How many molars do you need, especially later in life?

I’m fine missing one, and I have a big expanse back in my mouth that I don’t have to floss!

Well, whatever effort you think is justified.

Would be great, but could be a chimers.
A prophylaxis for ALL viruses. What a great tool!
(Apparently, it didn’t succeed against cancer though.)

True. But, now you know how I feel. It wasn’t supposed to be that deep.

I guess you’re right about the current situation. The virus might find an opening to exploit there.

My self extraction was more than five years ago. I still fondly remember the crunch of the pliers ;).

From his link above...


Aptamers are short single-stranded oligonucleotides that are capable of binding various molecules with high affinity and specificity. When the technology of aptamer selection was developed almost a quarter of a century ago, a suggestion was immediately put forward that it might be a revolutionary start into solving many problems associated with diagnostics and the therapy of diseases. However, multiple attempts to use aptamers in practice, although sometimes successful, have been generally much less efficient than had been expected initially. This review is mostly devoted not to the successful use of aptamers but to the problems impeding the widespread application of aptamers in diagnostics and therapy, as well as to approaches that could considerably expand the range of aptamer application. “

So people are giving Trump a hard time about his comments today, but I actually thought it was a a reasonable question for a non medical person about UV light inside. I mean, we put cameras into stomachs, etc.

Here is a company using UV blood treatments https://bornclinic.com/service/ultraviolet-blood-treatment/

NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (WPRI) — A food processing facility at the Quonset Business Park has become a COVID-19 hotspot in Rhode Island, WPRI 12 has learned.

Taylor Farms New England, which makes salad and other fresh foods for grocery stores, has had about 100 cases of the disease associated with its North Kingstown plant, R.I. Department of Health spokesperson Joseph Wendelken said in an email

The Hill is the closest to a media org giving him a hard time by deceit.

Lots of Twitter liberal are having fun with him though.

I hope this doesn’t mean that media has learned not to take Trump’s bait. It’s so funny when they do!

It would be just like Trump to have read that study before making his remarks. LOL

The Moscow paper is good. I checked out the other major team member. They haven't had a publication since 2017. They are a bit of a patent mill.

I just hope something comes along in the next couple of years. This novel virus is not going away.

I hate to see an uptick just as things are opening up.

Today's case increase is about the same as yesterday's spike.

Unless we find a cure, or vaccine, the coronavirus will slowly infect most of the world's population who don't take personal protections seriously. And I don't know how long we can continue these unprecedented containment measures. I'm not sure even Korea will be able to do so for much longer. Certainly the US seems ready to abandon most of what is in place.

Another thing that worries me are the long term consequences of having had the virus, like permanent organ damage, infertility, and the virus reemerging in the body.

For the elderly (most of FR) the coronavirus will remain a significant threat. The CFR is anywhere for 3.4% to 18%, depending upon which age group the elderly fall into. That's not changing for the foreseeable future, barring a cure.

Average age of all country populations are likely dropping noticeably in coming months. And unless we can develop the medicine to mitigate this pathogen very soon, the world for the next few months and years will increasingly seem alien.

This is a long way from being over. :(

my guess? not peta, laraza - illegal workers recently hired are hiding that they’re sick and going to work anyway, as packers increase hiring for third shifts but without somehow incorporating social distancing into the lines

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/food-workers-meat-coronavirus-sick

““We are all afraid,” said Maria, who works on the evisceration line at a Tyson plant in Arkansas and asked to be identified by her first name. “The problem is if people feel sick, they’re not going to say anything because they need the money. They don’t want the points.”

My BIGGEST hope is for a general virus, or coronavirus, treatment/cure to come out of this.
Lot of money out there!
