Bad News Thread

Be nice to Zonies. They hosted a lot of SoCal soccer during the Newsom lock down. Plus most of them spend part of the year in SoCal.

Old OB bumper sticker reads "Zonies go home but leave your daughters". (Or was it dollars?)
 
Fully vaccinated people who get a Covid-19 breakthrough infection can transmit the virus, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday.
"Our vaccines are working exceptionally well," Walensky told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "They continue to work well for Delta, with regard to severe illness and death -- they prevent it. But what they can't do anymore is prevent transmission." ((Not good folks. The only people I know who are sick, have blood clots and feel pissed off and scared all at once atr those with two or more jabs))

'Next variant is just around the corner' ((Oh boy, this is never going to end. This is hell))

Getting more people vaccinated won't just help crush this surge, experts say. It will help prevent other -- potentially even more aggressive -- variants from arising in the future.
"The next variant is just around the corner, if we do not all get vaccinated," Adm. Brett Giroir, the former coronavirus testing czar under President Donald Trump, told CNN's Chris Cuomo.
 
CNN fired three workers for showing up to work unvaccinated. No jab, no job. Dam, that place must be hell to work at. I told my wife to be prepared to live in our place under lockdown. I already bought enough food for a year. After that, I know a cave we can live in. I know how to spear fish and survive without the jabs. I heard the most divisive political ever ad ever on the radio. My wife and I laughed but then thought how sick people are.

In the past week, we have been made aware of three employees who were coming to the office unvaccinated. All three have been terminated,” Zucker wrote. “Let me be clear — we have a zero-tolerance policy on this.”

Funny thing is that variants have been right around the corner since before mankind.

It's starting to concern me now Bruddah. I have friend whose wife works for big pharma. She makes $250,000. Her husband will not get the vax. She told him jab or divorce. She is freaking out because this will be her third divorce and he always used to obey her. Not this time. He listen to crush's advice. My advice, to be very clear, is to question everything and do your own research. After the research, decide for yourself what is best for you and you only. She is actually blaming me for forcing him not to take it. She's a nut job and all about her blood thinner bonus. They both had some money and sign prenup so all is not lost. My pal told me this all happen on Monday and was embarrassed to share with me until today.

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.
Sincerely,

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.

Everyone has been ignoring virus history to continue the hype.
