Pandemic 2020

[topcat]

The draft dodger in-chief is now calling himself a "wartime president" and the citizens of the U.S. "warriors", so we should expect and accept the deaths to come and sacrifice ourselves for his beloved stock market. "Just remember: what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening."

 

[Rob Roy]

Hospitals get paid more if they report deaths as virus related.

I'm sure that perverse incentive to report more deaths as "virus related" has nothing to do with the body count.

Go turn on Alex Jones or something.

Go turn on Alex Jones or something.

I'm not into men and think Alex Jones may be right on some things, but supporting Trump isn't one of them. I don't pay much attention to Alex Jones.

It is sort of "Prison Planet" thing going on now though wouldn't you agree, that a lockdown has aspects of that?

 

[hillbill]

No

 

[Rob Roy]

No

So if people are "locked down" and prevented from going to certain places, doing certain things and gathering they aren't in at least some form of a Prison?

When other people dictate your actions, and your consent or dissent is just an obstacle to be ignored, you're still free ?

Cannabis promising in reducing coronavirus infection: Alberta study

University of Lethbridge researcher Igor Kovalchuk is leading a study on medical cannabis as a potential therapy for COVID-19.Summited photo

The scientist emphasized the findings wouldn't lead to a vaccine — something 'less specific and precise' but nonetheless another possible weapon against COVID-19

Cannabis extracts are showing potential in making people more resistant to the novel coronavirus, says an Alberta researcher leading a study.
After sifting through 400 cannabis strains, researchers at the University of Lethbridge are concentrating on about a dozen that show promising results in ensuring less fertile ground for the potentially lethal virus to take root, said biological scientist Dr. Igor Kovalchuk.
“A number of them have reduced the number of these (virus) receptors by 73 per cent, the chance of it getting in is much lower,” said Kovalchuk.
“If they can reduce the number of receptors, there’s much less chance of getting infected.”
Employing cannabis sativa strains over the past three months, the researcher said the effective balance between cannabis components THC and CBD — the latter more typically associated with medical use — is still unclear in blocking the novel coronavirus.

Some time ago there was a concept of the common good. There was a time when dimn fat assholes with a microphone were ignored, not given formerly sacred awards by the Orange Messiah.

My Dr’s office called me yesterday to let me know they will be getting the antibody immunity test for Covid 19 and I was first on the list so she called and asked if I was still interested . My insurance doesn’t cover it and it will be $55.

Depends on the test, the FDA is doing a show and tell with them now and they've got 10 days to submit data or stop selling, seems they were too loose with the regulations. There is a very good test being introduced soon by pfizer that requires a blood draw and not a finger prick, very accurate though.

They are your employer and this is employment related, health and safety, they should pay and make sure the test they are using is reliable too, many are not.

Vice President Mike Pence staffer tests positive for coronavirus

KEY POINTS

• An aide to Vice President Mike Pence has tested positive for coronavirus.
• The confirmation came one day after news that President Donald Trump’s personal valet had also tested positive.

WASHINGTON — An aide to Vice President Mike Pence has tested positive for coronavirus, a senior administration official confirmed to NBC News on Friday.

The confirmation comes a day after news broke that President Donald Trump’s personal valet had also tested positive.

A spokeswoman for Pence did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.

Pence was scheduled to travel to Des Moines, Iowa, in the morning, but his departure from Andrews Air Force Base was delayed by nearly an hour as staff dealt with news of the diagnosis. Reporters traveling with Pence said several staffers disembarked from Air Force Two just before takeoff.

As of Friday, more than 75,000 Americans have died of Covid-19, and more than 1.2 million have tested positive.

This is fucking scary & amusing at the same time.
But hey, Americans are not noted for being that bright generally speaking, seeing that they elected Trump.
Anyway, a new poll shows that over 45% of the respondents will either not take a vaccine for COVID-19 or have to think about it.

New Yahoo News/YouGov coronavirus poll: Almost 1 in 5 say they won't get vaccinated

Asked whether they plan to get vaccinated against COVID-19 if and when a vaccine arrives, a majority of Americans say yes. But a significant minority say they won’t get vaccinated or they’re not sure. And that, more than anything else, is what the Yahoo News/YouGov poll found — that Americans...

I wonder how many of them are Trumpers? Most of the rest probably don't vote. See what anti vaccer bullshit can do?

Anybody refusing the vaccine should be charged for the treatment if they end up in the hospital.
