**** 1983

In 1983 Dr. Birx, during child birth, told her husband, not to give her blood. That blood later said to be HIV blood.

Another drug report:

“Actemra”

For Padgett, the drug began to lower his inflammation levels and his blood oxygen levels increased.

After a week he was well enough to be taken off life support.

Actemra was first cleared by the FDA as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arteritis and CRS associated with CAR-T cell therapies for cancer.

Some overwhelming serenity here! Earlier this afternoon, our little flock of free range chickens started making a huge racket and I rushed out to investigate, to find of all things a red fox in the yard. One group of chickens was attempting to hide near the house and another was scattering away from the fox, but none were yet “in mouth”, so to speak. Our dog was still asleep!! I had not grabbed the .22 rifle on the way out - lucky for the fox, as he just stood there and looked at me until I rushed him, yelling, and then he took off. I turn around and our dog is lazily rousting himself, making a big stretch and looking at me as if still half asleep. (Maybe he was.) I said a few choice words to the effect of “some **** good YOU are!”, went in and got my daughter, and we surveyed the yard: No batch of feathers and no chickens missing. They were lucky!

When I ran out I expected the chickens had been spooked by a hawk (even a vulture flying over can do it), or maybe a stray dog. The red fox in daytime really surprised me. One more thing to worry about - sheesh!

[LilFarmer]

I feel your pain, we have an fox stalking our chickens. We set up a field cam and we see him within minutes after we close them up for the night. We’ve lost a few birds, maybe to the fox or maybe coyote. So we have a trap set up now, it’s like a snare... it won’t kill or hurt him, but we will go down with the 22 if we catch him.

Putting here for discussion, I don’t know enough to know what I think...

A new study found people age 50 and older are around 2-and-a-half times more likely to develop a severe case of COVID-19.

Study Calculates Just How Much Age, Medical Conditions Raise Odds Of Severe COVID-19

[Black Agnes]

The 50-65 age group are the managers, business owners, supervisors. The ones who own and run things.

And your point is????

[Black Agnes]

That sounds like a super duper group to make sure gets infected.

That sounds like a super duper group to make sure gets infected.

If they( age 50+ demo ) can stay home and isolate themselves voluntarily then why does Jimmy Youngman, age 20 at almost no risk have to also? The one size fits all makes NO GD sense.
