Emergency medical technicians are quitting their jobs — COVID-19 makes it too dangerous
...
Oren Barzilay, president of the FDNY-EMS Local 2507, representing New York City medics, said that a record 60 or so EMTs — many of them over the age of 50 — have left the department since March.
“Some people like to complete 30 years on the job so they can maximize their pension, but I noticed a trend in recent weeks that they aren’t really concerned about that anymore. As soon as they reach their eligibility, which is 25 years, they are leaving,” he said.

There have been many studies posted on this thread. If you are so interested in research, you should read this thread daily to stay up to date.
Here are just a few of the studies but I have posted 100s of articles and studies of long term effects of cv.

“@GreningerLab
realized it was possible to look back at pre-boarding serology to see if pre-existing antibodies affected who got infected. (5/9)...
During the outbreak, 0 of 3 with the neutralizing antibodies were infected, and 103 of 117 without neut antibodies were infected. This is highly significant by Fisher’s exact test.”
Interesting to see some initiative.
Safest place to live wrt coronavirus right now is in either co-op city, bronx, or several neighborhoods in queens.
Serology indicates north of 60% positivity for cv antibodies now.
(what happened to their T-cells??? do those neighborhoods not have t-cells?)

” Terrific news that SalivaDirect gained
@US_FDA
approval today! A major step forward for lab based #COVID19 diagnostics.
I’ll explain why this is good for DIAGNOSTICS but also why this is not widescale RAPID testing. Both are needed. Saliva use does not equal rapid testing”
Was some confusion, so.
Thanks, I’ll have to read up on that.
Vladimir Putin’s daughter DIES after second dose of COVID vaccine
Vladimir Putin’s daughter suffered unexpected side effects to the experimental Russian COVID vaccine, and has passed away in Moscow. The Kremlin has yet to make a statement on her death. A source within Russia’s inner circle stated that Putin’s daughter – Katerina Tikhonova – suffered a rise in temperature shortly after her second injection, and then suffered a seizure. Doctors were not able to reverse the side-effects of the vaccine, and she was pronounced dead late yesterday evening.
