Flubros and Flubras! Day 154 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Apparently there is a blood plasma treatment that involves taking antibody rich blood plasma from recovered CV patients and putting it in sick patients. Trump authorizes it’s use as of tonight, I believe. Since Trump authorizes it you can be sure that the media will give it the same treatment that it gave hydroxychloriquine. They will repeatedly say how dangerous it is no matter how safe it is. Blood transfusions and blood plasma don’t sound dangerous to me. People get them all the time. That idiot on CNN, Joe Scarborough will probably have the best hyperbole in describing this treatment’s dangers.

I really don’t care that much about treatments as I think healthy living saves many more lives than treatments. But I think some GOP politicians need some sort of treatment/placebo so that they can calm the panicky fearmoms and relax the lockdown. The Dems will just pick up on the media lies about the dangers of CV.

I had an idea years ago like that. Starts with a girl running in front of you. As you go along she starts shedding clothes till she's naked. And the last 1/4 mile she turns around and runs backwards.

1/4 mile seems kind of short, until one factors in that in such a scenario, the kickstand might impede further progress.

I seriously doubt your extra poundage is that bad compared to that of many Americans. I’m sure you see plenty of patients and think, “If they could only get down to my BMI....”

I have definitely been very flattering to Sweden over the past many months. I even said I would make fun of them for being socialist for the next 5 years.

Flubros and Flubras! Day 154 X 7,708 avg per day(2017 CDC) =

1,187,032 Total Deaths All Causes


Lot of excitement yesterday.

Start plasma treatment within 3 days of being diagnosed with CV

Be less than 80 years old

Not on a ventalator

It would improve your chances of survival by 35%(how many in the study population(age,gender,race?) would have survived anyway?)

So out of 100 people, 65 would still die.

$48 million Federal debt money spent so far in its development.

Earlier this year Remdesiver was touted by MSM/Fauci et al in intial study for reducing hospital stays by 2 days.

CDC Releases Interim Flu Vaccine Effectiveness Report

February 26, 2020 10:01 am Chris Crawford

"Specifically, the flu vaccine has been 50% effective against influenza B/Victoria viruses and 37% effective against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09."

snip

Antiviral medications can be a useful additional tool to fight influenza, Epling said, but they're limited by a lack of hard evidence that they improve important outcomes such as hospitalizations and deaths.

"They can improve symptom duration by a little less than a day, so I discuss the limitations with my patients who see me for flu, and tend to prioritize it for those who are at increased risk of bad outcomes with flu -- those with asthma, heart disease, etc. -- hoping that it will help," he said.

You're gambling, but still can't place a bet on HCQ? The better bet is to limit and delay until able to provide another revenue stream via IV by medical providers funded by Federal debt for viruses constantly mutating with efficiencies at the very best 50%?

What if airplanes or cars had a 50% failure rate?

“””I seriously doubt your extra poundage is that bad compared to that of many Americans. I’m sure you see plenty of patients and think, “If they could only get down to my BMI....”””


So if there is a failure of the food supply, the skeletors would die off first leaving those with extra poundage to outlast them who could then take all their stuff.

See, there’s hope.

But pack a gun in case a skeletor with some remaining spunk trys to eat you.

I thought you would be interested.
It is old but packed with all kinds of interesting tidbits.
Just finished watching Plandemic.
Wow. Oh wow.

Sweden is still on the worldometers/coronavirus/countries
list. When I tried to pull it up it took forever for the
country statistics to paint. At first all I saw listed was
countries that had reported deaths. Eventually, the countries
started to paint as well. Deaths per million for Sweden
are 575. They are the 5th highest per million on the list
even higher than the US. Here is the link for Sweden alone
which shows they had very high figures early on, and have
gotten much lower more recently. Same high death statistics
as others, however. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/
