Sorry to hear this news, my thoughts are with you my friend...

So sorry...

inquiring minds need to know:

if exposed to Scarlett Fever will horse paste help? Augmentin prescribed and doxycycline also, but doxy made them sick the last time taken in 2020........

also anyone else hearing of SF around?


TIA

Seems to develop in some from strep throat. Antibiotic treatment is typically required as it's a bacterial infection that can get bad quick if not treated. Penicillin is the standard one.

As to IVM it should not hurt but I could not find it specifically addressed as to strep or scarlet fever.

Last I heard of scarlet fever or strep was early December in my circle. Every one got better, thankfully.

Strictly my opinion.

Scarlet fever is nasty. Had it as a child. The sore throat is like the strep throat, sore throat, on roids.

Yuck

I, too, am sorry to hear this. I wish you both the best.

I'm not believing any of this shit anymore. Wanna know how much snow we got at Casa de Raff? Nada. Zero. Nothing. I could mow the grass if I wanted to.

This storm was a complete fizzle.

I should have gone into meteorology. I could have been wrong all the time and not been fired for it.

The Ukraine war will be over in two years. What fucking good is that?

Your best bet is to follow your family physician's advice. Get a second or even third opinion if you want, but self-medicating without consulting a doctor is always risky.

We got a snow, but it kept melting. It's still snowing here, but small flakes.

Interesting, I just got notified on my phone of a power outage. We still have power thankfully.

I was never convinced we were going to get slammed here. We were on the line of all snow vs. rain/snow mix. We got the mix. Northwest of us got quite a bit, though. We've got more of a black ice problem.

I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m praying hard for you both.

storms here have been slushie. last was more snow than the 1st. half melted already. no complaints at all. this is a mild winter. temps good 15 degrees above normal. lot of water but more rain than snow.

don't worry RIFF, we'll get hit still. blizzard probly b end March or April. mayb both.

i did take a trip in between storms. went O'k. i'm not an oger. tried to plan a day where the GF and family could visit. they was in a hurry. was there mayb 5 mins. wasn't really cold out either.

i wish RW would come sit with us a bit. don't trust the water here.

we saw Cholera last year in several countries. now BRAZIL has stomach bug related to waste water and a river. over 3000 infected in a tourist area this month.

Our temps did not get really low, so we had big, beautiful flakes that pretty much melted when they hit the ground.

Now, next week is looking like a possible ice event. blech.

measle case in KY from the OH outbreak. mostly < 5 yr old kids.

OH is up to 85 cases. blaming lack of vaccines.

Not too much chatter about measles here at all. Last I heard, it was in the Columbus area in a refugee population. That was a couple of months ago, though.

TB you are correct. Although, I don’t know which population cemetery it was within.

I’ve been following the data posted here

At this point.
Everyone will start sending whatever they want.


Estonia is considering sending cluster bombs to Ukraine and is awaiting approval from Germany, the manufacturer.

My gut is telling me this is about to get a lot uglier, globally even. There's a new thread about Canada sending tanks now, too. Have to read that one still.

There's only one reason to send all of this international heavy equipment, I think. We'll all be sending troops sometime soon. The Ukes can't be trained fast enough to use it all and I'm really not sure how many troops they have.

I'll say, I don't have any uncles anymore and the nieces and nephews are all starting to retire now, too. Having said that, I still don't like what I'm seeing.


ETA: Evidently, Canada is sending 4 older tanks.

Thread: Aw fuck, here we go, Canada sending tanks!

Even so, it's a symptom of the disease. History keeps repeating itself.

10 minutes until 2023 BU close approach.

I thought cluster bombs violated international law?
