Is it because mandates don’t work?

COVID Act now is an amazing little tool. I get updates by 10 am most days for the two counties I run homes in here in Indiana. It gives me the actual data on what is happening right now…but historical data, and it shows trends. I love it because I can use state wide data…compare my county the second largest to other top 10 counties, I like that my county also has actual up to the moment data on ICUs in the county, how many ICU beds are taken, and how many ICU beds are used for COVID currently and how many are left over. Then projects whether we could handle a surge or not. IT also shows the Rate of Transmission for each state and each county in the state. This is I think the single best indicator of where things are in any county with regard to increased spread, or decreased spread.
Good Read…talks about the long history of the mRNA vaccine and its potential.

It’s stories like this that make me angry every time we here stories of government waste of “shrimp on treadmills” and the like.
We have no idea what will and won’t pan out or how long it will take.

So we pay for everything for as long as it takes to pan out.
I was watching a local news story about how they have been using a synthetic molecule with RNA instructions on it so small that it will pass the blood brain barrier and get into the brain and treat brain cancers like the kind that John McCain had…The Molecule is so small that it passes through and it was tried on a woman who was already dying of this cancer back in 2017. And as expected she died…but post mortem showed that the cancer cells were being attacked and there was a marked reduction due to the mRNA molecule that carried instructions on it to attack the cancer cells. This damn thing is a game changer.

The NYT opinion pages are hot garbage.
They have been for quite a while.

The American Legion wants to know why they have a disease named after them…but we can’t call corona the Wuhan flu.

Thank you, patient, for telling off rude nurse at urgent care center today. This guy and I are on the same page about the medical profession, but I felt contempt for it even before COVID 19:
So there’s an UCC near my gym in one location, and I see Infusion Therapy is a service offered. There are spas and clinics in some states staffed with nurses who will administer migraine infusion (usually IV for hydration following copious vomiting, mixed with anti nauseant, anti inflammatory like Benadryl and non narcotic pain relief).
I wonder if they offered that, so I entered after a workout to be greeted with a few others in line by a woman loudly treating us like little kids congregating on a playground. “You can’t all be in here, some of you need to leave.” Why, if “masking up” is so great? We weren’t in each others’ faces.
Could she even ask to see a vaccination card? I need ed to start carrying mine.
I was there to ask strictly one question the front desk could have handled with that individual shielded by plexiglass. Turns out the guy ahead of me had his wife with him to help him because of visual impairment.
He told this sanctimonious individual in scrubs to her face, “You do not have to be so rude.” Thank you, patient.
I wouldn’t come to this clinic even if they offered an alternative to the E R during most incapacitating flareups.
CRISPR is a big deal, that is for sure.
No one is beating on and killing American Legion members when they catch legionella.

Wait, who’s beating on and killing Chinese people?
There has been over 2800 hate crimes against Asian Americans since the start of the pandemic. There has been a lot of physical assaults on Asians due to the pandemic. Some have died, including a 91 year old man.

Are you sure they weren’t counted as covid deaths?

I think you meant 84 year old. The 91 year old guy from Oakland lived.
An 84 year old Asian man died in San Francisco.

As far as the 91 year old goes, he was attacked by Yahah Muslim, who went on to attack two more people that day, a 60 year old man and a 55 year old woman.
“It’s not just Chinatown. The violence in this community is impacting every neighborhood, so we all need to band together to take a stand and say this violence in unacceptable," Armstrong said, continuing, “But today, we’re sending a message to those that commit crime in this city that we will pursue you and we will arrest you and it’s not acceptable for things like this to happen in our community.”
