Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Vaccines
Treatments
Milder strain
Lot more testing

 

Testing the only thing, the ONLY thing that is prolonging pan-panic.

 

Cases are meaningless. The PCR is literally calibrated to detect segments of a mental construct,

 

Suggest ignoring the "there is no such thing as viruses" posts. Just lengthens the thread and adds nothing useful

 

@tilly - it is one thing for a troll to start his own troll thread and others follow them there but it is quite another when the trolls starts trolling a well established thread that at least attempts to have intelligent conversation. I’ll put him on ignore but I’ll ask is there any limit to how far a troll can go in this forum?

 

suggest ignoring the ignore the no such thing as virus threads, just adds to the length.....

 

Lol look at you jumping to defend the “viruses aren’t real” guy. Checks out that he’d be on your team.

 

man, sarcasm goes over your head..

 

The status of viruses as real or not may be in question, but there is no question that really stupid Americans are real. Further, the beauty of that statement is that regardless of which side of the political divide you sit on, you almost certainly agree.

 

please stop feeding dreamliner. He's trolling you.

 

It is him right? I mean if not its his forum doppelganger. Absurd. Narcissistic, contrarian and creator of his own facts.

Uncanny.

 

covid brain fog may be a precursor to early onset alzheimer..scary thought

COVID SCIENCE-Alzheimer's-like changes found in COVID patients' brains; flu shot, mRNA booster safe together (msn.com)

People who die of severe COVID-19 have brain abnormalities that resemble changes seen in Alzheimer's disease - accumulation of a protein called tau inside brain cells, and abnormal amounts of the protein beta-amyloid that accumulates into amyloid plaques - small studies have found.

At Columbia University, Dr. Andrew Marks and colleagues studied the brains of 10 COVID-19 patients and found defects in proteins called ryanodine receptors that control the passage of calcium into cells. In Alzheimer's disease, defective ryanodine receptors are linked to accumulation of tau into so-called neurofibrillary tangles. These tangles were present in high levels in the COVID-19 patients' brains, the Columbia team reported on Thursday in Alzheimer's & Dementia Error - Cookies Turned Off. Other research teams have looked for - and found - abnormal amyloid levels in brains of COVID-19 patients, according to reports posted online ahead of peer review on bioRxiv SARS-CoV-2 invades cognitive centers of the brain and induces Alzheimer's-like neuropathology and on The Lancet's preprint server Β-Amyloid Deposits in Young COVID Patients by C. Harker Rhodes, David S. Priemer, Esma Karlovich, Daniel P. Perl, James Goldman :: SSRN.

In all the studies, patients had experienced the most severe forms of COVID-19. If similar changes are occurring in the brains of patients with milder illness, that might help explain the "brain fog" associated with long COVID, Marks said. Patients with severe COVID-19 might be at higher risk for dementia later in life, but it is too soon to know, he added. His advice: Get a booster vaccine and avoid the virus. "If you get COVID-19, you probably won't die, but we still don't know a lot about the long-term effects."

Sen. Rand Paul says mask mandates were always about 'submission' | Fox News

SEN. RAND PAUL: You know, I think the dirty little secret is it's always been more about submission. It's always been more about collectivism. It's been about growing government power over your lives because the science has been clear for a long time on masks for children. Sweden didn't have their school kids wear masks at all. Not one child died. The incidence of the disease and the teachers did not rise, with the kids not wearing masks. I mean, it's sort of, you know, I worry about the future of America if the Europeans are leading us toward freedom. The Canadians are ahead of us in trying to unwind mandates. But yes, for goodness sakes, we've got to stop the ridiculous mandates on children that Dr. Emanuel, that you put forward saying that kids are dying from omicron. The statistics are this and the science is this. The wild variant was a thousand times less deadly for kids than 80-year-olds, and it's become progressively less dangerous to the delta, to the omicron.

As far as whether you vaccinate your kids, that's up to you. But there should be no mandate. And I think particularly for young males, the evidence is pretty strong now that the more vaccines you give young males, the higher their incidence of myocarditis. I personally, if you were asking me about your children, I would get them checked first to see if they've already had COVID. If a child has already had COVID, I don't think they need any treatment.

 

Rand Paul's neighbor needs to knock him out again.

 

US Omicron death rate 63% higher than other wealthy negations.

FREEDOM!!

U.S. Has Far Higher Covid Death Rate Than Other Wealthy Countries

 

Yes, that's what the unhinged leftist resort to is violence

 

But the Pubs would claim he was simply exercising his 1st amend. rights.

 

This is going over my head?

 

American Exceptionalism baby!
