Vaccine

If someone has mild covid-like symptoms and negative covid tests, it could just be the flu. No reason it has to be a new invisible covid variant.


Where did the flu go?

You haven’t seen the flu for 2 years because transmission dropped below 1. We’ve been fighting it. Too many people wearing masks, meeting outside, staying home for small sniffles, running air cleaners, opening windows, and so on.

When enough people go back to normal, the flu will go back to normal, too.

So are you saying that the flu has similar symptoms to Covid?

Genuine question (since I rarely ask one), is it possible for a dominant virus to push out other viruses? For example, can a virus be more contagious so that it beats other viruses to the host?

The main way I know for one virus to push put another is cross immunity. Omicron can push out Delta because the antibodies from one help against the other. The first one to the host wins, and omicron is faster.

Similarly, one flu can push out another flu. And a new covid variant might push out omicron. But it only works for close relatives. Your covid antibodies are the wrong shape to be any help against influenza. So, even if you are chock full of covid antibodies, it won’t matter at all to the flu. And vice versa.

Thanks for the thoughts. Easier said than done, but we can't sweat the stuff that we can't control. Best we can do is make our little part of the world better.

Hopefully our part of the world will not include anything from Antarctica. Not exactly a warm and fuzzy article about antibiotic resistant bacteria found there.

Bacteria with antibiotic resistant genes discovered in Antarctica, scientists say

Bacteria in Antarctica have been discovered with genes that give them natural antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance and have the potential to spread out of the polar regions, according to scientists in Chile.

Mask are back folks and soon and very soon were going on severe lockdown. Our beautiful country has been taken over. We live in crazy times. Good luck to all thoese who chose jab + booster + mask so they can attend Big U. I love you all :)
"We are already one of the strictest schools with COVID; not only do we have to be vaccinated and boosted, but we also have to be tested weekly and fill out a symptom monitoring survey," said Stella Foreman, a freshman at the university

UCLA is back to masks. https://covid-19.ucla.edu/

Feel fortunate that my daughter is going to college out of state, a school that stayed mostly open during the pandemic. Sad but Covid policies did play a small role in our decision on college. She, my wife and I didn't want her to go to a school that would likely shutdown and go online. Nor did we want to pay for that type of education.

Basically, the education system is a mess and super controlling. You better obey or no entry. Imagine a beautiful dd and real biological female swimmer who wants to swim for Cal or any program. It looks like most of the girls get screamed at and so much more. Then they habe get all the jabs + boosters + wear mask when told to and then get verbally abused and or more just to swim for your school. If you survive emotionally and endure hardship, you get rewarded with competing agiants Lia and other men. When real men stand by and watch this happen, it will never end and will only get worse.

OMG! The horror . . . the horror . . . A MASK!!!!! Lol! I’d be more worried about the gun laws in that state and campus safety records.

Again a complete mischaracterization of my words. Is that all your side has? More likely to implement masks = more likely to shutdown school. Sorry but I'm not paying $40k+ a year for online school. Kids at UCLA are still having to take a number of online classes. In regard to your partisan talking points, I don't think the state has ever had a mass school shooting, maybe because they make it easy for qualified individuals to get concealed carry permits? IDK I'm not a gun guy, but it's a plausible correlation.

Your logic escapes me.
 
The cheaters, liars, spiers, haters, dividers, stealers and pure evil will be gone soon. Hang in there all of you on the side of TRUTH. We are witnessing magic :)

Well, some people don’t like Mondays.
. . . and maybe college cops are braver than those in the great state of Texas? Point is masks are a minor bother in the grand scheme of things.

The cowards that attack and kill innocent people attack what are generally gun free zones.
Can't recall one of these demented pukes attacking a police department or a facility where armed personnel are present...
Unfortunately the school police officer was not on campus when this piece of shit entered the school.

It's is completely disturbing and tragic how we have gone from Cleveland Elementary to Robb Elementary. I remember the Cleveland shooting like it was yesterday.

And by state I mean where she is going to school. Not California, thanks for giving us another reason for my kid to go out of state.

Makes one wonder. Propped door open. The killers Mom is now on a porch couch rubbing her Rosary. This has all the harmarks of evil and some say a satanic ritual killing of the 19 children.

I'd actually argue in the greater scheme of things they are all related. When you tie the horrible failure of the police in Texas, the other recent shootings and car massacre together, the failed COVID response, the high gas prices (some predictions I'm seeing say $10 by mid summer!), the stagflation, the fact that our last two Presidents were a crazy man and someone who is practically senile at this point, and that we can't even produce baby formula, I actually wonder if civilization itself might have hit the point where it's breaking down (and not just the US, but the world as a whole).

The point was hit home this weekend when we were supposed to stay at a Marriott for a soccer tournament. We had the dog with us, and despite my having called the call center to verify the dog was o.k. to check in, when we got there they said no dogs and it was clearly posted on the website. In the old days, even as far back as my 20s, Marriott would have just rebooked us to their neighboring property that was dog friendly and apologized for the inconvenience. What followed was an hour long torture on the phone (since the hotel itself was unauthorized to help us) which resulted in my canceling my Marriott membership and throwing Marriott onto my boycotted company list (along with such other luminaries as United airlines...my longest running boycott now going on 26 years).

If we really are in the Matrix, maybe we've hit the end of the cycle? Or maybe crush is right and the rapture is upon us?
