The most amazing thing is in the last week and a half we went from no boosters, to a booster at eight months, to a booster at six months, and now this morning Biden said they are thinking about a booster at five months. Add to that the CDC director was asked if they they data supporting boosters, she literally said we have hope but no data.
My first guess for the particulate matter is metal shavings from some equipment in the production line experiencing wear.
I saw Dr Lee Merrit’s presentation for Front Line Doctors. Quite good and to the point.
All the Summit Sessions videos are on their website here; https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/videos/
Just scroll down a little ways until you see all the Summit Sessions vids.
Mark McDonald’s presentation was also good and is based on the psychological effects of the whole thing and the path going forward for a society that has created a bunch of mini totalitarians and a few big ones.
I wonder if anyone is keeping this statistic: Rate of Covid-19 fatalities and hospitalizations among professed (and practicing) anti-vaccers who are not hermits.
Good Lord, there ARE some people with valid health reason to not get vaccinated. My wife and I quadruple checked in my daughter’s case, and again for a friend’s teenager. (Risk factors both ways, but, 4:0, getting Covid + added factor is the higher risk.) But, we have people on here listening to complete anti-vacc nuts. Or maybe they are nuts themselves. I’ll bet not one has actually pounded the pavement (whatever the means, but on a personal level) to actually see what’s happening in the communities around them.)
On a happier note, my request for discussion of monoclonal antibodies made it to an interview of a doc, as a “viewer question” on a “local” TV station. (Actually near-fringe reception.) I pray the info. helps someone. One of the regional health networks has also put up a pretty good page, tho’ information in general about availability is still weak.

(I should check back on SEMO, W. KY, and W. TN.)
KY is VERY Covid “hot”. However, bed demand in both S. IL and W. KY has either eased slightly at present, or a few more beds have been “created”. (That’s per TV reports — they actually state ICU numbers and percentages on some stations here!) Formal numbers usually lag a couple weeks.
Both KY and particularly IL are really ramping up the mandates. MO, not so much, but Covid education is still weak everywhere... except for that one station doing the long interviews and discussions gets maybe 50% of the way “there”. I guess mandates are “easier”. Grrrrrr.....
You evidently didn’t get the full scoop.
This will make you effectively immortal (if the repair technician-Cyborgs like you.)
The disadvantage is that you grow an “off” switch.
(Do I need to add “/s”? Probably.)
“KY is VERY Covid “hot”. However, bed demand in both S. IL and W. KY has either eased slightly at present, or a few more beds have been “created”.”
Both could well be true.
It is common to expand ICUs with more beds, in contingencies.
Also, several of the places that saw the earliest surges of the Delta wave (such as Springfield, MO), have already started downward from their peak of new cases.
It is looking like the Delta Wave of new cases may have peaked Nationally on the 18 August. Local peaks will come earlier or later than the average.
“On a happier note, my request for discussion of monoclonal antibodies made it to an interview of a doc, as a “viewer question” on a “local” TV station.”
I think it is pretty clear that a timely antibody infusion is the strongest tool available against a COVID infection - the Gold Standard.
Anything that helps that get done on time, can literally be a lifesaver.
It will be hard to keep up when the injections become monthly. Injection of the month club.
