Bad News Thread

You have a link? That's fascinating. Men are generally more susceptible to the virus. IIRC almost by a factor of .5. Perhaps because of their superior cardiovascular systems? Come to think of it, most of the longer haulers I know are all women.
I believe this is the full audio.
 
This actually good news...not bad.

So here you go.

"According to a Bloomberg Vaccine Tracker, 26.5 million people in the US have now received at least one dose of the vaccine, surpassing the 26.2 million coronavirus cases since the onset of the pandemic."

"The milestone comes at a time when the US leads the world in daily coronavirus vaccine rates, with about 1.35 million doses administered per day, according to Bloomberg.

About 7.8% of Americans have now received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 1.8% of the population is fully vaccinated, the report said."

 
I wonder if I should use the vaccine that I bought through Alibaba.com and just arrived?

 
I believe this is the full audio.

Thanks. Interesting. My son's heart has checked out o.k., but for the first time since he was 3-5 (when he was in day care and had one RSV, cold and flu infection after another), he's had periodic asthma since he's been sick and has had to get an inhaler. They aren't sure if I had COVID, but I've had issues for up to 8 months, only turning around at the beginning of this year. I can relate to the some days I feel great and some days I don't thing.
 
And not so good news when your gov can do this. Not ours fortunately.


This article raises a fair point. Why is it racist and xenophobic to call this bug "The China Virus" but it's perfectly acceptable to call the variants "The UK Variant" and "The South Africa Variant"?
 
“The lockdowns have been an enormous and ineffective overreaction, not actually protecting the population from COVID. While at the same time, the collateral damage is absolutely devastating,” he said.

“It’s an unfocused overreaction…We just should have focused on the population we knew to be at risk, protected them, thought of creative ways to protect them from the beginning of the epidemic…And for the rest of the population, the lockdown, we should have been thinking about the collateral damage from the very beginning.”

It has taken all of these “geniuses” too long to now realize what many normal everyday people knew in May. I am not professing to be know it’s all but I knew then that kids could play sports and go to school safely. Our politicians knew it too but because they wanted to purposely hurt the economy to gain the presidency they turned on their population and ruined business in their own state. These are the facts and have been for months. Not sure if treason is the proper word but if you define it as being a traitor, Newsom and many other politicians who purposefully hurt our children and many of their citizens livelihoods in the name of power have committed it.

Maybe we should call it the "China Variant", and then it's ok?

The bad news is they wasted some doses by giving them to politician in DC.
 
After Fauci bouncing back and forth for several days, we've reached peak stupidity and the CDC is studying recommending double masks. I tell you right now, if they try to mandate it I won't do it. Here's my red line. They don't even have solid proof the single masks in real world conditions can do anything. And remember, they are talking about this going on for years folks (for reasons previously discussed: kids not fully vaccinated until 2022, the J&J and other non-mRNA vaccine being partially effective, virus variants mutating away from the vaccines). Nope.

Have these guys (double maskers) ever seen the neighborhoods where the virus is currently most prevalent? How is one mask and distancing going in these neighborhoods? They are primarily preaching to folks who don't really go outside unless they have to when there isn't a pandemic and people who are hypersensitive to any "possible" threat and are freaking out accordingly (many are both). How out of touch can they possibly be?
 
Yeah...let us not test them to show how bad not being in school is. If we test, more parents might realize just how bad the unions have been in preventing kids going back to school. It would make the unions look bad, and we cannot have that right?

End-of-year testing, required by the federal government, should be waived for a second year to avoid “perpetuating the vast inequities in our state,” argues the California Teachers Association.

The results won’t be valid, reliable, or useful. We don’t need test scores to know that children living in poverty and attending poorly resourced schools have fallen even farther behind in a pandemic. . . . Instead of more testing, we should be focusing on solutions that address poverty, racial inequities, and school funding disparities.
Darren Miller, who blogs at Right on the Left Coast, is a California teacher who thinks the CTA doesn’t want to know how badly students are doing due to lockdowns. “Without testing, we won’t know which students need which additional help after not having been in school a year,” he writes. “Without testing, even the best students won’t know how far behind they are.”


This made me almost choke on my toast when I read it.

CTA, educators say standardized tests would be detrimental to students, of little use to schools.

To be fair, the CTA doesn't like standardized tests anyway. See their image below...ESPECIALLY during a pandemic.
