Bad News Thread

RIP Brave Warriors!!!
Check this out you guys. Two men by the name of Hunter that we can think about. One Hunter is selling art work for $500,000 a piece and has THREE LAPTOPS FROM HELL with so much evil it will make you puke. The other Hunter just died for our country. Why did he die? We also lost a few others from the IE. My son's best friend Zack is serving. As you drive past Camp Pendleton to watch kids play soccer or Silver Lakes, keep the 13 in your thoughts and Prayers and their loved ones.

 
Big island despite masks and vaccines is imposing a new round of business restrictions. Other counties are pressuring the state govt to restrict travel and/or approve their restrictions. Despite masks and vaccines.

“Inescapable” COVID-19 Antibody Discovery – Neutralizes All Known SARS-CoV-2 Strains

An antibody therapy that appears to neutralize all known SARS-CoV-2 strains, and other coronaviruses, was developed with a little help from structural biologist Jay Nix. Lifesaving COVID-19 vaccines are allowing us to feel optimistic again, after more than a year of anxiety and tragedy. But vacci

That's nice. The current antibody treatment (remdesvir) costs about $1200 per shot (paid for by the covid authorities). What will the price of this new one be?
 
New mask study....an attempt at RCT. Caveats: mask wearing was imperfect, social distancing was mixed in with the mask wearing, most of the study was pre-delta wave, and some people refused blood collection so they are only going largely on symptoms...something for both masks skeptics and mask proponents to challenge. Found about a reduction of 1% from 8.62% to 7.62% in symptoms between the intervention and control arms. Surgical masks caused a little more than a 10% reduction, cloth masks statistically 0%.

I find your posts irresponsible. Just questioning the efficacy of masks is going to cause someone to not wear a mask and that person is going to kill me and others. Please stop your shameful behavior.

The funny thing is it's being sold as a "masks work" study...it kind of is...a little bit...which is where I was pre-delta. :cool:

The other problem is children. Properly fitting medical grade masks are difficult to obtain for them. It's also clear that while the surgicals may help a little (at least pre Delta), they aren't as good as the KN95s and N95s and those are difficult to find (particularly for single use) let alone fit to kids let alone have them wear it all day.
