Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

They put it on the day of the report. Worldometer tries to put it on the date of the test. Either way, there were well over a million cases over the weekend.

 

yeah, but the public hears 1.4 million instead of 850,000 and it is quite a different reaction,imo. if they are not going to breakdown weekend and holiday numbers reported later they should run a disclaimer saying there are more than 1 day's worth of numbers included in their figures, just my 2cents.

 

yeah,there were 1.5 million cases over 2 days, not 1.4 in 1 day, 750,000 in 2 seperate days

 

They would be lower on some days and higher on other days. There is a reason that every website uses a 7-day moving average. It equates out the reporting differences. I really don't think the public is going to look at 850K cases in a day and have a drastically different reaction. It is a massively out-of-control virus either way.

 

i just think the phrase " 1 million " resonates with the public more than x-number of hundred thousand.

 

Than why are more and more studies coming out showing even those with prior common cold coronavirus infections provide a T cell response to non spike protein parts of Covid-19?

T Cells from Past Coronavirus Infections Show Protection against SARS-CoV-2

 

My wanting to space them out had nothing to do with autism. Just knowing enough from nursing, etc, that while safe it is taxing as far as the fevers, etc, so it was to keep them from having such a rough time...and so I could sleep! LOL

Frankly I always thought the preservatives for the mutl-shots could've been an issue but I think most manufacturers have changed that over the years.

 

Thimerosal, a preservative, with traces of mercury, got a lot of attention and was thrown out as a cause of autism. Numerous studies disproved that, but nonetheless it was eliminated from childhood vaccines in very early 2000's. It still may be in flu shot.

 

If the common cold provides natural immunity, why are millions worldwide dying from covid? I'd assume most everybody has had a common cold.

I don't doubt what the article is saying, but it gets to one issue with natural immunity. Some people have these t cells. Others less so. Natural immunity can lead to fairly wide outcomes in terms of immunity. It may be great or it may barely exist.

I have read that they are targeting vaccines that go beyond using the spike protein.

US Army Creates Single Vaccine Against All COVID & SARS Variants, Researchers Say

 

The vast majority are 75 plus or have serious health issues. Less than 1% of Americans who get Covid even end up in the hospital. That stat was true even before vaccines. Omicron will lower that much more as well.

 

DC, starting this weekend before you leave your house but I'm certain this is nothing to worry about...

 

Don’t often get a chance to compliment DT but this is a good statement.

“Well, I’ve taken it,” said Trump. “I’ve had the booster. Many politicians…they don’t want to say it. Because they’re gutless. You gotta say it – whether you had it or not. Say it. But the fact is that I think the vaccines saved tens of millions throughout the world.”

Trump Rips 'Gutless' Politicians Who Won’t Say If They've Had Vaccine Booster: 'Say It'

 

Our local hospitals are experiencing 10 HR wait times.

Denton County ERs experiencing up to 10-hour wait times

I know this is antithetical but I could see the value in a 2 week shut down of most things just to even things out.

Too bad he didn’t do this day 1.

Wasn’t he also one of those politicians? He didn’t admit he got the original shot either! Not until we’ll after the fact. He always qualified his support for the vaccine previously.

But I guess the MAGA mob doesn’t like him even saying this (boos). He would deserve credit if it were genuine, cynically my assumption would be this “change of heart” is a political calculation.

 

Agreed. Good on Trump for doing that.

 

Biden should call him and thank him for his leadership on the issue. I'm serious.

 

Better late than never.

 

Have they done any tests to look at your sister’s lungs for damage or cardiovascular issues? Previous variations of the virus can affect lung tissues and endothelial cells. If they check, they may be make to help her.

 

Half truths, again.

Here's the actual DC mandate:

DC Enacts Vaccine Mandate For Certain Indoor Establishments

No. People will not be required to wear a mask or show their vaccination status when leaving the house. They may need to show vaccination status and where a mask when entering certain establishments.

@g8trjax - did you research the mandate this prior to sharing the meme?
