have displayed antiviral activity. In the absence of readily available drug treatments for SARS-COV-2, they also started studying the effect of antibacterials on COVID patients. As Satvik posts, Remdesivir (and dexamethasone) would be amongst the first line of treatment choices, but if a secondary bacterial infections were also suspected, it’s worth using an antibacterial which potentially also has antiviral activity, thus possibly able to help kill two birds with one stone.
