I posted this in the other thread. His 50 minute interview with Slavitt is a bit doom and gloom. I advise listening to the whole thing. Makes me question decisions to mix households and visit elderly vaxed family, especially with children too young to vax.Quote:

Lambda was present in Chile since December but didn’t take off. As the only South American country with a high vaccination rate, it seems at least Sinovac works, and probably Pfizer/AZ too.Quote:

But most SA countries have falling cases overall, in the middle of winter (mild albeit), so you don”t hear much concern around here.

Dallas County Sheriff's Office
William Jordan Carter, a 38-year-old firefighter from Dallas, was charged with theft after allegedly taking paid leave for nearly a month while lying about testing positive for Covid-19.
Bank records show Carter made several purchases during his time off, including nearly $1,400 at Kalahari Resort, a large indoor water park and resort in Round Rock, Texas.

While shitty of the dude to lie about his Covid results, it's a bit harsh to charge him with theft. Until they criminalize employers stealing wages from employees or underpaying them, this is an unfair result of our current system. Just make the dude pay back any money beyond his banked PTO and fire him. No need to make a criminal case out of this.Quote:

Boy, in a few short seconds, the NYT drops it's pants and shows it's true colors. Reason number 643 why Trump was president.

COVID might turn out like gunpowder for the Chinese. They made fire crackers out of gunpowder.
Europeans made bombs.

4 teachers died of COVID within 24 hours in Broward County, Florida
Rather than issue mask mandates, DeSantis has rolled out a program to provide a monoclonal-antibody treatment from the company Regeneron through clinics — one of the treatments then-President Donald Trump was said to have received when he tested positive for COVID-19.
An ounce of prevention...
As if having shitty air wasn't enough.......
Smoke and soot from wildfires may be causing more Covid-19 cases and deaths, study finds
(CNN)As the coronavirus surges again in the United States, scientists have found another disaster is playing a key role in the number of people who contract severe Covid-19 cases and how many die: wildfires.
A new study published in the journal Science Advances found that increases in fine particulate matter from wildfire smoke in 2020 led to a surge in Covid-19 cases and deaths in California, Oregon and Washington.
"Fine particulate matter air pollution can be an additional vehicle for spreading the virus even faster," Francesca Dominici, co-author of the study and professor of biostatistics, population and data science at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, told CNN. "Considering that we are seeing an increased risk of cases from the Delta [variant] and we already have the wildfires, that's going to be concerning."
Fine particulate matter, or PM 2.5, is among tiniest yet also the most dangerous pollutants. When inhaled, it travels deep into lung tissue where it can enter the bloodstream. PM2.5, which comes from other sources like fossil fuel plants, cars and agriculture, and is linked to a number of health complications: asthma, heart disease, chronic bronchitis, and other respiratory illnesses — all underlying conditions that make people vulnerable to severe outcomes from Covid-19.
DeSantis should be impeached for inept leadership and killing people.Quote:

I got curious after trying to kick a stuffy sinus condition for two weeks (test was negative, but also a week in by that point, so...mild case of delta meets modeRNA seems possible).
Wasn't planning to try J&J, but WTH? Splat?
So people won’t get a vaccine even though several hundred million have been jabbed with minimal side effects,Quote:

Sounds smart :rolleyes:
Why not both? Cheap, somewhat effective prevention, and as needed, followed by expensive, somewhat effective experimental antibodies.Quote:

Yeah, but, the key here is that this treatment supposedly cured their God Hero, Trump.Quote:

Well, he does mention that Dad issue.
Actually casirivimab and imdevimab doesn't really work all that well when the patient gets really sick. The monoclonals do provide some limited benefit in decreasing overall severity if given early on, when symptoms are milder. However, the benefit appears time- and course-dependent. Drumpf appears to have benefited from the monoclonals as they were given very early in his course, caught especially early as he was being tested regularly, being POTUS and all.Quote:

And if you don't believe that SARS CoV2 is a "real" disease, or "no worse than the flu" it is more likely you'll pooh-pooh symptoms in order to show what a tough "own the libs" fella you are, and only get evaluated later in the course of the infection, when you're really sick and more likely to be admitted to an already overburdened hospital with inadequate ICU beds/staffing.
