Covid-19 Study Report
SALT LAKE CITY — Amid Utah's current COVID-19 surge, Intermountain Healthcare professionals are raising awareness about a treatment for the disease that can be very effective in preventing severe symptoms and hospitalization from the virus.
But to be most effective, the monoclonal antibody therapy treatment needs to be administered within seven days after a person begins experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, according to Dr. Brandon Webb, an infectious diseases physician with Intermountain. So doctors are urging people to get tested for COVID-19 as quickly as possible after they start noticing any symptoms.
"We really need to encourage patients to get tested early after their symptoms start," Webb said Monday.
The Utah Department of Health reported 2,018 new COVID-19 cases over the weekend, including 948 on Friday, 662 on Saturday and 403 on Sunday.
Nine more deaths were also reported, and 380 COVID-19 patients are currently hospitalized, according to the health department. A total of 18,877 more vaccine doses were administered over the weekend.
Utah's rolling seven-day average number of positive cases per day is now at 827, according to the health department. The positive test rate per day for that time period calculated with the "people over people" method is now 14.4%. The positive test rate per day for that time period calculated with the "test over test" method is now 10.3%.
The antibody treatment infuses a COVID-19 patient's blood with antibodies that latch onto the virus, as opposed to the vaccines, which prompt a person's immune system to create its own antibodies, Webb said. The monoclonal antibody treatment has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since December, and has been used in Utah since then, he added.
The treatment drug casirivimab with imdevimab is widely available in the U.S. but has to be administered by a health care professional through an IV in a health care facility setting such as an infusion center, urgent care or hospital, Webb said. Though the drug is widely available, there can be difficulties finding health care workers and places to administer the treatment.
The Utah Department of Health created a risk score calculator to determine which patients would be prioritized for the treatment, based on risk factors for COVID-19. More information is available at coronavirus.utah.gov/noveltherapeutics.
Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is still the most important way to prevent severe disease and death, Intermountain said in a statement. But for those people who do get COVID-19, the monoclonal treatments can be an important tool.
"We suspected that these monoclonal antibody treatments would be safe for patients based on results from clinical trials, but we were excited to find that these treatments can be very safely delivered to a variety of patients in a real-world setting," Webb said.
There are early natural treatment that the CDC and our health industry could provide, but the medical profession is not doing the is.. Early treatment is critical to over the illness. That was my frustration I called our family internal doctor and he did refer us to a new treatment that has been showing success yet not making available any other early treatment. I asked him for ivermectin and we also ask the local doctor at the Bear Lake community Health Center and they did not know what ivermectin was. It is a treatment that has done well throughout the world in early treating this illness for recovery. So frustrating so Craig and I had to go to the IFA to get ivermectin. Purchasing in the form of a paste that is used to treat animals. It’s not as easy to consume a pill form would’ve been much better. It was a week of the illness before we were able to get any. It is critical that this illness is treated preventatively in the first seven days. I didn’t want to wait for it to progress to where I ended up going to the hospital. This is what our medical media is not telling us in our local area they are not talking about early preventative choices. They are not making this information readily available like other countries around the world how many doctors are speaking out. This is a recoverable illness if it is treated early It will prevent it from progressing to a more serious level of hospitalization. I was so mad that I ended up in the hospital and mad that medical doctors are not making this available to us. Hydroxychloroquine is another preventative medicine that could be subscribed and it was banned. Doctors could not prescribe anymore and knew that it would be effective. Doctors outside of the United States are having great success with both of these treatments combined with vitamin supplementation. They are simply saying now the best preventative is to get the vaccination. When we still don’t know the long-term effects of this vaccination. There are many red flags popping up that causes alarming affects and this is also being censored and not recognized by the main media it is medical tyranny- they are only projecting one alternative the vaccine and then trying to make it mandatory. We are living in a crazy crazy time. Hearts are failing due by the promotion of fear that is projected in our news media daily. Come to find out this treatment spoken of in the upper article is what was used for president trump to recover so quickly. I was asking myself I want the treatment President Trump received. Dr. Romeny said this is a new treatment you can try it. He gave us a phone number to call. I tried reading more about it online to understand what it is? No insight from our doctor. We called and the man was from St. George scheduling appointments at different location, It was not supported in the local medical facilizes. I was very skeptical about how they were administering it. We choose not to do the treatment. We were a week out and I felt I was getting better. Week two the illness took a turn and grab us fast. So I ended up in the hospital. Just so frustrated that there is so much focus on the vaccination and none on preventive measures that can be administer as early treatment and keep people out of hospital and even death if the illness is treated early. This illness is treatable if doctors would take this course. This is a medical crime to not allow doctors to treat their patients properly. The protocol after testing for covid-19 is sending people home with no preventive treatment, wishing them luck, you have contracted the illness if it progresses go to the hospital, which in this case is not a good recovery by this time and can end in death as the illness takes hold of the body. I'm just so Mad!!!! And now no talking about post recovery in allowing the illness effects to linger for months. There is help out there, I've just had to look at other doctors that are speaking out and trying to help. The government is now and taking doctors license away if they are speaking out. It is the most insane evil thing taking place. They are censoring the information and now trying to discredit the good doctors. Utah is very lacking in preventive care doctors.
