Sars Cov 2 … the grinder continues to eat away at resources and humanity.

I don't really think they are testing much anymore,
my youngest (34) is in the hospital, original symptoms were fever for more than a week , muscle aches, respiratory issues and a slew of other Covid symptoms and was so weak i couldn't get him to the truck, he is 6'2, 240 #'s, so had to call 911 for an Ambulance, he has a bad infection through out his body and in most organs including the heart, they never tested him for Covid and they were right i guess? but i thought since he is not Vaccinated it would have been the first thing they did, anyway he has Mrsa and not doing very well, so far we know he will be in the Hospital for at least 5 weeks longer, might need a heart valve replacement if they can't control the infection, he has been there almost two weeks now, if heart valve Surgery is required who knows how much longer the stay will be? the only bright side since being admitted is the Kidney's are now functioning on their own but the infection is still in his lungs, liver and heart, so far it's a mystery for where or how he got the infection especially being 34 and healthy before all this started??

Oh sweetie. I am sorry.

Mrsa is just like the fungus issue. COVID-19 is an hiv type thing.

Zeph got a bone infection from back to back viruses. Had I not yelled and hollered... he would have lost his leg.

JAZZz50, it's only six winners, not everybody. Not sure who you could sue? Vaccine manufacturers have been held harmless for decades in the USA. California, for one, had a 75 billion budget surplus last month that will certainly cover a few "incentives".... [link to www.politico.com (secure)]

There appears to be a magical thinking idea that if we reach 70% vaccinated, then the RO dips below 1? Of course, this does not account for Delta or Delta on steroids.

There have been about 480 thousand deaths from covid in the 65 and over age group. How much money do you think has been and will be saved in social security payments and Medicare?
Medicare is about $11,500 per year per person. My guess is Social security is about $15,000 per year per person.

Kinda' at a loss for words

Just Know Your Son, Yourself & Your Family is in my Prayers

May The Good Lord Watch Over Him and Give Him Strength

Aw hon. I'm so sorry. My youngest son is the same age and about the same size. Y'all are in my prayers. Staff, too.

Keep us posted, if you can. I wish I had better words for you. My heart is heavy.

TB, we broke record low today. record from 1948.not complaining. felt hot at 70. no i don't have menopause.

Did you really!? I forgot to see what ours was and I'm not buying what my phone says. It was chilly last night and this morning. We're 81 right now. Bad T-storms for tomorrow. Figures. I have most of my plants out.

40 last night. some areas in the hills said they hada light frost but didn't hurt any plants.

I listen to Detroit radio. It comes in better than Toledo or Cleveland. They were in the 40's too.

My phone says our low was 69. I don't think so. It was colder than that this morning. I wish I'd have looked though.

40 sounds lovely to me! It is sweltering down here.

We had a message from the electric company asking for people to move their thermostats up to 78 and not run major appliances during the afternoon/evening.

Sorry MRE. Hoping for the a speedy and complete recovery.

When we would get them, the best I could manage was 74 and THAT was miserable in the 100's! I love Texas, but there is so much I don't miss. Heat, dust, tumbleweeds, coyotes.....I do miss my son and my friends. I'll just call them! LOL

i found the problem-

I stay out of politics.
But this is just too much.
Nothing but trying scapegoat and cover their own asses.
Only now that the digging is starting to occur are they talking.
Or maybe the rumors about Dong Jingwei are true?

Less than 50%

Minked

Just checking in briefly while I have a moment. Currently waiting my 15 minutes after receiving the J&J vaccine. It caused a minor ache like a bruise for a minute or two but has mostly faded at this point.

My personal research over the past month indicates to me that vaccines are having an impact on infection rates and people I know personally have not had any major side effects.

I will post any side effects I experience if they occur.

I hope all of you are doing well. I have been super busy with my new job so that's why I have been largely absent. Doesn't mean I'm not thinking about you.

Stay safe, my friends.

Well. Didn’t take long.
Perhaps only the unvaccinated are being infected?

Unlikely.

It just will take time to see how much damage is done to their systems.

If this is real

Ok..so..

The performance of the SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test as a tool for detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection in the population

In light of our findings that more than half of individuals with positive PCR test results are unlikely to have been infectious, RT-PCR test positivity should not be taken as an accurate measure of infectious SARS-CoV-2 incidence. Our results confirm the findings of others that the routine use of “positive” RT-PCR test results as the gold standard for assessing and controlling infectiousness fails to reflect the fact “that 50-75% of the time an individual is PCR positive, they are likely to be post-infectious” [7].

Asymptomatic individuals with positive RT-PCR test results have higher Ct values and a lower probability of being infectious than symptomatic individuals with positive results. Although Ct values have been shown to be inversely associated with viral load and infectivity, there is no international standardization across laboratories, rendering problematic the interpretation of RT-PCR tests when used as a tool for mass screening.

Yeah.
I was being facetious.
