(Originally posted to my GoFundMe earlier today, so I didn't bother to change the timestamp. This is basically copied verbatim (modulo formatting), including the fundraising stuff at the end; I *was* posting to GoFundMe after all. Feel free to ignore those bits if you want. Because of the admin issue noted in the post, the updated link to the fundraiser will be provided in the post itself.)
October is in the rearview mirror, and it's time for another episode of "SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 related PSA / traditional weblogging / usual begging post mashup", once again featuring our friendly pharma-chemist blogger Derek Lowe. Let's see what's been happening from his perspective during the second half of the month now past.
The Scientific Literature’s Own Pandemic
The SOLIDARITY Data
More Antibody Data
Click Chemotherapy
The Latest Antibody Data From Lilly and From Regeneron
The Vaccine Tightrope
Now it's time for the usual begging part of this post. Anyone who's read one of these posts since spring started can predict what comes next: before and in addition to the usual plea for help for ourselves, I'm going to ask those of you who are able to SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES. Some businesses were essential and never closed during the lockdowns. Others, after having opened back up, are now trying to stay open to what extent they can as we struggle through various phases of "reopening" including going back to more restrictions as needed. So please do what you can to help keep your local economy a little bit more afloat. Locally owned businesses are, and will continue to be, struggling to survive and get back on their feet, so please patronize them as much as you can. BUY LOCAL. Please however, do so in a safe manner. Keep on wearing masks and other protective equipment when going shopping in person, continue social distancing. Act intelligently, because I know you can.
( Rest of the begging stuff is behind the cut. )
