Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

That happens when people practice common sense.

 

And when the White House takes control of reporting...

 

That's the whole issue. I don't think we can with the numbers where they currently are in parts of the country.

 

@gator95 , you can c’mon man me all you want, but here’s an example of the current situation in Ga:



The 10 closest CVS testing sites to me are booked for the next 3 days with a 6-10 day turnaround for results.why would anyone get a test If it’ll take over 2 weeks to get the results? Kemp has followed Trumps playbook every step of the way, I don’t think the man is capable of an independent thought. Trump insisted he was serious when he said if we test less well have fewer cases, may be the first honest statement he’s ever made.

 

I suspect that any credible court will agree with you if/when it is taken to that level.

 

two key elements.

young students (ie 10 and under)

protect the teachers (and rest of staff). If we are having a hard time protecting nurses and doctors how do you protect teachers and bus drivers and custodians

get rapid testing set up at $1 per test and let parents decide if it is worth $1 per day to send their kids to school or not. we don't seem to be that far away from that goal

 

this was referenced in the Den but news to me and bad news if true. 78% of 100 people aged 45 - 53 studied post covid recovery had inflammation of the heart. Need someone smarter than me to read and give a more thorough review

Outcomes of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients Recently Recovered From COVID-19

Key Points

Question What are the cardiovascular effects in unselected patients with recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)?

Findings In this cohort study including 100 patients recently recovered from COVID-19 identified from a COVID-19 test center, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed cardiac involvement in 78 patients (78%) and ongoing myocardial inflammation in 60 patients (60%), which was independent of preexisting conditions, severity and overall course of the acute illness, and the time from the original diagnosis.

Meaning These findings indicate the need for ongoing investigation of the long-term cardiovascular consequences of COVID

Conclusions
Taken together, we demonstrate cardiac involvement in 78 patients (78%) and ongoing myocardial inflammation in 60 patients (60%) with recent COVID-19 illness, independent of preexisting conditions, severity and overall course of the acute illness, and the time from the original diagnosis. These findings indicate the need for ongoing investigation of the long-term cardiovascular consequences of COVID-19.

 

It’s a terrific read by a talented reporter.

 

Denali critters..this fox was having a playful few minutes close to the bus and then walked to the top of a little hill for his head shot



had to crop the back half of the image though as he was taking a dump and seemingly smiling at us while he did it.

watched this young grizzly for maybe 10 minutes and I kept expecting to see the mother show up but he was all alone. Looked too small and immature to be alone. all the bears we saw were so blond in color this year. Inland bears are so much smaller than their coastal brethren



and here is a mom and 2nd year cub grazing on the grasses they seem to favor. can't figure out how to post a video from flickr

 

for comparison, here is a coastal grizzly from Katmai a few years back

 

Dude you got photo skillz. Seriously.,

On a different note, and apologies for using the same comment, Louis Gohmert's daughter calls him/Trump out.

 

thanks, just a hobby and to help me remember all the places we have been fortunate enough to travel. that bear is one of my favorite you looking at me shots, especially the crop. He just walked around like he had an attitude.

wonder if the tweet is indicative of the severity of his illness.

 

Good question. Didn't even think about like that. Don't know. All I know is that the other day he blamed *wearing a mask* and then said he was going to be taking HQC.

 

On the wildlife note . . . juvenile coyote in our backyard.

 

Surprised this was not taken at the end of a scope

 

Not sure what you mean, or maybe just a joke. I'm not a gun owner.

 

They are big pest
