Quoting: Guythu Update: Poland: Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki “We cannot be under any illusions. This is not insanity but a deliberate strategy that has already opened the gates to genocide. ‘Russkiy Mir’ is a cancer which is consuming not only the majority of Russian society, but also poses a deadly threat to the whole of Europe,therefore it is not enough to support Ukraine in its military struggle with Russia. We must root out this monstrous new ideology entirely.” [link to mobile.twitter.com (secure)] Poland needs to stay off Putin's radar.

I did a quick search on the Illinois side awhile ago. Really didn't find anything in our budget, probably because of the base nearby. Illinois isn't my first choice to live, either. Did that years ago. Quoting: Texan Buckeye I just realized, I'm sounding really picky. We're not so much. We thought we wouldn't have to move again and hadn't expected the market to tighten like it did in the last year. We just figure if we have to move again, we're going to be close to 2 of our kids and half of the grands. It'll work itself out, I'm sure. I get panicky sometimes and I feel better after I've typed it all out and talk it over with y'all. I don't know what I'd do without everyone here. TB, that would put you only 2 hours away from the Indiana border, and we're about 2 hours away from the Illinois border. We could meet for lunch! Actually, just a little farther west than that. I forgot there's an O'Fallon IL, too. Sorry. We're looking at MO. We do have plans to come through your way in about a month. I hope we can still do it. We've all been looking forward to it for several months! I'll let you know when plans are firmed up. |

Bread was full, but it was all the cheapest brands and their prices had gone up. We went over to Sam's to exchange our propane tank. It was $19.00 for 7 lbs. so $2.71 a lb. Definitely gone up. The sign said it was almost $16 for 15 lbs. That would've been $1.06 a lb. Don't know when it went up. Gas has gone up again, too, by around $.10 a gal. Diesel is hanging on at $5.29. |

Quoting: Guythu Pfizer’s Covid Vaccine Protection Against Omicron Fades Just Weeks After Second And Third Doses, Study Finds [link to www.forbes.com (secure)] n=128, meh. These studies are fine and needed but near non-sensical to publish with these sample numbers for anything other then follow up studies. Why? Because they do not test how effective the response is post infection but how measurable the protectiveness is post vaccination. Does this matter though? Yes it does, antibodies are produced upon exposure with a infecting agent, in this case that would be the virus or the vaccine. Denmark is currently seeing ~395 new cases daily against a population or 5,8m so it is likely the antibodies are not being challenged. There some magic I don't fully understand in how the body does this but without exposure the body will not produce extra antibodies because it's a waste of energy. A vaccination is supposed to illicit prolonged ability to respond to viral challenge, the booster shots are meant to sustain constant vigilance for the virus to never set foot by always being primed for exposure. Just from the sample number of this study I can call it's conclusions horseshit if they attempted to be representative. If anyone can find the actual study (I tried) do let me know.

Beyond that the articles concludes the absence of 'detectable' antibodies in the older demographic is wrong/undesirable. It's not, It's not what we want but it's how we work. If the virus is there we see it in out immune system. Vaccine's allow us to shoot tomahawks right in there instead of blowing a load and seeing what works. We can all agree the media and academics are putting this shit out for clout. There is no scientific basis for these claims. Vaid Status: It's a small world after all! |

User ID: 46835970 United States 05/15/2022 06:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Taiwan’s current situation is a rather stark comparison from where they were just a month prior. From the start of all of this they’ve only officially had low numbers. Tens or Hundreds not thousands of cases daily. Taiwan has recently softened up on its “zero-Covid” policy. Due to economics and not wanting to miss out on the reopening of the world. They claim to still have the policy but are not pushing hard on enforcement. Knowing full well that they would see an increase. One example is the Tomb Sweeping Festival which occurred on April 4-5. March 29, 2022 Taiwan had 33 new cases reported. April 5, 2022 216 new cases. In April: The CECC also stated that it expects cases to increase and that it will be 10 days out from the Tomb Sweeping Festival before it is clear whether there will be an explosion of cases afterward. [link to thediplomat.com (secure)] Taiwan reports a record 68,719 new coronavirus cases, an increase of 63% from last week. 7-day moving average now at 58,753. 19 new deaths were added, for a total of 1,068. Currently there are 21 deaths a day on average. [link to mobile.twitter.com (secure)] |

User ID: 78322105 United States 05/15/2022 01:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just checking in. Finished my contract and am taking a month off before heading to my next one. We haven't seen covid here in the ER's because we aren't testing for it. We test for flu and RSV in kids, but no covid. It's still allergy season as well so there's that. Gas has gone up here and we're usually one of the cheapest states for gas. It's anywhere from $3.89 to $4.29 where I live. I find it odd that cat food and baby formula are always a rare find in the stores around here. I know the reasoning behind the baby formula, but cat food? It's the canned kind I notice aren't available. Son was able to find an Xbox S series after looking for months. There were actually 3 in the store. People still suck driving around here. We've also had more psych pts check in with suicidal thoughts. I feel for the psych nurses because we transfer them out and all the psych places are full. At least we can sedate them heavily if they act out :). Y'all stay safe out there! People suck. |
