ERODED SHORELINE ICE BUILD-UP
WHEATLEY — While there is still plenty of open water on the east side of Point Pelee, ice is starting to form along the shoreline east of Wheatley Harbour. These photos were taken at Wheatley Provincial Park just before sunset on Saturday, January 15. The photo on the left depicts a tree reaching for sunlight amidst the crashing waves and ice crystals, looking west
toward Point Pelee. The photo on the right shows the degree of erosion of the park beach, looking east toward Port Alma, with the road pavement going right into Lake Erie. Erosion has been an ongoing problem along the park shoreline in recent years, which promoted park officials to close the area to traffic and camping. SUN photos by Deanna Bertrand
Health Canada also approves anti-viral pill
Antibody treatment being used in Windsor-Essex REGIONAL — The use of monoclonal antibody treatment has begun in Windsor-Essex. The drug, called Sotrovimab, was given for the first time in the region on
January 7. Due to limited supply, the drug is reserved for unvaccinated people over 50 and vaccinated over 70 with immune-comprimised status.
It’s designed to be used within the first seven days of infection, and studies so far say it is highly effective against the Omicron variant. It’s a one-time dose and
is not a drug that’s meant to be used in the hospital for critically ill. Patients are advised to reach out to their primary care physician about Sotrovimab if they fit the
criteria. On Monday, January 17, Health Canada also announced the approval of the first at-home antiviral pill to treat mild cases of COVID-19.
The new pill, called Plaxovid, is made by Pfizer and is by prescription only. It is only authorized for adults over 18 and must be prescribed by your doctor.
