Pandemic 2020

[schuylaar]

Trump did worse than nothing, he impeded the supply of PPE and testing while spreading disinformation and suppressing helpful information from the CDC. His actions and examples on masks and social distancing with his super spreader rallies cost tens of thousands of lives. Trump mass murdered American citizens for political purposes, because he thought he could lie his way out of a pandemic (this demonstrates how profoundly stupid he is, among other things).

precisely.

They haven't vaccinated in Brazil at all and the asshole running the place is another version of Trump, who also has Brazil's version of Joe breathing down his neck after being absolved of trumped up crimes. The new variant is 60 to 70% more lethal, as well as being more contagious, so it's natural that it would afflict younger people more as it became more virulent.

But it is a great place to test new vaccines!

'It's hard to imagine how they could've done it worse'

is it hard to imagine doing nothing? because that's what they did..nothing- literally.

If only they did nothing, things would be better.

BC Canada is having a large surge of the Brazilian variant. This is a bad looking variant from what I see coming out of Brazil, huge wave that is also killing the recovered survivors of the previous waves.

I heard about this one from the BBC a couple of months ago. It was running wild in the Amazon at the time. They said then it was killing people who had had the wild (original) virus.

Sad but true. You really need someplace where it's raging to get a good test.

No nuns were involved in my education. In fact I was raised in an Assembly of God church (I left at 13) and didn't meet my first Catholic or Jew until I was in college. I guess because they had been so vilified by the evangelicals, I had a soft spot for them. My biggest gardening buddy is an 85 year old Filipino lady I met at the Catholic Church thrift store.

oh i know they did things to hold supplies etc up which is why this would fall under Crimes Against Humanity.

Trump should be drawn, quartered and made in wagon wheel grease except his head which will sit on WH pike to rot while maggots eat away at the flesh for all to see. The lips cut off and made into a key ring.

Schuylaar just went somewhere and had to stop there.

Brazil researchers find people infected with two different coronavirus strains
Researchers in southern Brazil said they have discovered patients infected with two different strains of the new coronavirus simultaneously, reflecting concerns about the growing number of variants in the country.

The patients, both in their 30s, were infected in late November with the P.2 variant of coronavirus identified in Rio, also known as the B.1.1.28 lineage, and simultaneously tested positive for a second variant of the virus.

“These co-infections can generate combinations and generate new variants even more quickly than has been happening,” said the study’s lead researcher Fernando Spilki, a virologist at Feevale University in Rio Grande do Sul state.

“It would be another evolutionary pathway for the virus,” Spilki added.

Aww... ...just let it run through the population until we have herd immunity. Maybe not.

As daily deaths near 4,000, worst may lie ahead for Brazil

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil currently accounts for one-quarter of the entire world’s daily COVID-19 deaths, far more than any other single nation, and health experts are warning that the nation is on the verge of even greater calamity.

Vaccine roll out is unacceptably slow in Canada, we need our own production facilities and should ally with other countries like ours to create cheap mRNA facilities that can create mRNA vaccines and a host of future applications like cancer treatments. The strand data for pandemics can be sent by email, or the GMO's that produce the mRNA strands can be sent from whoever does the research and produces the prototype vaccine. If there is a market some company will specialize in producing the equipment and facilities as the technology matures in the coming years. In a pandemic it's every man for himself when it comes to vaccines and treatments, international agreements can breakdown under the stress of events.

Any news on when you'll get the jab in Ont? Vaccine supplies in NS have been abysmal and I'm hoping for some improvement soon, Joe is rolling out 3 million plus shots in arms a day and we are barely protecting the vulnerable.

Nothing concrete yet. They’ve allowed people with certain underlying conditions to pre-book an appointment, whatever that means. Probably nothing. I’m ok though. I don’t have to go anywhere and we are all able to stay in our bubble, fortunately.

N.S.’s case counts are still pretty low though, right?

My parents in N.B. got their first jab. I’m was happy about that.

N.S.’s case counts are still pretty low though, right?

NS has 5 new cases and around 25 total, New Brunswick about a dozen with 110 active cases. We have about 25 cases in total so I guess that's why we're sucking the hind tit, but we do have a lot of elderly in the Atlantic provinces. The surge in cases must be the new more contagious variants I guess. I see things have improved over the past week as far as vaccine roll out goes, but it's not near fast enough IMHO, but we are in the same boat as the EU and other similar countries, even though we ordered early and lots of contenders.

Study: Trump Likely Cost The U.S. 400k Excess Covid Deaths

“A new study by an UCLA economist estimates that 400,000 people in this country died of Covid who could have been saved if Donald Trump and the Republican Party had implemented a more effective health strategy,” says Chris Hayes. “400,000 people who are dead who did not have to be.”

 

[DIY-HP-LED]

The vaccine effect, deaths and hospitalizations drop dramatically if the elderly and vulnerable are protected. Wisconsin has 16% vaccinated, here's how it breaks down:

Here’s a look at who’s received at least one dose, by age group - approximations and percentages:

• 16-17: 4 out of 100 (3.8%)
• 18-24: 1 out of 7 (14.4%)
• 25-34: 1 out of 5 (21.5%)
• 35-44: 1 out of 4 (27.0%)
• 45-54: 1 out of 4 (27.7%)
• 55-64: 1 out of 3 (34.3%)
• 65+: 3 out of 4 (74.5%)

1 in 6 Wisconsin residents fully vaccinated against COVID-19; deaths fall to average 3 a day
Wisconsin could reach a milestone 1 million residents fully vaccinated early next week

MADISON, Wis. (WBAY) – Wisconsin continues on pace to reach 1 million residents fully vaccinated against COVID-19 early next week.

The Department of Health Services reported Saturday that 978,416 people have completed their vaccinations -- whether that’s one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine or two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.

That’s 29,651 more people completing their vaccinations since to Friday’s report. The state is averaging 20,433 residents getting fully vaccinated every day over the past 7 days.

Currently, 16.8% of Wisconsin’s population is fully vaccinated. That’s more than 1 in 6 people.

Data show the state usually sees a drop in vaccinations over the weekend, so that 1 million milestone will most likely be reached Monday or Tuesday.

So far, 1,674,882 Wisconsin residents had at least one shot of a COVID-19 vaccine. That’s almost 40,000 more (39,905) than vaccinators reported Friday and represents 28.8% of the population.

The 7-day average was close to a record for all COVID-19 vaccinations, including residents and non-residents. Vaccinators reported an additional 68,558 doses administered since Friday. That’s 10,000 fewer doses than Friday, but the 7-day average of 55,566 shots a day is just a couple hundred shy of Friday’s record.

Vaccination numbers for Northeast Wisconsin counties appear later in this article.

1 in 3 Wisconsin women received at least one dose of a vaccine compared to just under 1 in 4 men.

Basically Brix says that Trump owns most of the dead over 100,000 and that number is inline with Canada's per capita mortality rate. Canada had 961,000 total cases (we tested) and America has had 30 million cases, in Canadian terms that would be less than 9 million total covid cases in America, Trump owns the difference. So far Canada lost 22,852 people to covid, X 9 for American numbers = 205,668 dead, instead of 545,000.

Birx shares her chilling conclusion as America arrives at a moment of introspection on the coronavirus

(CNN)The US may finally be getting a handle on the coronavirus pandemic, but for so many Americans, it's too late, and that disconnect is raising fresh questions about why the US couldn't have done more earlier.

 

[injinji]

Birx did very little pushing back against the crappola sandwich Mr Trumpf was serving us. While Faici did try to be diplomatic at it, he always told the truth no matter what Trumpf had said.
