<p>Shit - in any case, this reminded me that I may have huge and terrible suffering ahead in my life, in addition to whatever OTHER misery the future might have planned for me. </p>

<p>That claim is mostly wrong. Kidney stones <strong>can</strong> dissolve depending on their type, and they don’t just grow endlessly. Some stones break apart, but not into “sharper pieces” as a rule. The real issue is that when a stone moves through the ureter, even small fragments can cause intense pain.</p>

<p>Well - fkkk. <br /><br />I suppose maybe they never drop before something else less painful ends me - and I get to go out without knowing THAT particular suffering. <br /><br />That is a uniquely Morrisey way to look at the possible upside. </p>

<p>Well I hope you passed the kidney stone quickly and that you are feeling better.</p>
<p>oblig story:</p>
<p>Women like to say that men will never experience anything that hurts as much as childbirth.  My mom had kidney stones once and she said it was FAR worse.  So if you're a dude and you've had kidney stones, there's your point of reference.</p>

<p>i assume that was a movie or something? I dot watch much, so didn't get the reference.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and its healing now. its starting to flake off and new skin underneath.      And yes it was an accident. Working on some bread, putting the boiling water in the oven for the 2nd rise, i bumped the rack and flipped it over, on the hand holding the cup. Was the first time to use the 'real' oven for this, normally i use the microwave, its better sealed.  Next time, it will NOT be a cup. LoL</p>

<p>Is it really a win? 99% of the people i know don't really care.  It wont be a blip on their radar. the other 1%, don't care either, as being illegal isn't relevant to them, they do it anyway. I think i know of one person that it might effect. "ooh its legal now, ill go buy some" But knowing them, they will lose interest soon after.</p>
<p>Might even have the reverse effect "He is opening the drug flood gates everyone is going to OD and die!!" ( not really true, but remember a good 2 generations had it pounded into their heads "its the gateway drug" in primary schools.</p>

<p>keto, i'll splain a few basics.</p>
<p>- your body can metabolize (burn) Glucose and Ketones.</p>
<p>- there is a bias toward burning Glucose. your pancreas creates Insulin to metabolize glucose</p>
<p>- the western diet is PACKED with carbohydrates (carbs).  carbs translate to glucose which stimulates insulin</p>
<p>+ see the cycle?  eat carbs, raise insulin levels, get energy boost and feel good. munchy all day on carbs!</p>
<p>+ problem, insulin derives its name from INSULATION.  while your insulin is elevated it is IMPOSSIBLE to burn fat and loose weight</p>
<p>- work out all you want, if your insulin / glucose spends all day elevated, you will only gain weight and never loose</p>
<p>- you loose weight when your glucose and insulin levels are low for long periods (6 or more hours) and your body is use to burning ketones</p>
<p>- keto is simple.  count carbs.  when you do eat carbs, eat them in a 5 hour window from when you wake up to your mid day meal. try to keep carbs to less than 50 grams </p>
<p>- zero carbs after your mid day meal. and definitely zero carbs after sundown to sunrise. </p>
<p>- hungry during your daily carb fast?  eat- chicken, beef, bacon, fish in any quantity you like, just do zero carbs during your carb fast, do not elevate your glucose in this period. do not eat after sundown</p>
<p>- get your body use to making and burning ketones.  there are 3 phases.</p>
<p>  1- get your body creating and burning ketones. (zero carbs per day, for 3-4 weeks but lots of healthy fats and even mct oils)</p>
<p>  2- change your diet for permanent ketosis, limit carbs to the morning, hold a threshold of 50g carbs per day, learn to pick lots of zero carb foods, change your pantry</p>
<p>  3- add some cardio exercise in the evening to keep your body making and burning ketones during the daily carb fast</p>
<p>people get into ketosis at step 1 but then backslide and wind up putting pounds back on by letting their insulin remain high for too many hours in a day and they fail to change their diets and fail to limit their carbs.  </p>
<p>after man-o-pause, age 43ish.  your metabolism changes.  you must get into keto, otherwise youre gonna wipe out your pancreas and die a horrible fat inflamed clogged arteries death. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>recap.</p>
<p>control daily insulin levels (glucose). count carbs not calories. change foods to low/no carbs (lots of healthy fats and oils), daily evening cardio (10-20 mins)</p>
<p>if you are 100 lbs overweight, this recipe  wlll drop all 100 in 4-6 months.  it isn't hard. controlling  daily insulin levels is key</p>
<p>once you loose the 100 lbs, dont pig out on carbs all day. keep carbs locked into a 5 or 6 hour period each day. 4 hours is best</p>
<p> </p>
<p>been there, done that.</p>
<p> </p>
</body></html>

 The idea is to eat lots of protein but not many fats or carbs. It is known
to be effective, it is also known to destroy kidneys. They never tell you
the last part.   
  
 But yeah in practice you drop processed foods and start eating more fish
instead.

<p>Well, you would want to mix it..  Moonshine is perfect for mixing.</p>
<p>As far as "a shot + hangovers", i used to have ( still do? i donno ) had a high tolerance.  Back in the old days id drink a 1/2 pint of 190, and walk away from the party.  Friend/drinking buddy used to drink 151. Most everyone else either beer or the occasional 80 proof pee-water.  ( i may have told this story, of so, sorry ).  One evening during a weekend party, mid to late 20s, we finished off our bottles, sitting in the kitchen.  Looked around at everyone passed out.    "ok, this is dumb" and we both quit that night and never looked back.               </p>
<p> </p>
<p>( what little bit i drink now does not count. its a flavor thing. tequila + my green fizz, perhaps once a month max and never enough to cause any effects )</p>

 Lol, I know how it goes.   
  
 I was once using a heavy blade to tear up some  vines and slashed my hand.
I made a makeshift bandage and kept working because the slash didn t hurt
so I thought it wasn't so bad. WHen I returned home and removed it I suffered
a preassure downpike and nearly passed out.

<p>Depends on which definition you want to use.</p>
<p>The one that implies being a social outcast, yes, ill fully agree with that one.. :)</p>
<p>The one related to a bacterial infection, no. I simply don't process nerve impulses the same as most humans. I cant smell, don't feel low level pain and high pain is subdued. Low ( or none ) emotions.    Oh, and cant deal with heat :) ( but i can the cold more than anyone i know personally )  But no weakness, skin sores, lung issues, or other symptoms that are typical with bacterial leprosy. </p>

<p>That was fun.  </p>
<p>its 75 degrees +95% humility. And as i have said more than once i do poorly in heat.   So, been walking dogs in stupid early AM ( like 5am ) since its in the 90s in the afternoon. This morning about 45mins in, could feel my heart beat in my face, sort of like when weather changes and a migraine is coming..... then i got really hot.. and light headed.  Had to sit down on the ground for a bit.   Still dont feel "right" even after getting home in the AC and a shower.</p>
<p>I guess i wont die.</p>

<p>"The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is looking to push equity requirements on hospitals providing kidney transplants, according to a recent proposal.</p>
<p>The proposal, announced on May 8, will help President Joe Biden’s administration’s plan to address “racial bias” when it comes to waiting times and “profiteering and inequity” by transplant hospitals, Secretary Xavier Becerra said in the press release. HHS’ proposal would incentivize hospitals to prioritize low-income patients via a point system and create “health equity” plans to address patient gaps."</p>

<p>Went back to the ortho place today, 'followup and schedule for pin implantation' </p>
<p>I didnt notice it last times since i was in/out so fast and was in a surgery room... but i was sitting in the waiting room looking around, "hmm this sort of looks like a theme"  .. went back to an exam room, and past the nurse station..  The owner has decked the place out in a dark Gothic theme. Floors, walls, wall hangings.. even the window frames and counter tops.</p>
<p>Rather cool actually. l like it.</p>
<p>Mentioned it to the doctor, "i missed this last time, but i really like the theme"  He looked up for a second, "oh, ya..." rolled his eyes.  Lol. </p>
<p>And as i walked in from the waiting room i heard " is yours spinning"   Seems just as i walked in the building their network went down. Took out the computers, xray, all of it. I commented " i bet your network went out, i saw your closet door open"   "hey, you a computer guy? Do you want to help"    Ya, no, cant imagine the trouble we would all be in. A state government IT person, messing with private HIPPA related equipment but not cleared for it. </p>

 I know somebody who is  having the opposite problem     
    
 His lungs are damaged to the point he will tear them and bleed to death if
he coughs. He nearly did already. They are giving him industrial quantities
of anti-cough meds.   
  
 I hope you get better.

 If I had a store I would ask for horse pictures anyway, because I love collecting
horse pictures.   
  
 Incidentally, I would also share horse pictures here. The bad news is that
would be very deanoning because so many of my horses are... errr... from breeds
typical from certian geographical regions. Do you know how you can guess somebody
is American if they send you a picture of their horse, and it turns out the
horse is a Quarter horse?

<p>yay</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Chinese scientists experimented with a mutant COVID-19 strain that’s 100 percent deadly to “humanized” mice, according to a new study.</p>
<p>When exposed to mice “engineered to reflect similar genetic makeup to people,” the COVID-19 strain GX_PSV attacked the mice’s lungs, bones, eyes, tracheas and brains, the New York Post reported following the study’s publication last week.</p>
<p>All the mice subsequently died within just eight days.</p>
<p>“In the days before their deaths, the mice had quickly lost weight, exhibited a hunched posture and moved extremely sluggishly. Most eerie of all, their eyes turned completely white the day before they died,” the Post notes.</p>

<p>Get the roots cut out in 2 weeks ( i dont see how they can 'pull' anything... nothing left to grab onto.  At least it does not hurt.  ( tho im sure will be sure after that .. and then in 3 or 4 months when they drill into my jaw to insert the pin... )</p>

<p>Sigh. lost a tooth last night.  Had a filling fall out 2 weeks ago. Had it replaced last week. Minor thing.   last night eating some pie, out the entire thing came. No pain. Nothing. Roots are long dead. Explains why the filling came out.  Outside of tooth is great, inside is gone. </p>
<p>Not pleased. Other than losing a tooth due to a bone in a sandwich ( and when i called to give them a heads up to check their chicken supply, and not asking for anything, i got yelled at and hung up on ), i really dont have any issues out of the ordinary. I did have braces as a kid, which set me up for some cavities, sort of wish i never got them, several years of of pain and suffering just to 'look pretty'.  and i DO have issues with internal mouth sores, so there often days i could barely even drink food. Lots of cup-o-soup back then for diet. ( if my tongue was on fire, no way to avoid the pain and often just skipped eating or drinking )</p>

<p>Odd one, and Google is of zero help.</p>
<ul>
<li>I have a script. At CVS it costs something like 300 a bottle now WITH insurance.   it used to be like 10 or so for years and suddenly went up.</li>
<li>My insurance is ONLY accepted at CVS due to contracts. ( scam, but whatever, it is what it is )</li>
<li>Told doc i cant really afford this..  so he showed me GoodRX..  If i still go to CVS its 150 ( better ). but at Kroger its about 60. Costco is a tad over 50.. but its further away..Kroger is 5 miles away.. so Kroger wins</li>
<li>So for the last couple of years been going to Kroger, pay 60 bucks or so and come back in a month or 2. Rinse/repeat</li>
<li>Last time " its no charge, have a nice day"..   Not wanting to punch a gift horse in the mouth i said thanks and ran off real fast before they change their mind.</li>
<li>This month, i whip out the GoodRX thing on my phone 'Do you need".. "no, there is no charge"   "that is far better than 60, thanks".. zooom.... and you could hear the vacuum form as i left.</li>
</ul>
<p>Pulling out the sheet in the bag back at home, i noticed it said Bill to: "Advance PCS of Texas"  NOT GoodRx ..</p>
<p>Trying to see what was up, google said caremark bought/merged them 20 years ago and they no longer exist. . So i'm confused.  Who are these people, and why are they paying for my drugs??? ( and how can i make sure they keep doing it :) )</p>
<p>And of course caremark is part of CVS, which makes it even more confusing... </p>

 I have heard of it, but they didn't advertise it for regulating blood sugar
levels. I think it was more a digestion co-helper and blood preasure controller.
  
  
 For sugar control I have seen some Doctors recommend Chromium. A month worth
of supply is less than 8 USD. That said, the people I have seen it recommended
too were the sort of people with deep health complications that could not
take strong medication without getting badly screwed.

 Ok, new topic.  Over the weekend, I had a conversation with someone who recommended
berberine to help regulate blood sugar.  He said it worked for him almost
immediately.  So obviously I did some web searching to see who says what about
it. 
  
 Surprisingly, the pro-berberine writeups did not just come from hippy dippy
alt-medicine sites that encourage Steve Jobs to die of pancreatic cancer.
 Healthline, WebMD, Medline, and others of that caliber are saying that it's
a part of traditional eastern medicine and studies have shown there are many
possible health benefits. 
  
 Even more encouraging was the list of sites who are running articles trashing
it:  WaPo, Vogue, Marie Claire, Wired ... in other words, big media funded
by big pharma. 
  
 Anyone with thoughts or experience regarding berberine?

<p>The filament jammed up the hot end and i wasn't even able to burn it back out with a torch.  And i guess really I meant to say fried the printer hot end, not 'just' printer. </p>
<p>Not that its "hard" to replace a hot end on a 'direct drive' head. ( never went bowden when that started becoming a thing. I never saw an advantage other than speed ), but dong that does require total re-calibration, of everything.  which is a royal pain in the neck.  That included the feed tube too. so more effort.  Normally i can get away with just the nozzle when they wear out. But not that time. Was all of it.</p>

<p>Same here. tho the masks i ended up with had dogs on them, and did have a pocket for paper filter.   One for each dog.   Early on i printed one out of flexible filament, put a smiley face sticker on it.  I so wanted to put a bird on it, ( as in middle finger ) and call it 'free speech'. Hosed my printer, had to tear it apart, replace the hot-end and recalibrate everything. Will never use that stuff again.</p>
<p>Had another with the valves so you didnt suffocate, which were banned from use here in several places.  Really? wtf. idiots. Even if you believe in masks, it was an INTAKE valve..</p>

<p>If you can smell the smoke, you should wear a face mask.  You don't want those particulates in your lungs, they can cause all kinds of nasty, the effects of which won't come for several years.  Fire byproducts like ash can contain dioxin, which is a carcinogen.</p>

<p>Dear Mom: Remember 2020? Remember when all these experimental pharmaceutical treatments were being rolled out, and I said I'd read the fine print which outright admitted these treatments did not prevent infection by or transmission of this particular "novel" respiratory virus? Remember how your response was exactly the same as the response from almost everyone I knew in 2016 when I went to Donald Trump's campaign website and read his proposed presidential policies, instead of listening to what the deranged and hysterical shrieking was insisting? Remember how the response was to tell me to shut up and call me a Nazi? Remember when I hesitantly expressed my concern that I might someday be forced to make healthcare decisions for you, and that I didn't want you to feel I would be acting against your best interests, and your response was to blow me off with the words "I have a husband"? Remember how your husband is now dead, God rest his soul?</p>
<p>God help us all. Except the globohomo clown world motherfuckers that permanently drove a wedge between my mother and I. They can all take a big step backward, and literally fuck their own face until they fuck themselves to death.</p>

 It's over everwhere except my doctor's office, apparently.  Still can't go
in there without a mask.  It's still going round - 2 friends caught it in
the last week - but nobody seems to really give a hoot anymore.  Which is
fine with me.  I'm still doing my best to avoid in-person interactions, not
because of the panedemic, but because people are just so damn irritating.

procedure itself is just a nap.  I still find it interesting how fast the
anesthesia goes to work.  I always expect to experience a drifting off to
sleep but it's more or less an immediate thing.  For all of my ankle surgeries
I was on my back, but for the scope I was on my side, face to face with the
anesthesiologist, so after a quick conversation I saw him push the plunger
on the syringe, and after a couple of seconds I said "oooh, I can feel a little
tingle in the back of my neck" and the next thing I remember is waking up
in the recovery room. 
  
 What I *don't* know is how long they sit there waiting for you to wake up.

  
 But I can proudly tell everyone here that I have an absolutely perfect :colon:
.  Not a single polyp to be found anywhere, so I don't have to go back for
another 10 years.

<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Poppins, serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">The petitioner, Dilip Lunawat, is seeking Rs 1,000 crore ($125,451,200) compensation after his daughter, Dr. Snehal Lunawat, died after receiving the Covishield vaccine.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes, it's his fault.  Why?  Among other reasons, according to the article:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Poppins, serif; font-size: 15px;">The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also helped the Indian pharmaceutical company rush the vaccine into production.</span></p>
<p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; color: #333333; font-family: Poppins, serif; font-size: 15px; background-color: #ffffff;">Lunwat says his daughter was compelled to take the anti-Covid vaccine at her college in Nashik on January 28 last year</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I agree, of course.  Bill Gates should be extradited to India, convicted, sentenced, and executed for his many crimes against humanity.</p>

 I find myself doing much more self-production these days. With current inflation
here, it won't be long before certain basics become outright unaffordable.
    
    
 I have nice stashes of the basics because it is not rare for my house to
be cut off from the rest of the world due to the weather. It is good to know
you can make it through, let's say, the winter. However, I have been expanding
my hobby farming gradually into something capable of producing food for the
year.   
  
 The problem is that it is yet another thing that takes a whole lot of time,
which is scarce these days. I am solving a lot of the issues
with the raw power of technology, but sustaining that technology may prove
problematic if things go really down under.

 Yes, but when you have fuel reserves for a whole year, it gets more important
(because fuel eventually goes bad). If you have boxed cereals for the week,
it is less important to have a rotation policy because the expiration date
is so far away in comparison with the time it takes you to eat the cereals
away.

 Workers in this area have used traditional clay containers and skin containers
for centuries already. As long as you don't leave it exposed to sunlight,
it will last.     
    
 The trick with strategic reserves of _whatever_ is to rotate them. FOr example,
I have a room full of bottled water at home just in case I have to bug-in.
  
  
 When you have such reserves, you don't just keep them. You consume the oldest
bottle you have in storage and replace it with a new one every now and then,
in order to ensure you have no old material in the emergency reserve. This
also applies to fuel, foods, medicines...

 Lol when you're listing an expiration date over 6000 years from now, it seems
kind of farcical to include a month. What, is the plastic going to break down
and start leeching into the water in April but not in March? Or does it leech
well before then and their model is precise enough to determine it crosses
an unhealthy threshold in April? 
  
 Anyway, yeah I would keep it out of the UV. Still, I would think the heat
can't be good, either.

I have no idea. Some the rooms here are
labeled such that it's difficult to tell where a topic belongs. 
  
 Over the past couple of years (hmmm I wonder what that correlation could
be?) I've decided to start making a slow but concerted effort to have better
disaster preparedness. I'm not ready to go full blown prepper, but I recognized
that I have lived most of my life woefully unprepared for even smaller scale
disasters. E.g., a spontaneous run on toilet paper could have left me in a
rather uncomfortable place except that I happened to have lucked out and just
recently opened a new large pack. 
  
 Anyway, I thought a good place to start was with my vehicle. If I were stranded
because I broke down, then I'm pretty much resigned to waiting on AAA to come
pick me up. What if AAA isn't available? What if there's an ice storm and
I can't get home? What if
there's a mostly peaceful but fiery protest and I decide the best way home
is stealthily and on foot? Etc., etc., etc. 
  
 I've put together a pretty decent 72-hour get home bag. It's probably not
the best, but it's better than nothing. The part I'm struggling with is water.

  
 Do you guys keep water in your vehicle when you're away from home? How do
you store it? I figure buying bottled water and keeping it in my hot car for
long periods of time is probably not good. I have an empty thermos and a life
straw in my bag, but I think I should have ready-to-drink water, too. I just
don't know how to best handle the logistics of it. 
  
 Suggestions?

<p>Doctor thinks its an "impact triggered osteoporosis joint event".   xray to verify it wasn't out of socket or broke but they never called back with results.  Got home from blood work after the xray, took some steroids he gave me "in case im right, your can start tomorrow".

<p>So .... on Tuesday I was flying down a 2-lane country road in the middle of nowhere at 75mph (speed limit was 70) and then some idiot pulled out in front of me ... at a crazy distance of roughly 200 feets.  I slammed on the brake and punched the horn.  Last night I complained to my mom about the pain and we went to Texas MedClinic in New Braunfels (the one in Selma had a 3 hour wait time, screw that).  Got some high-energy ionizing photons from a roentgenograph and it turns out I broked a bone - distal end of right fifth metatarsal, aka "boxer's fracture" and got a splint.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This mewning we went to Baptist Health System Orthopedic Specialty.  Went from a splint to a brace.  The brace has a serial number.  wtf?  A serial number for a temporary medical device?  Anyway, has another appointment in 3 weeks.  I didn't work today, but I wonder if I can work with this thing.  Ah well, I worked for a couple days with an untreated broken paw, I can do it with the brace, right?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why do I sometimes get ragey when I have to slow down while en route?  Because then I have to accelerate back up to speed, and that costs gas, and in case y'all hadn't noticed already, GAS AIN'T CHEAP.</p>

<p>I think id prefer a broken bone to what i got.  Those can heal.  When there is no bone left, they dont heal well :)   But ya, hearing about others injuries, dont effect me like that either.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And im sure you can imagine the long term arthritis effects of having what is left of your radius shoved into your wrist. ( pretty sure my shoulder is hosed with it too, same reason and all the torn tendons and ligaments, it still hurts abd pops actually ) </p>
<p>When i had my car wreck 3 years or so ago where i broke my neck,  had xrays of my arm done too, just in case. ( i had my hands on the steering wheel, since i was still moving ).  Rather scary looking down in the wrist and its no wonder it hurts ( no good days, just not always bad days.. im sure you understand )   strangely enough my arm IS trying to rebuild itself, you can see new bone slowly forming around the metal implant and working toward the elbow. I learned a new word that day: "osseointegration"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>May have mentioned too and on a more comedic momemt; But when i first went in with my arm in pieces, after he forced the ulna back into place "why are you not crying.." "eh, it hurts, just do it"  was showing me the xray "This is bad, the worst i have ever seen and there is nothing left to heal.  We will have to insert a 7" piece of titanium here, and... bla bla "    "cool, do i get retractable claws too?"    Doc just stared at me. Nurse about fell out of her chair. She understood. It was around the time the first wolverine came out with Jackman.   I tried to explain, he had no clue what the hell i was talking about.. failed. </p>

<p>When I was in the Navy, a bar of zinc was dropped by someone working directly above me.  That 30lbs bar of zinc hit my right arm, nearly breaking it.  No broken bones, tho.  I got seriously lucky.  I was sent back to the barracks for the rest of the day.  After that pain wore off, never had any issues.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This past week, I've been having pains in exactly the spot where that bar of zinc hit me 20 years ago.  Unfortunately, personal injury laws have a statute of limitations.  In Georgia, this statute of limitations is 2 years.  That's important because any claim against the Navy for this would be in Georgia, as that's where I was when the zinc hit me.  Why the hell is it bothering me after 20 years?  Grrrr!</p>

the five year anniversary of that injury, and arthritis is in full bloom now.

  
 And all I can say is ... damn, arthritis is teh suq.  Pain every day, limping

<p>Well that was fun.</p>
<p>Yesterday after work, had a bit of a drive to head to a 'viewing' for a co-worker's child. Straight shot out of town, ~ 40 minute drive.    Got time to turn into the parking lot and my left elbow went out of socket and stuck.    I have 2 arms so not dangerous but man it hurt and was unexpected. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>( for those that dont know, my radius bone was replaced with Adamantium ( ok, ok, titanium :) ) a few years back to an accident with one of my dogs.  During the accident, pushed what was left into my wrist so its hosed too.    But normally it stays where its supposed to.. )</p>

 Like everything these days, it's suspicious.  But so far it's all just noise
from the people who are in charge of keeping everyone in a constant state
of crisis all the time.  I'm not gonna worry about it until they tell us to
-- and then I'll do the opposite of what they say. 
  
 Last month I was sick ... didn't get a positive Coof test but I had some
of the symptoms.  If it was, then it really has gotten mild enough that every
remaining rule other than "wash your damn hands" needs to be rescinded.

<p>Same here.</p>
<p>We had it end of Jan, beginning Feb in  2020, before anyone knew what it was.  We were "functionally sick" about 2 weeks, 'its sort of like flu, but its not, its mostly just annoying, but wtf is this as its not a cold'. </p>
<p>I was also dealing with a kidney stone ( longest running one i have had to date ) and i know all the tests i was getting, i caught it at the hospital..  </p>

<p>I do have the dull pain all the time. sometimes worse if i move wrong ( especially in mornings, i cant use that arm to get out of bed, it takes a bit before i can use it ), but i suspect it would be a LOT worse if it wasn't for the nerve damage down there.</p>

 Having all the nerve endings dead and unable to process pain sounds better
than having joints full of arthritis that are going to give you a dull pain
response around the clock. 
  
 As for me and my family, I think we all finally got the coof.  For me it
was like a flu, and not the worst flu I've had either.  After clearing the
days-without-symptoms thing I went out of town for a week, and most of the
time I was just really really tired.  Then I came home and pretty much slept
the entire weekend. 
  
 For what it's worth ... the two members of my family who were vaccinated
had more severe symptoms than the two of us who weren't vaccinated.

<p>Im sure this should hurt.. but its not.  At least not any more than the normal constant pain i have in that arm. ( and the other arm, due to surgery i should never had had.  if i had only known the long term side effects of surgery would be far worse than just letting the injury go.. )</p>

<p>well. that was fun.</p>
<p>At the office today, pushing down on something today, straight armed flat handed. not hard, just needed a flat area. The bone in my wrist on the outside ( they are a little bigger than most people anyway,  you can see them ) folded under and into my wrist.  Sort of an odd thing for me to do, so never seen that happen before.</p>
<p>No pain, as i bet most of the nerves are gone by now.  But its not supposed to do that.  I'm sure its due to when i shattered my radius and shoved what was left into my wrist.  ( replaced it with a chunk of titanium, up by the elbow )</p>
<p>Bet in another 5 or 10 years, i wont be able to use it at all. Disappointing. </p>

<p>The medical industry is *so* demanding and yet so entitled at the same time - and... unfortunately tends to be run administratively by *PHYSICIANS* and other senior health care advisors who *THINK* they're God Level geniuses because they can repair the body - and therefore assume they're completely competent in things like running a business efficiently, making complex IT decisions accurately, and understanding how to offer the highest level of customer service. <br /><br />They're not unlike Linux developers. :) <br /><br />They're also a very "checklist" oriented industry - they follow procedures from the second you walk in until the second you walk out - which is why you are asked to fill out the same forms on every visit. It is just part of their "redundancy checklist policy". <br /><br />It has no exception forking - it is "This happens, this is how you respond," in a linear fashion that they believe always results in the correct solution. Almost all medical practices, groups, the entire industry,

<p>For the record - Trump was President when I went to Rocky Point. :) <br /><br />I think it is pretty non-partisan to allow a certain amount of gray-market traffic between Mexico and the US. Literally, there are towns on the border that exist JUST for medicine and dentistry, and they have signs on the US side advertising and telling you where to turn. <br /><br />There are the usual warnings... "you're operating outside the protection of the US Government." <br /><br />And there are absolutely risks. But there are also a lot of benefits too. </p>

 I have to introduce my mother to you.       
      
 You may say the car is red but she may tell you that the car is brownish
crinsom.     
    
 If you want to step out of doubts you need to scan the color and determinate
its sRGB, then compare it to a chart, but then you hit uncertainity thresholds
because scanners are not perfect.   
  
 So, we can agree that the car is red up to a certain usable point given the
proper tools. TV and social media and politicians aren't, sadly.

 I have lost track of the official local data around here, but so far we have
no flood of either covid patients or vaccine side effects. We didn't have
a real flood before the vaccine either.       
      
 But then I am seeing as many cases of people getting screwed by the virus
as of people getting side effects
so bad they need to take days off from work or outright cancel activities
they outright need to do (such as medical treatments).     
    
 The mrna trick actually produces antibodies, but I think there is a sizeable
slice of the population who would see no benefit from getting jabbed. There
are demographic groups that will benefit and those who don't.   
  
 This is also a position I have heard from doctors that are in the trenches.

 Facts don't change but     
    
 1) You can use a given set of valid statistics to back nearly any point you
want to back.   
 2) When an epidemy hits, dataset integrity goes right through the window
(not talking about this one, but a common complaint I get from doctors regarding
others is that datasets always get twisted, death certificates get manipulated
etc. in order to contain panic).   
  
 and therefore assuming you are working with, not only imperfect, but far
from perfect information... it is not unreasonable.

 You say that a lot. "Cognitive dissonance." And it kinda sounds like you
don't know what you mean by "cognitive dissonance" (we can't tell when it's
happening, according to you), and if you don't, then why talk about it? Other
than because Fuckwit Scott Adams talks about it a lot; he doesn't know what
he means either.       
        
 So for me, that all is a null signal.       
        
 So, first of all: it's not like "two movies playing on the same screen."
Instead, it's like this: one movie is playing on the screen. There are 4 people
in the audience. 3 of them agree on what they're seeing on the screen.   
   
        
 But the fourth viewer is on LSD, and he also sees more or less the same thing
that the other 3 audience members see on the screen, with the addition of
some colored fringes (because LSD is not a strong hallucinogen, it generally
does not make you see things that aren't even there; it just distorts.)  
    
        
 Viewer #4 sees "sorta"
the same thing, but it's all out of whack because he can't *process* it. He's
lost the plot of the movie. He can't remember exactly what happened in the
previous scene; he can't keep the story straight in his head. He sees most
of the3 same things, but to him, it's all a disjointed and incoherent series
of random images.       
        
 Objective truth is available to us. I see it when I walk down the street
and say "that car is red." We can all agree that the damn car is red. Doesn't
pose a problem. Isn't controversial.       
        
 Obviously this is a more complicated situation. It takes careful analysis.
      
      
      
 That means you have to do some work. Have to do some analysis, some thinking.
    
      
 And if you just sit here and say, "fuck it, I can just believe whatever I
want because facts are political", then you are just punting.     
      
 There is a process
by which we seek after truth. Maybe we don't all agree with what the process
is, but that at least is something that can be talked about and refined. 
   
    
    
 *How* do you make decisions? This is a question with a specific answer; you
have to spend time thinking about what is observable and what isn't./[2 You
have to spend time thinking about what your analytical framework is, and isn't,
and why.   
    
 And if you just sit here and say "nobody knows", or "believe whatever you
want", then you have failed to really think anout the framework for your own
beliefs, or justify them, and have failed to say anything meaningful about
the facts of the matter, so why bother discussing it.   
  
  
 In other words, your entire argument becomes "it's possible that I might
be right"--but that says nothing. It doesn't actually say anything about the
question at hand.

 For better or for worse (and believe me, it's worse) the covid thing is just
like global warming -- any "science" that may exist is dwarfed by the fact
that people are choosing a body of facts that align with the ones approved
by their political tribe, and then claiming that only their facts are the
real ones. 
  
 You're doing it.  I'm doing it.  This isn't epidemiology -- it is, as you
correctly point out, fantasy.  But it's fantasy on *both* sides of the debate.
 Objective truth is simply not available to us.

 That's the problem.  There is enough cognitive dissonance on this topic for
everyone to be 100% sure they have the objective facts, even though there
may be half a dozen conflicting truths to choose from. 
  
 "Everyone agrees on this, except for those who don't, but they don't count"
isn't science; it's Science(tm). 
  
 Perspective is literally the only thing we have here.

 It seems to be one of those "two movies on one screen" things.  There's so
much anecdote out there that anyone can pick the facts they want and come
to the conclusion they want ... you, me, anyone ... 
  
 Recently-vaccinated soccer players having heart attacks on the pitch ...
Carlos Tejada, a healthy 49 year old NYT editor, dies of a heart attack one
day after bragging about getting his booster ... myocarditis cases among vaccinated
children are on the rise ... 
  
 And of course both sides (I hate that there are sides) will claim that the
others' facts are wrong. 
  
 So I remain skeptical and maintain that the virus, which is objectively becoming
milder, is the smaller risk.  I could absolutely be wrong.

<p>These days facts are like 'holes' every one has one. It all depends on what one wants to believe, as there is research and 'scientific assumption' to back it up for you. </p>
<p>My facts ( including having the china **flu** myself ) point to its all a big scam by the world's leaders, for a variety of sinister goals.  I also wonder if it the research lab chosen to fund was not intentional, knowing that they were sloppy and would release it by mistake.   "see, it wasn't us, they did it"</p>
<p>Once there is a virus that at least exceeds current flu death rates, I might listen. Until then, its a scam and i feel bad for people who bought into it and were used, in effect.</p>

 First, my response was directed at IG, who is a friend, and most others in
this thread have less standing to say anything.  
  
 So, here's the tea: is is a very firmly established fact that cardiovascular
issues put a person at increased risk from the virus. 
 The vaccine does carry cardiovascular risks, but they are very rare (almost
at the level of statistical background noise, and very hard to measure) and
mostly apply to younger males, so largely not relevant to the discussion.

  
 It is *not* an established fact that cardiovascular disease puts a person

risk is so rare.

 This is counter to what I've read, which is that viruses naturally attenuate
over time as natural selection favors mutations with greater transmissivity
and that don't kill their hosts. Conversely, mass vaccination can have the
unintended consequence of breeding super strains.       
      
 Anyway, admittedly I'm no virologist. I'm not even confident that I spelled
that right. But my
position is simple: 1. they shouldn't have called it a vaccine, because it
doesn't work the way we all traditionally understand vaccines (neither in
design nor in outcome), and I think this is the source of a good deal of mistrust[*];
2. yes, it is a balance of risks, and this balance should be considered by
the individual and not the state; 3. one of the key founding principles of
the US was to err on the side of individual liberty even when it may be dangerous.
I'm not anti-vax, but I am staunchly anti-mandate.     
    
 And I believe that this is the mainstream position on the right. The left
is doing everything they can to paint the right as anti-vax because it's politically
convenient for them to demonize their opponents as "science deniers".   
  
 [*] And speaking of the left and mistrust of the government, I've heard what
I find to be a very plausible theory floated that Democrats
in power are deliberately fostering this mistrust because they need a portion
of the population to resist the vaccine. They can't stop the virus and they
know it, so they need a scapegoat to blame for their eventual failure.

 I really can't share much because that would deanon myself, but authorities
here have added a bunch of heart/circulatory effects to the list of known
side effects of the jabs.            

            
 The risk is very low but it is also non trivial.           
          
 I don't follow Twitter or any media. My perception on the street is that
I see about as much people screwed by the virus as screwed by reactions to
the jab. By this I mean I am seeing more or less the same ammount of people
[A[Bcancelling appointments here because they got hit by the virus as people
who is cancelling because they are trashed by the jab.         
        
 A friend of mine got neurological damage directly correlated to the thing.
      
      
 What I mean is that people in certain collectives will benefit for taking
the jab but for a whole lot of people it does not make so much sense. Hospotals
here know perfectly well who are the demographics screwed over by the virus.
The ones who are really screwed over seem to be screwed over regardless of
their vaccination status (seriously, immunosupressed
people here is taking a good pounding).     
    
 Given the fact the capability of the vaccine to prevent spread is very limited,
I think campaigns for jabbing (shooting?) 100% of the population on the grounds
that it is what it takes to prevent spread come across as money making schemes.
  
  
 I mean, they used to say that 70-80% was all it took. Then a number of places
reached the number and suddenly everybody needs to take it, or else we will
all die...?

 dude, that's one messed-up risk calculation.  
  
 I've been hearing a bunch of nonsense coming from antivax twitter lately.
The claim that the newest variant is inherently "milder" is confounded by
incresing vaccine coverage which is making everything milder for everybody
over time. So let's say maybe the virus is maybe 10% milder *inherently* (and
I do believe it is milder), but the rest of the mildness comes from vax. 
  
 Covid infects cells that express ACE2 - this includes airway, lungs, kidneys,
cardiovascular, GI, and maybe brain tissue to a smaller degreee. The virus
itself is extremely dangerous to people with heart disease, for that reason;
this has to be balanced against the risks of the vaccine
which are objectively milder. When I was infected, my heart rate and BP were
spiking wildly. 
  
 You're r decision-making is exactly backwards, IG.

The argument to be made is that if we had done
nothing, we would have ended up here sooner.  The thing that makes it all
sort of weird, though, is that hindsight is NOT 20/20.  We aren't sure whether
having done anything differently would have changed the outcome.  So basically
we have all sides saying "I told you so". 
  
 I can still confidently say though, that I would still prefer it everyone

the vaccines are a higher risk for me than the virus.  And I'm ok with that.

 I'm sure that, by the time the election rolls around, you'll be able to point
to some local jurisdictions, at least, that are still doing some things that
you find to be obnoxious - excessive mask mandates or quarantines for kids
or something... 
  
 I don't think it changes the core point I'm making. POTUS just said there's
no possibility of a federal response now, and that reflects the lockdown-fatigue
of the electorate. Everybody's tired. People want to get back to normal. People
including most liberals. 
  
 We saw it before with Delta and we're seeing it again with Omicron - lockdowns
aren't really working to get to a covid-zero policy anymore. Even New Zealand
has given up on them. Because these viruses are so transmissible, we're kinda
throwing up our hands and saying -
"this is the new normal. deal with it." 
  
 That's what Americans want. China, on the other hand... it'll be interesting
to see how long they stick with their present course, where one infection
can shut down a whole global shipping port.

 vaccines remain effective against omicron, although less so against transmission.

  
 "milder" needs to be put in the proper context, because it's not the same
thing as "mild." NYC hospitalizations are up sharply in the last few days.

 The problem with draconian lockdowns is they don't even work that well. 
   
    
 If you shut everything but food, energy and healthcare, food, energy and
healthcare workers will go to work, may get infected there, will return home
and get their families infected too.   
  
 I have first hand experience with hard lockdowns which didn't prevent Hospitals
from being overloaded, so I am not exactly a fan of the argument that locked
up countries are doing great.

<p>Asians like that are... interesting. They've adopted Western Baizou Liberalism. Let me take a wild stab... <br /><br />She is single, or dates almost exclusively white or black men, if she isn't married to one. She has a strained relationship with her family. She doesn't really have a huge circle of OTHER Asian friends? <br /><br />I don't know Koreans as well as Chinese and Japanese - and their culture is markedly different in some significant ways... and then you add a dash of West-Coast vs. East Coast in there... <br /><br />  but from just what you've described - I bet I'm pretty close. <br /><br />I never trust an Asian who will admit to being "oppressed" by the "White European Male Patriarchy," or who will reduce themselves to the status of an "oppressed minority". Culturally, they're among the most racially xenophobic people in the world - They don't like *other* Asians, tolerate white people, and their opinion tends to rapidly decline on any other ethnicities after that. <br /><br /><br />An

 That's always been the case in Japan (and other Asian countries, particularly
post-SARS1) since well before the pandemic, so it's no surprise. 
  
 One of my rock climber friends is a Yale-educated Korean woman, very liberal,
who worked as a health care economist. You know, the kind of policy wonk who
has literally read every word of the American Care Act and has written analyses
about it. 
  
 In 2020 she was posting a bunch of rants on Facebook about how America should
be adopting Spain-style or Asia-style hard lockdowns. You know, she was really
quite upset about it. She'd say "of course it's draconian, but it works, and
it's exactly what we should be doing." 
  
 I said two things in response: "look,
that's not even necessary; even NYC got its outbreak under control without
going that far". 
  
 But I also said--and here's the kicker--"you just don't like our culture."

  
 LOL, but it's exactly true: she doesn't like our political culture. Even
in the bluest states in the US, we did not have anything close to Asia-style
or New Zealand-style zero-covid policies. Because it's just not in the American
political culture to do things that way. 
  
 Well, I also called her out for her credentialist attitude, and her response
included "you'r right--I don't like American white supremacist culture", so
maybe I struck a nerve? 
  
 Can you believe it, PD? This shit coming from my mouth?

<p>Although, with that said - it doesn't sound like a terrible idea. Japan has a strong, united, collectivist social *identity* as a nation and a people - a strong sense of interdependent responsibility to one another that trumps individualism. Some manifestations of that are troublesome in their society. It creates a culture very concerned about avoiding offending - to the point where it limits interaction and people are very formal and restrained with strangers in public settings. That makes it individually isolating and lonely. I met Chinese and European white people there and we had lots of discussions, and the Chinese guy liked me so much he wanted to be my friend. He was disappointed when I told him it wouldn't be safe for him. Showed him my Facebook feed, and he understood. But I didn't really get to know *one* Japanese person in the week I was there. They don't know you, they have the bare minimum of acceptable interaction with you. <br /><br />On the other hand - none of them are complaining about

<p>One, i should be in hospital. Entire nest, id never make it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I grabbed one wasp once some 15 years ago. There was a nest under the steps of a pool and i got it on the way up. Thankfully it was just the one that got me and not all of them ( it was a small nest.. just a few but still... ) Hand and arm was on fire. I couldn't breathe, temp went up, lightheaded.  Instead of going i went and sat in the house. Took some benadryl. I decided if it got worse id go, but i'm sure i should have anyway. That is how people die, by being stupid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many many decades ago i was turning left into a parking lot, leaned forward a bit. A little sweat bee had flew in and got behind me. As i leaned back it stung as i squished it..  I thought i was going to die then.  That was when i learned im stupid allergic. </p>

<p>They definitely have a "Give me a reason, fucker," attitude. </p>
<p><br />I've killed a few hundred of them this summer... over a period of time. I had 3 friends visit and we got drunk in the pool and waged war on them all day. Filled a dixie cup full of their corpses over a 2 day period. <br /><br />We did the whole thing to a Viet Nam theme - out in the bush fighting those little black and yellow bastards... <br /><br /> ...as I said... we got drunk and killed 'em all day long, and they kept coming in waves - and by the end - things got a little Apocalypse Now. </p>

<p>I think the thing about a bee is that it is designed to AVOID stinging. I mean, it isn't an economical trade for a bee to sting - because you get a welt and some discomfort, and it rips its intestines out. <br /><br />Wasps are fuckers, though. </p>

 Anything that can sting gets destroyed.  I don't care what it is or where
it's from.  My wife is allergic and I simply hate the damn things.  The more
toxic the spray, the better. 
  
 I've seen the guys who do the whole routine of putting on a suit and then
vaccuming them up into a shop-vac with soapy water in it.  Fuck that noise,
give me the toxic chemicals.

<p>At least it was a nice drive, 45min one way, thru what is left of the country around here.  75. Some clouds. Almost no humidity. Don't get many days like this.    Dog liked hanging her head out the window. ( and ya, the top on the jeep was down )</p>

<p>Every wild honeybee nest in Arizona is assumed to be Africanized. So, they all go, as soon as they set up house. <br /><br />They're dangerous. <br /><br />European Honeybees - they'll only sting you on accident or because you've seriously threatened them - on purpose or otherwise. <br /><br />African Honeybees will come looking for a fight. </p>

 It's a low-pressure weekend around here, and the weather is not horrible,

<p>Heat is way different in NYC than in Arizona. I've walked a few blocks in NYC during a very hot summer, and it was miserable. 115 here is far more tolerable. <br /><br />But we've had a humid one, and my outdoors is basically a wasp metropolis during the day. Had Orkin come out here and spray two nests - but I suspect there are at least 3 remaining - and their stuff is slow acting - so it'll be a couple of days before I know if we got enough of them to cut down on it. My pool is basically a giant water reservoir for the flying, stinging bastards during the day - so you can only enjoy yourself after sunset. It literally has as much air-traffic as Sky Harbor *prior* to Covid - they're stacked up on landing approach, as 3 take off, 3 more are incoming, constantly. <br /><br />And I know they're using the water to build their fucking nests bigger, to make more wasps, to take more water. <br /><br />There should be something harmless to humans and organic you can put into your pool that they would take back

 I wouldn't say that. I would say that, knowingly or otherwise, you are pushing
something fraudulent.   
    
 The medical fraud associated with ivermectin is now well-documented.   
    
 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02081-w   
 https://grftr.news/why-was-a-major-study-on-ivermectin-for-covid-19-just-retracted/
  
  
  
 It should be no surprise, really, that opportunistic quacks and grifters
would crawl out of the woodwork during a pandemic. That's why some of us were
so skeptical, taking such a wait-and-see attitude, about some of the studies.

<p>Tho unrelated to the current situation,  FDA can kiss my ass.</p>
<p>I suffer with daily migraines. i have since i was in my early 20s.  The only thing that has helped me, and many others is ( was ) Midrin  ( and eventually learning the triggers and trying to avoid them: heat and sun ).</p>
<p>It was on the market for decades. ( i think upwards of 40 years ) with ZERO issues. It predates FDA rules.  Sooo what do they do a couple of years ago? "We refuse to grandfather, someone must pony up the millions to get it approved". So in effect killed it, as who is going to do that for what is now basically a generic?  I wonder who paid them off. </p>

<p>So just as the FDA approves a "vaccine" that would normally take seven or eight years, they warn you against taking a drug safer than aspirin which was approved long ago for human use.</p>
<p>Ivermectin was already getting harder to find as flu season nears. With this latest public service announcement being faithfully echoed and amplified, you can expect everything from Kareny cashiers demanding proof that you really own a horse, to state legislators and governors trying to get into the act in some fashion. If you haven't laid in a supply, my uneducated advice is to do it now. If no place local will sell it to you for cash, throw privacy to the wind and use a card of the beast to buy it online. Because it's better to have it and not need it.</p>

there is no statistically significant survival benefit for ivermectin.  So

 <<< Vitamin D is not one chemical but many. The natural type is produced
in the skin from a universally present form of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol.
Sunlight is the key: Its ultraviolet B (UVB) energy converts the precursor
to vitamin D3. In contrast, most dietary supplements are manufactured by exposing
a plant sterol to ultraviolet energy, thus producing vitamin D2. Because their
function is almost identical, D2 and D3 are lumped together under the name
vitamin D b but neither will function until the body works its magic>>>

 Beware Zinc. High doses may interfere with the absortion of other minerals
such as copper.       
      
 50 mg. sounds too dangerous of a dose to have unless it comes in non elemental
form (such as Zinc gluconate).     
    
 You can probably have up to 80 mg. of Zinc gluconate a day, but if you do,
you have to remember not to take such doses for long. You should stop three
months after you start taking it, and being taking it again after another
three months.   
  
 Also, don't forget Vitamin D seems to improve your odds quite a lot. You
can get D+K combos for very cheap today, so there is no excuse to have defficencies
there.

<p>My personal feeling is the FDA drug out ( no pun intended ) release of new drugs, presumably on the side of over-caution. However, what we did with this vax was wrong too. You need SOME time for testing.  Perhaps not a decade, but not a few weeks or months either.</p>

 The way I see it:     
    
 * Either the FDE and alikes were right when they forced laboratories to wait
for years before releasing a new drug.   
 * Or the FDA and alikes are right when they say it is ok to distribute vaccines
after just a year of development, in which case it means they were assholes
all the years before by blocking the development of medicines.   
  
 In both cases they end up being total bastards.

 Something people is overlooking is that having ok vitamin and mineral levels
seems to massively improve the odds on your favor. The virus is swipping through
misfed people regardless of the vaccination state around here.

<p>HCQ appears more effective if you administer it very early. Ivermectin is effective at any phase, from preventative to critically ill. 1% injectable is cheaper than pony paste and easier to dose. Just drink it.</p>

<p>Yep.  All one can hope is that they honestly thought the vax was safe/good, and just refused to give Trump any credit. Still wrong, but at least not deadly on its own.</p>

 Well I have seen them send critical people home with one of those battlefield
painkiller packs. While there were rooms available in the hospital.      
  
        
 Beat that.       
      
 I am familiar up to a point with hospital service and the disinformation
threat is very real. Laboratories DO buy doctors in order to secure sales.
I know some lab sales-people and they all tell me buying Doctors and managers
with prostitute orgies is not unheard off if they think they can generate
a positive profit by the end of the semester.     
    
 Negative reports for certain medications usually just hit when the lab intends
to swtch from that medication to a new line of meds. How convenient.   
  
 I don't want to discredit ACLL studies,
but under these circumptstances it is hard to trust them when it comes to
injecting biological agents in your body, specially since some of the laboratories
are suspect - seriously, they waited until the end of the 2020 elections to
disclose the vaccine, which hints there are partisant interests behind the
whole deal.

<p>Considering if they caught regular flu or a variety of other common infections, most likely would have died in that case too.  Since so many things could have impacted them in the same way, i hesitate to say it was 'due to covid' specifically. to me its more 'they were sick, caught something that made it worse'. I feel the underlying issue was the real problem.  To me it skews the story.</p>
<p>Id be ok with it if it was unique situation that only covid could 'aggravate' it and then you clearly state that was the 'cause' that pushed them over the edge..</p>

 Yeah, there's no sauce here (and I think I'm agreeing with PD again...) 
 
    
 I understand the paranoia though. Those of us who caught covid during the
early stages (say, around March 2020) felt very ill-served by a medical establishment
that was treating us like lepers and just telling us to stay home.   
    
 That's the way it had to be, of course. That was so that the hospitals could
focus their efforts on folks who actually needed the most care.   
    
 Although, I still hear stories of people being told to stay home despite
a rather shockingly low
SpO2. Ugh.   
  
  
 In NYC, it was a shitshow, with brutal triage decisions being made in the
field by paramedics instead of by the more qualified doctors. My mom's cousin
was sent home, where she suddenly died.

<p>Who is "they-ing"? <br /><br />The Pro-Vaccination argument is basically that there is some sinister *someone* out there. Maybe it is the Orange Man and his minions - maybe it is the bad conservatives who enjoy that the disease disproportionately affects PoCs and the poor, maybe it is "foreign disinformation operations"... It is all shadows and boogey men. <br /><br />Which admittedly, isn't a lot different than the arguments from the Anti-Vaccination argument. <br /><br />I'm not trying to pick a fight with you here.

<p>Dr Mccollough aint no quack.  I've researched the microbiology of the rona and Pete's summary is exactly in alignment with what I've uncovered.  I have first hand experience with the antivirals.  In my (and Pete's) opinion, its far safer to contract the rona and begin any one of 14 possible antiviral treatments, with "stacking" for high risk individuals.  Opinions contrary to this will be proven politically motivated over time. Compared to all other vaccine experience, the rona gene therapy is positively lethal.  The legal protections provided to the political and drug establishment are alarming.  Your insurance company is allowed to legally drop your coverage for "covid vaccine damage" because you willingly entered into an experimental research program.  the current "vaccine" is considered an experimental research biological treatment and you waive your downstream rights.  That is what the informed consent decree is, it tells you - you're on your own if anything goes wrong, ya, good luck with tha

<p>I dont happen to think we are.  Well not a real one, its a manufactured one.  The 'known' % death rate ( yes i know, cant trust all numbers, but with it so contradictory to the narrative, i tend to believe they are true ) is so low that i dont consider it a crisis.  There are far bigger risks out there and they are ignored.</p>
<p>I have also known several people who have had it, including myself and my wife. 1 person i know had to undergo treatment, recovered. One person i know of did die, of pre-existing complications, not the virus its self. All from personal experience. </p>

 My position on this is simple: there's plenty of evidence, you're just setting
the bar too high, under the circumstances, for what you think is "enough."
We don't have the luxury of waiting for years of long-term safety data when
(a) we're in the middle of a crisis, (b) the data we do have is extremely
good, with negligible safety concerns and excellent efficacy, (c) based on
all our medical experience, we have no particular reason to suspect a serious
long-term safety issue, and (d) we have every reason to believe that the long-term
effects of exposure to the live virus can be very bad, with a large percentage
of people experiencing lingering symptoms. 
  
 Personally, it took me months to fully recover. And in my immediate
social circle, I have: 
  
 * one death 
 * two cases of anosmia, which is likely due to nerve damage. nerve damage
can be permanent. 
 * one of the people with anosmia also has permanent hearing loss due to nerve
damage. She had a lot of brain inflammation. 
 * one person with lung damage who is being told that she will likely require
supplemental oxygen for the rest of her life. 
  
 "Long Covid" is a very real phenomenon and it's not fear-mongering to say
so. It *might* be baseless (and irresponsible) fear-mongering to push nonexistent
safety concerns about vax.

 That cuts both ways; if the decision to get Pfizered is suspect because the
evidence is "partial" (whatever that means), then the decision *not* to get
Pfizered is just as fraught. In the reality we currently live in, it's kind
of like we are building the plane as we are flying it. In other words, that's
life.

 Like the at least two vaccine trials that I know of that failed, where the
results were published. Right. 
  
 Believe what you want to, I guess, but from my point there's no point in
discussing anything with someone who will not be swayed by *any* amount of
evidence; that's goalpost-moving.

 that's just it. Lack of social trust is precisely the problem. Only now it

 @clairlemon (Claire Lehmann, founder of the libertarian-leaning publication
Quillette) has been tweeting a lot about vaccine safety/efficacy lately. Here
are some of the highlights:     
      
 "For the      
 @BretWeinstein     
 fans who are incredulous that I would believe that COVID19 vaccines are safe,
here is the data that I base this view on: a randomised controlled trial (N=43,548)
in which adverse events are the same in the placebo & vaccine groups"

study in original tweet)     
      
 "And another, with a sample of 30,420:..."     
      
 -- https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1411191312515100675?s=20     
      
 "If you're wondering why I'm a pro-Vaxxer [links to LA Times article 'Can
COVID-19 cause lasting erectile dysfunction?']     
    
    
 -- https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1412892637808365568?s=20
  
    
 "the prevalence of foreign disinformation operations is highly statistically
and substantively significant in predicting a drop in mean vaccination rates
over time"   
    
 -- https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1412949391376191488?s=20   
    
 "I hate to have to do this, because it's embarrassing. Heather and Bret shared
this (now retracted) paper which proposed the insane figure that 2 people
die for every 3 who are saved by vaccination. They then retracted their comments
the following day..."   
    
 https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1413025373818818560?s=20 (link to video
in tweet, appears to reference the very same study that PD linked to a few
days ago - retracted?)   
    
 "The reason why anti-vaxxers are pushed back against is not because everyone
is paid off by Big Pharma. It's because vaccine hesitancy is the default position.
Have you ever met a child who *wanted*
to get vaccinated? We are all hesitant & we use our rationality to overcome
it."   
    
 -- https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1413073321164296193?s=20   
    
 "It's the easiest thing in the world to drum up fear about vaccination. We
know that anti-vaccine content spreads faster on social media than scientifically
accurate content. Presumably because it taps an innate fear.   
  
  
 -- https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1413073694365155330?s=20 (link to
study of social media in tweet) 
  
 "A lot of the fear simply comes from a fear of needles. People are often
surprised to learn that vaccines are much safer than drugs we routinely take
orally" 
  
 -- https://twitter.com/clairlemon/status/1413074032321204227?s=20 (link to
MarginalRevolution article in tweet) 
  
 OK, that's quite enough. My own comments follow: 
  
 * The first tweet I linked to, above, is kind of a bombshell.
If the frequency of vaccine-induced adverse events cannot, statistically,
by distinguished from the background level of adverse events in a placebo
group, then we cannot reject the null hypothesis that the true rate of adverse
events is, in fact, zero--and this calls into question the basic methodology
and conclusions of some of the studies that have been linked to lately. 
  
 * Claire is, or should be, one of those people who retains the respect of
"both sides."

<p>Not sure i mentioned it the other day, but ended up with a infected toe, that got into my kidneys. (Staph) never a good thing. People die from that. 2 weeks of antibiotics, no death, and its all better now :) </p>
<p>Short version is due to toenails, which i gave up on doctors 30+ years ago and do it myself now. But since i have little feeling left from all the surgeries and DYI efforts, ( and too high of a pain tolerance ) i missed this one and it got away from me. My GP asked me to go to a foot doctor " perhaps there is something new they can do for you now" </p>
<p>Went in today, and aside from shocking the doctor " what, how are you able to do that on your own, doesn't it hurt ? " or even " ya, my GP fished it out" "what, he didnt numb it first??"  "nah, no need"...      No new treatments other than the same old thing. "if you ever want to come in and we can try it again and see... " So wasted some sick time from work. Bleh. But it is a nice day out, so wasn't a bad drive.  ( top went down on the jeep )</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun times :) </p>

<p>Visited mother today. Shes in a assisted care type of facility ( long story, she went in for rehab after getting knee surgery but just wont do what is needed to get out ).  ( reason i had to get the f-ing shots, they were banning people from visiting unless you had them )</p>
<p>On the way out, woman in a hallway asked to pet my dog. ( wheel chair bound, most of them in there are ) We went over, she introduced her stuffed animal to my dog. As we left she was talking to it "wasn't that a sweet dog".  I hate to see people like that. Nature can be cruel.</p>

 The thing is, we don't know that some degree of immunity *isn't* life-long,
either from natural infection of vaccination or both (although I do believe
that vaccine immunity is stronger than natural immunity.) 
  
 It's an empirical fact that antibody secretion wanes after natural infection
with SARS-CoV-2, and this can happen very quickly in some people (like me.)
But this doesn't mean there is no immunity. 
  
 Immunity to measles is life-long (because measles cannot mutate its F protein
and remain viable.) 
  
 Flow cytometry experiments found that people exposed to
the original SARS virus still had a T-cell immune response, decades after
the fact. 
  
 A virologist I follow explains it this way: yeah, the antibody response may
fade away. But memory B cells remain, and they are capable of restarting antibody
secretion within hours of detecting a pathogen that they remember, as compared
to primary infection where it takes a couple of weeks to evolve a strong antibody
response. 
  
 A strong antibody response is the first line of defense--the foot soldiers--but
it is not the only defense and not even essential, some patients who were
genetically incapable of producing an antibody response were still able to
fight off covid via T-cell response etc. 
  
 (This is me being *optimistic*, y'know?)

<p>I think the right answer was reduced contact, for people most at risk, and the rest of us, just dont lick each others eyeballs and use common sense. Those that get sick, most will recover and have real antibodies. Many will never get sick.</p>

I mean... I suppose one could argue that all of the diseases and infections we currently get, wear you down over a lifetime until eventually you die of complications resulting from reoccurring infections of the common cold or flu. That the culmination of repeated common, mild sicknesses eventually cause culminative degradation of health until one of them *gets* you - or parts start failing. <br /><br /><br />But Covid-19 seems kind of like the meth of infectious disease.

 We bought season passes to our usual ski resort again, for the 2021-22 season.
This winter we didn't get out much, partly because of my foot injury and mostly
because of the pandemic.   
    
 Things have got to get back to normal at some point, so this is a bit of
a leap of faith, but I guess we'll probably be fine.   
    
 I've been exposed to The Corona 4 times now: infected in Feb/Mar 2020, exposed
to my infected girlfriend for weeks last December (no symptoms on my side),
and then vaccinated twice. I think I've earned some immunity.   
  
  
 If you lived in NY and tried to ski in VT this past winter it would have
been a shitshow. VT almost completely banned travel (though this was not really
enforced AFAIK), Killington had all kinds of restrictive policy... this is
all supposed to be back to normal this fall, but I hope the policymakers do
not backtrack..

 all that's based on a cursory skim of the study. I don't have time for an
in-depth read. 
  
 I think their NNTV parameter may only make sense during a finite time range,
and if so that may be a major flaw.

 Best current estimates of covid IFR by age: 
  
 0-17 years old: 20 deaths/million infections 
 18-49: 500 deaths/mil 
 50-64: 6,000 deaths/mil 
 65+: 90,000 deaths/mil ( = 9% ) 
  
 source: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html

  
 I take it as axiomatic that covid is here to stay, and everyone will be infected
with it eventually unless vaccinated. (You don't know anyone who's managed
to avoid the flu all their life.) 
  
 So. The study cites "16 serious side effects per 100,000 vaccinations",
which is 160/mil. These are not *deaths*, these are just *serious side effects.*

  
 So: I'm confused about the mathematical framework that this study/predictive
model is using; it gives somewhat different results from my look at the data.
But it still finds that although the risks are on the same order of magnitude,
the risks are slightly lower in the vaccination
scenario. 
  
 Studies show that the current vaccines are highly effective at preventing
hospitalization and almost 100% effective at preventing deaths. It's hard
for me to square that with their NNTV - what am I missing here. It's not the
way we're accustomed to looking at the numbers. 
  
 Anyway, long story short, if you buy the CDC data then vax are a good idea
for all age groups 18 and up, and the only sane choice for anyone 65+. (160
serious side effects is still preferable to 500 deaths in the 18-49 group.)

<p>I think the thing this study probably misses is - <br /><br />Are the people who are most likely to experience fatal or severe complications from the vaccinations - generally the same people more likely to experience fatal or severe complications from the illness? <br /><br />I bet there is a strong correlation. </p>

 OK. Rebekah Jones got herself fired from her Florida government job building
a covid dashboard (based on ArcGIS and very similar to the dashboard built
by Johns Hopkins which was also based on ArcGIS)   
    
 She got fired over insubordinate, unilateral changes that she made to the
way the data was presented, and for crashing the system due to locking people
out unilaterally, and for speaking to the press--she had released some infographics
that were not in sync with the official infographics.   
  
  
 Looks like she had some differences of opinion about the way the data should
be bucketed, but spun it into some huge conspiracy theory about being pressured
to "delete cases and deaths" by the DeSantis administration. 
  
 (Apparently, state epidemilogists were following
CDC guidelines, but Jones wanted to do everything her way.)

<p>I felt an energy ebb after my shot. But it is consistent with an energy ebb I've been having since I hit my late 40s... so, I just chalked it up to that. Maybe it was a side effect - but it wasn't worse than anything else life is throwing at me in old age. </p>

<p>It seems like most colleges were requiring mandatory vaccinations prior to Covid-19. My daughter, most of her friends, most of our friends children who are entering college, all required immunization records prior to enrollment. <br /><br />Maybe you're just so old... ;) <br /><br />But seriously - logically it makes sense - Academia is just another indoctrination tool of the Authoritarian CTRL-Left. </p>

 That was exactly the way I felt after my 2nd shot. Absolutely a hard-to-explain
"I feel a litte bit like I am not yet sick, but might be coming down with
a fever soon" sort of feeling. 
  
 It wasn't horrible or anything, and it passed after about 3 hours, but it

<p>You have to provide vaccination records to get your kid into primary and secondary school.<br /><br />Flu shots are generally highly encouraged, provided free, and tend to be "recognized" - kind of like blood drives - with "virtue awards" to encourage participation. <br /><br />I get the point you're trying to make - but that is the way of split hairs and subjective reasoning on the severity or lack thereof of the virus. <br /><br />Both sides are going to do that shit. I mean - if you're affected by the decision, and you're uncertain of the vaccine - you have the agency to refuse the virus and take a gap year, find online courses, choose other alternatives. <br /><br /> </p>

 They are making them a favor.   
  
 College degrees are useful for getting jobs at fast food chains only, so
it is only good if they kick you out.

<p>I had a dog like that - my wife was frequently jealous of her. I mean, she was a good sport about it - but she thought me and the dog were way too smitten with one another. :) <br /><br />Same thing, when she was yelping in the vets, I could tell it was her. Recognized her "voice". The couple of times she was sick, I got an air mattress and slept down on the floor by her side. <br /><br />Sorry this happened to your dog. I get it. </p>

<p>I took antibiotics before dental procedures from about 1987 until just a couple of years ago. My dentist said it was no longer recommended - the risk of developing allergies or antibiotic resistant infections was greater than the risk from my heart condition. <br /><br />Then an ultrasound determined that my diagnosed condition was bad. I don't have the heart condition they thought I did. I've got an irregular heartbeat - but it is back to just being an undiagnosed "heart murmur. No longer Mitral Valve Prolapse. </p>

<p>Well, i did have it back in Jan of 2020. </p>
<p>I would say that overall the experience of being sick was worse. I felt like poo for 2 weeks. At least with the arm, as long as i didnt try to move it ( especially upwards ), or lay on it at night, it was just *really* sore.  ( in reality its hard to go about daily life that way so it hurt often..   hurt a lot )</p>
<p>But i was mobile and getting stuff done, when i was sick last year, i just wanted to lay in bed.</p>

<p>It would be interesting if we could correlate side-effects from the vaccine with likelihood of severity of the actual infection. <br /><br />Because everyone I know complained about headaches and fatigue and arm aches to various degrees, including my daughter. <br /><br />I was virtually asymptomatic to the injections. </p>

 I got Pfizer also. Admittedly as an engineer anything rushed to release makes
me nervous. I didn't effectively have a choice.

 I had a few energy issues. Basically, about 3 hours of slight tiredness,
the afternoon of the day after the 2nd shot. 
  
 And soreness around the injection site, after both shots. 
  
 That was all.

<p>My coworker went home early sore and tried from the 2nd Moderna shot. <br /><br />I'm the only one I know who didn't have ANY notable side effects from the vaccine. My wife and kid both had aches - my wife's were pretty mild... <br /><br />I might have had some energy issues. </p>

 I saw some interesting stuff come over the wire about the Salk polio vaccine.
  
    
 TL;DR: Polio didn't become a major issue in the United States until we had
widespread sanitary drinking water systems. Before then, people were constantly
exposed to polio through unsanitary water, and widespread immunity was a given.
Of course people still got sick with tragic consequences, but it wasn't as
frequent.   
  
  
 Thing is, nobody is arguing that we should go back to drinking muddy water
from a well in the village green surrounded by a pile of cowshit.

<p>When people say their arms hurt - I get the impression they meant it REALLY hurt. <br /><br />I've had kind of a charlie horse after a flu shot, in the past... but never anything *debilitating*. <br /><br />So I wonder, if people are just pussies, or if this side-effect is REALLY painful. My 2nd dose, I had a mild ache for a day that wasn't nearly as bad as some flu shots I've had. </p>
<p>And I've been exhausted more often - a very consuming, total exhaustion... but it is hard to say if that is a side effect, or just my lifestyle and the way I abuse myself. If I were eating right, exercising right, not smoking or drinking, getting to bed, taking plenty of water, and younger and I was this exhausted after the shot, I'd go... "It is the shot..." <br /><br />But at 51, the exhaustion just feels like the side effect of driving my body like I stole it since I was 13. </p>

<p>In the past, what you would bet on is that eventually the novel corona virus or other virus pandemic would simply disappear. That is what has happened to every other one so far. The Spanish Flu, SARS... <br /><br />A virus that is too deadly and too effective tends to burn itself out. A mild one isn't really a major problem if it hangs around. Nature tends to balance things like this. <br /><br />I find that another proof of intelligent design - BTW. Gore predicted the total absence of arctic ice by 2015. Instead, 2015 saw the largest extent of arctic ice in history, trapping a Russian icebreaker for 3 months, with nothing able to get to it to free it. Turns out that melting ice sheets lowered the salinity in the arctic ocean, making the freezing point higher - the system is designed to accommodate for melting ice by making MORE ice. All the models missed it. <br /><br />But anyhow - viruses tend to do the same kind of thing. The fact that this one *isn't* doing those things, and is so perfectly balanc

 Like the seasonal flu? 
  
 If the virus mutates, that's a possible outcome -- it turns from "pandemic"
to "endemic".  Not really something we want to see, but it's possible.

<p>That has been my thought. If the vaccine kills off all the people in agreement with the powerful elites... <br /><br />Doesn't that leave the powerful elites without any of their support, alone with all the people who want to see the heads of the powerful elites on top of poles? <br /><br />Seems like a truly shitty Mastermind Villain plot. </p>

 They shouldn't have hardcoded anything.  That's why we're starting to hear
noise about people eventually needing booster shots -- they will eventually
have to upgrade the firmware on the nanites.   :)

<p>So, speaking about vaccines... <br /><br />It just occurred to me that the claims about the efficacy of the vaccines all suffer from the maxim that you can't prove a negative. <br /><br />I mean... average people take the vaccine and then they walk around confident that it has a 98% efficacy after 5 weeks and a 2nd dose. <br /><br />But what exactly does this really mean? <br /><br />I mean, natural chance had about an 85% efficacy against catching the virus. I think about 15% of the population ended up catching it... <br /><br />So... I assume that what they mean is that in clinical trials, those who got placebos or were in control groups maintained an infection rate of about 15% of their groups... and in those who were given the real thing, that about 2% ended up getting infected. <br /><br /><br />And later studies in actual populations outside of clinical studies showed similar results. <br /><br />But you're dealing with limited numbers in clinical studies, and hard to track results among gene

 i for one welcome our new nanite overlords. 
  
 Did I mention how I felt when covid was causing delirium issues for me? Like
the Borg nanites were infecting my brain and I was losing control of my own
thoughts. I was afraid I would never get that control back. 
  
 That's the reality of covid for all too many of us (the rate of psychiatric
illness is HIGH in recovered hospital patients.) 
  
 And I know y'all are joking, but I feel like there's some hardcode antivaxers
out there who are NOT joking in their suspicion of what "Gates" put in "his"
vaccine. Those people need to wake up from their fever dreams.

<p>Yes, this last year or so has been very enlightening for many, and validation for others ( like myself ).  I do agree with the ship analogy, problem is today the ones that do break out form the pack and get noticed, get torpedoed by people far more powerful than any of us. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And while i do have a dim view on the human race in general, there are always exceptions.  "good" people are out there.</p>

<p>I have mixed emotions on this thought. <br /><br />Maybe the majority of society - being sheep and not very capable of critical thought - need and deserve exactly the system they get. <br />Maybe it is on those of us who are superior to the rest of society to figure out how to keep ourselves exempt from the limitations that applies to all the mouth-breathers. <br /><br />It isn't a pleasant thought - but the last year really kind of put a spotlight on how incompetent, incapable and irrational most of society is. </p>
<p>It certainly creates a hassle and dilemma for the rest of us - having to figure out how to avoid being limited in our personal freedoms and potential by the slowest ships in the fleet - when most of the fleet is paddleboats. <br /><br />But I've certainly come to understand how someone could come to have contempt for the mass of humanity as a whole. </p>

<p>I have mixed emotions on this thought. <br /><br />Maybe the majority of society - being sheep and not very capable of critical thought - need and deserve exactly the system they get. <br />Maybe it is on those of us who are superior to the rest of society to figure out how to keep ourselves exempt from the limitations that applies to all the mouth-breathers. <br /><br />It isn't a pleasant thought - but the last year really kind of put a spotlight on how incompetent, incapable and irrational most of society is. </p>
<p>It certainly creates a hassle and dilemma for the rest of us - having to figure out how to avoid being limited in our personal freedoms and potential by the slowest ships in the fleet - when most of the fleet is paddleboats. <br /><br />But I've certainly come to understand how someone could come to have contempt for the mass of humanity as a whole. </p>

<p>I suspect the Government often works through corporations to release advancements like this - BECAUSE of the nature of human reaction to Government with distrust but to companies, especially trusted ones, with blind allegiance. <br /><br />If some Government lab released this discovery, people would turn it down for free. <br /><br />But if it was an Apple branded product that worked with your iDevice, there would be lines around the Apple store waiting to pay a premium for it. </p>

<p>I figured it wasn't real... but I was interested in the reaction to it. <br /><br />Lots of good things have actually come from government thinktanks and labs. I agree that there have been lots of abuses - but corporations are just as guilty of unethical behavior as Government. <br /><br />For every Tuskagee Experiment you can name I can find a "Yeah, big tobacco knew it was addictive, knew it was deadly, genetically engineered it to be MORE addictive, *and* marketed it to kids." <br /><br />But that doesn't mean EVERY government program has been insidious, or that every Corporation is out to get kids hooked as the previous generation dies early from complications related to the addiction to the product. <br /><br />These are really just simple logic tests. "If All As are Bs and Some Cs are Bs then All Bs must be..." <br /><br /><br />The whole eagerness to believe that <br /><br />A: The Government has developed a microchip capable of detecting Covid in the bloodstream<br /><br />B: That this is re

 Yeah, you're not wrong. There were several articles that read like they were
copypasta'd from the same poorly-written source, which was lightly sourced
and seemed to come from some guy who was smoking pot and kinda half-paying-attention
during the original 60 Minutes broadcast.

<p>And yes, that is being paranoid, but you do NOT trust your government or their motives. Ever.  </p>

<p>The thing is... where *does* this stuff come from? Who gets together a bunch of dudes this age and presents something like this, films it, and distributes it. That is pretty coordinated. <br /><br />I got the vaccine too. I keep waiting for everything Loanshark says to suddenly start making sense to me and all of the rest of you to start sounding like hopeless deplorables who need to be stopped before you ruin the world. <br /><br />I kind of welcome assimilation at this point. It gots to be easier. </p>

 It's a thing.  We can safely ignore those people.  They also use non-words
like "Consensus (TM)" and "Racism (TM)".

 Statistics. It's a really big family. My dad was one of 11 kids.   
  
  
 I have 35 first cousins and uncountable second/removed cousins.

<p>I've been keeping quiet, but my wife had hers, Pfizer, about 6 weeks ago, mine is coming up on 3 weeks. <br /><br />No reactions. What I am hearing is that 2nd dose is the one that usually has complications, and that after 3 weeks, first shot gives about 80% efficacy. <br /><br />I'll still probably follow up with second shot. In for a penny, in for a pound. <br /><br />I've also never had a reaction except to a barium injection for a CatScan that gave me some mild hives. </p>

 What makes it natural is not being grown in an underground sinister laboratory
in which Gate's slaves try to turn plastic into beef.

 I'm quite relived that didn't happen this time, because 'feeling like I have
it again' for me, would mean a return of the acute moodiness/short-term depression
that lingered into last April/May for me (in fits and starts, it wasn't a
constnat thing, but it seemed like a post-viral inflammatory syndrome.)

 Yikes. Yep. 
  
 Later into yesterday and into today I've got a bit of soreness in the shoulder
around the injection site, but that's pretty mild and the only issue I've
had. I was braced for something a bit worse, given my prior history with covid.
One of my high school classmates is a nurse, had covid in the summer, and
then got the vaccine and reported that is "feels like I have covid again."

 Lucky you.   
  
 I have had horses develop very bad reactions to certain vaccines, which is
the reason why I am sort of carful what I vaccinate them against. If you have
a horse that is not going to be able to eat for some days because of some
vaccine, and the vaccine is not covering for something actually dangerous,
I think it is not worth it.

 nobody knows. but the variant in brazil infected many who had already recovered

 I'm getting my first shot at 10am tomorrow because I believe the most like

 I am sorry for your loss.   
  
 Do you know if the vacciness are any good across different strains? SOmething
I suspect is that they are going to have everybody vaccinated, call it a victory,
and then everybody will be infected by a different strain not covered by the
vaccine.

<p>Hi - I've been away for a while, and I didn't have the energy to read everything here.<br />I'm one of 5 siblings. All of us and our spouses have had both doses of Pfizer, as have my parents and my aunt (all 3 70+) <br /><br />Most of my friends have also had the vaccine. I live online, and spend way too much time on various groups.<br /><br />So - I'm in touch with maybe 1500+ people who've been vaccinated. <br /><br />A lot had arm pain, fatigue, and flu-like symptoms for up to 4 days post-vaccine. </p>
<p>A few people mentioned palpitations, including two who got some kind of medication to bring their heart rate back into normal range - one of whom mentioned that her doctor believed it was an allergic reaction and had her take an antihistamine at the time of the second shot, and she had no further issues. <br /><br />One woman had a crazy reaction of numbness in arm and leg on one side. Sensation has mostly come back, but it took 6 weeks or so. She had the reaction after the first dose, and did not have any reaction to the second dose. <br /><br /><br />In the meantime, the closest thing I had to an uncle was in NYC, went to donate blood (he was feeling completely fine), and contracted Coronavirus a little less than 3 weeks ago. His memorial service was yesterday. I made a shiva call to his daughter today. She was unable to fly to the US for his memorial service. <br /><br />I'll take the vaccine. thanks.</p>

 Seems like they're going to have to start giving tiered approvals, so they

<p>New York state has many problems with vaccine distribution, but don't blame Mario Cuomo, he is not to blame.*<br />NY state has had problems with people in one region making appointments in other regions and traveling outside their region to get the vaccine.  If you really want a vaccine NOW, you can see if there are appointments on LI or in northern Westchester County.</p>

 Mother, Should I Trust the Government? 
  
 My girlfriend works at a hospital in NYC. She's been hearing through the
grapevine that the city/state (same thing) is planning to redirect vaccine
supply from hospitals to the city/state run vaccination sites, such as Javits
Center. Supply is very tight right now, and we're hearing about hospital(s)
that have had to cancel vaccination appointments, including second shots for
health care workers. 
  
 Which leads to an interesting question: if I want to get vaccinated (and
I am now eligible due to NYS' expanded list of comorbidities), should I trust
the government-run sites to deliver as promised, or the hospital-run sites?
;-)

<p>My wife, who is one degree of Bacon from me, got both doses, and had no side effects. Wait. Her arm was sore. <br /><br />The other thing - It works by the nature of the "Sky Is Falling," rhetoric coming from those who want to keep the fear cycle of this disease at peak efficiency, IG. <br /><br /><br />Notice how the official Uncensored voice of All the WORST news about the virus is TRUE and all the BEST news about the virus is FALSE went, "Hey, wait a minute there, you're going too far..." above in response to my post? <br /><br /><br />If everything continues to happen according to the worst case scenarios of those who delight in the idea that the virus REQUIRES us to live the rest of eternity in perpetual fear while submitting ourselves to the unquestioned authority of a particular Governing ideology and philosophy - it doesn't matter - because it is <em>game over</em> for humanity. <br /><br /><br />Something will cause our extinction eventually, and it could be a virus that we just can't mutate

 Bad but probably not long-term harmful. The shot is supposed to cause your
immune system to flare up. The side-effects mean its working. They are temporary.

<p>Sure, it sucks when its you being evolved out of the pool, but Its just how nature works and how things advance.  All our medical meddling of late has upset the balance, this might reset it.</p>

<p>There are probably naturally immune humans we haven't discovered yet - and it is likely we'll just see an evolution of humanity that is immune, or for whom the effects are ALWAYS mild and cold like. But for MOST of us - Covid has already punched our ticket, if we know it or not - in the worst case scenario.<br /><br />I've been telling people since the start - THAT is what NATURAL herd immunity looks like. Africans with sickle-cell malaria were the only ones who survived to breed in malaria infested parts of Africa - until all Africans born in those areas had sickle cell anemia. You couldn't survive without it. <br /><br />There is probably something like that for Covid-19. But... the rest of us - we're the Africans *without* the sickle cell mutation that confers immunity to malaria. </p>

 I'm rambling, perhaps a bit too much, about Antibody-Dependent Enhancement.

  
 I feel like vaccine efficacy is a crucial part of vaccine safety. Here's
the thing: non-neutralizing, or weakly/poorly neutralizing antibodies can
actually make disease worse. 
  
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibody-dependent_enhancement 
  
 Although ADE may be the primary risk of vaccines, it is also perhaps a *greater*
risk of natural infection. Most of the evidence to date seems to lean towards
the idea that natural infection is not as protective as the Moderna or Pfizer
products. 
  
 SARS-CoV-2 spike protein has multiple epitopes that can be the target of
neutralizing antibodies, not all of which are on the RBD (this is documented
fact now.) So while mutation may help the virus evade some antibodies, it
is unlikely to fully escape all of them at least for the time being. 
  
 tl;dr: you're better off getting Pfizered or Moderna'd than getting SARS-CoV-2'd

 I think I'm missing something here, because that seems obvious.  Pathogen
mutates into a treatment-resistant form, doesn't that happen all the time?

 my dad should have had his first vaccine shot a couple days ago. last I heard,
he had an appointment set up. 
  
 I would gladly take the pfizer or moderna products, based on the information
that's currently out there and so long as the situation does not change for
the worse. I find the J&J results, just announced to be a bit of cause for
concern. Anything that is not the most effective seems, to me, to carry and
elevated risk of antibody-dependent enhancement, and the South Africa results
for J&J's product seem to confirm the potential for partial immune evasion
with mutated variants, which increases the risk of ADE. 
  
 Related - Merck's vaccine project was a failure. They abandoned it. But Merck
has a couple of other investigational drugs, one of which sounds promising
and the other one is just an unknown at this point. 
  
 Unrelated - my girlfriend had her second vaccine shot,
and some minor local reaction and itchiness, and maybe a bit of mild fatigue
ensued. But all is well on our home front.

<p>I have heard more than once that there is a single supplier in the US that is legally allowed to take the leaves and remove all the bad stuff.  And that coca-cola still uses the 'cleaned' leaf extract. Hard to say if its true or not in this day of synthetic everything, with the 'secret recipe ' and all.</p>

<p>Agreed. At 85% efficiency - distribute first doses to everyone first, then once that is taken care of, circle back and do second doses. The only people who should be priority second dose before 2nd round should be those in immediate health risk of having severe complications if the 85% isn't good enough - because face it, 99ish of those getting vaccinated would not develop severe complications even without the vaccine. </p>

<p>Interesting. I was asking my wife about this last night, and she had no clue. Good to know. <br /><br />There is also a single dose vaccine out there, and two different two dose vaccines, I guess. <br /><br />Unfortunately, my wife has become a Biden supporter and heavy Democrat donor since taking the vaccine, and refers to me as "The anti-Democracy terrorist" all of the sudden. </p>

<p>This video made me realize a few things about the vaccine's distribution. I thought two doses were required for the vaccine to work at all. According to this video the first dose give a protection rate of 85%, the second dose increases it to 95%.  In the video they argue that giving more of the population first doses will help reduce infections and save more lives than giving fewer people two doses. </p>
<p>Give as many first doses as possible, wait until production catches up and then give second doses. </p>

<p>Yeah, but I think the assumption in California is that if you want a flavored coke, you would ask for that specifically. <br /><br />If you ask for a "coke" on the West Coast - you're going to get a straight coke. You're going to get regular coke. <br /><br />Which makes me think... a coke, a "real-sugar coke," and a "Mexican coke" are three specifically different things. If you want either of the former two and you ask for the first one, you're going to get the first one. <br /><br />And of course, then there is "a Mexican coke," and "Mexican coke." Which are also two different things. </p>

<p>This video made me realize a few things about the vaccine's distribution. I thought two doses were required for the vaccine to work at all. According to this video the first dose give a protection rate of 85%, the second dose increases it to 95%.  In the video they argue that giving more of the population first doses will help reduce infections and save more lives than giving fewer people two doses. </p>
<p>Give as many first doses as possible, wait until production catches up and then give second doses. </p>

<p>I figured out side was a regional variation of "out sick". <br /><br />In Ohio, he "called off..." <br /><br />Kind of like the first time someone asked me, "are you going to come with?" <br /><br />"Uh... come with what?" </p>

 a coworker has had covid for the past week or so, not sure exactly how long
or how severe but it was mild at first and he was still working remotely.
now we're being told to consider him out side for the time being... 
  
 most of us work from home (although some kind of temporary office or coworking
space has been made available to those who want to take the risk) so it sounds
like he caught it from hanging out with a friend.

<p>Yes, the testing is free... provided it meets the criteria for the free test.</p>

 Sounds like it very much depends on which state you live in. NY, testing
is free but there can be some gatekeeping depending on what provider you use.

  
 Since March 19, I have had 4 PCR tests (that I can *remember*), one rapid
test, two antibody tests. One of those was required by a health care provider
prior to surgery. One of the antibody tests was to qualify me to donate convalescent
plasma. Might have had a 5th PCR test along with the other antibody test,
but can't remember. 
  
 Some providers, like urgent care clinics, do ask a few very simple questions
that might be eligibility questions, but I usually had pretty good justification
for a test, so that was always just one quick question. NYC's public hospital
system encourages *everyone* to get tested on occasion, regardless of symptom
status, so although they ask about symptoms an exposure, a "no" answer does
not disqualify
you from a test, but they may refuse to re-test you if you start showing up
for a test too frequently. Their capacity IS limited. In general, the testing
situation appears to have improved quite a bit.[1~[2~[1~[2~/[1~[2~[1~[2~t,
especially with the rapid tests.

<p>Have you been exposed to a known infectious individual? <br />Do you have symptoms? <br /><br />These will, I think generally qualify you as medically necessary. <br /><br />If it is just to assess health status - as stated - then you've got to pay out of pocket. <br /><br />We may have paid out of pocket. </p>

<p>I have been really bad about that this week.  My normal DailyDriver is getting a rear main seal replaced and went in last Thursday ( I can do it, i just dont feel like dealing with it mid-winter ) so driving another car.  The DD normally has the mask already there. So several trips i have ended up mask-less and no one batted an eye.  Took me several days just to remember to put a mask in the car.  Just in time to get the other one back later today :)  </p>
<p>Not that it would normally the shop a week +, but they were short handed so i told them to take care of customers that only had one car and are in a bind before me. I can wait.</p>

 that's in question at the moment. I saw an additional study fly by (not as
many people involved as the Pfizer post-hoc analysis...)  
  
 results where very good though, it was observational study of healthcare
workers, maybe ~10,000 uninfected and ~1,000 previously infected? zero reinfections
in the previously-infected arm. 2.x% infected in the other arm. 
  
 Pfizer data was different. Nonzero reinfections. Seems to me that you get
more accurate odds ratios that way...

 clearly it did. If the common ancestor dates to Oct19 using the standard
models, however, that points to Oct19 as the date that it jumped species.

of "both sides." 
  
 His comment: "Interesting preprint, which raises more questions than it solves.
In particular, why did it take >1 year for more transmissible lineages to
evolve? Those mutations have been around for many months (E484K was first
observed in March and N501Y in April). 
  
 The original comment: "While the single 501Y mutations causes a ~2.5x higher
affinity to Ace2, the double mutation results in a ~13x higher affinity to
Ace2 compared to the WT version. https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.06.425392v1.full.pdf

 I have prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension. Fluctuate above and below
(mostly above tbh) the 140/90 mark, but not on meds. 
  
 Thing is, the virus goes straight for ACE2 receptors and with all these findings--well
I'm sure you've read them, no need for me to recap. I did have some BP spikes
and tachycardia. My friend from the PDX area who I mentioned, was having continued
BP spikes a couple months after recovery. That was why I said to him, "I think
it was covid."

<p>I know of perhaps 10 people that have had it personally. ( not friend of a friend sort of event but real people i really have talked to or witnessed )</p>
<p>2 went into ICU due to other major conditions. In their case i suspect any illness would have pushed them over the edge. They were a disaster just waiting to happen. One of them drug it out and refused to go get help when he first got sick. Could have avoided ICU that way i would imagine.</p>
<p>1 also went to ICU within a couple of days of falling ill. i dont think he had anything underlying. After ventilator for a week, then drugs and stuff for perhaps 3, he was back to normal. Other than being weak from being in bed so long of course.   Month later, never even knew it happened. This back in march, during the height of 'wtf is going on'</p>
<p>The rest were like me and wife, felt like poo for a couple of weeks then got on with life.</p>

<p>This one is different. I've had a few really bad fews, and also had adult Chicken Pox at 45. Swam through all of them. <br /><br />This one... I think *I* should be careful. I've got a pre-existing condition that seems very vulnerable to the way *this* virus attacks. I think we need more *honesty*. I should be afraid. You probably shoulnd't. Wouldn't that be better? But instead, they use fear as a political wedge and leverage. So you don't know, and I don't, either. Because if you and I get it and you live and I die, that is fuel for their political fire. </p>

<br />Right.

Which initially, people thought that couldn't have been covid because of the timing. It was brutal for him. I spoke to him a little about some symptom details details afterward, and I do think it was covid. He had to get on a plane to go see his sick parents. Me: "It was covid. You're immune.

<p>They live in South Carolina, which doesn't have a mask mandate and seemed very relaxed about the issue.  No one seemed to be worried about it.</p>
<p>He caught it from one of his employees, that person tested positive but came to work, wearing a mask. He didn't stay long, he needed to pick something up.  The employee only had minor symptoms.</p>
<p>No one seemed to be worried about spreading it, no one seemed to be worried about contracting it.  (until they did)</p>
<p>When my niece was giving birth to her daughter in May, she had friends take care of her two other children.  It wasn't as if they were social distancing or worried about spreading it.  Her husband was the only one allowed into the hospital, one visitor only.</p>

<p>Ironically, except for work we pretty much live like this anyway. Not a fan of people, so we rarely go out to 'do stuff', beyond shopping for food and stuff.  Walk or drive to the park and such, but its just me and a dog, not a flesh and germ party or something.</p>
<p>No one ever comes visit here either. But that is normal for us. Perhaps visit family a couple times a year. </p>
<p>For me, working from home 100% is a great thing and not really a 'hardship' like its is for some and a good thing. ( and i'm still working, i realize some are not anymore, that is different ). It used to be ~25% until march of last year so other than the duration and volume ( from a few thousand to nearly 50000 ), so not a new concept for our office either. Even at the office, in our department, most of us keep to our selves most of the time.  Of course there is interaction, but i doubt as much as many offices. Other than project meetings, most of us have 'stuff' to do that is between us and the terminal.  Most of our communication is via email or my ticketing system.</p>

<p>Just like regular flu or common cold. or most any other ailment. People react differently. </p>
<p>The fact that the % of severe reactions is so low, goes to show you about the overreaction that has been forced upon us.   Sure, dont be stupid and use some common sense, just like you should due during a normal flu season anyway, but you dont hide in your house in fear and shut down the world.  Will we lose a few people anyway? ya, but we do that with everything else too. Its just part of life, there are no guarantees.</p>

<p>And it also divided the public and created the damn "Do nothing" crowd who were still having huge parties and going clubbing and engaging in hookups. They made young people feel immune at the start, too. That was a mistake. Tell the most social group in society, "You'll probably be fine," when they don't really see beyond their own sense of immortality. If we were going to lie to ANYONE to scare them, maybe teens and young adults is where we should have started. <br /><br />"It'll make your pecker shrivel up and you'll start voting conservative and laughing at your dad's jokes." <br /><br /></p>

<p>I think the problem is there are entire circles of people who - everyone they know came out on the other side going, "It isn't even as bad as a cold," and some of them should, by media accounts, be dead. <br /><br />Then there are people who know people who by media accounts, should have died, who did die. <br /><br />And then there is another group, who almost everyone they know came out going, "It isn't even as bad as a cold," until ONE of them, who should have been fine, ended up on a ventilator in ICU or dead. <br /><br />And that creates a lot of confusion - and the media should have addressed that more honestly, sooner - but they didn't, because they were complicit in politicizing it because they despised the particular man in the Oval Office at the time it hit. <br /><br />If it had been a Democrat President in office when Covid arrived, we would all be<br /><br />A: Better Informed<br /><br />B: Less freaked out. <br /><br />I truly believe this - and it is the biggest crime politicians have perpe

an umm "friend"'s house, or had her in my car for extended periods, a handful
of times over the summer. She takes some precautions, not as many as I do,
gets tested a lot. We try to do what makes sense. What boggles my mind is
the do-nothing-about-it crowd. We take all the precautions we can bear to
take. That's about how to sum it up.

 Truthfully, we take a lot of precautions here. But we try to balance that
with living our lives. Lockdown fatigue is a very real thing,
even among those of us who are very committed to working from home for as
long it takes.   
    
 I've been working from home since March. As you recall, I got sick in March,
coincidentally symptoms started to get scary bad on March 12 which was the
very day before NY's PAUSE order. And it was really scary for me although
my SpO2 stayed in the high 90s for the most part, I was very fatigued, and
delirious at times, and having problems with blood pressure and tachycardia,
and just generally miserable and terrified.   
    
 Even if I was immune as a result, we didn't now that for sure, it took a
long while to fully recover, and there was no way I was going to subject myself
to that experience again... and I was going to try to do my part to stop transmission...
so really, working from home was a no-brainer.   
  
  
 So since March I can count, on the fingers of one hand, the numbers of times
I have been inside a building (other than my own home) for longer than it
takes to go to the grocery store or buy a few things at Home Depot. And those
places are pretty safe, I think. But we like to go a restaurant with a nice
patio, and a few times our discipline broke down when the patio wasn't offered
to us and sat inside. 
  
 We think that's probably where my girlfriend got covid last month--1 hour
in a restaurant full of plexiglass dividers and with really quite few other
people nearby. She works from home as much as possible, but is required to
go into the office 1 or sometimes 2 days a week. Her team rotates who has
to go in. 
  
 So what I'm saying, in a long winded sort of way, are a couple different
things: 
 (1) I've said in past messages that in some cases the virus can be surprisingly
hard to transmit 
 (2) In other cases, surprisingly easy--1 hour in a restaurant? She hadn't
been to the office for almost a week prior, so this is the only exposure where
the timing makes a lot of sense. 
 (3) I think it would take a superhuman effort for anyone to isolate well
enough to avoid the virus entirely, for themselves. Eventually, most people
will slip up. (My elderly mom is talking about going back to work part time,
during tax season. Gah.) Everyone's going to get exposed to this eventually,
but if enough people work to "flatten the curve" -- I'm fine with that. 
  
 we need that vaccine yesterday.

<p>I'd agree with that. <br /><br />I think a lot of people mean the same thing by "Covid is a hoax," that they mean by "Global climate change is a hoax." <br /><br />It is like the two sides speak two different languages. <br /><br />The hoax isn't the thing itself, it is how partisan interests manipulate the thing to their agenda that is the hoax. But no matter how much you clarify what you meant, the other side insists, "You are a science denier! You think God will just magically fix it! You are a superstitious deplorable!" </p>

 Agreed.     
    
 There is a lot people claiming that the response to the virus in their respective
country has been overdone, when considering the actual health threat it is,
but I have not personally met anybody who thinks the virus does not exist.
  
  
 I am sure there are some, but it is not a widespread opinion.

 True enough. My other friend, (a skiing buddy), has a son who is diametretically
opposite politically. 
  
 The son calls it a hoax... then turns around and tries to "clarify" that
it's, umm, err, some kind of semi-hoax... and continues on with the various
forms of disinformation. His facebook page read very very angry for a while.

 My aunt and her husband tested positive... they're probably in their late
60s or 70s. Who knows what underlying conditions. 
  
 And I'm not even supposed to say anything to most of the *other* aunts/uncles
on that side of the family, because there's a few people who think it's all
a hoax, and there's some bad blood. The disinformation machine is tearing
the family apart.

<p>Pretty sure we had it in early February. I was in/out of doctors and hospitals several times over a 2 week period  ( kidney stone, worst yet ).  Soon after i had the strangest flu i have ever had. lasted right at 2 weeks. Wife also caught it, but with different symptoms. but also 'really odd' ones.</p>
<p>Might be coincidence, might not be. Not been tested for antibodies as my doctor denies its possible so wont write up a script " there is no way you had it then ". </p>

 Yeah. Sure. For many people it is mild.           
            
 My girlfriend is feeling better now. She had coldlike symptoms (cough, scratchy
throat) for a couple weeks and some loss of smell/taste -- not as bad as our
friend who *compltely* lost her sense of smell, just a mild impairment that
she is hoping will come back because things don't taste quite the way they
used to.           
            
 So I was pretty extensively exposed to her a couple weeks ago, obviously
(we live together) and I didn't have anything that I could definitely say
were symptoms. Maybe I've got some immunity from when I was infected last
March. I sure hope so; I was in the significant minority of people who lose
antibodies quickly during convalescence. (See above article; there is some
speculation that such people may be taking an alternate path to create less-specific
antibodies.)          

            
 Also seems like it can be hard to transmit, in individual cases; I don't
know of anyone at the office who definitely caught it from me in March, and
my girlfriend also seemed unaffected at the time, which is somewhat surprising
considering how much time she was exposed to me.           
            
 I guess the key word here is heterogeneity: both in terms of severity of
the symptoms, and who is responsible for most transmission events. It a significant
minority of ppl who have the worst symptoms, and a significant minority of
people who cause the most transmission.           
          
          
 My girlfriend just got her first dost of the Pfizer vaccine today. No side-effects
so far.         
          
 My dad, on the other hand... he's 71 AND overweight AND has cardiovascular
disease (had a heart attack something like 7 years ago.)         
          
 From the studies
I read:         
 * risk scales exponentially with age, and being in the 70-74 age bracket,
by itself, would put his death risk well north of 1%         
        
  (I was having trouble reading the log-scaled graph, so let's say 2.5-5%
with some big error bars)       
 * having CVD, by itself, puts his risk of death above 10%       
      
 * overweight if not obese - also a factor.     
      
 I haven't found any modelling yet, but it's entirely plausible that his risk
could be in the 20-50% range, and we know it's not less than 10%. These are
not acceptable odds so they're staying home.     
    
    
 My high school classmade who is a nurse, and had covid this summer, did had
some vaccine side-effects last week. For a day or so it made her feel a bit
like she had covid again. I think I know what she means, because she and I
had similar fatigue/depression responses to our primary infection.
Some of that is inflammatory, I believe. So this stuff is to be expected in
some people on vaccination.   
  
  
 Based on what I think were post-covid inflammatory responses that I had from
virus itself, I would not be surprised to experience a day or so of acute
depression (or just cognitive weirdness and moodiness) if and when I eventually
take the jab.

<p>So, in the past 3 weeks I've been exposed to Covid-19, for relatively length times, indoors, without masks, by 3 different people. <br /><br />The last time I had a bad flu was after Thanksgiving, 2019. It was a weird sickness - I was tired... dog tired, I slept a bunch. I had an unproductive cough. I used Nyquil to allow me to breath at night - the first time I've used Nyquil, or any kind of medicine with an antihistamine decongestant since then, actually. I lived on tylenol. I ran a fever. I had no nausea, no aches. I do not recall if my taste or sense of smell diminished - I mean, that is a common side effect of any flu or cold, really. <br /><br />But it would be *way* early for the initial timeline. But I am on the West Coast - and lots of people have similar stories. My wife, who travels back and forth to L.A. for work, heavily at that time, once a week - came down sick shortly after me - also a kick ass flu. Our daughter never got whatever it was we had. My neighbor said that a cluster went aroun

 https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/some-covid-19-patients-lack-key-structures-for-antibody-creation-67868

  
 Article raises some questions about immune memory formation, particularly

 Study link: Ultrasensitive high-resolution profiling of early seroconversion
in patients with COVID-19 
  
 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41551-020-00611-x 
  
 My attention is drawn to Fig. 2. Briefly, natural infection leads to 10x
more antibody to N protein than to S protein. 
  
 anti-N is never neutralizing because the N protein is encapsulated inside
the envelope protein. How much time and effort does your body spend/waste
on developing those? 
  
 So, immune profile in response to vaccination, particularly from Moderna
and Pfizer products, is going to be very different than natural infection.
Does different mean better or worse?

<p>So, in addition to having a bias: I lean right... <br /><br />I'm also kinda a dick. I have this little saying I've come up with - if you show up in a room, and everyone in the room agrees you are an asshole, you may just be in a room full of assholes. <br /><br />If EVERY room you show up in, every person in that room comes to agree that you're an asshole - they're probably <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><em>not</em></strong></span> the assholes. <br /><br />That is a personal observation - but I bet it applies to more members of the BBS than just I. That might be the FIRST actual ad hominem I've actually used in this conversation. It is subtle, witty, and polite as well. <br /><br />I think we've beaten the horse of what your perception of me is, and what my perception of you is. It is also entirely possible that we're BOTH right about the other. I am certain neither of us has changed the mind of the other - and it seems pointless to go on. <br /><br />That is about as far back a

 That's an in vivo vs in vitro problem. The IC50 was measured in vitro, but
it corresponds to a crazy dose in vivo...   
    
 In vivo there are a lot of other things going on. The immune system is helping
with the fight. Then you think about delivery systems (IV? tablet? topical?
buccal? nasal spray?)   
    
 A lot of the studies that I found were positive. [1;      Some even found
overwhelming statistical significance. But still... there are some things
that don't add up.   
  
  
 When you find statistical significance, you only know one thing: something
happened that cannot be explained by randomness. So then what is the actual
explanation?

 Thanks for a pretty constructive post. I'm just going to quote this one part
of it. The rest I think is constructive. 
  
 (a) You're pretty goddamn biased. 
 (b) If you read back weeks and weeks in this room, I was actually pretty
explicit about what you're getting at here. There are two things going on.
One, an organized disinformation campaign that I object to. Two, a tendency
on the right to underestimate/minimize/ignore the risks, even to the point
of trafficking in disinformation. 
  
 Your bias? You think in terms of "only liberals believe that." And there's
a legitimate tendency
to point out the uncertainties in predictive forecasting (predictions are
hard, especially when they're about the future) but that's also a form of
bias. 
  
 I could go on. You're biased. Everyone's biased. Deal with it. It's simply
not productive to attack people about it--except when it escalates to bad
faith.

 Nothing personal but you're kinda digging yourself deeper here.       
        
 You attack my bias because you're unable to attack the facts. That's called
"ad hominem."       
        
 Listen, here's the thing: you have something to contribute. You're polite--most
of the time (you did stoop to name calling, but I take it as        
   
 an
isolated incident.) You're capable of actively listening, at times. And it's
not even that I don't enjoy these conversations.   
  
  
 But over the past several weeks of back-and-forth with you, I have noticed
a very glaring pattern: let's say about 49% of what you're saying is personal
anecdote. Another 49% is ad hominem--and the ad hominem is not an isolated
incident, it's actually central to your whole thesis (and I'll explain what
I mean by that in a minute.) Like I said, you're mostly polite. Ad hominem
doesn't need to be impolite in order to be ad hominem: it just needs to be
a fallacious focus on the human aspects of the discussion, or attacks on somebody's
perceived bias or credibility, at the expense of the actual facts. 
  
 The typical pattern with you is this: somebody you disagree with posts an
article. You respond with either "only liberals believe that", or name-calling
rants
about nazis, or with some sort of attack on perceived credibility or bias.

  
 You have every right to discuss your personal perspective and bias. But everyone
has certain perspective and inherent bias, so that doesn't make them valid
as a point of attack, necessarily. 
  
 You've actually been extremely honest about your own personal perspective
bias, and that's a point in your favor. But it's still bias. 
  
 And you're still kinda being a dick. If you don't like the links I post,
it's easy for you to just scroll on by.

 Yeah but last time I talked to somebody who knew what he was talking about,
the dose at which invermectine is being "said" to affect the virus is the
same dose that screws you up big time.   
  
 I think it was Invermectine what we were talking about though. This conversation
was some time ago already.

 Zinc Gluconate has been prescribed for many purposes, including mitigating
hair loss. As it happens, it seems to improve your chances against the Chinesse
virus.   
  
 Vitamin D is just nice to have because lots of office people is severely
lacking it. They live like vampires and have no sun exposure.

we knew in early March, which was that the fatality rate was 3% and that it
was non-selective about who it infected.

<p>You know, you can take this as an attempt to derail the conversation into a personal attack on you... <br /><br /><br />Or, you can step outside yourself, and take a hard look at your approach, and maybe improve it. It is hard to focus on if your points are actually factual when your bias stands as such a giant distraction to whatever point you're trying to make. <br /><br /><br /><br /></p>

 Did I mention I broke my metatarsal and had surgery last month?   
  
  
 I had a childhood allergy to amoxicillin, and I'm told that means I should
avoid the entire penicillin family. And I made the surgical team aware of
that fact. They gave me IV clindamycin as a prophylactic in the OR. And prescribed
more clindamycin after the 1-week post-op checkup because I was looking infected.

  
 I got through about day 5-6 on clindamycin before I broke out in hives. 
 They switched me to azithromycin - yes, the infamous "Z pac" 
  
 Hard to tell what's what, but it seemed like I was allergic to that too.

  
 At this point, in my 42 year lifespan, the only antibiotic I've had (that
I know of; don't have detailed history on everything) that I WASN'T allergic
to was, I think, doxycycline. 
  
 ivermectin can be neurotoxic...

 My horses hate the flavoured invermectine pastes.     
    
 Now I am worried that we will do what we always do and abuse invermectine
until it generates resistences
are it is no longer useful. Invermectine and Prazycuentel are the last two
dewormers that reliabily work.

 You know, I have been recently notified that my organism is so fearsome in

 That is correct. The p-value isn't everything. In actual practice, advisory
panels sit around and argue about sources of biasness...       
      
      
 Karl and friends aren't getting traction with citing a small number of early
studies, no matter how statistically significant, to argue for an EUA or whatever...
because that isn't how science is done, really, at least not at this country's
FDA.      
      
 It's interesting what's happening with this drug in Latin America. A couple
countries have opened up access to it but it's flying off the shelves in panic
buying. Those countries were clear and explicit: "this is not proven effective.
You can use it anyway."      
      
 Now in those countries it's becoming difficult to study in a proper trial
because nobody can be recruited because they already bought it at
the pharmacy. I guess we'll see about effectiveness soon enough. Singapore
is running a 5000-person clinical trial.     
      
   
    
 A prophylactic that flies off the shelf in panic buying is no longer a prophylactic,
and is no longer available for its on-label use either. It is kinda reminiscent
of HCQ.   
  
  
 And the pharmacokinetics of this drug don't make sense. The IC50 in vitro
was 100x the heretofore accepted dose and looks like 10x a maximum plausible
safe dose. One trial at the normal dose found a lack of effectiveness. So.
Needs to be studied. 
  
 Call me an armchair epidemiologist if you want. I'm basically regurgitating
the red flags that FDA itself (among others) have raised.

reading more about the confounding factors of some of

<p>At the end of 2019 I was on a Hong Kong based meme website, they were posting pictures and stories about how China was dealing with the unnamed virus.  Most stories were how wonderful China was for quickly erecting hospitals in Wuhan China and how it was caring for its people.  I didn't think the rest of the world had any cases at the time.</p>
<p>Very early in the year before COVID-19 became a news story my niece who lives in South Carolina entire family became sick, sicker than they every had felt before.  After the fact we wondered if it was COVID-19.  About a month ago my niece's husband tested positive for COVID-19, he could barely get out of bed.  He was isolated in the spare bed and bathroom.  The rest of the family had some mild symptoms. </p>

<p>80-100% reduction in transmission among households is "might help a little"?</p>
<p>Let's assume it only does HALF that well - - 50%.</p>
<p>Since the CDC says that enough Rt is found in <em>households alone </em>to keep the pandemic going (Rt &gt; 1.0) <strong>if you only get half of the worst prophylaxis result in widescale use, <em>and no other benefit at all, </em>the entire pandemic collapses in five days.</strong></p>
<p>That's the math.</p>
<p>Oh, and since there's <em>no </em>record of signifcant adverse events <em>what's the risk?</em></p>
<p>In a pandemic <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>you must balance risks and benefits</strong></span><strong>.  </strong>The issue is <em><strong>not </strong></em>individual outcome; that's a personal benefit.  The <em>public health </em>issue is prophylaxis among household members <em>with a confirmed case in the house, </em>which is where the largest single vector is.</p>
<p>Cut it off and it's over.</p>
<p>That's why it will work -- it doesn't have to reach 80 or 100% effectiveness -- only 50% or <em>half the lowest found effectiveness in these studies for post-exposure prophylaxis.</em></p>

 I think what's happening here is this: there's a certain viewpoint (which
even tends to find support in places like Wall Street Journal opinion articles)
that says the FDA should get out of the way and let doctors prescribe what
they want. 
  
 Yeah, maybe, if most doctors wanted it that way? The doctors I'm hearing
from largely have a different view. They don't want it to be their job to
spend 100% of their time reading clinical studies and making up their own
mind when they already have to struggle through 80 hour work weeks. There
is simply a division of labor and it has to be somebody else's job to tell
them whether some drug is worth prescribing. They want a source of informaion
and analysis that they can trust. 
  
 Look, right now, we have the system that we have and we're not going to change
it radically in the middle of a pandemic. The FDA's evidentiary standards
have already been chipped-away-at over the past few years and that is the
way that change tends to happen.

 Check the credibility of the right-wingers in this very room before bash
my credibility in a borderline personal-attack sort of way.   
    
 Some of the arguments I'm seeing from people in this room are hypcritical
and anti-science. The hypocrisy stems from this: you guys will bend over backwards
to claim that vaccines that have been tested in 30,000 or 60,000 subjects
are "untested" while simultaneously shilling for relatively unproven treatments
that have been studied in, about the order of magnitude of 300 subjects. That,
dear friends, is garbage.   
    
  
  
 I do not believe, on the basis of the data I'm seeing presented
here, and I just read *all* the studies I could find on the subject, that
a strong case for game-changing effectiveness has been made for this treatment.
Such a case *has* been made for vaccines, and you guys are going to have to
get that through your heads sooner or later becuase it's simply the truth.

 You're just misquoting me here. This thing needs to be studied more, that's
all, because the level of evidence currently does not support even Emergency
Use Authorization. The data does all slightly lean towards "might be effective",
but that's as good as it gets right now. The statement nonservator made about
how we don't need a vaccine if we have something like this is an example of
the Dunning-Kruger effect in action. 
  
 It's quite clear to me that you guys just don't know how the FDA approval
process works. These treatments can still be tried, in the context of a study.
Until there is enough evidence, there
won't be EUA. That's all there is to it. There are FAQ pages up on fda.gov
that explain all this. Rest assured that the FDA staff are looking at all
this data and would have issued an EUA if the data had accumulated to that

 As you know, the cold storage requirements for the Pfizer vaccine in particular,
and also to a lesser extent the Moderna vax, aren't such a problem for the
flu vaccine. So why combine them when it sorts causes logistical problems
    
    
    
 AstraZeneca/Oxford and others are a different animal. I don't know anything
about that. It has been done before with MMR.   
  
  
 You're probably talking about something that would apply years down the line
when all of this is more refined.

that this is not practical?

<p>Just low carb did it for me. Dropped from a lifetime high of 209 down to 175, and my cholesterol and thyroid both started behaving. <br /><br />Wasn't even Keto. <br /><br />I did exercise more. <br /><br />Father-In-Law hasn't had a fever for a few days. Looks like they're through it. Thank God. <br /><br />Kind of wish I had caught it, so I could be done with it, with my mild heart condition. Would be ironic if I was the only one in the family so far that it killed, after it has affected people in apparently far worse health than me, and I've spent a lifetime cheating death through misadventure and bad... bad... choices. </p>
<p><br />But... also a little poetic. <br /><br /></p>

<p>Yeah, I had been very worried about him getting it. Not an event I'm in any big hurry to attend - that guy's passing. <br /><br />So his fever broke yesterday. Hopefully that means we're out of the woods with them. Glad they got diagnosed and on treatment quickly. </p>

Little yappy dog that lives until he is so old he looks like Yoda's grandpa. <br />I know it. <br /><br />But, at some point, it started catching up with me. I had to cut out the sugar drinks. Cut way back on the carbs... actually exercise. But also... eating less than I'm burning. I could eat anything. Processed food, junk, healthy food, it didn't matter. When I was getting "ripped" in my 20's - and I *was* yoked enough that other dudes who lifted "recognized," even though I never really bulked up - I'd buy two pizzas for $9.99 or 4 Big Macs when you would buy 1 get 1 free, and slam them after working out, and they went right to muscle - but - I was actually still eating LESS than my daily caloric requirement, or slightly more. Not *enough* more - which is why I stayed lean, probably. If I was eating a 3500 calorie a day diet, I was burning 3300. <br /><br />But then I got older, an

 As a sufferer of hypercholesterolemia, I beg to differ.   (And I'd rather
discuss nutrition today, it's better than listening to political punditry
masquerading as epidemiology.) 
  
 Yes, it was not too long ago that The Settled Science (tm) was that dietary
cholesterol directly impacted serum cholesterol, especially if it was from
sources of saturated fat such as meat.  That isn't the Consensus (tm) anymore.

  
 My own experience confirms this.  Dietary changes didn't impact my serum
cholesterol one bit.  My doctor told me that they don't really look at that
anymore, that even a diet high in processed carbs will still raise your serum
cholesterol if you're prone to it.  Serum cholesterol is the cholesterol
produced by your own body, not the absorbed cholesterol from your diet. 
  
 It's like pretty much EVERYTHING else when it comes to nutrition: eat clean,
minimally processed foods, drink lots of water, and burn more calories than
you consume.  As noted earlier, I still believe in the "Square Meal" -- call
me old fashioned but it WORKS. 
  
 Some 10-15 years ago I switched to drinking water with my afternoon and evening
meals instead of a sugary beverage.  That change alone had a better impact
on my serum cholesterol than any of the changes I'd previously been trying
to make with animal fat.

<p>Similar. I feel kind of shaky and unsettled when I wake in the morning - generally lacking energy. This morning was rough. Have kind of a dry, itchy, unproductive cough today. Got tested yesterday. Should know by Monday. If this is the worst of it, I'd be fine with getting it over and losing 14 days pay. That won't be pleasant - but it seems like an investment. <br /><br />I worry that this won't be the worst of it, and I'm worried about the rest of ParanoidDelusions, Inc. Chandler Office too. <br /><br />It is one of those things - you wanna rip the band aid off and get it over with, because it seems pretty inevitable - but maybe if you wait long enough, it'll just float away in the pool and you won't even notice it is gone. </p>

 Red meat is good for you.  It's rich in protein and iron and other things
you NEED to be a Big Strong Human (tm). 
  
 Yeah, eating a ton of fatty meat is going to make you a Big Fat Fuck (tm)
but cutting out red meat completely is going to make you a weakling. 
  
 Remember that old reliable standby: The Square Meal?  The four food groups!
 It made sense when it was first published and it still makes sense today.
 Later revisions such as "the food pyramid" and the "myPlate" model are motivated
more by industrial and political models than by food science. 
   
 Three Squares a day, eat minimally processed food when you can, don't overdo
it on anything, drink plenty of water, and get some exercise.  It really is
that simple.

 Here at Awesome Acre we're all feeling a bit under the weather.  I know when
I'm fighting off sickness because I generally don't "get sick" but just have
a general malaise, a low-grade headache and lack of energy.  It feels like
I am a Federation starship and I am "diverting all energy to shields".  It's
been like that most of the week and I punched out of work a couple of times
to rest.  My wife has been a little worse, but still no "respiratory" symptoms.
 We had a video call with our doctor on Thursday and she sent us in for plague
testing on Friday.  Results will be here in a few days. 
  
 I'm really thinking -- and as a disclaimer, this is my own non-scientific
casual observation -- that some people just seem to be genetically more vulnerable
to bad symptoms, regardless of their age or co-morbidity or anything else.
 We have some relatives in Pennsylvania who are both positive,
they're the same age and roughly in similar health, were probably exposed
at the same time and level; one just feels kind of gross and the other is
in the hospital with pneumonia. 
  
 So I kind of feel as if a positive test would be a good outcome for me IF
AND ONLY IF this is the worst my symptoms get.

<p>I guess that killed the mood. So far, no fevers here, but my wife and I are all feeling all kinds of phantom symptoms that could be imagination or could be an issue. Food hasn't tasted right. I can still smell, and still taste - but everything tastes a little bland - although things like pickles... sour tastes are really sticking out. But again - that might just be my imagination. <br /><br />I don't know... I think this is day 3 since we found out. Tomorrow are the tests. <br /><br />I called the vape store, because I'm running low on vape juice, and explained to the woman my issue. I asked if I paid over the phone if she would bring out some juice and drop it in my trunk. She couldn't run my card, so I drove up, gave her the card (sanitized, while wearing latex gloves and a mask) she ran inside, ran it, then brought it all back in a plastic bag for me. <br /><br />It is weird, the things people will do for other people. </p>

<p>I've got nothing against your diet. And I think that reducing carbs is a good idea - and grains are not really a natural part of our diet. They're the original highly processed food. <br /><br />And I eventually adjusted to the Keto diet. I just didn't like the alternatives. I like grains. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are a lot of other unhealthy habits that I am not going to give up that I should probably worry about more than my pasta. But who knows, maybe the grains are the root of every other problem - and the heroin wouldn't be such a problem if I wasn't washing it down with a Double Double. </p>

<p>Hipsters can suck it, I went grainfree low carb not because I had weight to lose but because when I tried it I realized it was like night and day, flipping a switch in my brain. I think more clearly, I don't flip out at the drop of a hat and when I do get mad, I calm down and move on far more easily. That's not emotional maturity, that's chemistry, and science with an n of 1. I'll never go back to the way I was, not with a gun to my head. Not to mention diabetes runs in my family and I'm already one tooth short of matching my grandmother by dying with all my teeth. When I leave this mortal coil, I want to go out still being able to walk, think, and chew my own food. Everything's a crap shoot, but this makes it a little more likely.</p>

<p>How about grown ass adults who won't eat hotdogs? By the time you're in your mid 30s, you should have put things a lot more disgusting than a processed pig anus into your mouth - and been excited about it. <br /><br />Fussy adult eaters with no other complicating issues annoy me. Especially if you're asking me to pick up something for you when I run out for lunch. If you won't take it exactly the way it comes off the menu - go get it yourself. You don't like pickles or onions or tomatoes? Whatever - I get not liking something. Pick it off. Don't make it more difficult for people who reached the epitome of their career here-so-far - flipping burgers.</p>

<p>Grain alternatives taste like bleah. You know what a grainless cake is? <br /><br />Gross. <br /><br />You know what a "cracker" alternative is? <br /><br />Gross. </p>
<p><br />I did keto for a while. I ate "Baked Cheese cracker alternatives." <br /><br />They weren't *terrible*. But they were certainly an *alternative*. Just like for my wife, I'm an alternative to George Clooney. <br /><br />Doesn't mean I *suck*... but George Clooney would have been tastier. </p>

<p>My In-Laws both got positive test results back today. My daughter, wife and I are isolating at home. <br /><br />My Sister-in-Law, Brother In Law, and their 3 kids who visited for Thanksgiving are doing the same thing. <br /><br />My test is on Saturday. <br /><br />It isn't my first... but I knew we were playing Russian Roulette with my In-Laws. They were being very Senior Conservative in their approach to it. Not *hostile* about masks and calling it a hoax - just... nonchalant. <br /><br />Now we wait and hope the family streak of very mild cases and not a lot of intra-family infection continues.  </p>

 I'm not talking about if/when we hit 100%....  I am talking about the fact
that being at 80% capacity isn't unusual.  So there's a bit of fear mongering
going on.  People hear 80 or 90% and freak out, when that's NORMAL. 
  
 Of course 100% would potentially be bad, it really depends on how long though?
 Hours?  A day?  Weeks?

<p>Sometimes I think we're headed for a civil war. <br /><br />Then I see stuff like this, read the comments, and I think, "No, it'll probably be a World War." I see it from the UK, I see it from Australia. The global right and the global left are headed for a confrontation. <br /><br /></p>

 Let's talk about that, then.  What do we know now that we didn't know last
year, and what are we going to do differently?  I think we all know at this
point that mask/vaccine mandates are more of a political issue than an epidemiological
issue, so that topic is a bit less interesting here.  What I'm more interested
in learning now are things like: 
  
 * Are we ventilating patients at the same rate we initially did?  Have we
learned more about outcomes vs. risks? 
 * Is NYC's high rate of infection during last year's season giving it a better
forecast for this season?  (Not to the point of "herd immunity" but at least
a *trend* in that direction) 
 * Are we aware of multiple strains with different symptom severity?

<p>The people who are demanding a national mask mandate and a national shutdown... <br /><br />Are the same ones that were claiming that Trump was *literally* "The Next Hitler" for four years. <br /><br />I think you're a bit confused on which side is *invoking* Reductio Ad Hitlerum and which side is actually displaying fascist like tendencies. <br /><br />Perhaps climb back into your own rocker before you accuse me of being off mine. <br /><br />Seriously - there is ample evidence that many of the policies invoked in New York city - with nursing homes for example, were effectively no different than sending undesirables to gas chambers under the guise that you were "acting in the best interests" of society. <br /><br />The policies of the Left on Covid-19 resulted in as many, if not more, preventable deaths than the policies of the Right. </p>

 NYC is at 82% "capacity" right now, but a lot of beds have been removed since
the spring and there are plans in place to add them back... not sure what
you're trying to say here, except that it sounds like you literally don't
understand the idea that 100% full is an actual problem. That's not a good

<p>I actually lost a friendship over this kind of debate. I vape. I vape because of potential harm reduction compared to cigarettes. But, I argued with a vehemently PRO vaping individual who makes their living from that market - "we won't know if the long term harm reduction is a benefit or a liability for at least 10 years, probably more like 20." <br /><br />But by the same token, if everyone who had non-symptomatic Covid-19 starts dying from strokes and coronary failure in March - it turns out that getting stronger symptoms was *actually* the better bet - and we don't know *that* yet, either. <br /><br />That may be very unlikely - but it is still a *possibility*. Everyone could have been infected already, most of us non-symptomatic, and most of us untested - and THAT could be the *lethal* dose of Covid. No one thinks through all potential scenarios. They only see what is right in front of their face. </p>

 Fact: I have followed very heavy messures with masks and face shields, proper
desinfection of tools and surfaces, lots of isolation and everything.    
  
      
 I still got a regular flu.     
    
 I stand with what mask manufacturers used to say before the pandemic. They
said: "This product does not protect against biological hazzards".   
  
 Masks are mitigation tools but they work no miracles. I think they are used
more for people's peace of mind than anything.

 Hospitals seem to be 80-90% full most of the time anyway....  There's very
little capacity in the system.    
  
  
 NYC is in has lost nearly 20 hospitals and 20,000 hospital beds in the last
two decades - a 30% reduction.   
  
 Hospitals are forced to provide care, regardless of the ability to pay. 
It's an unsustainable model.

<p>I've been saying for a couple of weeks now - the virus is less virulent now... the total viral loads are going down even as infections go up, and lower viral loads correlates with less severe complications.  This follows the pattern of the last Coronavirus pandemic - I *think* it was SARS, but I may be wrong on that detail. There was a second wave with lower viral loads and less severe complications, then that virus "disappeared", according to the article where I read this. <br /><br />We *are* back up to the point where I suspect Arizona may do a shutdown again, though... </p>

 A small bit of NYC-specific kinda-good news: 
  
 My gf works at one of the university hospitals in Manhattan. I'd rather not
say which one, and I can't cut/paste the post because it came from the company
intranet. 
  
 As a university hospital they have some academic PhD-types with propeller
heads who are doing some data modelling. The current thinking is that the
second wave, in NYC, is not going to get nearly as bad as it was in March-April.

  
 I haven't cross-checked this with what IHME is saying, but it's slightly
encouraging news. 
  
 However, hospitalizations in NYC are growing exponentially. Currently they're
above 1250, up from a low of 250 during the summer (that's 5X.) This particular
hospital has not seen a major increase yet, mainly because of their location;
but they are planning that they'll have to deal with one in about 2 weeks
as other city hospitals begin to overflow
and patients begin to get sent here. 
  
 As always, by definition when a hospital is full that means you can't admit
people you would have liked to admit.

 It depends on the basis of that concern.   
    
 "This vaccine has not been tested yet" is a valid concern.   
    
 "This vaccine has RNA in it" is not a valid concern, in and of itself. We've
been doing various kinds of viral vector vaccines for a hundred years or more.
The entire discussion has to be balanced against the risks of the live virus,
which *also* has RNA in it,
in a far more malicious form.   
  
  
 "This RNA could somehow magically rewrite your genome by accident", I'm sorry
to say, flies in the face of medical knowledge--but even if it were a valid
concern, you would have to have the same concern about the live virus...

<p>This is the problem with keeping posts "on topic" on Citadel BBSes, and always has been. This doesn't need to be moved - it is on topic - the topic just fits either room as good as the other.

It was Sammy Hagar speaking up about Eddie Van Halen passing that made me notice this.

 Like anything else, most reasonable people are not that extreme in either
direction.  The vast majority of people are ok with wearing a mask and washing
their hands.  Many are accepting of reasonable amounts of lockdown. 
  
 On the other hand, it's difficult to call fear of a minimally tested vaccine
"irrational".  Yes, go ahead and make it available to those who are high risk
and/or fear the virus more than the vaccine.   I do not fear the vaccine if
I can elect not to take it.  I do fear the possibility that they will make
it mandatory.  It would be disingenuous to equate skepticism of the safety
of a minimally tested vaccine with the behavior of conspiracy theorist fringe
groups.

 "But that comes with several important caveats. Employers must abide by any
state or local laws, as well as provide breasonable accommodationsb to people
with qualified disabilities and to those who have religious objections, as
required by the ADA and Title VII, respectively. Under the ADA, a vaccination
is considered a medical examination that must be bjob-related and consistent
with business necessity or itbs necessitated by a direct threat,b said Karla
Grossenbacher, a labor and employment lawyer with Seyfarth Shaw. Collective
bargaining agreements with unionized workforces should also be consulted,
employment lawyers said.

 This article delves into the legal issues surrounding whether employers can
make a vaccine mandatory: 
  
 https://www.washingtonpost.com/road-to-recovery/2020/12/02/workplace-mandated-coronavirus-vaccine/

  
 A few quotes, 
  
 "Christine Nazer, an EEOC spokeswoman, said in a statement the EEOC bis
actively evaluating how a potential vaccine would interact with employersb
obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, and the other laws the Commission enforces.b An email
to the CDC was not immediately returned. 
  
 "bThere are so many unknowns, so many unanswered questions,b said Sharon
Perley Masling, a partner at Morgan Lewis, who said most of her clients are
considering just encouraging the vaccine until there is government guidance.
bWebre operating from a bit of a blank slate right now.b" 
  
 And one of the conclusions:

  
 "Once a coronavirus vaccine receives formal government approval, employment
lawyers say itbs more likely to be treated like the flu shot, which can be
mandated, even if itbs currently rare outside the health care field.

 It does need to be moved... 
  
 An observation: the whole world is going insane. Some folks might be excessively
fearful of the virus. Others are most definitely irrationally fearful of the
vaccine. 
  
 In the worlds of @BallouxFrancois, if one group favors maximum lockdown and
another group just wants to get on with their lives and take whatever slightly
elevated risk that entails, those two groups are not going to agree. 
  
 n.b. For some groups, the risk is not "slightly elevated"; my dad's risk
of death is probably 10-20% or more. If you wouldn't play Russian Roulette
willingly, you wouldn't take that risk. 
  
 To put it another way, if one group, standing on rigid ideological grounds,
insists on "no lockdown restrictions whatsoever", most other groups are not
going to agree. If that group then doubles down "not even mask restrictios
BECAUSE GIVE ME LIBERTY AND DEATH!!!!1", most other groups are going go doubt
their basic sanity.

<p>They're not doing it for the paranoid. They're doing it for political theater - to "model that good leadership leads by example." <br /><br />The American people are asleep. Convinced they probably won the election - why would Bush, Clinton and Obama publicize a joint vaccination? Trump shook the foundations of their political establishment in a way that they found unacceptable - and it is more signaling "Trump was only in it for himself, but the REAL Republicans and Democrats are in it for you, the public..." <br /><br />They're afraid of what happens in 4 years, even if they win this 4 years. The Clinton Democrats and the Bush Republicans both. </p>

<p>That may be part of it. Lots of actually peer reviewed research indicates that infections are less severe, with lower viral load and less complications. <br /><br />The reason is still out - but *my* theory is that the virus is weakening in the same pattern as the previous Corona Virus pandemic weakened and that most of the people who had severe complications because of comorbidities were among the first wave of fatalities - exposed before they realized they needed to self-isolate and social distance. There will certainly still be cases with severe complications - but again - most theories are just *conjecture* at this point - no one seems to know for certain how this is going to progress. <br /><br />The catch-22 about this is if we over-react and shut down the economy and the 2nd wave is less fatal for the reasons I suggest - those who are proponents of shutting down will be able to claim, "it is because we shut down!" <br /><br />And there is no real way to test. </p>

<p>TL;DR - "Racism" and "Xenophobia" are natural biological imperatives designed to minimize risk to like groups, communities and societies as much as a learned behavior. Like most nature vs. nurture arguments (social gender constructs vs. biological gender based preferences,) there is a little of both involved. </p>

<p>Not really anything I completely disagree with in this response. I'd point to Sweden outside of an East Asian and Oceania government as an example of a nation with very strong social cohesion that approached it far differently but with "better" results. (Although that is still being argued). <br /><br />My observation - Covid hits dense urban areas with high density living, lots of diversity, and mass transit harder than <em>anywhere </em>else. It is the perfect pathogen to illustrate everything that is wrong with this kind of social order. It is a social structure that causes tremendous churn and interaction among widely diverse different communities. That doesn't happen in Japan, it doesn't really happen in Sweden, and it doesn't happen in the suburbs and rural parts of the country.  I bet if you found isolated ethnic communities in large urban areas where outsiders do not visit and where the locals do not interact with outsiders often - you would see lower rates of infection and transmission *there*

 Asymptomatic transmission is a tricky thing to pin down. By its very nature,
you're talking about cases with lower viral loads, and the disease can be
quite hard to transmit in individual symptomatic cases. R-nought is less than
2, I think, even for people with a lot contacts--so that means the vast
majority of symptomatic exposures do not result in transmission. Obviously
however R-nought is nonetheless large enough for exponential growth, and we
see a lot of heterogeneity in who spreads the disease and who doesn't; the
majority of transmission comes from a minority of people.   
    
 So, to me, it stands to reason that there are going to be conflicting studies,
especially the ones that look directly at individual cases to find direct
evidence of asymptomatic transmission. But the broad aggregate data that I've
seen points to asymptomatic transmissin pretty strongly; for example the fact
that the serial interval appears to be shorter than the incubation period.
  
  
  
 Off topic but yes there was actually a clinical trial that found evidence
that OTC cetylpyridium chloride mouthwashes can kill the virus. This is probably
one of those "true but useless" statements. I'd still be infected
other than in my saliva, and look at that saliva again an hour later... know
what I mean? My reaction was "why the fuck are these people wasting time and
money on this particular study" 
  
 There's definitely a culturally-driven difference in the way East Asian and
Oceania governments, as a group, have responded. I don't believe everything
I'm hearing from China; they're lying about how well they doing, and I bet
some of the rural regions are suffering and just being neglected by the CPC.
But I do believe what I'm hearing from Japan and others. These are responses
that are probably only possible in countries with a higher degree of social
cohesion and social trust than the good old U S of A. It also helps to not
have a loosely federal form of central government. (No, I'm not arguing in
favor of outright authoritarianism, which I loathe.) 
  
 We are in for an absolute shitshow this winter
in the US. So if you believe that we should trust individuals to make the
right decisions, then it's still important for individuals to do what they
can (within the limits of their economic situation--some don't have many good
choices.)

<p>We haven't been able to agree on that right since the beginning. We *think* we've been seeing it. We also keep thinking that maybe mouthwash and nicotine prevent infection. We were so confused in the beginning, and have been in reactive mode ever since, that I don't think we have a very clear idea of what was happening right at the beginning. <br /><br />And, China absolutely got it in control when they started practicing *severe* social isolation. That much was pretty well documented. We were paying a lot of attention by that point. </p>

<p>Ah, I saw this one before. It was in relation to the idea that we're seeing more people who are testing positive with no or very mild symptoms, and that is related to viral loads going down.

<p>It is a very conservative view that we risk hurricanes from butterfly wings when we tamper with the way the genetic sequence works. Not that this is a bad thing. But at some point, someone drilled into someone's skull not sure what the long term affects were going to be - and if we didn't take that first step, we wouldn't be where we are today. <br /><br />We saw this early on with Covid - with fears about HCQ... and other experimental Covid tests. <br /><br />"It might kill them..." <br /><br />Yeah... so the solution is, "let's just sit by and watch them die, because that is more ethical." <br /><br />And clearly, you illustrate we have benchmarks on what is more ethically risky and what is less.

<p>Noted. Unfortunately, the epidemiology and the politics have been inseparable with this particular virus - and as we've seen in this discussion - people are still divided on *facts* because of this. <br /><br />It is a disturbing trend that a pandemic should be so politically divisive - because from the start, I've been willing to wear a mask, to socially isolate, or to face it head on, depending on what <em>non-partisan expert authorities</em> believe is the best course of action to deal with this pandemic. <br /><br />Sadly that has been made impossible by a media repeating a certain narrative they are partial with and ultra-partisan opposition taking the complete 180 degree position on general principle. <br /><br />I just want the data - and I've been arguing from the start that it is all guesswork - we didn't know enough about the virus at the start, and we know precious little more now. We're getting a handle on it - just like we did with AIDs - which was arguably a much more dangerous, devastat

<p>What is wrong with eugenics? Eugenics is a thing. It exists. Elon Musk got dragged through the mud for confronting this on Twitter, recently. You can breed *any* biological organism for selected traits - this is *science*. Hitler turned the whole idea of eugenics into a thing we can't talk about - can't admit is how reality works - and that sets back human progress in a worse way than tampering with our genetics ever could. <br /><br />Once we start selectively generating or disabling proteins to the point that "our betters" can make all birth defects fatal, why not just disable birth defects? If we can set a switch to make birth-defects fatal, why couldn't we set a switch to make birth-defects impossible? <br /><br />Once we can master that - what does RACE matter?

<p>Yeah - that seems to be the gist I got from it. They produce a protein - but they don't alter your DNA or RNA. <br /><br />But - if we could genetically alter ourselves to be superior - why *wouldn't* you? <br /><br />What difference is there in "playing God" between mastering fire and figuring out the wheel or how to land a ship on the moon or how to turn off the genetic sequence that makes us go bald? <br /><br />If there are interstellar travelling aliens - I bet genetically altering their DNA was one of the first steps toward achieving that feat. Some day, we *are* going to do it - if we survive ourselves long enough. <br /><br /></p>

<p>No. Masks don't SAVE lives. That is another thing about the rhetoric. <br /><br />They *potentially* prolong the time until people with comorbidities inevitably become exposed to the virus. To save lives, masks would have to be a 100% guaranteed prevention from infection. The claim that masks SAVE lives, that there are people who are dead because there was not a federal mask mandate - is a partisan political talking point, and nothing more. <br /><br />If we're going to be using *science*, then let's *science*. The whole idea of masks and social isolation was to protect the most at risk until cures and treatments could be developed - until we could better understand why it is so dangerous and deadly in some cases, a very bad flu in others, and hardly more than a cold in the vast majority of cases. <br /><br />So, masks don't <em>save lives</em> - they <em>buy us time</em> until we can find something that <em>actually</em> saves lives. <br /><br />It is making the whole school not eat PB&amp;J becau

 Just found out this was a key demand of the teachers' union. In the event
the citywide test-positivity rate goes above 3% (which it has), schools have
to close. 
  
 So the union has the power to shut down schools, and only Cuomo has the power
to shut down restaurants. It is what it is.

<p>So, I think the context here IS important. <br /><br />In MARCH, when you personally caught it, in *New York City* - it was a VERY difficult experience for you, at a far more frightening time in our understanding of the course of the disease. You also are personally connected to someone who died from the disease, or from complications from it or caused by it, in a similar circumstance to your own. <br /><br />My personal experience in Arizona has been far different. I know probably a dozen people who have caught it, including several family members, one of whom is clinically overweight and has pre-existing conditions. One guy, who is otherwise a healthy guy, ended up in ICU. Almost everyone else described it ranging from, "I lost my sense of smell and I was REALLY tired," to "It was like the worst cold ever." <br /><br /><br />But that is why I'm less worried about CATCHING it than our ability to treat it. I hear and acknowledge stories like yours - but I understand that there is a political machine th

 All of this is literally true, but you need to put it in context. Here in
NYC, in March when I caught the disease, the city's 311 line and the healthcare
systems were all quite explicit in what they said to me: YOU NEED TO STAY
HOME, SIR, unless it is absolutely necessary for you to be hospitalized. 
  
 That left me in the difficult position of buying a pulse oximeter and tracking
my own vital signs throgh a difficult and scary period where I could barely
function, where BP was spiking to 170/110, and there were issues with tachycardia
that on one occasion could only be controlled with albuterol. This would not
be a situation where you want to be stuck with home care under normal circumstances.
It would have been far better to have hospital staff to keep an eye on things.
EMT's were put in the unusual position of telling people they had to stay
home, and the hospitals were still nearly overwhelmed like happened in Italy.

  
 Many people are going to be in the same boat this winter. El Paso and a few
other areas are already there, from what I'm hearing. You're starting to see
facilities filled to capacity, so they're airlifting patient elsewhere, and
the return of the refrigerated morgue trucks.

<p>I think you guys missed my point. <br /><br />It isn't about hospital capacity, as much as it is about being able to effectively triage, diagnose, treat, and dismiss infected. <br />The issue has always been ICU beds and respirators. That is what we feared when we talked about cases overwhelming healthcare. <br /><br />The flu is a potentially fatal and dangerous viral infection that we mostly treat with symptom management. Stay at home, get plenty of rest and fluids, and manage the symptoms with Tylenol and OTC drugs. <br /><br />I'm not afraid of getting Covid - as much as I am afraid of that we don't know how to effectively treat complications FROM Covid yet. </p>

 Remdesivir is approved only for hospitalized patients, and the evidence for

 Another issue you run into is that cases lag deaths by some amount of time,
probably 2-4 weeks. So we're getting this rapid spike now that is not going
to match up with deaths from Jun where cases where falling (the cases would
have fallen FIRST-they're always leading.)

 Deaths have been flat in NYC because hospitalizations have been flat. I don't
think anybody's getting significant outpatient treatment. So I view the case
numbers as an artifact. 
  
 The numbers I'm watching are here: 
  
 https://projects.thecity.nyc/2020_03_covid-19-tracker/ 
  
 Specifically, the bottom left graph (hospitalizations.) There's a date picker
up top. Set it to say, Jun 1-present and you'll see we're getting back into
a rapid exponential growth phase. For example, the number is 712 today, it
was 545 on the 11th, and it got as low as about 250 in the middle of summer.

 Watch these numbers carefully over the coming weeks.

 Deaths have been fairly flat, even with rising cases for a few months.  It'll

 In that category, the Regeneron cocktail looks promising, so does remdesivir
but I was reading an article today about how there's no data linking it to
actual improvements in mortality -- it just shortens your time to recovery.
That might be true of the Regenero cocktail as well.   
    
 Dexamethasone(?) might be the best of the bunch. I saw another study recently
about a similar treatment that suppresses the damaging inflammation, unfortunately
I'm having trouble finding the link. The claim that I'm hearing, which seems
to make sense, is that the more specifically we can suppress *only* the problematic
parts of the immune system that result in all that runaway inflammation, the
better off we'll be.   
  
  
 I'd rather be vaccinated than be in a position where I have to gamble on
the best after-the-fact treatment; I don't think we've gotten *that* much
better at treating this. 
 

 Interestingly, the breakneck pace at which this virus is now spreading has
also had the effect of speeding the pace at which vaccine trials can gather
their effectiveness data...

 What do you mean? A vaccine is more of a preventive measure than a therapy,
you have to take it first. It will either prevent infection entirely *or*
just reduce symptoms when you do catch it--that's where the line starts to
get fuzzy. 
  
 This is the best technique in our arsenal by orders of magnitude. No after-the-fact
treatment comes close.

 That's it.  The virus is real.  It's difficult to argue that the virus does
not exist when people everywhere are contracting it.  Our objection is not
to the assertion that the virus exists, but that it has been used as an excuse
for some pretty tyrannical behavior.  That much is not up for debate either;
the place where we can start to differ is on whether it was deliberate or
opportunistic.  And that's a discussion for another day (or at least another
room).

 Of course things can change, but that's really highly unlikely, this is encouraging

Yes, it could probably trigger a dangerous autoimmune reaction in a small

sequelae ("long-haulers")

 I personally will wait a little, but I have the luxury of (a) probable partial
immunity, (b) young
age and only one underlying condition, and (c) the ability to work from home
as long as necessary. Many people do not have that luxury. 
  
 Much of this discussion is moot, in any case: by the time enough doses have
been manufactured that the thing is broadly available to the people reading
this room, the will be far more data. We have to wait, whether or not we choose
to.

 You know what? That's fine. Personally, I[3because I've already recovered
and probably have some cellular immune memory, I will be waiting until (a)
the full approval process is complete, not just Emergency Use Authorization,
and (b) we have some data on how it behaves in people who were already infected
naturally: does it confer additional protection? They are looking into this
question separately, but it's not the primary focus for the EUA. 
  
 But make no mistake: this IS news.

<p>I literally just read a report that said something to the effect that Covid-19 seems to be weakening - and that this is what the last Corona virus did before it "disappeared". <br /><br />It wasn't an academic paper, and I'm not a virologist - but the basic thesis was that Corona viruses tend to weaken, almost like a half-life, then disappear. Or at least the last one did. Maybe SARS, and there is evidence emerging that Covid-19 is following a very similar trajectory. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>

 90% effective (preliminary result, hope it holds) and no significant safety

<p>Isn't that what's happening in general now?  I feel as if the Really Bad Cases (tm) were common at the beginning, people getting really weak and having trouble breathing and being put on ventilators and more of them dying.  From mid summer on, everyone I've heard about who has caught the virus has either had mild or flu-like symptoms.  </p>
<p>I am completely aware that it could just be a coincidence about the cases I'm hearing about and the cases I'm not hearing about.  On the other hand, Epidemiology 101 teaches that viruses *do* get weaker, possibly because the deadliest strains tend to kill people before they can spread.</p>
<p>We should probably disregard the President's case because he has access to a completely different caliber of treatment than the rest of us do.  There are optics involved, of course, but that's a discussion of politics rather than epidemiology.</p>

 I'll make a prediction: Trump is going to recover, possibly because of the
Regeneron experimental antibody cocktail that he's receiving. 
  
 (Of course there is a nonzero chance that said cocktails kills him via antibody-dependent
enhancement, but if you can believe Regeneron's press release, the results
have been very promising so far.) 
  
 The issue with treatments like this is probably going to be scaling up manufacturing
to produce enough for everyone who might need them. If I understand correctly,
these are several monoclonal (is that the same thing as polyclonal?) antibodies,
produced via a biological process.

 dear god, yes, it's designed to provoke an immune response. that's the sort
of thing you might expect, and it sounds mild compared to the actual lingering
autoimmune problems that I've been experiencing on and off as a result of
actual sars-cov-2 infection. the biggest issue with the virus is that your
immune system may overreact to it. 
  
 The antibodies/response to this virus may be problematic in some cases -
there is no getting around that. I would rather get my problematic antibodies
from a mostly harmless vaccine than from live virus. It was a living nightmare
for me, I absolutely compare it to Night of the Living Dead.

 Nothing new. It is everywhere.

 That's part of the problem.  I plan to refuse the vaccine for exactly this
reason.  And if that were the whole picture, it wouldn't be much of a problem.
 The problem comes about if they make the vaccine "mandatory" -- and there
are a lot of ways they can make it *effectively* mandatory, mark-of-the-beast
style by excluding the unvaccinated from being able to participate in society
in any meaningful way.     
      
 For a disease that is turning out to be far less lethal than originally assumed,
mandatory prescription of a rushed-to-market vaccine is, shall we say, contraindicated
by common sense.     
    
    
  
 On the other side of the argument, I fully support the right of any individual
to make an informed
decision to take an untested or minimally tested medication if they and their
doctor have concluded that the potential benefits outweigh the risks (aka
"right to try").

 Tell me exactly what I said that was false....  Literally nothing I said
is false.  Nothing.  I talked about normal vaccine production.   
  
 While "they" may risk production, "they" could just as equally be wrong,
just as "they" have been wrong
in the past.    
 Yes, these aren't normal times.  But this also isn't nearly as deadly as
the media would have you believe.  Maybe your personal experience is clouding
your judgement on this.   
  
 I for one don't want to be forced to receive a vaccine that hasn't been well
tested.  If you want to be part of a mass experiment, be my guest. 
  
 I hope we don't discover that we've created the new thalidomide or worse
in the process.

to market.  Even when medicines are approved at the normal rate, sometimes
we find problems with them later on.  Considering that the mortality rate
of the Wuhan coronavirus has crashed through the floor now that we've increased
testing and discovered that there were many cases with no or mild symptoms,
the risk of using a minimally tested vaccine seems larger than the risk of
contracting the disease, except perhaps for those with higher risk factors.
    
    
    
  
 That was supposed to be one of the benefits of HCQ treatment -- its contraindications
are well known, and its safety for those without the contraindications is
high.  I'm still not counting it out and will ask my doctor for it by name
if I happen to get the virus.

 Most of that is down to something us IT professionals are quite familiar
with: parallelization. At least 2 vaccine candidates are about to enter stage
3 trials, so we've shaved about 7 years off te typical timeline. And it's
therefore just a falsehood to say "they're not going to speed the process
up"; simply put, they already DID speed it up. The decision has already been
made. Not only a falsehood, but deeply ignorant about what's actually going
on in vaccine research at the moment. 
  
 The death rate is plenty bad enough to justify all of this.

 I find it a bit concerning if they are trying to rush the regular procedure
in order to get the product deployed faster.   
  
 In my opinion, we should prepare for the worst and hope for the best. At
this point that means hopping there will be a vaccine but not depending on
it.

 You're either delusional or knowingly spreading FUD about the timeline. That's
horsehit, Ragnar, and you know it. It's not going to take a decade. Not on
the accelerated schedule that's been talked about. They're going to risk production

intellectually dishohest to compare them to normal times in

 If we're going to do lockdowns at all, do them right. Either don't lock down
at all, or lock down according to something along the lines of the criteria
the IHME were using before they revised their model to account for reopening:
lockdowns expected to continue until cases were suppressed to a level that
could be managed via contact tracing. European countries did it right and
are reopening without the spikes we are seeing. 
  
 And as usual, Ragnar's conclusions are suspect at best, and absolutely backwards
at worst. If the implication of all these new studies is that herd immunity
will be less than perfect, than his herd immunity strategy would not work.

 Regarding vaccines, I have some data points to share.   
    
 I had a chat back-and-forth yesterday with a fellow recovered pt who knows
two others. One of the two saw a 2-fold drop in antibody titer in a 30-day
period. This is a lot like my results - I am antibody-low and antibody-negative
according to two different tests lately, but out of caution I waited a long
time after starting to recover and before getting the antibody tests, so I
may have had a stronger response that faded away before any tests were done.
   
  
  
 I got an email from a researcher about my test results. He confirmed that
my case is not atypical. They see a strong correlation between PCR positivity,
fever, and a strong antibody response. But a lot of people are in my boat.
I never had a fever. Although one of the two people mentioned above had NO
symptoms and a STRONG antibody response, so it's all over the
place. 
  
 All this may have implications for a vaccine, and it may be the case that
immune memory cells are critical for many people who will not sustain antibodies
very long. But nobody really knows what it all means yet, except for my best
buddy Ragnar who gets to make up his own facts based on pure political bias.
Must be nice. 
  
 There was also a WSJ article recently that talked about T-cell cross-reactivity
in a significant subset of the population who may have previously been exposed
to one or more of the other coronaviruses, and this may reduce the threshold
for herd immunity, but again, nobody knows what this means except Ragnar.

 Yes.  That.  We've reached a point where people should be permitted to make
their own reasoned decisions ... what we'd call a risk/benefit analysis. 
There's also a psychological aspect to it -- lots of people are simply burned
out on quarantine protocols at this point.  I have to admit though, I dig
the full-face shields that are starting to appear.  We're wearing them at
the local community center where I volunteer as an election worker. 
  
 (Of course, that's coming from someone who has actually worn a bunny suit
in a cleanroom)

 I actually tend to agree with this. The mental health impacts of confining
people to quarters for 18 months, in a doomed attempt to suppress R0<1.0 (doomed
because of lack of compliance) need to be reckoned with. So there has to be
some balance, even if there are lives at stake. Who knows what "balance" means
exactly in practice... 
  
 Even if not precisely doomed-due-to-lack-of-compliance, we still have this
major testing and tracing gap. With best-case compliance, it feels like we
would be able to suppress the virus to a low, but nonzero level where it would
simply be waiting to cause a second wave as soon as we take our foot off the
gas pedal. The alternative is 10-25% of the population living on welfare until
a vaccine emerges, and we just don't have the political
will or a plan for that. 
  
 Any sort of sane "balance", however, depends on people being intellectually
honest about what's going on.

to inanimate objects.  This is the point -- I'm done with all of this.  Everyone
is lying, nobody has any reliable information, and everyone is using the crisis
to further whatever agenda they already had.  No sides here either -- *everyone*
is doing it.  They've all exhausted my patience, and I think I am more representative
of the average citizen than, say, someone who has access to inside information
about critical trials.  It is certainly possible that I'm completely wrong,
and in fact I hope I am. 
  
 The straw that broke this camel's back is, of course, Bill Gates.  Pundits
are painting him like some sort of f***ing white knight who is going to fund
the development of a vaccine, and he's going to be the savior of humanity
just like he was the savior of computing.  And we all know what really happened
there.
 This is why my new attitude is "f**k the whole world". 
  
 I suppose it's legitimate to ask the question about the "curve" -- how flat
is flat *enough*?  There are only two legitimate answers; everything else
is arbitrary.  One is the answer given by rich people virtue signaling about
how we're all in this together, while others are unemployed and broke: that
the infection rate must be brought to near zero.  The other, which assumes
that there's no cure or vax coming within the next few weeks, is simply this:
if the hospitals are not being overwhelmed, the curve is flat enough. 
  
 Yes this is a rant, and a somewhat hostile one.  Know that my hostility is
directed towards the so-called "experts", who have been wrong about everything,
not towards anyone here, even those with whom I disagree on this topic.  If
you want the latter kind of mudslinging you know what room to unzap.  I still
love you all.  Those on the outside who claim to be our betters can go die
in a car fire.

documented and I'm proud of it.  I know the kind of person Bill Gates is,
and I still think the universe would be well served by having him fed feet-first
into a wood chipper. 
  
 As for the rest of us.  A lot more people are going to get sick.  Some will
die.  This is a fundamental truth and it's now a constant, and it's going
to happen this way regardless of what else we do. 
  
 There is no vaccine.  There isn't going to be a vaccine.  Some people are
responding well to various meds (hydroxychloroquine or remdesivir, depending
on how you feel about Big Orange, apparently) buf if there were a slam-dunk
game changer we would have known about it by now. 
  
 We were worried about the hospitals going over capacity.  It didn't happen.
 The makeshift hospital at the Javitz center has now been closed.  The hospital
ship
has sailed away with barely any patients having been seen. 
  
 The governor of NY is now puzzled as to why the majority of new cases are
people who have been quarantined at home. 
  
 No one is willing to say it because everyone is either enjoying the lies
or is too chicken to tell the truth.  There is NO plan to reopen anything
that does not involve more people getting sick.  We have to let this thing
run its course. 
  
 A newly germophobic culture will continue washing hands, sterilizing things,
wearing masks some of the time, etc.  The curve will remain reasonable flat.
 But the number of people UNDER the curve will remain static.  So it's time
to end the tyrannical wet dream that many officials are currently enjoying.

  
 The above is my opinion, which is also known as science.

 It's about money, and it isn't. There are a lot of different sectors to an
economy, but theoretically we can get through this assuming agriculture holds
up. Everyone else can quit their jobs and stay at home and we print money
for people to buy food on a temporary basis. 
  
 Does this work in the long run? Absolutely not. Is it highly hypothetical?
Absolutely. Does it lead to problems with the incentive to work? Absolutely.
But you're talking about a crisis. 
  
 Countries that have bad credit are going to have a lot more trouble. Schumpeter
(I think it was him) once said that Keynesian economics goes overseas to die.
There's a valid point buried in there.

 It is not about money, really. It is about factories that are closed, which
results in people not producing things.     
    
 I caught some conversation in irc2p about people who were in some country
in which government had taken over telecoms
and the army walked the streets. Anybody caught outside took a beating. So
there is also that.    
  
 I think I have already said, but I am much more worried about the decomposition
of social order than of the virus itself.

 I never cease to be amazed that some people think spreading disinformation
is OK at a time like this. Those two Kern County doctors for example: they
are pushing quack pseudoscience, and the lunatic fringe just laps it up. 
  
 There might be a rational argument for early reopening out there somewhere,
but it's hard to see it through all the obvious bullshit smokescreens. I almost
want to say these people are hurting their own cause, but it's obvious that
plenty of people out there have built up a strong immunity to facts, so there's
always another sucker for them to convince. 
  
 All I can say is that I will remain committed to truth, and calling out the
BS (as politely as possible under the circumstances) when I see it.

 Hi zooer--   
    
 Symptoms started March 5 with a mild, dry cough, "viral dreams" on the edge
of sleep, sore throat, and other mostly mild cold/flulike symptoms through
March 11.   
 March 12, I was sitting at lunch, drinking half a beer, and started to get
an intuitive sense that something more serious was afoot. This was some sort
of systemic bodily stress reaction--maybe my heart rate was a bit elevated,
and it's hard to put this into words but I just knew something was wrong.
Since my office had just announced they were planning to go work-from-home
as of March 13, I went home early that day.   
    
 March 15 the shit really hit the fan. I have mild pre-hypertension or stage
1 hypertension; my BP is typically somewhere just above or just below 140/90.
But BP was spiking to 170/110 on the night of March 15, and I was also experiencing
a lot of mental confusion including the inability
to pronounce syllables quite correctly. Other symptoms that night and through
the 17th included: slight wheeziness in the lungs, a heavy feeling in the
lungs, hollow sounding voice, extreme loss of energy and appetite, drastic
changes in cognitive style and emotional stability--despair and anxiety. Elevated
heart rate at times; sometimes it would be difficult to get my resting pulse
down below 100 (which is considered tachycardia.) A bit of arrythmia that
I could notice myself every now and then. I had to meditate as much as possible,
focus on shallow breathing to keep my pulse and BP down. It makes getting
to sleep very difficult, when your virus-addled thoughts are going in weird
directions and you're not sure whether your heart is racing to make up for
problems in your lungs, or what's going on...   
    
 So March 15 I went to the local urgent care clinic--they checked my oxygen
level,
listened to my lungs, that sort of thing. Although my BP was high enough to
cause headache, eye pain, and possibly contribute to those mental issues,
they sent me home with a prescription for albuterol. I also bought a pulse
oximeter to track my oxygen levels at home.   
  
  
 Through March 17 I existed in kind of a fog as these symptoms continued.
Very low energy level, appetite, all the weird bodily stress reactions and
cognitive dysfunction. These couple days were a bit of a scary roller-coaster
ride where symptoms would go away and I would feel almost normal and in good
spirits, be cracking jokes, but the symptoms would come back later that day

  
 March 18, started to feel pretty good albeit with lingering eye sensitive
from all the high blood pressure over the previous few days. March 19 I was
doing a bit better still, and felt well enough to drive to the test center
in New Rochelle.
The results came back positive a few days later. It was not easy to get tested--I
had to bend the rules a bit, and drive to New Rochelle without an appointment.

  
 The thing is, mild symptoms lingered for weeks after this. As recently as
Apr 12, I had a pretty major blood pressure spike to 165/100; this was the
day after some heavy drinking on the 11th, but still, something was clearly
wrong. One of the characteristic symptoms with this virus is that it comes
out at night, when you're tired, and you start to feel a hint of that sore
throat coming back. On the days (like March 15-17) when you're still having
intense symptoms, you wake up in the morning with a feeling that the virus
has come back a bit overnight and it's in your head and sinuses again. This
is frustrating. It makes it difficult to sleep. And it can persist at a mild
level for weeks and weeks.

and spreading stuff. Even surgical maskes have been proven to not be able
to protect healthcare workers from Covid as surgical masks allow some things
to get through. I can pull details if you really want them but based on size
of particles in heavily infected environments surgical masks aren't enough.
So be positive. Follow intelligent guidelines. Wear a mask to protect others.
Wash your hands a lot to protect yourself and others. Don't touch your face
to protect yourself. Much is common sense. Don't put yourself in situations
where it's difficult to follow common sense guidelines. And don't rush out
to try anything just because anyone said so. Wait. Be cautious and let's see
if we can get some additional people to get on board with good followup and
additional support.

people have tied their opinion of HCQ to their opinion of the President --
correct or otherwise, you and I are both good examples.  AG Barr appropriately
called the media behavior "a jihad to discredit hydroxychloroquine." 
  
 The studies which set out to debunk the efficacy of HCQ fall into one of
several categories: 
 * The drug is given to patients who are already very advanced in the disease
and were going to die anyway 
 * HCQ is administered alone, not with zinc and z-pak.  It is believed that
HCQ and Zinc work together to create the antiviral effect, and an antibiotic
is needed to keep secondary infections at bay. 
  
 Meanwhile, Dr. didier Raoult, the French epidemiologist whose work with HCQ
is now well known, administered HCQ+Zinc+Zpak to 80 patients and observed
improvement in every case but one, and
that was a very sick 86 year old with an advanced infection.  Since then,
he continued the study with a total of 1061 patients, 91.7% of whom had a
good outcome.  4.3 had a poor clinical outcome, while 4.4% showed no virological
improvement.

 So yes, I continue to believe that the anti-HCQ crowd is biased either politically
(because Big Orange touted HCQ) or financially (because Big Pharma wants the
cure to be expensive and proprietary). 
  
 That's how I'm reading the data.  If I'm wrong, that's fine too; I'd rather
see good medicine than speculation.

 You are of course correct.  That doesn't seem to be the predominant vibe
though.  People seem to believe that we're locked down until a cure or a vaccine
come into existence.  (I blame Bill Gates for that, of course.)  The ugly
truth is that a lot more people are going to get infected, which should be
obvious from the "flatten the curve" messaging, but that part of it doesn't
seem to resonate. 
  
 Then of course there are the people who are chanting that it will be great
if all of the [group of people someone doesn't like because of social, political,
or economic reasons] get sick and die.  These are the worst people in the
world and sufficient reason to shut down Facebook and Twitter. 
  
 Best possible outcome is if we find a significantly higher than expected
number of people
who were exposed to the virus and acquired immunity with mild or no symptoms.
 And I'm ok with a little optimism here -- right now it's the only thing holding
some people together.

 I'd like to believe that clinical trials are 100% safe from being influenced

 It's frustrating and scary and a bit annoying because the one thing we know

I hear, but when I hear something even remotely plausible I like to immerse
myself in it, try it on for size and see how it feels.  So far, the idea that

 ...and by "conspiracy theories" I mean that the following is 100% Objectively
True (tm) unless someone can change my mind. 
  
 Here's what I'm thinking at this point: 
 1. China manufactured the virus in the Wuhan biolab, using the nearby wet
market as a convenient release vector. 
 2. China already has the vaccine, and has already administered it to ranking
members of the CCP. 
 3. 2 million domestic fatalities is, to them, a small price to pay to knock
down the rest of the world. 
  
 Can you imagine the kind of panic that would be going on if the pandemic

to suppress any challenges to their own conclusions.  This is of course the
opposite of the practice of actual science, which welcomes new data even when
it shakes the box and forces you to re-evaluate everything. 
  
 As for the Brazilian study, all references I can find to it seem to point
back to a NYT article, which seems to have a political rather than medical
agenda, and also doesn't indicate whether the 11 fatalities were caused by
the medication or if they simply succumbed to the virus anyway. 
  
 So we still don't know, and that's kind of the point.  I'm not concluding
that this specific drug is definitely going to be effective, but I'm not giving

 France reported 43 cases of heart incidents linked to treating coronavirus
patients with hydroxychloroquine. 
  
   
 Personally, I believe the HCQ probably provides lots of benefits for Covid-19.
But it also provides lots of risks. A true case of informed buyer beware.

 Undoubtedly there are already clinical trials underway, evaluating the efficacy
of HCQ for treating the chinavirus.  It is also true however, that we probably
do not have time to wait for them to complete in the typical time frame, and
we're going to need to rely on initial indications more than usual.  This

 Annals of Internal Medicine has some choice words: 
  
 "In the desperate search to find effective treatments for coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19), 2 generic drugs, used largely by rheumatologists and dermatologists
to treat immune-mediated diseases, have entered the spotlight. The antimalarials
hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and chloroquine (CQ) have demonstrated antiviral
activity against severe acute respiratory syndromebcoronavirus 2 (SARSbCoV-2)
in vitro and in small, poorly controlled or uncontrolled clinical studies
(1b3). Normally, such research would be deemed hypothesis-generating at best.
A tweet by President Trump on 21 March 2020 claiming that the combination
of HCQ and azithromycin bha[s] a real chance to be one of the biggest game
changers in the history of medicineb accelerated a worldwide run on the drugs,
with pharmacies reporting shortages within 24 hours."

 *sigh* hydroxychloroquine studies I've seen are just laughable. For example
the one where it was   
    
 * non-randomized   
 * no control group   
 * other antiviral drugs were used in every single patient   
 * none of the patients actually had lab-confirmed covid.   
  
  
 I haven't seen a single study that looks remotely good, although admittedly
I haven't been able to look in much detail. 
  
 The bigger issue is that HCQ suppresses parts of the immune system. There
is every reason to have some concerns about its safety. It may only be a plausible
treatment in those who are experiencing those cytokine storms, but I don't
hear many trials being that careful about who it's applied to.

 Obviously there should be massive effort going into fast-tracking those trials.
 But in the mean time people are dying, and there is a large and growing body
of anecdotal evidence that HCQ is working -- enough that the FDA has issued
an emergency use authorization [ https://www.fda.gov/media/136534/download
] for it.  It authorizes health care providers to use it to treat ChinaVirus
patients weighing more than 110 pounds for whom no clinical trial is available
or feasible.  They've been instructed to watch for side effects and are required
to report their patients' progress back to the FDA. 
  
 Of course it's not ideal.  It's literally a gamble with someone's life as
the stakes.  But given the reputation of most of the people in the anti-HCQ
camp, I will gladly take that gamble if I get sick.

 Radio Free Asia is publishing an anectodal report that Chinese funeral homes
are unable to keep up with the demand.  The report [ https://tinyurl.com/tn73uke
] claims that cremation incinerators are breaking because they're running
24/7 and stuffing too many bodies in at one time, and even that terminally
ill and unsaveable patients are being stuffed into body bags and cremated
alive. 
  
 There's no way of determining whether any of this is true, but I choose to
believe bad things about bad people.

 The chinese people are parts in a big government machine.  Individual parts
in a machine can, and should, be replaced if they are no longer serving their
purpose to keep the machine running. 
  
 Unfortunately, we're talking about a culture that just doesn't have the same
respect for the sanctity of life as the cultures that most of us come from.
 That's what permitted "wet markets" to continue existing even though they're
an obvious health risk.  That's what makes the leaders feel that it's acceptable
to lie to the rest of the world if it makes the rest of the world's death
numbers look bigger than the ones they're reporting locally.  That's what
makes it acceptable for them to play dirty tricks with international trade
even when life-saving
medicine is at stake. 
  
 I personally think the China death tool is substantially higher than they're
reporting, possible by multiple orders of magnitude.

 China is a crapbag. You can get your line removed because you critizised
the government :) Jokes aside, it is common for people to have multiple lines,
for business etc. With the crisis going on, you may expect business to close
and business owners to cancel mobile subscriptions.   
  
 If you want conspitracy fuel, think about the leaks from chinesse crematoriums
that claim that the death toll is way way bigger than the official numbers.

 Glad to hear you're mostly on the mend, LS.  I agree that no one should be
self-prescribing or prescribing outside of their area of expertise.  Doctors
who know how to use antivirals and antibiotics should be the ones working
in this area. 
  
 Worse, there seems to be a lot of conflicting news about the efficacy of
this particular drug, or set of drugs.  One report claims that a doctor who
prescribed hydroxychloroquine+azithromycin+zinc achieved a high and speedy
recovery rate and zero fatalities.  Other reports claim that it's making things
worse. 
  
 What *does* seem to have been confirmed is that the dude who poisoned himself
actually ingested an aquarium cleaning product that contains a form of chloroquine,
and was poisoned by the other ingredients. 
  
 Meanwhile, out of the 3,277 fatalities reported in China, 21,030,000 of those
dead people's cell phone service have been canceled.
 Obviously there are could be a lot of explanations, but it is at least hmm-worthy
to wonder whether China has been lying about the impact of the virus, possibly
by multiple orders of magnitude.

 For those of you who know me, and those that don't and don't care... My main
area of work for the past almost 20 years has been software to manage the
ethical oversight of different sorts of research. Human subjects, animal subjects,
radiation safety, bio-safety, etc... We have clients all over the world, universities,
hospitals, federal and state governments. I'm far from an expert but I've
seen and learned quite a bit. Loanshark is absolutely correct. Anecdotal evidence
is useful and requires great amounts of investigation. From what I can see,
researchers are doing everything they can to expand clinical use of drugs
to help, but at the same time, they need to be ridiculously careful. The NY
Times just published an article on Thalidomide which is an unfortunately good
example of what can happen when testing isn't done.  
  
 Yes, the silly list of possible side effects on
commercials is mostly because of legal reasons. Yet, the reason they list
all of those things is because you can be certain that someone had those side
effects happen to them when taking the drug. Sure .001 percent of people is
a very small number of people. Until you're one of the .001 percent.  
  
 LS - I hope you have a full recovery and that you all stay safe.

 I feel pretty good, but I become aware of of the residual virus in my system
when I go to sleep/wake up.   
    
 But surely my viral load is way down from where it was at the worst, and
I'm eating ravenously, walking around, feeling energetic, doing work for the
office, cracking jokes. I've been telling people I'm "fully recovered". I'm
almost on week 3, so if I'm not dead by now, it seems I've pulled through.
  
  
  
 I never required oxygen (watching that like a hawk from home with a pulse

 Yeah, that's based on flimsy evidence so far. Like one flawed study. 
  
 I have very little patience for irresponsible public communications, denialism,
wishful thinking, or misinformation right now, because, get this: 
  
 I contracted COVID-19. 
  
 The first hints of symptoms emerged on March 5, and I was certain that I
was at least coming down with a cold by March 6. So, I'm on day 18. 
  
 Suffice to say that last week, I was the most weak and terrified I have ever
been in my life. Even the "moderate" version of this illness will really ruin
your day. Nobody wants to catch this. This is the real deal, this is not a
drill, and it's not even close to comparable to the flu. 
  
 Anyway, I started to solidly recover, then got a positive test on March 19
while it was still possible to get tested, so I'm under quarantine until April
2. 
  
 Misinformation is dangerous, folks. Chloraquine/azitromycin
is just under investigation at this point, and already: 
 * A person has died from self-dosing himself without medical advice 
 * It's flying off the shelves due to off-label prescribing. Actual lupus
patients are going to have trouble sourcing any. 
 * A dentist called in to a pharmacist to prescribe it, probably for his family.
Prescribing outside your area of expertise is a no-no. Prescribing for yourself
or your family is also a no-no. Unethical at best.

 I have been pointing tat that for long.     
    
 I have also seen people who is in bad medical condition (paralyzed in a wheel
chair, arms inmobilized) that prefer to stay cripple of conditions that are
treatable rather than go to the doctor and get exposed to the virus.   
  
 Mankind is very fucked up.

<p>There is no doubt the panic is going to do more damage than the virus itself.  Social distancing is intended to slow down the spread, to flatten the curve so that the population can be impacted at a manageable rate, so that herd immunity is built, and for health care facilities to be able to handle the patient load.</p>
<p>But we live in a world where IG's First Rule Of Everything still applies: people are stupid.  All they know about pandemics is that all viruses are airborne and have a 100% fatality rate, because that's how it goes in the movies.  (And there are people with agendas, but I'll leave that in the politics room.)</p>
<p>Many of us are going to get sick -- some worse than others.  For many young healthy people it will be a fever and tiredness for a day or two.  For others it will be flu-like symptoms.  For an unlucky few it will be pneumonia.  There is no doubt that a lot of people are going to die, but this isn't going to bring about The Collapse (tm) even though Tom Icom is probably hoping and praying for that.</p>
<p>Panic buying has created a gap between the two ends of the supply chain.  But the supply chain is still moving.  Eventually everyone will have more toilet paper and hand sanitizer on hand than they can use.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, just wash your f***ing hands.  And bleach everything down.</p>

 It looks like panic is setting in around here. People getting supplies from
the suppermarket as if they expected to have to withstand a long ter quarntine.
Some member of an ethnic minority managed to ignore quarantine instructions
and infected some villages, so know hell is broken loose.     
    
 So much panic for what ammounts to a bad flu virus.   
  
 Good news is that I also have supplies and ammo in case things make a turn
for bad. But I suspect panic is going to kill more people than the virus.

 Fun fact, the epidemic has caused Plague Inc. downloads to peak. Plague Inc.
is a videogame in which your objective is to evolve and deploy a biological
agent (bio-weapon, virus, bacteria, whatever) able to terminate the whole
human population on the planet. Before scientists find a cure for it.   
  
 It talks lots about the nature of human being. There is an outbreak, and
people starts playing vieogames about causing everybody to die of it.

 So have I. I have also heard that if they really hate the prisoner, they
use a bullet made of a more expensive material (say, silver or gold alloy)
so they can charge the family even more.

 I had dislocated it badly as a teenager.  Time caught up.   
  
 The way the doctor described things in there, there was tons of damaged tissue
which was removed and they did a repair to small tear.  Also shaved two bones
that had calcium growths. 
  
 I've had shoulder issues since I was 16, so if this repair is as good as
they say, I may be pain free for the first time in nearly 35 years.

 Really?  Where did you get that statistic?  Did you get it from here: 
  
 https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2017-2018.htm 
  
 (I tried looking that up for 2016-2017, but I couldn't find a number there...
just as I couldn't really find a specific one for 2017-2018, just sort of
a range, the highest of which is from 2012-2013 at 56,000 deaths). 
  
 Apparently, that particular season was especially awful, with 16 consecutive
weeks of flu.. epidemic-level flu.  So, yeah, it was pretty bad, but I can't
find the statistic you quoted on CDC's web site. 
  
 I wanted to understand if the folks who died were generally older or something,
and I was curious to know if any of them had been immunized, but the immunization
didn't perhaps work because they got the wrong virus (these shots are best
guesses at immunization). 
  
 I take a very dim view of alarmism in general.  We get
too much of that here in the states, so I push back now. 
  
 This said, I'm definitely not telling anyone whether or not to get the flu
shot.  That's really a personal choice.  But I'm not going to let anyone scare
me into taking it.  I would prefer to be more calculating in my choices.

 Saturday, wracked with aching and splitting headpain to give me a hint why

 Sunday, slightly better, but still sucked. 
  
 Monday, better still, but not great. 
  
 Tuesday, better still, worked from home rather than come to the office. 
  
 Today, even better still, came to the office, wonder if I'm spreading this

out of my cubicle so they can replace the carpeting in a few weeks. 
  
 It's frustrating this thing won't just suddenly go away and allow me to feel
that 100% 'Oh, so *this* is what good health is like' feeling you normally
get when your body totally kicks some flu's ass.  Instead, it's more like
a wimpy kind of incremental update on
the latest status effect as it chips away at the symptoms, making me wonder
if I'll even notice I feel good again in a kind of reverse-boiling-frog effect.

<p>As the Earth begins to tilt away from the sun in winter, North America prepares for the seasonal spread of influenza. The annual flu scare promulgated by public health agencies is now underway. The public is told: <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7311908/next-flu-could-be-deadlier-than-spanish-flu-affecting-400million/">“Next flu pandemic could be ‘DEADLIER than Spanish flu’</a> – wiping out 400 million across the globe,” say news reports.</p>
<p>Given recent evidence that news agencies spread fake news for political purposes, one would think by now the public would have caught onto this scare tactic as the Centers For Disease Control serves as a shill for vaccine manufacturers.</p>
<p>The news reports admit influenza viruses are unstable and rapidly mutate. But they never say they <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=29785509">rapidly mutate into less deadly strains mid-flu season.</a> Got to sell millions of doses of flu vaccine or they go unused.</p>
<p>Even worse, the public may be coerced to inoculate against the flu even though public health agencies know beforehand the vaccine will be ineffective.</p>
<p>Flu vaccines are produced in chicken eggs that are injected with flu strains predicted to circulate in the population in the next flu season. But this slow process of producing antibodies to a group of flu viruses in eggs is subject to mutation over the months the vaccine is being produced in the eggs, so the vaccine may not actually target the flu strains predicted to be in circulation. That means health authorities know in advance whether the vaccine will be effective or not but still market it under the guise it will provide what is called herd immunity. But for that to occur, <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X18306571">70% of the population needs to undergo vaccination.</a> Only about 45% of the population actually chooses to get a flu shot.</p>
<p>Should such a calamity occur (a worldwide flu pandemic), a noted flu expert says <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/7311908/next-flu-could-be-deadlier-than-spanish-flu-affecting-400million/">“modern medicine would not be able to protect us in the face of a new pandemic.”</a> The public is told “starvation, medicine supplies running low, energy systems crippling under the pressure and the collapse of the global economy if a flu pandemic was to hit again.” That deadly threat would come only every 40 years or so when a large mutation in the flu virus would predictably occur.</p>
<p>Flu vaccine antagonist <a href="https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f3037.full">Peter Doshi of Johns Hopkins University</a> says:</p>

<div style="color: blue;">
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>Twenty years ago, in 1990, 32 million doses of influenza vaccine were available in the United States. Today around 135 million doses of influenza vaccine annually enter the US market, with vaccinations administered in drug stores, supermarkets—even some drive-throughs. This enormous growth has not been fueled by popular demand but instead by a public health campaign that delivers a straightforward, who-in-their-right-mind-could-possibly-disagree message: influenza is a serious disease, we are all at risk of complications from influenza, the flu shot is virtually risk free, and vaccination saves lives. Through this lens, the lack of influenza vaccine availability for all 315 million US citizens seems to border on the unethical… the threat of influenza appears overstated.”</blockquote>

<p><strong>Eggs: better than flu vaccines?</strong></p>
<p>The quest for an alternative to vaccines may be at hand.</p>
<p>It was 1960. Dr. Alvin F. Coburn published a landmark report in British medical journal <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673660907509">The Lancet.</a> He had found cases of childhood rheumatic fever dramatically declined among children who ate eggs. Dr. Coburn had actually opened a clinic to treat rheumatic fever that had to be unexplainably shut down in 1955, which he associated with higher egg consumption among families under his observation. He also observed that children who developed rheumatic fever may have better diets rich in animal protein, milk, vitamins A and C, but did not eat more eggs. Another published survey reported <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=eggs+wallis+1954+american+journal+medicine">children with rheumatic fever disliked eggs.</a> The incidence of rheumatic fever was 2.8% among who ate the least eggs and only 0.6% among kids who ate the most eggs, almost a 500% difference.</p>
<p>So Dr. Coburn put eggs to the test. Here were the results:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.wallstreetbear.com/image/1816_1504366446.jpg" alt="Uploaded Image" /></p>
<div style="color: blue;">
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>Group A: normal diet, many nutritional deficiencies; recurrence in 11 of 29 children.
<p>Group B: Children with reinforced diet with two eggs, milk, meat, butter, fish-liver oil (vitamin A); 3 of 35 had a recurrence.</p>
<p>Group C: Normal diet reinforced with powdered egg yolk only: 1 of 25 had a recurrence.</p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
 </div>
<p><span class="t" style="line-height: 1.4;"><img src="http://www.wallstreetbear.com/image/1816_1504366540.jpg" alt="Uploaded Image" /></span></p>
<p>Dr. Coburn then launched a two-year study with half of the children given four egg yolks a day. Among 28 children who developed a sore throat who received no medication and no eggs, 10 experienced recurrence of symptoms. Among 28 children who ate egg yolk powder equivalent to 4 eggs a day, only 1 showed fresh rheumatic fever.</p>
<p><strong>Egg immunoglobulins</strong></p>
<p>Eggs contain ~100-150 milligrams of immunoglobulins. These are proteins in blood serum that are also known as antibodies that bind to antigens such as bacteria and viruses, resulting in their destruction. Whereas modern medicine has developed monoclonal antibody drugs that target a single cell receptor site, egg immunoglobulins are polyclonal antibodies <a href="http://www.allsciencejournal.com/archives/2016/vol1/issue1/1-1-20.1" target="_blank">http://www.allsciencejournal.com/archives/2016/vol1/issue1/1-1-20.1</a> , they have many targets and can protect against a broad variety of bacteria and viruses.</p>
<p>Egg yolk antibodies are being considered as an <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14649324">alternative to antibiotic drugs</a> that induce germ resistance. Whereas multiple monoclonal antibodies may be required to deal with mutating flu viruses, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20405007">polyclonal antibodies from eggs provide protection against the broad spectrum of influenza viruses.</a> This would certainly overcome the problem of vaccines that don’t address rapidly mutated viruses. Store bought eggs have been reported to produce full recovery from the flu. The ramifications of this are obvious in the event of a flu pandemic. Eggs are available worldwide and are cheap.</p>
<p>About 40 grams (40,000 milligrams) of egg immunoglobulins (identified as IgY – immunoglobin y) is produced in a year’s production of eggs from a single chicken. These immunoglobulins also <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12495588">afford widespread protection</a> from entero (intestinal) viruses such as polio and coxsackievirus as well as rotavirus that causes diarrhea in children and bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, Staphylococcus, tuberculosis, Clostridium difficile and H. pylori.</p>
<p>A super-egg can also be produced by <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14649324">injection of specific bacteria or viruses</a> so that chicken eggs specifically address gastrointestinal infections. These super-eggs would serve as alternatives to antibiotics and even problematic vaccines. Egg immunoglobulins are already being used among farm animals in order to avoid use of problematic vaccines that induce germ resistance. Animals that eat from the ground frequently consume soil organisms that induce diarrhea. Egg antibodies can bind to these pathogens and nullify their adverse effect.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.feednavigator.com/Article/2014/08/29/Egg-powder-immunoglobin-science-gains-global-acceptance">Egg yolk powder may become modern man’s preferred immune booster.</a></p>
<p>Dr. Coburn reported that eggs contain a sub-fraction called palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) that has potent anti-inflammatory activity. PEA is available today as a medical food and dietary supplement. It is <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S221343441300176X">extolled for its pain relieving, anti-inflammatory properties</a> and has application for a variety of maladies including mental depression, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=26491593">autism</a>, even the <a href="https://www.hindawi.com/journals/iji/2013/151028/">common cold</a>. Overcoming the entrenched vaccine industry could only be accomplished by public demand and usage of egg yolk powder and/or PEA in preference over vaccines.</p>
<p>Readers can assess the terrible consequences of the mistaken cholesterol phobia that has been the ruling paradigm in modern medicine for the past four decades. With cholesterol phobia came a reduction in egg consumption and the obvious onset of new diseases (Crohn’s, autism, Clostridium difficile deaths, to name a few). <a href="https://www.bakersauthority.com/products/dry-egg-yolks-henningsen?variant=44596923854&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMImJHatYXN3QIVAZN-Ch3JtwHoEAQYASABEgIWp_D_BwE">Egg yolk powder</a> is widely available for bulk purchase. PEA hasn’t hit store shelves yet but is <a href="https://aax-us-east.amazon-adsystem.com/x/c/QqGtPdmBUHba0o2JllQcPCwAAAFmC8mSZQEAAAFKAYI1eCQ/https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_at/?linkCode=w61&amp;imprToken=0pKyR-.kG4JVZpysMcwLPQ&amp;slotNum=6&amp;url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=palmitoylethanolamine&amp;rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apalmitoylethanolamine">sold as a dietary supplement online</a>.</p>
<p>Should a predicted pandemic ensue, vaccines would predictably be in short supply, taking months to produce, while eggs would be readily available to save the planet from an otherwise historic calamity.</p>

 I've never fully understood the point of the flu shot. 
  
 It's an estimated guess that they got the right strain.  It's a pretty good
guess, but still pretty much a guess. 
  
 So you get a jab, and you hope it works.  Or maybe it won't. 
  
 Kinda like reality... maybe you'll get the flu anyway, or maybe not. 
  
 If you aren't exposed to a lot of children or adults, and spend a lot of
time away from people, though, it doesn't make much sense to get a flu shot,
does it? 
  
 You're at greater risk that you'll be injected with something against which
your body reacts poorly, versus risking catching the flu from some asshat
in a grocery store who didn't cover their mouth. 
  
 But then, we have fewer considerate people these days, and populations only
grow, so, I dunno, maybe that risk is worse than I originally thought. 
  
 I just fucking hate needles, though.

is that the shot lasts for more than one year for that strain, so I would
hazard to guess that if you get it every year each year you're immune to more
strains. Also, as far as I know they've injecting dead virus and not just
weakened, but your immune system will still respond as it's building antibodies,
but there isn't any chance of the virus spreading in your body or to others.

 Dear Lazyweb: 
  
 What's the consensus, among those who do NOT wear tinfoil hats, about flu
shots with respect to risk of getting the flu? 
  
 I've only gotten the vaccine a couple of times, but one of those years was
the only time in my adult life where I had the flu (2009).  Is there any credibility
to the concept that vaccinating against a couple of well-known strains makes
one more susceptible to other strains, or that it lowers overall immunity,
or any of the other ideas that float around? 
  
 Searching teh web only turns up scarebait from "natural medicine" sites who
push the same non-medicines that killed Steve Jobs.  I'm perfectly happy to
dismiss them, but am posting this because my own experience raises the question.
 Obviously it could just be a coincidence but I wanted to hear what the collective
thinks.  My health care plan includes a free flu shot and I'm trying to decide
whether to get it.

 My grandmother died around this time last year.  Despite her age of 93 and
rapidly failing health, we firmly believe that she died out of spite for my
sister (who got married out of town where grandma couldn't attend) and my
aunt (who moved to another state and lied about it being just "a trip"). 
  
 That's a talent I want to have: the ability to drop dead on command.   (Compare:
I've heard Ragnar say that he wants to be able to vomit on command.) 
  
 Now we're working on a new theory.  That theory is that Grandma faked her
own death and is hiding out in the empty building that used to be a restaurant
where we celebrated her 90th birthday. 
  
 I need to get Snopes to claim this isn't true, which will mean that it is
true.

 Good thing. 
  
 Around the 25th, a Sunday, I started feeling pretty bad... aches and pains,
like I was working up to a fever.  The next day, I felt decidedly bad, and
called sick. 
  
 The symptoms felt like flu... aches & pains, a bit dizzy, generally feeling
like crap. 
  
 Tuesday didn't feel any better, so I went to the doctor.  She gave me a prescription
for tamiflu, and scraped the inside of my nose to test for the flu. 
  
 I took one dose that day, and did start to feel a bit better. 
   
 Wednesday, I took another dose of tamiflu in the morning, and still felt
like I might be getting better.  Then, I took another one in the afternoon.
 Things went south.  I saw myself starting to break out... I thought maybe
I was having a reaction to the tamiflu, because you can get hives from it,
and all the other terrible symptoms I felt.  I tried to call my doctor, but
couldn't get through.
 I sent e-mails that didn't get answered.  That evening, I went to the emergency
room, and explained what had happened. 
  
 "The tamiflu isn't causing this," this doctor said, "I tried looking for
this kind of reaction, and tamiflu's hives look different from this.  No,
this is chickenpox." 
  
 Da-fuq? 
  
 She prescribed this other pill that I have to take five times a day, or I
dread to think what might happen.  I went through days of agonizing itchiness,
bafflement, and high-fever torture before finally getting to a place where
I can sleep at night again. 
  
 At one point, probably because of the anti-itchiness medicine (which had
more of a hallucinogenic effect than anything useful) I couldn't quite work
out if I was supposed to be using my phone to set up an augmented reality
application so I could distract my mind from its madness so I could get some
sleep.  These were the kinds
of confusion my sleep-deprived, fevered brain mulled about while my body grew
red spots all over itself in some very bad immitation of a dalmation. 
  
 I will say, as a consequence of this disease, I managed to get an appearance
that looks Hollywood-worthy without the use of any makeup whatsoever. 
  
 My voice sounds like what I expect to sound like in 50 years if someone artificially
kept me alive against reason, but I can still speak.  I look like hell, but
hell hasn't accepted me yet, so I still walk the earth.  I've quaranteed myself
to prevent anyone else from getting this, which kinda sucks, because part
of me would love to leap out of bushes and scare the shit out of children.

 RE: Cheese & Eggs... 
  
 There's conflicting information on this, but some of it might simply be old.
 I dunno. 
  
 I haven't really stopped eating cheese with my meals, just careful about
not consuming much of it.  The eggs are a tad more worrisome to me, though,
but if I were safe to eat them with avocado, I think breakfast might be more
entertaining than just oatmeal. 
  
 Not that my oatmeal is terrible... mix in some applesauce, sliced almonds,
flax seeds, and blueberries, and it's both healthy and tasty. 
  
 I hope your knees have been recovering well, though.

<p>@IGgy, Yeah, I know the feeling.  When they readjusted my left knee in 1998, I was supposed to do both of them...but it was such an awful recovery I never went back.  It still aches when it's cold, hot, or wet...and I can't kneel thanks to screws and scar tissue.  One thing I'd recommend watching for is ongoing hip or back pain. With the ACL repair and move of the kneecap, my leg apparently shortened by some infintisimal amount that they have difficulty quantifyin....but enough to through my left hip out of alignment from my right.  But the rest of it did eventually get better.  Just took a really long time.</p>

 I had one syndesmotic screw and a plate plus a few more along my fibula.
Sounds similar to your situation but clearly a little less worse. The plate
is still in there, I can feel it in there from time to time, but it doesn't
really bother me that much and is never actually painful.

 If cheese were a major contributor to serum cholesterol, I would be dead
already.  Cheese is one of my favorite foods and I eat a ton of it.  But as
was pointed out, the new understanding is that dietary cholesterol does not
have the direct impact on serum cholesterol that they assumed it did.  (In
other words, the "settled science" was wrong.)  Unsurprisingly, however, if
you eat a lot of fatty foods, the high calorie intake is going to boost your
serum cholesterol anyway. 
  
 From what I am reading, though, fleeb's decreasing tolerance for cheese is
not related to its fat content, but rather the fact that it "is dairy" 
  
 So yeah, my two syndesmotic screws are out, and the other eight screws plus
the plate will remain in place.  There's some minor pain at the incision site
because
the stitches are still in.  After they come out I'll resume physical therapy.
 For how long ... I don't know.  It's been so long at this point that I'm
starting to worry a little bit about my long term state being more than just
nuisance pain.

<p>@Fleeb, in re the cheese (and eggs), the latest research reveals that food cholesterol is not the 1:1 heart disease cholesterol it's been claimed to be the last 30 years.  Of course, I'm sure that will change next year.  But this year the experts say your cheese and eggs are safe.</p>

 Not avoiding carbs exactly, just in the form of breads. 
  
 So, beans are good (in various forms), fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc.  Rice...
no, sadly.  I'm avoiding rice for the time being, even if it's brown and more
healthy than the enriched white stuff. 
  
 But, it turns out my company provides a 30 minute consultation with a nutritionist,
so I might give that a go, to make sure I haven't done something stupid. 
I'm a bit concerned about cheese now... I kept thinking I'm clear to eat it,
but then I found it has more cholesterol than I realized (when it isn't the
awful stuff).  Fortunately, I've kinda limited it anyway since it isn't as
nutritious, embracing it somewhat only because I figured it would help with
building beneficent gut flora with the yogurt I eat before bed. 
  
 Heh, then there's the bit where you overthink everything, right?

<p>Would you believe, I was nervous about the surgery and forgot to tell the doctor that I wanted to save the screws.  Oh well...</p>
<p>As for carbs ... yes, they are high calorie food, but it's worth being reasonable about it.  Rather than simply reducing all carb intake, make selections that are high in fiber and not highly processed/refined.  Anything whole grain (that is, <em>actually</em> whole grain and not merely "made with whole grain" which could indicate a blend) is usually a good choice.  And remember: fiber makes you feel full.</p>
<p>And always remember: the Atkins Diet killed Dr. Atkins.</p>

 G'luck with the leg.  Unless the screws you meant were in your head, in which
case, maybe you won't know what I'm talking about once they're done. 
  
 Not that I make any sense anyway. 
  
 Uh, right. 
  
 Oh, starches... I plan to return to eating them *after* I've lost the weight
I need to lose, but in a more controlled fashion. 
  
 I view them as 'costly'... you eat a little of them, and they provide a lot
of calories for relatively little nutrition.  I can get fibre, etc. from other
foods. 
  
 This said, I don't think of things like zucchini noodles as a starch so much
as a vegetable masquarading as a starch, so maybe I'm sorta-kinda cheating.

  
 I guess the general idea is to get as much nutrition as possible in as few
calories as I can manage.  And, somehow, I think I've done that.  Although,
in the couple of days, I've been making a mistake, and have lost weight a
bit too
rapidly, I think. 
  
 That is, it's kind of a difficult call ... when you're technically obese,
you can lose weight more rapidly than when you're just a bit chunky, because
your body expends a fair amount of effort just maintaining the fat, and is
rather inclined to burn that fat to get rid of it.  When you're merely chunky,
though, the body tends to want to keep the fat just in case those times come
when you don't have ready access to food (evolutionarily speaking, more people
die from starvation than anything else, so we have these tendencies to help
compensate for this). 
  
 I am at a point in my weight loss now, I think, where I'm at the cusp of
no longer being obese, but being merely chunky.  I'm 5'8.5", at 208 lbs, body
fat at 28.8% (as of this morning, before having breakfast, etc).  I've lost
over 1.5 lbs in two days, which feels far too fast, but I'm not sure. 
  
 Mind you, I'm
not freaked out... just trying to figure out the right rate for my current
situation before I do something dumb and hurt myself (e.g. lose muscle instead
of fat). 
  
 Last session with the trainer today, then I'll work on my own.  I'm not as
sore now as when I started, but I know I will not push myself as hard after
today's session, so I'm interested to see what happens.

<p>Having experimented with gluten-free for about two weeks when the IGlet was very little (at the behest of some quack to whom we quickly gave the boot) I can attest that wheat flour is a vital component to a happy life.  If it's truly a problem for you, you might find that insulin shots are a more acceptable tradeoff.   :)</p>

<p>Thanks, Fleeb.</p>
<p>The main thing about the starches is really to avoid the refined and most easily digestible stuff; you actually want the starches that have a high fiber content.  So for example, I switched to either zucchini noodles, chickpea pasta (surprisingly good!) or Barilla Plus (tons of fiber), if I just have to have the real thing.</p>
<p>The chickpea pasta is *not* completely starch free (it still has some brown rice and tapioca in it), but it's mostly made out of beans which are considered glycemic friendly.  https://www.amazon.com/Explore-Cuisine-Organic-Chickpea-Protein/dp/B01FORAKVW</p>

 My condolences concerning your father, and dramatic siblings.  I know I will
have to endure my own father's passing eventually, but I don't mind procrastinating
that as much as possible. 
  
 I've already been avoiding artificial sweeteners.  None of them taste especially
good to me anyway. 
  
 The bigger problem, though, are starches.  They're at least as bad as sugars,
but far more subtle.  I can't enjoy those anymore, either.  No pasta anymore,
which takes out a *lot* of foods I enjoy.  I figure I have to be careful with
potatoes and rice as well. 
  
 Adhering to a diet isn't as bad for me, having done it before, but it concerns
me to meet so many others who are diabetic and couldn't avoid these foods
I'm avoiding. 
  
 I mean, sure, I'm avoiding them now, and it doesn't seem so bad, but will
I be able to maintain this resolve for the rest of my life?  Looking at the
examples around
me, it seems harder than I'd think. 
  
 For me, the trick involves finding alternatives that I can enjoy without
the health risks.  There's tons of great food out there that won't (eventually)
kill me.  So, I should enjoy those, in moderation. 
  
 Exercising is another challange, though.  I'm not exactly an active person.
 But, I've been exercizing with a trainer for the last week now, and in about
another three sessions, I'll start working out on my own without a trainer.
 It's a tad harder for me, as I'm so badly out of shape my arms and legs remain
in sore pain for full days from the effort, but again, looking at a longer
term.

<p>What about the Princess Leia buns?</p>
<p>Sorry to hear about the diabetes, Fleeb.  An interesting tip from my nutritionist is to lose all the artificial sweeteners except Stevia.  Apparently, in the most recent studies it was the only one that did not negatively impact A1C.</p>
<p>In other news, my dad passed last week in Nashville.  :-(  As Aahz may remember, my siblings are not exactly on the drama-free side, so everything's been exacerbated by the unnecessary drama.  Or maybe that should read exasperating......</p>

 I've had some rather life changing moments recently. 
  
 A few days before Thanksgiving, I discovered I'm diabetic. 
  
 This is, of course, the perfect time to discover that you need to lose weight
and start exercising, before a series of holidays that often involve excessive
eating and belching in front of a television set. 
   
 Aaand, I went on vacation days after learning this, visiting my sister, without
having a chance to see my doctor about details. 
  
 Fortunately, there's a lot of material out there about type 2 diabetes. 
That's also kind of the problem, as it's a tad ovewhelming, but I don't have
to take it all in at one time... my life is not in immediate danger, and I
can make adjustments as I go along. 
  
 But, I'd say I spent a good bit of the holiday hungry, trying to limit my
intake of carbs. 
  
 Upon my return, I had to eat little to nothing for 48 hours in preparation
for the 50-mark colonoscopy.  Unfortunately, I did not realize you should
drink a *lot* of water, and was somewhat dehydrated when I arrived... making
it difficult for them to find a vein in which to stick the IV for knocking
me out. 
  
 Possibly as a consequence, the lady manning the knockout medicines gave me
perhaps a tad more oxygen than my nose liked, such that I had a ridiculous
series of sneezing fits for a few days after the procedure. 
  
 Still, I would prefer to sneeze than die, I suppose, so I won't hold it against
her. 
  
 Then, I finally had a chance to talk with my doctor about the lab results
that indicated my diabetic condition, and learned of other concerns for me
to address (too much of this, too little of that), much of which should resolve
themselves should I lose weight, with the possible exception of the cholesterol,
which might resolve itself due to my self-imposed
dietary changes in response to the diabetic condition, as I'm off most meats
again. 
  
 So, the moral of this story is that you should kill yourself sometime in
your fourties so you never grow old and ever have to deal with this kind of
crap.

 Do the PT.. Do the PT as much as you can and all the stretching exercises

The x-ray still shows a gap in the fibula that
hasn't completely filled in with solid bone yet, but that's where the plate
is, so it's not going to move around.  PT worked me really hard on Wednesday
once I told them I was PWB.  I can stand (but not walk) without crutches,
and I can spend my desk time basically stretching all day just by putting
my foot down on the floor.  It's been a good week. 
  
 I still can't flex much past a 90-degree bend (foot flat on the floor). 
Really hoping this will remediate with time.  Next year I may have to get
a screw or two removed (yes Aahz, I know you've got a bunch of jokes on deck
about how I've already got some screws loose) to restore the full range of
motion. 
  
 It's likely that I will be returning to the scene of the accident in November.
 I will ask to have the ladder brought out, and I will smash it to pieces
with
a sledgehammer.  I would like to do the same to Mark Zuckerberg, since the
accident was *clearly* Facebook's fault.

 And that "required by law" bit is the problem.  It turns out the wheelchair
operators don't work for the airline, and they don't work for the airport,
they work for an independent contractor that is grudgingly hired because it's
required by law. 
  
 Because of this, they don't care.  The one in DCA wasn't paying attention
and smashed my foot into a bollard, and then scolded me for not having the
foot sitting far enough back in the wheelchair's footrest.  (Gee, maybe it
had something to do with the GIANT F***ING BOOT on my surgical ankle not fitting
in the footrest??!) 
  
 But I've started PT and am already making some good progress.  I don't really
have pain anymore, just limited range of motion, which is also improving slowly.
 And yesterday the orthopedist said I
can start partial weight bearing (while in the boot of course) and also (finally!)
I can be out of the boot when I'm just sitting around.

 Just got back from Teh Doc a few hours ago.  The cast came off so they could
inspect the incisions, which I'm told are healing nicely.  Then another cast
went on.  I'll be back in two weeks and if things continue looking good they
are going to switch me to one of those robo-boot things, but it'll still be
quite a long time before I can put *any* weight on it. 
  
 Doc cleared me for "doing stuff" -- in other words, I can be out and about,
I can go to work if someone else drives me, I can go to church, or out to
dinner, or whatever, and that's cool.  I've also switched from a walker to
crutches.  Originally I felt wobbly on crutches but now I'm hopping around
nicely on them. 
  
 I was hoping to have some nice long chats with a good friend who I know has
been on crutches a couple of times, but he's not answering my texts.  :)

 Now that I have written permission from a doctor, that's what I'm doing.
 I got a note from the doc that says I can't drive to work or use public transportation,
but I can work from home and/or be driven to an office.  WC is absorbing my
medical expenses. 
  
 It's good for me to be doing a bit of work again.

 I could, of course, put myself on a heavy regimen of alcohol in advance of
any tooth emergency until Thursday when they expect to address the issue,
even though I am not experiencing any significant pain yet, but I worry that
such proactive exercizes could have a long-term effect in which I hold no
interest. 
  
 Not to mention all the code I'd need to rewrite after my tooth is pulled.

 I have a tooth steadily rotting in my head. 
  
 Apparently, it has reached a point of no return.  It cannot be recovered.
 I'm at risk of the thing just exploding with refreshing shitpiles of pain
if I don't get it out in time.  And that time, hopefully, is this Thursday.

  
 This is a consequence of not having a lower tooth to push on it to stay in
my mouth.  It has been dropping a little bit over time, to the point that
the roots have now become exposed. 
  
 I also learned that I'm something of a freak.  My front incisors meet evenly.
 Most people have a slight overbite.  This is causing extra damage to my front
incisors, as they bang against each other.  I'm going to blame fake news,
since that's trending lately.

 Right... so... I guess I've been a tad distracted. 
  
 A couple of weeks ago, my father had a heart attack... or... something. 
He blacked out, and when he woke up, he threw up on the feet of a lot of people
who were trying to figure out what happened to him. 
   
 He was rushed to a hospital where they performed a variety of tests to find
that an aortic valve was struggling to work properly.  It seems this valve
accumulated a lot of calcium deposits over the years, and finally couldn't
handle the extra effort anymore. 
  
 So, this past Tuesday, a surgeon replaced this valve with a pig's valve.
 He was released yesterday. 
  
 The bit where he passed out happened about a couple of hours from where I
live.  Melvin and I drove out there to help deal with some of my father's
(and his wife's) affairs, and drive them back to their home in New Jersey.

  
 I hadn't seen my father in 10 years.  Kind of a weird way to get reacquainted
with him.

school (New Jersey) that "ADHD" is a phoney condition conjured up for a couple
of reasons: 
  
 First, it generates a "classification" which can be used by school psychologists
(waste of a job and money) and "learning disabilities teacher consultants"
(yet another waste of time/money job) to funnel students into "Special Education"
classes and programs, all of which require mountainous amounts of useless
paperwork to be shuffled about by "professionals" allthewhile wasting taxpayer
money that could otherwise be spent on purchasing supplies and equipment for
the teachers to use in the classroom while teaching. 
  
 Second, and to me the most important, ADHD is a shield behind which hide
incompetent teachers who find it much easier to blame their lack of classroom
management skills on the kid. "He cannot learn like
the others; it's ADHD" or "he doesn't pay attention; his mind wanders; it's
ADHD" or any of the many similar comments I've heard and read over my 31 years
in the Education Game. 
  
 NONSENSE! Just about every kid that causes problems in the classroom is doing
that because he/she is BORED. YOU, the TEACHER, are the cause of that because
you have NO IDEA how to structure your lesson in an ENTERTAINING and mind-engaging
way. 
  
 It is not enough for the teacher to stand in front of the room and vomit
information, hoping the class will catch and consume it. 
  
 The first, and most essential job of a good teacher is to ENTERTAIN. And
within the context of the ENTERTAINMENT to deliver the content of the lesson.

  
 Do that, and the overwhelming majority of "problems" in the classroom evaporate
automagically.  
  
 Fail to do that and you deserve to be FIRED for INCOMPETENCE. Our kids deserve
more.

<p>There is not one source to that article that is credible. <br />And you can go any which way you want about ADHD, but when my (then) 6-year-old was telling me she wanted to kill herself because she wasn't smart, and she literally could not keep tush to chair for 2 minutes to learn how to read, maybe I took the easy way out, but as soon as we started the medication, she started learning how to read, to do math, getting her work done, making friends... <br /><br />Maybe I've set her up for a lifetime of addiction, but honestly, I'd rather her be addicted for a lifetime than dead... and you may think that suicide threats from a 6-year-old aren't serious, but I started thinking about suicide before I was 10, and I know exactly how serious it is. (3 times in the ER plus a psych hospitalization are only the most obvious manifestations.) </p>

 Yeah, if you read some of the stuff in the Apocrypha (sic?), it would certainly
make you wonder about Christianity. 
  
 Jesus as a child came off as a bit of a brat.  Arguing with his rabbi about
'how dare you try to teach me about the alphabet, I was there when it was
created' sort of stuff. 
  
 And the alternative world creation story featuring Lucifer as a really great
angel concerned for humanity was interesting.

of those texts. 
  
 The Scripture that is Not Malleable is that which is in the original language,
be it Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, or (a very small bit) Latin. 
  
 KJV says "and a man shall leave his mother and cling to his wife, and they
twain shall become one flesh." 
  
 Really? Go read the Aramaic, or have someone that can read Aramaic do that
for you and translate into contemporary English (or whatever your native language
may be, even Klingon!) and I think you'll be, if nothing else, a tad unsettled!

<p>The distinction is questionable, but for the purpose of his argumentation it makes sense. An objective, correct and definitive capital-T truth definition of both terms is likely impossible due to an infinite regressing "true scotsman" loop.</p>
<p>Funniest thing about the end of the article is, that Azlan promotes killing of ISIS militants while he criticizes Sam Harris for his (allegedly out-of-context) quote that "some propositions are so dangerous that it might be ethical to kill people for believing them." http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/on-the-mechanics-of-defamation</p>

 Hmm. 
  
 Someone has performed a study that shows DNA from your food makes it into
your bloodstream.  Some folks are citing this as a reason to avoid GMO foods.

  
 But nobody has identified how this DNA makes it into our blood-stream, and
it's iffy that this has any serious consequences (as in, consider if you ate

<p>Baby was born Tuesday night at ~10:30pm, Israel time.</p>
<p>She was named on Thursday morning. Her name is Moriya Rosa, Moriya is a name for the mountain on which the Temple stood in Jerusalem (Where currently the Muslims have the Dome of the Rock.) Rosa is after my husband's grandmother, Rose. </p>
<p>She was born at 3.33 kg. (7lbs, 5oz)</p>
<p>She had surgery to drain a blocked kidney on Thursday afternoon, and the surgery seems to have gone very well.</p>
<p>She came home this morning (Sunday), and is currently sleeping :)</p>
<p>The other kids are mostly just thrilled that mommy's home after I spent Sunday-Tuesday <span id="f805614b-4c77-43f4-8c5d-01a5f42ee6a9" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">having</span> the world's slowest induction. </p>
<p>At some point, I may write about the birth itself. Those of you who are on <span id="4bff3fe4-9199-4add-b47b-f38b0bb8e12d" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">facebook</span> may have seen us (my mother and me) live blogging up until about 2 hours before the birth, followed by a photo shortly after the birth. :)</p>

<p>Yeah, I had similar symptoms, over the course of 4 weeks. But they were no strokes, more like seizures induced by brain inflammation. Neither me nor the hospital personal had the quick-wittedness to use a mobile phone to record it. Experiencing the left half of your tongue going numb and your speech center changing to drunken mode suddenly out of nowhere is something that distracts you. I have lots of respect for the lady. My incompetent asshole doctor would have not benefitted much from that anyway.</p>

<p>Do not worry about the epidural. They tapped my spine like 10 times or so on various occassions, not for anesthetics, but to actually get some fluid samples. It does not really hurt much, it just can feel very odd. One time I felt almost completely nothing, one time the doctor was a bit rough and it hurt a bit. It just isn't as "nice" as a syringe in other body parts.</p>

I think everyone needs to find the exercise that works best
for them, then go for it.  
 I know it's "boring" but I love the treadmill in the mornings for the fact
that I don't have to get dressed, certainly not to go out in any weather,
I don't have to worry about walking on the streets and get honked at by obnoxious
drivers. I once had a car drive real close to the sidewalk, coming from behind
me so I didn't see them, and the passenger opened the door and reached out
to grab my ass while I was out jogging. It must have been an open window,
doesn't really make sense, to open a door while driving. Wrong angle. Anyway.
Also in my own basement, IF Yaakov wakes up early, I can still be available
immediately, and can pause the exercise till he leaves for school. And I can
blast my music without wearing ear buds in my ears.

<p>I think the best measure of whether you're fat or not is to stand up straight, suck in your gut, and see what you can wrap your fingers around. If it's more than a handful... well, I'm swimming a lot (2.5 km per swim 2-3/week), so I hope it'll get better.</p>

its place, sure, but I've seen too many people talk about gaining weight because
they dranks a huge glass of water or stripping naked to weigh themselves so
the number will be smaller. Wearing clothes and drinking water are not unhealthy,
but obsessing about the number sure sounds like it is.  
 Not saying you're doing that, dothebart, just sort of ranting.

by Yuval Levin
October 17, 2013

	Over the last few days, I have spoken in some detail about the 
state of the federal Obamacare exchanges with several officials of the 
Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (the HHS agency that is 
running the exchanges), and with a number of reasonably well placed 
insurance company officials in Washington. The picture they paint of how 
the rollout of the exchanges has gone is similar in its broad strokes to 
what has emerged in other reports in recent days, so I don.t think I.ll 
be breaking much news here, though some of the details have (I think) 
not been reported. For what it.s worth, I offer below the basics of what 
they had to say and some reflections on its implications. This is a long 
post, with apologies, but I thought some of the particulars would be of 
interest.

about halfway through and I'm reasonably horrified.  While I'm 
ideologically opposed to many aspects of the scheme, at a core level I 
don't actually WANT my government to fail this dramatically at something 
so terribly important to so many people; I just expect it.  If you'd 
asked me to make detailed, cynical predictions about what it would look 
like when Government took over the health care industry, it would be a
