Do you like fish sticks?

Depends on how much they made already this year and how close they are to the subsidy cut off. If they are far below the acá subsidy, it’s entirely feasible they could get a plan for a $1 w the aca subsidy. Without the ACA subsidy, $2400 is useless. However, it probably would have been better/easier to just exclude the covid subsidy payment from Medicaid income calculations. Totally foreseeable and should not have been missed.Quote:

That sense of authority is your insecurity.Quote:

"Because shit happens."
But I kinda feel like I've joined the church of mRNA.
The Moderna guys come across as good scientists, but also arrogant VC pitch artists. The Precision Nanosystems guys sound reasonable.
I think that in both the Moderna and Precision NanoSystems videos they mentioned intramuscular injections.
I'm hopeful about your point about how it's critical to identify what the mRNA is supposed to make. I guess that I've been naively convinced that the spike protein, and mRNA, are well enough understood that they'll have a least one reasonably effective vaccine.
The whole months of testing for safety and efficacy, and dealing with live humans thing, is alien to me. Computer nerds get impatient if code takes five minutes to compile or synthesize.
I did have a negative, knee jerk, engineering reaction to Michael Farzan's, maybe you can just make the important part of the spike protein.
I can't tell if mRNA for antibodies has moved out of the lab, or make sense of what the "RNA-based treatments" are trying to do. I was probably getting carried away by the, "An elegant solution to circumvent the problems of complex production and purification processes and aberrant posttranslational modifications of the antibody, is to deliver the genetic information of the antibody itself."
How mRNA therapeutics are entering the monoclonal antibody field
https://translational-medicine.biome...967-019-1804-8
A lot of groups are putting a lot of effort into identifying a good antibody cocktail for SARS-CoV-2. And investment in mRNA from basic research to production is skyrocketing. So if mRNA technology is fundamentally as good as the evangelists say? And from a big pharma standpoint, seems like antibodies are where the R&D would go post pandemic apocalypse.
You're right--it won't help much, but do you have a better idea, besides flipping the Senate with a 60 blue seats and flipping the WH.Quote:

Nothing quite as disgusting as school cafeteria fish. No meat on Fri in my school, which was 90% plus Jewish. Imagine the uproar if Muslim families demanded that public schools served only halal food.Quote:

If he gets it, I'm in for an Ikon, so I can see OG skiing in that loin cloth. From afar. Not sure about sharing a chairlift.
OK serious question. In my line of work it's generally accepted that irrigating a dirty wound or a belly full of pus or shit with salt water in copious amounts is all that is necessary to reduce bacterial counts to safe numbers. "Dilution is the solution to pollution." No antiseptics necessary--)and possibly harmful in the belly because they can be absorbed into the blood stream). Would the same thing be true of washing produce--soap not necessary; you don't have to kill the virus just wash it down the sink?
If you had the choice between Miller and Kushner getting the covids, to which god would you pray?
Another trip to the feed store (yeah... I've been there a lot but on a farm with livestock things happen/break), dozens of people in a very small space and there I was the only person with a mask again. Must be an Oregon thing.
Look at the uproar now over establishments mandating masks be worn when they've mandated shirts and shoes for years. People are beyond stupid and I for one have had enough.Quote:
