In Cell Studies, Seaweed Extract Outperforms Remdesivir in Blocking COVID-19 Virus

 

In a test of antiviral effectiveness against the virus that causes COVID-19, an extract from edible seaweeds substantially outperformed remdesivir, the current standard antiviral used to combat the disease. Heparin, a common blood thinner, and a heparin variant stripped of its anticoagulant properties, performed on par with remdesivir in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 infection in mammalian cells.
 

Published online today in Cell Discovery, the research is the latest example of a decoy strategy researchers from the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies (CBIS) at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute are developing against viruses like the novel coronavirus that spawned the current global health crisis.

I saw Plandemic online . The scary part is some people believe it creating more anti vaxxers


 

One of the great things about this country is that we don’t censor views that we disagree with and that we allow -   Oh nevermind, of course freedom of speech no longer exists.  Speech largely exists online and big tech have become monopolies that are run by woke radicals and they control content.

 

Dont worry Alfy, Big tech will protect your sensibilities.

Americans kept from funerals, work, church fume over jammed demonstrations allowed in city streets

by Jon Dougherty

 

Original Article

 

A growing number of Americans concerned about continued coronavirus restrictions are questioning the need for such policies like business closures and mask mandates as tens of thousands gather in the streets around the country to demonstrate and protest. Video clips from such gatherings, often involving thousands of mostly mask-less people, are replete on social media, drawing ire from Americans who are pushing for COVID restrictions to be lifted so that businesses can fully reopen, along with schools, sporting and concert venues, and others.

 

“It turns out you can attend church services in America. As long as it’s the church of social justice,” tweeted journalist Barrett Wilson on Friday,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CDC Sides With Trump, Says Students Need To Go Back To School

 by Tim Pearce

 

Original Article

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new guidance on Friday warning about severe consequences to children if schools do not reopen for in-person class in the fall.

 

The CDC’s updated guidance now aligns with recommendations made by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which endorsed school reopenings with limited exceptions last month. The new guidance also resolves what many had said was a conflict between the White House and the CDC on the safety of in-person learning amid the pandemic. “The best available evidence from countries that have opened schools indicates

We can all admit that Democrats have taken the pandemic more seriously and better than Republicans. That's an undeniable fact, right? 

 

Republicans don't care about people, they just see people as tools to use.

Well...

 

It looks like Chuck Woolery's son had a false positive on his test.

 

Big surprise.

 

Will we start discussing false positives soon or is that another anti-science discussion?

 

No scientist would never do anything unethical of course...

 

especially not for their job security, or funding for their research.

Let's hope that one passes scrutiny when it gets peer reviewed.  


 

I think the preponderance of evidence through the existing data is very supportive of this theory.

 

With that said Texas data continuing to improve

 

 

 

I do thoroughly enjoy how Alex crushes mainstream panic porn analysis.  He calls them out by name and tags them in his tweets.

Fix a failure by denying it exists hahaha that is perfect Trump.


Was listening to Brietbart radio this am and did you know it’s the Democrats fault that the virus is here because the Dems apparently won’t blame China for the virus?

 

You can’t fix stupid

It certainly seems to be going that way.  And if the current hot spots wind down in the next couple of weeks & the original ones don't re-surge then we'll know there's something to that theory.

 

And IMHO that theory being right will go a long way towards forcing the schools to reopen and only go virtual for limited times if the area they're in get hit hard.  (Personally, expect they could stay open through a surge, but politically there is absolutely no will to do so.)

The issue isn't the freedom to show it, it's that they are showing it on network TV because so many people believe it, like many people have posted here about the Gates/Fauci axis of poison Covid creators.

So much to look forward to when we "beat" the virus:

 

 

 

All that occurred after Ducey gave local governments permission to impose mask requirements and after he reversed course and once again closed bars, movie theaters, gyms and fitness centers, imposed stricter limits on in-house dining at restaurants, and limited crowds to no more than 50, effectively precluding spectators at sporting events.

But Scarpinato said Arizonans should not see the latest bit of good news as an indication that these restrictions will disappear anytime soon.

“The virus continues to be widespread,” he said.

“What we don’t want is for anyone to think that because there might be some leveling off or because that R-naught number has dropped, that that means that we can let up or that means you don’t have to wear a mask anymore.” Scarpinato said. “It means that those policies are working and we’re going to have to continue doing it for the foreseeable future at least through the end of the year and probably beyond.”

That starts with masks. Put simply, he said, wearing a mask is “part of the new normal in Arizona.”

We are now entering month 5 of 15 days to slow the spread.  

 

 

Anyone paying attention to what's happening in Japan?

 

Keep on thinking we can or even should be micromanaging a virus.

So what?  Much of what she says is stuff that I believe in regards to the human response to viruses.  She was considered credible until she was charged for supposed theft of the research in which they dropped the charges.  Whether this conspiracy stuff she says is true or not, who knows?  I take no position one way or another, let people see it and make up their own mind.

 

Thats the problem with people like you guys, you are so afraid of people seeing things and making up their own minds yet you guys believe in the biggest liars and conspiracy theorists out there, the mainstream press.   They lie to you many times every single day and you guys still eat it up.

 

 

Anyway, more good news from South Florida.  If this trend holds up then Florida will have turned the corner.

Arizona somewhat mixed but more positive than negative 

 

 

 

Pretty precipitous drop in hospitalizations.  Wouldn’t expect that for Florida, California and Texas as they have multiple population zones.  Arizona is largely dominated by Phoenix.  Phoenix must be at burnout level.

They just don't care at all. 

 

Quote

 

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - As Florida became a global epicenter of the coronavirus, Gov. Ron DeSantis held one meeting this month with his top public health official, Scott Rivkees, according to the governor's schedule. His health department has sidelined scientists, halting briefings last month with disease specialists and telling the experts there was not sufficient personnel from the state to continue participating.

"I never received information about what happened with my ideas or results," said Thomas Hladish, a University of Florida research scientist whose regular calls with the health department ended June 29. "But I did hear the governor say the models were wrong about everything."

Or anyone. They don't care. 

 

I was ready about the big Coal Strike of 1902 and how the miners were dying, getting mutilated and burned up for such low wages and the Coal Operators just lied, blamed the unions and did everything they could to make workers lives miserable, unsafe and short. Industrial evil. 

 

The GOP right now shows the same disregard for people's lives.
