Also the research refers to alpha and beta variants, the method of cell entry for omicron is different in that it encapsulates the plasma membrane and enters the cell within that “bubble”., here’s the research re weed:

Abstract.
As a complement to vaccines, small-molecule therapeutic agents are needed to treat or prevent infections by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants, which cause COVID-19. Affinity selection-mass spectrometry was used for the discovery of botanical ligands to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Cannabinoid acids from hemp (Cannabis sativa) were found to be allosteric as well as orthosteric ligands with micromolar affinity for the spike protein. In follow-up virus neutralization assays, cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic acid prevented infection of human epithelial cells by a pseudovirus expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and prevented entry of live SARS-CoV-2 into cells. Importantly, cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic acid were equally effective against the SARS-CoV-2 alpha variant B.1.1.7 and the beta variant B.1.351. Orally bioavailable and with a long history of safe human use, these cannabinoids, isolated or in hemp extracts, have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2.

That's what I do.

Bad day? smoke some weed
Good day? smoke some weed
GF dumped you? smoke some weed
Happy about humping new GF? smoke some weed

I've solved the question posed in the Hitchhikers guide to the universe.

What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything? smoke some weed.

or, 42, whichever makes you happier.

I think Rand Paul is a douche. I do believe him when he caught Fauci laying about gain of function funded by NHIS and tax payer dollars and called him out. I like that he fights for those that dont follow blindly.

My opinion is Fauci is a liar and a snake. This is his second time getting caught lying about the virus.

Maybe not directly related to pandemic but definitely got my attention ….

New tactic to do break in robberies …. Fake Amazon guys with packages hoping for a one on one to gain entry.
Guess got be strapped at door from now on.…… and I will be.

A while ago one of the countless sock puppets asked me if I “abused cannabis”.

Damn right I do! I rip it’s little bud right off the branch, put it in a grinder and fuck that shit up good before burning it.

Hmmmm. I think it’s time to abuse some more cannabis.

We rent out space for events. Most weddings and birthday parties. And yes, I only worked one day a week while we were shut down. I'm lucky in that my wife makes damn good money in retirement, so I can walk away if I choose.

It’s horrible what the entertainment industry has had to endure over the last two years :(. I’m sure I would just toss in the towel if I had to deal with it.

ICUs nearing capacity in at least 18 states
At least 18 states have less than 15 percent capacity remaining in their ICU facilities as the United States grapples with surging COVID-19 cases, according to Department of Health and Human Services data.

The states include Delaware, Georgia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Kentucky, Alabama, Indiana and New Hampshire.

Hospitalizations for COVID-19 in the U.S. reached a record high of 155,935 on Thursday, per HHS data, as medical facilities are already overwhelmed with staff shortages due to the rising risk of COVID-19 exposure and infection.

In New Hampshire, National Guard personnel and federal emergency teams have been deployed to hospitals and long term care facilities in need of assistance. Other federal medical teams are soon expected to go to Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island to help stressed hospital systems, according to the White House.

Earlier this week, a preprint study showed that patients with omicron had “substantially reduced risk” of severe outcomes compared with delta variant patients.

The recent study is "consistent" with other research surrounding omicron but still presents a problem for hospitals, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Rochelle Walensky.

“While we are seeing early evidence that omicron is less severe than delta and that those infected are less likely to require hospitalization, it's important to note that omicron continues to be much more transmissible than delta,” she said.

“The sudden and steep rise in cases due to omicron is resulting in unprecedented daily case counts, sickness, absenteeism and strains on our health care system,” she added.

It is the unvaccinated who are burden the hospitals the most and who have the worst outcomes and longest duration of illness. Vaccination is important to avoid serious illness and death, most vaccines don't completely prevent illness, but do prevent severe illness, bad outcomes and reduce contagiousness.

The experts say the wave will pass by spring for the most part and the more vaxxed and boosted the easier it will be on the hospitals. The remaining unvaxxed should be infected by spring and be immunized the hard way and many of the vaxxed will be infected too, but hopefully most will just get a boost out of the deal and not serious illness. It's not like we have much choice about omicron, just about vaxxing and boosting, but it should be plenty for most people. We should wear masks and practice common sense and avoid infection too, the hospitals have enough trade for now.

Hospitals Are in Serious Trouble

Omicron is inundating a health-care system that was already buckling under the cumulative toll of every previous surge.
