Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Good news if this turns out to be true:

"Single dose of REGEN-COV (1,200 mg subcutaneous) reduced the risk of COVID-19 by 81.6% during the pre-specified follow-up period (months 2-8), maintaining the 81.4% risk reduction previously reported during month 1

During the 8-month assessment period there were 0 hospitalizations for COVID-19 in the REGEN-COV group and 6 in the placebo group."

 

If someone makes up lies I will continue to call them out. If it warrants to call them a fear monger I will do it. Have a good day.

 

I figure that you are aware that you're about 60 years late on that. But then, the horror of those 60 years. SMH

 

My 8-year old got his first dose Saturday, around 6 pm. Just felt sore Saturday night. Yesterday, he didn't feel well. Had a fever, likely over 100, and took naps throughout the day. Fever broke around dinner time, and he had a big bowl of pasta for dinner. Complained his stomach didn't feel great as he went to bed, but no issue there. Woke up this morning feeling almost 100%, with just his arm a tiny bit sore.

24 hours of not feeling great on a lazy Sunday. A very small price to pay for another level of protection, not just for my son, but for his grandparents, who we are visiting over Thanksgiving. Too bad the second dose won't happen until the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but can't do anything about that. And we are being as safe as possible by giving my son the jab.

And you think my son is the guinea pig? So are all kids who contracted COVID. We have no idea what effects getting the virus will have on people, including kids, 2 years from now. Five years from now, or decades from now. COVID could have a chickenpox type effect has with shingles. Now, ask yourself, which is more likely to have effects years from now? A vaccine with a single strand of mRNA? Or an entire virus containing that same strand of mRNA, plus a full, viral genome?

If you think your kid won't get infected, that just isn't reality. Here's a Brit expert testifying why kids should get vaccinated. His argument is 50% of UK kids have already been infected, but to protect all kids, they should get vaccinated because it would cut pediatric COVID cases by over 60%, at minimum, because kids with no immunity will get vaccine immunity. And those who got COVID early have waning immunity, that the vaccine will work as a booster.

 

Hey how many years did we test and wait with prior vaccines before mass vaccinating people let alone children?
Also, all the vaccines we currently use for children are for viruses and diseases far more dangerous to children than covid. On top of this fact, they are far more seasoned.

 

You would think this would end the "long covid" talk, but we know some on here will continue to say it exists until they die on that hill.

Big French study published in JAMA finds that the only "long COVID" symptom associated with lab-confirmed infection was loss of smell.

Association of Self-reported COVID-19 Infection and SARS-CoV-2 Serology Results With Persistent Physical Symptoms

The findings of this cross-sectional analysis of a large, population-based French cohort suggest that persistent physical symptoms after COVID-19 infection may be associated more with the belief in having been infected with SARS-CoV-2 than with having laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection. Further research in this area should consider underlying mechanisms that may not be specific to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. A medical evaluation of these patients may be needed to prevent symptoms due to another disease being erroneously attributed to “long COVID.”

 

The modern GOP is a death cult.

U.S. Covid Deaths Get Even Redder

 

Different for other diseases that are endemic already. We haven't had a massive pandemic of a new virus since 1918.

 

Salk's vaccine was tested for only a year in the 50's, had the inactivated virus in it, and in the large scale test was given to 600K children. We have a much more contagious pandemic-causing virus that has been given 4 billion times, it has no virus in it, and we have 70 more years of vaccine use. In a pandemic , the luxury of waiting for "seasoned" is deadly to many ( over 700k Americans) including children. There is also some evidence that some long term issues with covid exposure might be significant in children as well.

 

2 Factors to consider above all else.
1. Age is the number 1 issue with covid.
2. Obesity level of each state. For example, a state with a healthy population will do better than a state with an obese population. I think if you did it that way you would find a lot of answers.

 

7 day average for new cases lowest since july 26, 7 day death average lowest since august 16. guess lord fauci is in hibernation, no bad news to lecture down to us on, good ridance,imo.

 

Coronavirus has been around and in humans for decades.

Yet those who had SARS in the early 2000s showed their body mount an aggressive T and B cell response once they contracted covid 19.

Unfortunately, we had a man-made virus get leaked that was designed to be more infectious.

 

so now los angeles is demanding proof of vaccination to go indoors. reason, they say cases are rising despite the 7 day average in california lowest since july 20th, now i know where lord fauci went.

 

Coronavirus has been around forever. But Sars-Cov-2, or COVID-19 was first isolated as a human infectious virus in 2019. (That's where the 19 comes from.) COVID-19 is highly unlikely to be a human made pathogen. All human research contains trackable, genetic markers, and COVID-19 shows no signs of these markers at all. None.

It is believed that those who had SARS in the early 2000s showed some response against the wild type of COVID. But the Delta variant is a game changer. It's absolutely no surprise that a virus mutates into a new variant. That's what viruses do. The infect a host to make copies of itself, and those copies often contain errors, or mutations. And if a mutation is actually a benefit to the virus, the mutated variant, with the advantage, becomes the dominant strain.

 

one month ago 7 day average was 152,000. today it is 62,000. a 60% drop, gee i guess all the no maskers indoors were not a problem, right LA and fauci?

 

Why do you think it dropped?

 

California is much more than just L.A. L.A. County posted their requirements to end the mask mandate, and this article it states the weekly average in the county of COVID cases per 100,000 rose. Not a huge raise from 72 per 100,000 to 80 per 100,000, but a rise nonetheless. And above the target 50 per 100,000 that the county as stated as the goal to end mask mandates.

 

certainly not from mask wearing, on a daily basis 60-70% of the people i see are not wearing them. how about vaccinations, herd immunity, people have gotten it already and built up anti-bodies.time for lord fauci and sleepy joe to admit things are much better, not time to curtail civil liberties and handcuff businesses to follow unneeded mandates like masks indoors and forced vaccinations.

 

have a feeling LA is going catch-22, lowering the percentages as they are almost met, got to please liberals who faun at the feet of lord fauci.

 

What percentage of LA do you think has had Covid?
