WHO got Pfizer stock? Who got Pfizer jab? Talk about going all in on a product.....lol. Sales room must be having some cool happy hours. Congratulations on a killer quarter team. They made $18,098,000,000 Billion dollars 2nd quarter numbers. Their drug Eliquis that my pal is taking for blood clots rose 13% and Vyndaquel rose 77% ((that's for cardiomyopathy)). God only knows the true ingredients.
 
Inpatient Bed Utilization by State


Such Numbers Without Context Are Misleading
by DON BOUDREAUX on AUGUST 5, 2021
in CURRENT AFFAIRS, MEDIA, SEEN AND UNSEEN





Content Director, News4 Jacksonville
Sir or Madam:
Travis Gibson reports rises in the absolute numbers of hospitalized patients in Florida – rises due principally to the Delta variant afflicting unvaccinated Floridians (“Florida hospital CEOs tell DeSantis what they are seeing during latest COVID-19 spike,” August 4). Without context, these numbers might be alarming.
But a competent reporter gives context, which Mr. Gibson doesn’t here do. So let me help.
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ Project Public Data Hub, as of today (August 5th) 15.85 percent of all hospital beds in Florida for inpatients remain unoccupied, and 11.32 percent of ICU beds remain unoccupied. While these numbers tell us little about the future – or about the situation at any particular medical-care facility – they do help to calm fears created by the possible misimpression that the Delta variant is now causing Florida’s hospitals to be generally overrun with patients.

Cancer in the Time of COVID-19 in Japan: Collateral Damage
Pandemic-induced panic had alarming effects on cancer diagnosis and treatment in Japan.

The Collapse of Inpatient Care in Japan

As a health economist, I have been tracking the workings of Japanese hospitals and clinics for 30 years. Through the Japanese health policy think tank that I run, Global Health Consulting Japan (GHC), I have compiled data from 454 large acute care hospitals, representing a significant fraction of all inpatient care in Japan.ii Over the course of the epidemic, these hospitals have treated 28,247 COVID patients, accounting for approximately 30% of inpatient COVID inpatient cases in Japan.iii

Image 1, immediately below, shows changes (year-by-year in the same month) in the number of scheduled hospital admissions between March and December 2020 for the top 20 most frequent diagnostic categories in these hospitals.

The Delta Variant Decoupling in Spain and the Illogic of Vaccine Passports Data and Analysis by José Gefaell

The relevant factor for determining transmission potential is the presence of symptoms, however mild they may be (fever, persistent cough, loss of taste or smell, etc.). We must stop obsessing about asymptomatic COVID-19 infections. We do not do this with any other endemic pathogen, and there is no utility for it in public health.

Symptomatic people should be advised to stay home, whether vaccinated or not. It’s nonsensical to propose a harmful, restrictive mandate to force quarantine of the few who will choose to go out anyway.

Like lockdowns and restrictions on the movements of healthy people, COVID-19 vaccine passports will be a counterproductive measure, not only economically and socially, but for the control of the disease as well.
 
Today's Bad News for some and Good News for others Headlines

1. Rona News
-Fully vaccinated people who get Covid-19 can transmit the virus, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said. "But what they can't do anymore is prevent transmission."
-"The unvaccinated continue to be the big highway of transmission," Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University Medical Center said.
-No smoking gun has emerged to support any lab leak theory, and many scientists continue to believe the virus is more likely to have jumped naturally from animals to humans.

2. Climate News
-President Biden unveiled another piece of his administration's plan to fight the climate crisis, announcing a new target that half of vehicles sold in the US by 2030 will be battery electric, fuel-cell electric or plug-in hybrid. Biden said the future of American car manufacturing "is electric and there's no turning back."

4. Myanmar News
-A Myanmar militia force fighting the army in a central part of the country has found at least 40 bodies in jungle areas in recent weeks, including some showing signs of torture, said a militia member and Myanmar's UN envoy. Since the military overthrew the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi on February 1, hundreds have been killed as the army violently quelled protests. The bodies were found in several locations around the town of Kani, which has seen fierce fighting in recent months between the army and the militia groups set up by opponents of military rule. Myanmar's UN envoy, who represents the elected civilian government, described the incidents as "clearly amounting to crimes against humanity."

5. Soccer News
-No more Messi
-Sharks get new Doc
-ECNL SW has two divisions
-Top three teams advance to National Playoff. My prediction this year is Socal will crown a champion in one or more age groups. It's too early to tell for U18/19 top clubs. I hear top players are still shopping around for the right fit.
-August 31st is cut off date.
-My wife's parents finally get to see their GDD play a soccer game.
-2022's need to be patient and find the best of the best for them and not what others think is best. Super duper challenging to navigate for many.
 
and this just came in......yikes!!! Look, it's a figure of speech I hope and that's all. As men, we all need to do a better job of taking care of ALL the kids and ALL the woman who need help.

Anaheim Councilman Jordan Brandman resigns, under pressure from colleagues and OC Dems
After a City Council meeting in February 2020, Brandman was texting with a resident when he referred to Barnes with a vulgar term for female genitals and said he would “rip her (expletive) (breasts) off.”

He’s not proud of the messages, he said, adding, “I wish I had chosen a more thoughtful way to express that in a private conversation.”

One of the key parts of the article above. @dad4 and other people with the phobia take note....

"Given that Delta comprises roughly 90% of cases in Spain, this CFR reduction suggests that the current Delta variant is likely less lethal than previous phenotypes.

It also suggests that a substantial degree of natural immunity exists in the younger and unvaccinated populations.

Therefore, we are likely in the endemic phase of COVID-19."

Nice work Hound but it's all for nothing bro. I super appreciate all the graphs and stats from you and Grace and Bruddah. Were past all that. The variant around the corner is where all eyes should be.

The definition of variant in the English dictionary: a way of writing a word which is used by some people as an alternative to the standard or generally accepted form.

What is a variant in medical terms you might ask?
(VAYR-ee-unt) Any change in the DNA sequence of a cell. Variants may be caused by mistakes during cell division, or they may be caused by exposure to DNA-damaging agents in the environment.

Shocking isn't it? Of course we knew all of this in May of 2020.

She clearly is an idiot.

Let us try these numbers again.

72 million or so people are 17 or under.

In a year and a half that group has had roughly 350 deaths.

If kid's are not in school it is the idiot politicians, the teacher's unions, and the sheeple that believe them who are preventing them from going to school.

A sane/rational person would look at those numbers and know that this group has zero risk.

But what about Delta?

Again instead of making doomsday prophecies....why don't we simply look across the pond to see what the big bad Delta did over there. If one bothers to look at the real world data, instead of making up projections, one would see that our current situation will most likely end up just like those countries. And what happened over there? Well besides barrels of ink spent worrying about what might be...the reality was deaths were completely decoupled from cases.
 
Hey bro, remember when I told Espola to watch out for Wendy? He had no idea wtf I was talking about. He also said on here before he ignored that I make up stories like @ Grace. He even accused my of playing DH? Wendy is one tough girl. Married 43 years and flew Marines all over the world. I really like this latest Gab,
"We are surrounded by crooks." ((Wow, that is scary))
"Pure evil and demented delusion." I'm learning that their is such a thing as "pure evil."
"These people ((pure evil ones)) are actually letting in Covid through our Southern boarder." ((Insane!!! Most are little kids with no mom or dad))
"Then they have the nerve to tell us to get three Frankenstein Jabs, if you want to work" ((This is by far the best quote of the hole Vax debate))
Oh, "and they lie about the voter fraud."

Right from the start.
 
Check this out Evil Goalie & Bruddah. Jet lands on a street in MI for training exercise. I hear this the first time ever a jet has landed on a hwy in the States. I guess it's just some normal training exercise that the Air Force does from time to time. I can;t wait until they start landing in OC to show us all the latest exercises. Make sure to wave as they fly by if you see one or two :)
