one good thing about most crises is that they kick start research, and you often get a lot of useful results you weren't expecting, about many related subjects...if this screening platform works for covid fighting compounds, there's good possibility they could use it to find compounds that would be beneficial in the fight against cancer, hiv, alzheimers, diabetes.....who knows what?

how is someone stupid enough to to type that out, smart enough to know how to spell? seems like if you're stupid enough to believe shit like that, you ought to be too stupid to turn a computer on...do you go to the public library and get them to help you?
it would just be another nail in the small dirty black coffin trump's soul was buried in, if it turns out a trump supporter on the set loaded that gun in the hopes that something like this would happen...which is a very believable scenario...
Why does the coffin have to be black? You must be racist. That and learn how to capitalize letters at the start of sentences. Your message reads like it was written by someone who fingerprints with glue.

that's my theory; he's on his enemies list soooooooooooo...? this has his handiwork all over it. when was the last time there was an accident like this?

it's too predictable and totally believable knowing who would do this.

the armory had to have had something to do with this- she had the keys..who else had keys that held that gun? no way around it, the armory is in charge of that gun.

luckily there are ways to backtrack ammo.

stupid, stupid Righties.

Amazingly, omicron, which wasn't present in Ontario on November 20, will be the dominant strain by later this week, and will replace delta by Christmas. 33% in the SPARSEQ run today in Toronto. Will be dominant by Wednesday. Omicron cases doubling every 3 days
as Governor Polis from the Great State of Colorado says..'you're safer at home'..the ones dying in my building are the ones that are always on the go visiting with all different people. you can't do that this is still a pandemic regardless of vaxx or not.

not sure what one sentence has to do with the other but using glue is how fingerprinting is done..what a Psycho.

Omicron infects 70 times faster than previous COVID strains: study
Researchers from the University of Hong Kong’s LKS Faculty of Medicine found that after 24 hours of infection, the omicron variant multiplied in the human bronchus 70 times faster than the delta variant and original coronavirus strain.

They also discovered that omicron infection in the lungs was “significantly lower” than the initial COVID-19 strain, “which may be an indicator of lower disease severity,” according to a statement from the university.

The strain replicated in human lung tissue at a rate that was more than 10 times lower than the original COVID-19 strain, which suggests that it may cause less-severe illness.

The research, however, is still under peer review for publication. The researchers examined lung tissue removed for treatment that was infected with the omicron variant.

Michael Chan Chi-wai, the lead researcher on the study, noted that virus replication is not the only factor that determines disease transmissibility.

“It is important to note that the severity of disease in humans is not determined only by virus replication but also by the host immune response to the infection, which may lead to dysregulation of the innate immune system, i.e. ‘cytokine storm,’” Chan said in a statement.

He also said that even if a virus proves to be less pathogenic, its highly infectious nature could cause more severe disease and death, which is why he said the threat from the omicron strain is “likely to be very significant.”

“It is also noted that, by infecting many more people, a very infectious virus may cause more severe disease and death even though the virus itself may be less pathogenic. Therefore, taken together with our recent studies showing that the Omicron variant can partially escape immunity from vaccines and past infection, the overall threat from Omicron variant is likely to be very significant,” Chan said.

First UK omicron death is a antivaxer.
it would tickle me pink if this tore through the antivaxx magats like trump tearing through cheetos...decimate the republicans, decimate their voting base, decimate the antivaxx "community", decimate all the deplorables...while the vaccinated get to stand back and watch them die...omg, if it took greene, boebert, gosar, gaetz, meadows, fuck it, manchin and sinema...i would count it a scourge from God...and i'm not even close to religious

The people that make Moderna are doing a trial with humans now on an HIV vaccine based on the mRNA tech atm. They're hoping it will actually get rid of HIV in already infected people too. You hardly ever hear about HIV these days but it's still going around especially in many African countries where they don't get HIV meds so many still die.

:peace:
