A new recording from renowned recitalist and winner of the Lieder Prize at the 1997 Cardiff Singer of the World Competition, Christopher Maltman. Graham Johnson is both accompanist and curator of this series that presents the entire piano-accompanied songs and vocal works of Johannes Brahms.
As such it is a companion to the series undertaken by Hyperion for the songs of Schubert, Schumann, Fauré, Strauss and Liszt. This fifth volume presents the songs of Op 33, the only time that Brahms composed a song cycle as such, but even then his observations about how he wished his songs to be heard are worth considering; they are far removed from the contemporary orthodoxy. Brahms sets Tieck's 'novella' Die wundersame Liebesgeschichte der schönen Magelone und des Grafen Peter von Provence ('The wondrous love story of the beautiful Magelone and Count Peter of Provence'). A full account of the text and of the composition of this intriguing cycle is to be found in Graham Johnson's erudite booklet notes.
'A compelling, illuminating partnership' (Gramophone)
This is the fifth volume of a series that presents the entire piano-accompanied songs and vocal works of Johannes Brahms. As such it is a companion to the series undertaken by Hyperion for the songs of Schubert, Schumann, Fauré, Strauss and Liszt. Each recital represents a different journey through the repertoire (and thus through Brahms's life). In a number of these recitals an opus number will be presented in its entirety. In the case of this volume it is the songs of Op 33, the only time that Brahms composed a song cycle as such, but even then his observations about how he wished his songs to be heard are worth considering; they are far removed from the contemporary orthodoxy.
Ludwig Tieck
Johann Ludwig Tieck (1773–1853) was born in Berlin, studying philosophy and theology in Göttingen and Erlangen. In Jena he met Herder, Friedrich Schlegel and Novalis, and he also knew Schiller and Goethe. He quickly became renowned for his skills as a novelist, fabulist and writer of comedies, sometimes using the name 'Peter Leberecht'. This 'Peter Liveright' was the author, in 1797, of the first version of Die wundersame Liebesgeschichte der schönen Magelone und des Grafen Peter von Provence ('The wondrous love story of the beautiful Magelone and Count Peter of Provence'). This was an early example of the Romantic novella, a new art form, and it was among the works that brought Tieck fame and popular recognition. The story reappeared in the collection Phantasus (1812) and again in the poet's collected Schriften of 1828 (which Brahms owned). Although Tieck is not an important figure so far as the lieder world is concerned—there are too few settings of his work—he was second only to Goethe in terms of the esteem in which he was held in the world of German letters. After Goethe's death he was counted the greatest living German poet. There are Tieck settings by Reichardt (father and daughter), Zelter, a fragment by Schubert (Abend, D645), Spohr, Weber, Fanny Hensel, Loewe, Mendelssohn and Robert Franz, but none of these works comes anywhere near to the importance of this Brahms cycle.
Recording Die schöne Magelone
In his remarkable book The Songs of Johannes Brahms (2000) Eric Sams writes movingly about the affinities between the composer and the hero of Brahms's cycle, Peter of Provence: 'Both were romantic heroes, young men of passionate self-awareness in search of a destiny and an identity.' One wonders if Brahms himself ever made these connections; we sometimes fantasize about our heroes' enthusiasms and are way off the mark. Sams also writes of the difficulties that the cycle (five books of songs with three numbers each) had encountered—refused by Breitkopf & Härtel (the first publisher Brahms approached) probably on account of its musical difficulties, and put to one side ever since by countless tenors and baritones for the same reason, not to mention female singers who are excluded, these days, from participation. But the challenges of the cycle, both vocal and pianistic, are not the only reason that this work has never become as well known as the two Schubert cycles, Die schöne Müllerin and Winterreise. Those works, if performed complete (as they almost always are in our own time) have the advantage of a certain, if not complete, narrative clarity: their stories, so far as they go, unfold naturally with the music.
This is not the case with Die schöne Magelone, where even a full translation of the lyrics is insufficient to reveal their significance in the context of the story. In Germany of course Tieck's narrative is sometimes read aloud in the original, although it is almost always somewhat shortened to make the entire evening a tolerable length—the work has to be heard without a break in one sitting. Because the songs, when sung together, take nearly an hour, recordings of the cycle in Germany (where full justice must be done to the work of Tieck, an immensely important literary figure) have often extended to two hours, or more.
Cutting Tieck's story down in terms of its length is a great deal harder in the original German than in English. Once the work is presented in German, justice has to be done to its celebrated prose. Some of Tieck's extended descriptions are remarkably beautiful and atmospheric, though not essential to the story-line. If only the words essential to the plot are to be included, scant justice is done to the descriptions that made Tieck such a revered author, and the problem is exacerbated by the fact that there are two substantial sections of the story where Brahms failed to make musical settings, but which must still be covered from the point of view of the narrative.
A letter written by Brahms on 20 September 1875 to his publisher Rieter-Biedermann makes clear that the composer did not wish to have the complete Tieck text printed with his songs. The English firm of Novello had already asked permission to do so. Brahms wrote:
Meine Magelone Musik hat nun einmal durchaus nichts mit dem Phantasus und der Liebesgeschichte vom Peter zu tun. Ich habe wirklich bloss die Worte in Musik gesetzt und es geht niemand dabei die Landschaft oder das Hospital oder sonst was an … Die Engländer aber mögen doch drucken, was sie wollen—sehr gern—nur um Gotteswillen, Sie nichts in unsere Ausgabe der Lieder.
My Magelone music has categorically nothing at all to do with Phantasus and Peter's love story. I have just simply set the words to music, and the landscape or the hospital are of no concern to anybody. The English can print whatever they like—let them go ahead—but don't you put any such thing in our edition of the songs.
Far from dreaming of complete evenings of his songs in public performance, Brahms preferred to hear no more than three of his own songs in any one concert. This astonishing information comes from an invaluable book of essays—K Hamilton & N Loges, eds.: Brahms in the Home and the Concert Hall: Between Private and Public Performance (Cambridge: CUP, 2014). The present-day hunger for cycles—hidden, implicit, unknown or concealed—seeks to feed the appetite for a recital format favoured, perhaps over-favoured, in the twenty-first century, but almost unknown in the nineteenth.
Brahms's friend, the baritone Julius Stockhausen (1826–1906) was denied the voice that would have enabled him to have an operatic career. Like other intelligent singers who have found themselves in this position, he made a living by exercising considerable ingenuity when it came to his creating opportunities to sing lieder. It was Stockhausen who suggested performing the Magelone-Romanzen as a cycle, later even mooting the participation of an actor—in a letter to the composer on 17 July 1889 he confesses that in a performance by his students in Frankfurt exactly this had happened—'although I sadly doubt you might approve of even a few introductory words to these songs'. Stockhausen believed the public (who had loved the mixture of word and music) needed help to appreciate the music, that the Magelone-Romanzen were not well known, and that few people read Tieck—this is exactly why, of course, the cycle continues to be presented in this way. Nevertheless, Brahms had not intended these songs to be performed as a cycle with spoken text. Far from being offended that his Magelone-Romanzen should be performed singly, this is exactly how he wanted, and expected, them to be presented.
As it turns out, there is no record (beyond a non-verified mention from Friedländer) of a complete professional performance by a single singer of the cycle in Brahms's lifetime. Singers cheerfully browsed through the cycle, selecting their favourites. In the list of the songs' first performances there are many female singers. The vocal challenges of performing the entire cycle have restricted the number of times these songs have been heard, and female singers are unwilling to do them if they have to give a complete performance and play the role of Peter of Provence at the same time.
Perhaps it is not essential to present Die schöne Magelone as an entity, and as a connected story. The Romanzen form a somewhat unequal anthology of love songs, many of them truly wonderful, bold and experimental, all of them crafted by the genius of the young Brahms. According to the composer's own testimony, he was so taken up with his musical response to their individual challenges that he paid far less attention to Tieck's ongoing narrative. By insisting on the cyclic integrity of this work in performance, particularly if it involves an actor, we are perhaps getting in the way of more of these songs becoming everyday items on recital programmes. There is a strong argument for believing that Brahms would have felt exactly that. I am grateful to Dr Natasha Loges for the chance to consult her chapter entitled 'The Limits of the Lied: Brahms's Magelone-Romanzen Op. 33', from the book detailed above, in advance of its publication.
For this recording an interleaving encapsulation of the story is provided, translated from Tieck into English by Judy Hildesley, between each of these songs. (This reading version has been slightly shortened.) The listener can easily move from narration to song translation by simply ignoring the intervening commentaries, the recommended way to first approach this work. Freed from an obligation to honour Tieck in his original language, Judy Hildesley was able to make a paraphrase, conserving many of the details of the original while eliminating anything that threatened to hold up the momentum of the music. I am extremely grateful to her for permission to use this version of the story.

Conrad Bonnevie-Svendsen (11 April 1898 – 12 June 1983) was a Norwegian priest and government minister.

Biography
His father was Conrad Svendsen, Norway's first priest for the deaf. Conrad the son worked at his father's school for deaf at Nordstrand while studying theology at the university, and eventually took over his father's leadership of the school. During the German occupation of Norway in World War II, he helped organise the resistance, and had to flee to Sweden towards the end of the war.

After the war, Einar Gerhardsen formed an interim coalition government lasting from 25 June till 5 November. Bonnevie-Svendsen was appointed consultative Minister of Education and Church Affairs, representing Hjemmefronten (the Norwegian resistance movement). He later helped found the organisation now known as Norwegian Church Aid. He became vice president of Rotary International in 1949, and in 1952 he was made honorary doctor at the University of Kiel.

Herbalife Agrees to $200 Million FTC Settlement, Will Restructure Multilevel-Marketing Business
Jennifer Grebow
The FTC accused Herbalife of misleading consumers by suggesting those consumers could earn significant income by selling Herbalife products when in fact most did not.
The FTC today reached a $200 million settlement with direct-sales firm Herbalife that requires the nutritional supplement, weight-management, and personal care marketer to restructure its multilevel-marketing business model.
The FTC's complaint against Herbalife accused the company of misleading consumers by suggesting those consumers could earn significant income by selling Herbalife products; compensation, however, was based on whether consumers were then able to recruit others into selling Herbalife products and was not based on actual product sales.
"Defendants represent, expressly or by implication, that Herbalife distributors are likely to earn substantial income, including significant full-time or part-time income, from pursuing a retail-based business opportunity. In reality, however, Defendants' program does not offer participants a viable retail-based business opportunity," the FTC complaint stated.
Announcing today's settlement, the FTC did not classify Herbalife's business as a pyramid scheme. But, the agency stated, "Herbalife is going to have to start operating legitimately, making only truthful claims about how much money its members are likely to make…" The $200 million redress will largely compensate those who were selling Herbalife products, the majority of whom the FTC said earned "little or no money."
FTC's press release announcing the settlement today also noted a high turnover of Herbalife's distributor base, with nearly half of distributors quitting yearly after they failed to make a profit. Those who opened Herbalife Nutrition Clubs, for instance, on average spent $8,500 of their own money to do so, with approximately 57% of those club owners either making no profit or losing money in the end.
Under the settlement, Herbalife agreed to change its system to base compensation primarily on retail sales. The FTC stated, "It mandates a new compensation structure in which success depends on whether participants sell Herbalife products, not on whether they buy products."
On Herbalife's website today, Herbalife chairman and CEO Michael O. Johnson issued this statement: "With our recent settlement with the FTC, we and our 4 million preferred members and distributors are focused more than ever on helping people achieve their goals-whether by losing weight, living a healthy lifestyle, or earning some extra money when and how they choose through our direct-sales business model. The terms of the settlement in no way change our business model as a direct-selling company but simply build upon current procedures. Because of this, we are confident and excited about the future of our business."

Pat's Clothing Closet is an example of a ministry that, like all good outreach programs, serves multiple purposes consistent with the heart of Christ: meeting needs, being present, and staying put for the long term. What's illuminating here is how the heart of Christ works too, which is to say inclusively.
The Clothing Closet is a place, located in the basement of Trinity Presbyterian Church, that provides clothes and food to those with modest means. More than that, it provides a retreat for someone to get out of the cold. A place to talk. A place to relax in a peaceful atmosphere. What is experienced reveals itself by means of thankfulness and humility, charity and welcome… and it's really good.
I came to Pat's Closet thinking I was going to 'do a good thing.' Fortunately, it has turned into 'having a good thing done to me.' And that, in the best sense of the word, is humbling.

Those who frequent Pat's Closet are gracious people. They don't have a lot, but they still somehow find it in themselves to be thankful for everything they get. The heart of Christ is a funny thing. Right when you think you've figured out the dimensions of it, it seems to expand and include much more than you ever thought possible.

Why then when we find it so easy to reward young ones, do some find it difficult to do the same with work colleagues and people who report to them? People leaders have a dual responsibility, dealing with the business as usual (BAU) stuff as well as motivating and engaging their people to do their best and deliver superior results. Often the 'busyness' of the BAU gets in the way. Sometimes it's about difficulty with giving others recognition, insecurity as a leader (don't want them to outshine me) or a belief in 'tough management'. Whatever the reason, get over it.

Antenatal exposure to testosterone affects neurological development in the fetus and may play a role in behavior throughout life. Researchers from the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research recently published a study in PLoS One on the potential role of testosterone levels of umbilical cord blood and behavior in boys and girls.
Girls (430) and boys (429) were followed for 10 years. Cord blood was retrieved and stored at birth for all participants. Researchers measured testosterone concentrations in cord blood and noted behavioral patterns in children. When cord blood results were compared with behavioral test results, researchers were unable to find a connection between the two. Higher levels of testosterone were measured in male children than female children in all cases. Boys suffered fewer attention problems with higher testosterone levels and girls suffered worse withdrawal symptoms at age five with elevated testosterone, but these results were not consistent across all participants.

Vietnam to receive two more Gepard-class warships soon: gov't site
Monday, May 25, 2015, 11:16 GMT+7
The Vietnam People's Navy will soon get their hands on two new Gepard-class 3.9 frigates, the third and fourth of their kind which Russia has built for the Southeast Asian country, as the shipbuilder has just completed them, government website chinhphu.vn reported, quoting Russian media.
>> An audio version of the story is available here
Russia has finished the construction of the two frigates for the Vietnamese navy, Russian news website Sputnik quoted Rafi Fatychow, spokesman for the Zelenodolsk shipyard, as saying last week.
Weapons will be installed on the two warships soon, Fatychow said at a forum on the maritime industry held in Moscow from May 19 to 21.
Gepard-class 3.9 frigates are an export version of the guard vessels under project 11661 of Russia, which are built in the Zelenodolsk shipyard in the Russian republic of Tatarstan.
The two warships will be delivered to Vietnam as soon as the weapons are installed, Sputnik quoted Fatykhow as saying.
In terms of features, the two new ships are similar to the first two Gepard-class 3.9 vessels under the Vietnam People's Navy.
The difference is that the second pair will be equipped with anti-submarine weapons, torpedo tubes, and other modern devices used for detecting enemy submarines. The ships also use modern generators with improved features.
Thus, the two new warships can effectively fight targets in the air, sea, and underwater, chinhphu.vn said.
Vietnam's first two Gepard-class 3.9 frigates, the missile escort vessels Dinh Tien Hoang (HQ-011) and Ly Thai To (HQ-012), built by the Rosoboronexport Company at the Zelenodolsk shipyard, were dispatched to Brigade No.162 under Naval Region 4 under the Vietnam People's Navy four years ago.
Naval Region 4 is an independent naval command managing and protecting Vietnam's Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago, Phu Quy Island, the East Vietnam Sea and the south-central coast, from Phu Yen to the north of Binh Thuan, including the coastal provinces of Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, and Ninh Thuan.
The multipurpose frigates, designed to track and destroy floating targets and to perform other specialized tasks including air defense, anti-submarine, escort and patrol, can enter combat independently or in squadrons.
The two warships, worth US$350 million each, were built following a contract signed by Vietnam and Russia on May 12, 2006, and are also equipped with stealth technology to minimize their presence on enemy radar screens.
Following the request of the Vietnam People's Navy, the two vessels under Project 11661 were completely redesigned to include stealth technology and the most advanced weapons available from Russia.
The new technologies and weapons include two 30mm AO-18KD / 6K30GSh cannons, Kh-35 UranE anti-ship missiles with a range of 130 kilometers, and eight Sosna-R. Palma laser-guided surface-to-air missile launchers with the ability to disable air targets at a distance of up to 8,000 meters and height of up to 3,500 meters.
The ships can also accommodate the multi-role Ka-27 Helix naval helicopter, which can perform anti-ship and submarine hunting tasks.
French shipyard Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie (CMN) last week introduced a model of a corvette known as the C Sword 90 at the IMDEX 2015 exhibition in Singapore in an effort to market it to navies that operate in littoral waters, especially in the Southeast Asian region, defense news website IHS Jane's reported.
The corvette, powered by two propulsion diesel engines and two controlled pitch propellers, has a maximum speed of 28 knots (52 km/h) and can attain a standard range of 7,000 nautical miles at 12 knots.
It can carry a crew of 65 with additional berths for 20. The C Sword 90 can be equipped with either a 57 mm or a 76 mm gun as a primary weapon and up to two 20 mm or 30 mm cannons as secondary armaments.
The vessel has space for a 16-cell vertical launch system for surface-to-air missiles and can accommodate up to eight surface-to-surface missiles, according to CMN.
The corvette can also be armed with one hull-mounted sonar system, a towed array module and up to two triple-tube torpedo launchers for submarine hunting, CMN said.
CMN is targeting countries including Malaysia and Vietnam, both of which have articulated a requirement for corvettes in the near- to medium-term, IHS Jane's reported.

Before Jennifer Lopez married Marc Anthony she was in the white hot spotlight of television, music and movies. She was a huge star and, as often happens, she attracted the boys – especially the bad ones who had a reputation with the ladies. After two divorces and one near-miss, Lopez wanted to be grounded, and was willing to give up her professional high life because her personal love life had hit a low. Anthony, who was her friend even before he was her lover, offered her the stability and support that had been missing from her life. With that, she was finally able to make the shift from a "me" out there on her own to a "we" as a couple. All of that makes it even more surprising that the pair announced last week that they were ending their seven-year union.
What a "we" they became. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony appeared to embody what marriage is all about. They recorded music together, performed together, started a family together – they have three-year-old twins. Even as recently as this spring, she brought Anthony on to American Idol, having him share his expertise with the contestants and performing a sultry number together on stage during the show's finale. It seems that Lopez accepted Anthony's pull toward their Latin heritage and embraced it with him. As she settled into family life, she shifted her priorities, stepping away from her solo career and being content enough for a period of time to instead focus on her family.
This year that changed. Suddenly, once again, her professional fire ignited and she was everywhere. She was a judge on American Idol, recorded a solo album, was dubbed by People magazine as the world's most beautiful woman, was a L'Oreal cosmetic model and appeared in television commercials. It seems that she and Anthony found themselves in that ongoing struggle so many couples face: whose career is more important? Who gets to be out in the world more, while the other partner holds down the fort at home or, if not that, who stands in the shadow of the more successful spouse? This pull between the "me" and the "we" is something I talk extensively about in my book What About Me? Stop Selfishness From Ruining Your Relationship. There is no easy answer, but success requires a delicate and crucial balance between not losing yourself and not turning your back on your partner to achieve your own needs. The key words are compromise and teamwork. Did Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony lose their footing in this intricate dance? Maybe Lopez wanted more, if the work she had been doing until recently just wasn't satisfying enough. Or maybe Anthony felt threatened by her renewed mega-star success and tried to control her in some way, perhaps by asking her to give up what was important to her. Did staying married at the expense of her solo career start to feel more like a sacrifice and loss rather than a choice to continue to share her career with her husband? What I do know is that to the public eye this balance, or lack of it, is the only thing that changed between the couple who as recently as last year renewed their vows.
So, to borrow the words from one of Lopez's songs, is it true that love don't cost a thing? Depending on how you look at it, either there is a price for Anthony's love, and that might be giving up some of her own limelight, or, maybe the love is free but the career demands a huge price – the loss of their marriage.


People are born to die, and it can't be otherwise, because extinction is the price of mass-immortality. But what can be otherwise is that people might die healthy, solely as a result of their chromosomes eroding over ten decades more or less.
We become fated at conception for some things, and acquire risks over a lifetime. A CDC scientists estimated that genetics contributed 30% to our premature death; social factors, 15%; environment, 5%, health care, 10%; and behavior, 40%. That last figure suggests we make our own fate; the first doesn't involve choice.
She was constantly sick and repeatedly misdiagnosed until a sample of her blood arrived at the NIH laboratory of Dr. Michael Blaese. The protocol for her treatment called for a recombinant virus, containing the adenosine deaminase gene and two others, to "infect" her white blood cells that had been removed from the body. After those cells multiplied, they were infused into her blood stream on September 14, 1990.
This child, who could have died almost any time before then, has enjoyed normal health since, graduated from college, and is married. Three years after this beginning, an adult man with a massive brain tumor underwent the first gene therapy trial for cancer. In his case, a recombinant virus, with the thymidine kinase gene from Herpes simplex was introduced into the vascular bed where his tumor had been before surgery. Any remaining malignant cells that took up the virus, in effect, developed cold sores, which then allowed the anti-herpes drug ganciclovir to knock out any remaining cancer.
Actually, this refers to a phenomenon of bacterial immunity, where a natural process "edits" genes of invading pathogens. In 2012, researchers began to foresee how this might be applied to editing human genetic defects by either deleting mutations or inserting restorative sequences. A conceivable first attempt might rely on direct injection of the CRISPR molecules and an associated RNA enzyme into the natural stem cells of blood formation in bone marrow, or in the so-called "induced pluripotent stem cells" from skin or other tissue. Small molecule drugs or nanoparticles also could be delivery vehicles.
CRISPR technology is still evolving—a dramatic example of medical innovation accelerating at an accelerating rate—as is human gene therapy. Conceivably, fate itself may be edited.


Staples Inc said computer criminals stole the personal information from 1.16 million debit and credit cards back during back to school shopping season. Stores affected were from Massachusetts to California.
The company, based in Framingham, Massachusetts said its payment machines had been infected by malicious software at more than 113 stores that had compromised the data from customers between August 10 and September 16.
At two of the Staples stores, the hack began during July.
Staples did not identify who the attackers were, but did say the malware was in its system of point-of-sale, which included their cash registers and some terminals that handle debt and credit card transactions.
Staples said it believed that the criminals might have gained access to the names of customers, their card numbers, dates of expiration and the verification code on the card.
The theft of information at Staples is the most recent in a number of high-profile hacks on big retail chains in the U.S. during the past year.
The largest was Home Depot, which this past spring affected over 56 million credit or debit card accounts. Last year, during the holiday shopping season, Target was hit with an attack, in which hackers took information from more than 40 million payments cards.
The hit list includes Neiman Marcus the luxury retailer, P.F. Chang's the restaurant chain and the thrift stores Goodwill.
Staples acknowledged the possible breach back in October, but said that it was first detected during September. At the time, the retailer eradicated the malicious malware.
A spokesperson would not say the payment systems had been infected or which external data security firm was used to carry out the investigation.
Investigators found that there was not malicious software in four Manhattan stores that had reported fraudulent charges on cards.
Staples offered its customers free credit reporting as well as identity theft protection.
Staples said additional information regarding the theft, including dates regarding access and how to receive free credit monitoring were available through its official website.

'Game changer' COVID-19 drugs trickle out to patients amid challenges
By Felice J. Freyer Globe Staff,Updated January 30, 2022, 6:21 p.m.

When the FDA in late December authorized two oral medications to treat early-stage COVID-19, the decision seemed like a Christmas gift for anyone living in fear of the virus.
The drugs have tremendous promise. A five-day course of the pills can prevent severe illness, potentially easing the burden on hospitals.
But, while manufacturing ramps up, the big worry was that providers would run out of the medications in the face of patient demand.
So far, that hasn't happened. Instead, only 429 patients have received the drug in Massachusetts — using up just one-sixth of the available supply — as providers scramble to set up systems to manage distribution. Dispensing a sorely needed "game changer" drug, it turns out, can be quite complicated.
Related: COVID-19 pills for at-home use are likely to arrive soon, but they come with drawbacks
"I would have expected to run out quickly," said Dr. Zandra Kelley, chief medical officer of the Greater Lawrence Family Health Center. By Friday afternoon, the clinic had dispensed just 15 courses of treatment, despite a concerted effort to connect with patients who have tested positive at the clinic and elsewhere.
Several obstacles stand between patients and the antivirals. In order for the pills to work, patients have to take them within five days of symptom onset, requiring fast action to identify those who could benefit and get the pills into their hands.
In addition, the patients must have symptoms — many of those who test positive do not — and they also must be at high risk of progressing to severe illness, which often means that they're unvaccinated.
Adding to complications, these medications are not safe for everyone, so doctors need to take time checking patients' medical histories.
"This is a medication that absolutely requires some clinical decision-making. It's not something I would just hand out to people," said Dr. Inga Lennes, senior vice president of ambulatory care and patient experience at Massachusetts General Hospital. "It requires clinicians to talk to the patient. … This is a 10- to 20-minute phone call."
Dr. Kiame Mahaniah, chief executive of the Lynn Community Health Center, likened the logistics of antiviral distribution to "building a mini-public health system."
Mahaniah said that in the Congo, where he grew up, the problem was a lack of resources. In Massachusetts, he said, "it's really about coordination of access to resources."
So far the Lynn clinic has dispensed antivirals to two patients. Others have called but many have been too far along in their illness. On a recent Saturday, a nurse practitioner held about 20 telehealth visits with COVID-19 patients, and none qualified for the medication.
The sprawling Beth Israel Lahey Health system had administered 16 doses of one antiviral as of Thursday morning, even though Dr. Richard Nesto, chief medical officer, said Beth Israel Lahey is "hellbent on making [the medications] as available as possible based on the supply."
"This becomes a system challenge," Nesto said. "It's like a new program that's being developed in real time in the middle of a pandemic."
Health officials are also concerned about social and racial inequities. Many are striving to make sure that the minority groups hardest hit by the pandemic also have access to the treatments.
They have good reason to worry: A recent study showed that white people were more than twice as likely as Blacks to obtain an earlier COVID-19 treatment — monoclonal antibodies.
The federal government is buying the oral antiviral drugs and distributing them to the states. Each state then decides where the pills will go.
Massachusetts has been allocated 4,600 courses of oral antiviral treatment, each involving several pills taken twice a day for five days. Of these, the state has ordered and distributed 2,500. The pills have gone to 17 community health centers, several hospital systems, and a private company, Gothams, that has been running monoclonal antibody infusion sites for the state.
Those facilities have reported treating 429 patients as of Friday afternoon.
In Massachusetts, until supplies increase, a doctor can't merely call the prescription into a pharmacy in the state for the patient to pick up, but must refer patients to a site that offers the medications.
Rhode Island, in contrast, reported 1,236 courses of treatment dispensed to patients as of Thursday. The state distributed the medications to nine pharmacies, as well as two health centers, the prison, and long-term care facilities. Mostly, individual physicians have been prescribing the drug and sending patients to one of the nine pharmacies.
Federal and state guidelines prioritize which patients should get the medications. At the top of the list are severely immunocompromised people, followed by people age 75 and older who are not fully vaccinated, and people 65 and older who are not fully vaccinated and also have a condition that puts them at risk.
Providers have to balance the individual's circumstances with the options that are available. Two types of oral antivirals were approved in December.
Paxlovid, made by Pfizer, is considered the most effective, but is least available. It can be unsafe for patients with kidney or liver disease. And it interacts with a number of medications, including those commonly taken by the very people most at risk of severe COVID-19, such as anticoagulants, immunosuppressants, and anticonvulsants.
Related: Pfizer's new COVID-19 pill is highly effective at reducing the risk of hospitalization and death
In some cases, patients can suspend their other medications during the five days that they're taking Paxlovid, but many others are disqualified.
Instead, doctors may offer them molnupiravir, made by Merck. Molnupiravir is less effective at preventing hospitalization than Paxlovid. But it doesn't interact with other drugs and doesn't threaten the kidney or liver. There is, however, a risk of birth defects if taken by a woman in childbearing years or by a man who's having relations with a woman who can become pregnant.
The Greater Lawrence Family Health Center has given out seven courses of Paxlovid and eight of molnupiravir. But several patients have turned down the medication, after learning that the FDA gave it an emergency use authorization rather than full approval. Because many eligible people are unvaccinated, those who rejected the vaccine are often equally wary of the medications, Kelley said. And since the medication is intended to treat early, mild COVID-19, by definition eligible patients don't yet feel very ill, so they don't always see the need.
In other cases, the health center has identified patients who tested positive but hasn't been able to reach them within the five-day window, even though the clinic can deliver the medication.
In contrast, Mass General Brigham is finding widespread acceptance but struggles with supply. "Over 85 percent of patients we've offered molnupiravir have taken us up on it," Lennes said. "The rate of accepting has been higher than we thought it would be."
As for Paxlovid, the preferred drug, "With so few doses, it's almost like we don't have it," she said.
Mass General Brigham, which has been allocated more than 3,000 doses, mostly of molnupiravir, has been sending the medications to its health centers in Charlestown, Chelsea, and Revere, communities hard hit by COVID-19. The health system is also treating patients through a central referral system, through which doctors can put patients in line for the medications.
About 30 to 40 percent of patients receiving the treatments at Mass General Brigham have not been vaccinated, and Lennes acknowledged that many clinicians are troubled to see a scarce resource allocated to people who declined to protect themselves with a vaccine. But they also believe it's their job to take care of all patients. "I don't see anger, I see more sadness. … that misinformation has really tangibly hurt patients," she said.
Kelley, of the Lawrence clinic, pointed out that it benefits everyone to keep the hospitals from being overwhelmed, and the majority of hospitalized COVID-19 patients are unvaccinated.
Supplies of the antivirals are expected to increase this year, though most likely after the Omicron surge has ended. Merck expects to produce 10 million courses of treatment of molnupiravir this year. Paxlovid involves a more complex manufacturing process, and Pfizer projects making 30 million courses in the first half of the year and an additional 90 million in the final two quarters.
Among the 429 Massachusetts residents who received an oral antiviral treatment was Polonia Mendez Reynoso, an 82-year-old Haverhill woman who came to the Greater Lawrence Community Health Center on Jan. 18 with a sore throat so bad it was hard to swallow. A rapid test showed she had COVID-19. The nurse who delivered the news hugged her, and Reynoso cried, knowing the infection would mean she couldn't see her family for some time.
Reynoso is fully vaccinated, including a booster, but she has high blood pressure and diabetes, which at her age made her eligible for molnupiravir. An immigrant from the Dominican Republic who came to Massachusetts 20 years ago, Reynoso said through a translator that she understood the medication didn't have full FDA approval, but she trusted that her doctors and nurses would never give her anything that would harm her.
The health center had the pills delivered to her home, and her sore throat started improving within hours of taking them, she said. And she's feeling much better now.

Stalin: 'His Name Stands Alongside the Names of Marx, Engels and Lenin'
We need a historical and objective analysis of Stalin from a working-class and Marxist-Leninist position. Proletarians must reject "condemnations" from anti-communist bourgeois propaganda, Trotskyist or revisionist Big Lies and slanders. Yep, Generalissimo Stalin made mistakes later in his life. But, overall, he was a "left" Soviet leader and part of the anti-revisionist tendency. Our era's Communist Party of the Russian Federation (КПРФ) proudly declares: "the memory of Stalin will live forever!"
('Thank you, dear Stalin, for our happy childhood!')
Here's the stellar Marxist-Leninist past head of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), William Z. Foster, assessing Stalin after his tragic passing:
"On March 5, 1953, in his 74th year, Joseph V. Stalin died as the result of a stroke suffered during his sleep a few days before. This ended over half a century of revolutionary struggle on the part of one of the greatest fighters ever produced by the world's working class. His death was a tremendous loss to the Soviet people and to the international movement for peace and freedom.
"Stalin was a major theoretician. Perhaps his greatest theoretical work was on the national question, on which he was the world's leading expert. His epic ideological battle with the Trotsky-Zinoviev-Bukharin wreckers also constitutes a Marxist classic. And just on the eve of his death he gave a last example of his profound capacity as an economist by working out the basic economic laws of capitalism and socialism, in his last work, 'Economic Problems of Socialism in the U.S.S.R.'
"Stalin was a magnificent organizer. His building of the Communist Party, the Soviets, and other immense mass organizations of the Soviet people was a real masterwork. His leadership of the party in the mobilization of the people for the driving through of the successive five-year plans, with their building of industry and collectivization of farming, was organizational work beyond compare.
"Stalin, too, was a militant fighting leader of the masses. His whole life was one relentless battle against the enemies of socialism, both within and outside the party. He was a tower of strength as a military commander in the civil war of 1918-1920, and in leading the Soviet people to victory over the Hitler barbarians in 1941-1945, he displayed a peerless fighting spirit and outstanding military genius. During the Cold War, the arrogant capitalist imperialists also came to dread the indomitable spirit and brilliant diplomacy of Stalin. He was indeed a man of steel, as his name signified.
"At Stalin's funeral, Malenkov said of this brilliant and courageous leader: 'Comrade Stalin, the great thinker of our epoch, creatively developed the teaching of Marxism-Leninism in the new historical conditions. The name of Stalin rightly stands alongside the names of the greatest men in human history--Marx, Engels, Lenin.'" (William Z. Foster, History of the Three Internationals, International Publishers)
This excellent biography by the Marx-Engels-Lenin Institute was once reprinted by International Publishers and distributed by the CPUSA:
Posted by Gus Hall Action Club at 5:19 PM
We are a MN Workers' Club that circulates Marxist classics & CPUSA literature! (Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx & Frederick Engels is below.) The book Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism points out that "thorough mastery of Marxism-Leninism gives one a profound conviction not only of the correctness of the workers' cause, but of the historical inevitability of the coming triumph of socialism throughout the world. Marxism-Leninism is a source of strength, even to the weak; a source of steadfast political principle. It instills the unshakable ideological conviction that enables one to withstand all trials & ordeals!" (Otto Kuusinen, Fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism, Foreign Languages Publishing House, Moscow)
