This 21-year-old thought he had overcome a mild case of COVID-19. Then he went into organ failure
Hospital chief warns even mild COVID-19 cases can lead to chronic health problems
Most people have no clue hospitalizations are that long. They assume patients are in and out in three days and are perfectly well.
Smart woman for quitting.
I know, right? As a nurse what else could she do. There was a lot on her shoulders.
The school wasn’t doing anything close to the guidelines (see the student’s pic at this link https://twitter.com/ihateiceman/status/1290728743263252480/photo/1 ) As someone responsible for student health, and who looks like a high risk person herself (see her pic), personally and professionally, it’s a real can of worms for her.
Think of the harm to the pharma bottom line if Americans weren’t obese and diabetic with high blood pressure...
I’m not kidding.
Right. Why get Americans to take measures to reduce their risk when they can make billions on a vaccine (who cares if it works or not)

TX positivity now up to 23.92%. Schools are beginning to start. Why they’re starting early is crazy. Normally, they start statewide Aug. 20 to have all the football games coordinated. Our local school was going to start the 17th but they put it back to the 20th.
There is a Dr. Pepper shortage. That’s like a state disaster. No reason given.
Clorox is reporting it has increased it’s production 50% for wipes. Predicts the shortage to last until next year. We haven’t had any since the first of Feb. I was able to score 2 early on. No bleach here since Feb. until recently and that would be some off brand.
Zero Lysol products since the very beginning.
We have Dr. Pepper here but no Pibb. We haven’t been able to get Coke Zero for a while except the mini cans. Jerky is hard to get. Paper towels are hit or miss. It’s strange each week what is available and not.
Study reveals immune-system paralysis in severe COVID-19 cases

We were saying this back in February.

Coronavirus may spread much farther than 6 feet in indoor spaces with poor ventilation
Analyzing air samples in a hospital room, Lednicky’s team found infectious virus can spread through the air — up to 16 feet away from an infected patient — through tiny droplets called aerosols.
20 percent of Alabama’s COVID-19 patients under 18 have been admitted to the ICU
“Most of the rapid home tests look for a virus protein called an antigen, instead of replicating virus DNA like the standard lab test that can take several days to report results. These lab tests are highly sensitive, and can detect even a small amount of the virus—but are expensive and time-consuming, requiring labs and technicians.
* Rapid at-home antigen tests would allow individuals to spit in a tube and wait just 15 or 20 minutes for a result. * “
Problem is that FDA is blocking the use of these, even under an EUA, by requiring they be 90% as accurate as PCR test, and include notification to health authorities.
A 50% accuracy is all that’s needed to make these quick, cheap tests very effective for public health use.
FDA is killing people by blocking these tests from reopening schools. Without surveillance opening schools just gives the virus a new pathway to spread.
I managed to get 3 coke zero’s this afternoon, pickup.
They’re hit and miss around these parts.
I found actual clorox at walmart (pickup) a cpl weeks ago, but they were limit 1. They haven’t been back in stock since.
Forget lysol or lysol wipes...those are like hens teeth. I managed to get 6 containers of the wipes back at the end of January and 4 jars of the concentrate then too. Picked up another one the 2nd week of February. Hopefully that will last me a year until they start distributing it again.
Dude.
They WANT the virus to spread.
It’s all about saving social security. From those currently on it...and get rid of enough of those who are due to collect it in the next 10-15 years...
