Two dozen more cases of the SA variant have been detected since the last update.

Aside from b117 which has been dominant for months, other variants of concern are still spreading but not so much as the SA variant.

Manaus is “very likely” to dominate in Portugal

The possibility that the Brazilian variant may spread in Portugal is real, “if containment measures are not taken, such as social distance and even vaccination, which may contain the expansion of this new variant,” continued the specialist. On Sunday, the first seven cases of the Brazilian variant in national territory were confirmed.

Tennessee is another state where new cases have gone up significantly from last Wednesday to this Wednesday. One day of data is not a trend but it's a bad sign.


780 new cases last Wednesday

Israel has caught my interest. Cases rising, is it because people are not taking as much care now that much of the population has been vaxxed or could it be the first sign of a troubling new variant borne from the selection pressure of the vaccinateds.

Israeli researchers say spirulina algae could reduce COVID mortality rate

The algae has been shown to reduce inflammation.


A team of scientists from Israel and Iceland have published research showing that an extract of spirulina algae has the potential to reduce the chances of COVID-19 patients developing a serious case of the disease.

The research, published in the peer-reviewed journal Marine Biotechnology, found that an extract of photosynthetically manipulated Spirulina is 70% effective in inhibiting the release of the cytokine TNF-a, a small signaling protein used by the immune system.

Coronavirus causes the immune system to release an excessive number of TNF-a cytokines... resulting in what is known as a cytokine storm. The storm causes acute respiratory distress syndrome and damage to other organs, the leading cause of death in COVID-19 patients.

 Quoting: ParamedicUK


It is so nice to be here and not have to listen to George claim otherwise when the numbers don't lie...but debating him was akin to banging your head on a brick wall...
 Quoting: P-E Georgia Geoprepper



I have to be honest and say that he helped me yesterday. I am repeating the story here in case anyone missed it or the information on the other thread.

My husband is a naval officer stationed in Italy, and he will have to have a vaccine for an upcoming mission in May. It is not the US government or the Italian government requiring it, by the way. I want to make that clear. Another country's ship is involved, so it's their mandate.

In George's many posts yesterday, he mentioned that if you don't want to take the mRNA vaccine, then wait for the Johnson & Johnson one, which apparently is not mRNA and is also one dose. He said it would be emergency approved this week.

I didn't know the J&J vaccine was not mRNA. I asked George a couple of questions, and he was nice to me and provided some answers.

Today the news indicates that the J&J vaccine will be emergency approved by the end of the week.

We were able to make some phone calls to the hospital on base today to ask them if they are going to get the J&J vaccine. They don't know, but I'm hopeful they will get it. If my husband has to get a vaccine, I want it to be the J&J (non-mRNA) one.

Sorry for the wall of text. I hope this may help someone else who might not be on the other thread. :)

I have a strange feeling that the UK is sleep walking into a potential summer of chaos. The media outlets are all focusing on the feel good headlines of a Mask free summer and music festivals. Once this seeps into the psyche of the general public people’s guards are going to start dropping.

I hope I’m being overly cautious but it feels very premature to celebrate right now. Until schools reopen we won’t know for sure what the situation is.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79088381


I totally agree, I feel very uneasy about this. I guess I can accept we may have to learn to live with a certain level of the virus in circulation but I really don’t think this month is the time to take this action. May maybe, but not March.

Cross-posted from main big thread:

Remember in about September, the ridiculous drive to get everyone vaccinated against flu??

I was saying to my family, and probably also on this thread, that I didn't believe there would BE a flu season this winter.
I was right.

Important because there are several papers showing that those vaccinated against flu have a higher propensity for Coronavirus infection than those who are unvaccinated. Odd that it works out like that, but that's the science.
(skeptics, please look back in this thread to around 23-30 Sept 2020 for the papers..)

(23 Feb 2021)
Not a single case of flu detected by Public Health England this year ...

1 day ago ... Not a single case of influenza has been detected by public health officials in England for the past seven weeks, with infection rates at historic lows...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78062583


One of the suggestions given by Dr. Paul Cottrell (one of his videos was posted here recently) was sars-cov2 is a stronger virus than the flu, and as a result after you've been infected with sars-cov2 in the short-term you are less susceptible to infection from the flu. He managed to explain it more eloquently than I can, but that was the gist of what he said.

Aside from that, the one thing to keep in mind is the R rate of flu in normal times is about 1.4. Therefore all these covid restrictions and mitigations would have likely knocked the R rate way below zero and made it very hard for flu to spread.
 Quoting: CoronaCoaster


Until influenza calls itself into a huddle and comes up with a new game plan. I had the thought a while back about Sars-COV 2 forcing influenza to mutate. And thats how the real-life Stand starts in 2024
