SoCal Deek Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The ‘pandemic’ goes on. (In parenthesis because I believe someone shared that the current case and death rates are below the actual definition of the term.) And now, in an election year, the opposition party wants to use the demise of their fellow citizens as a springboard towards power. Nice! The problem is Biden has no plans to do anything different come January....but that gets lost in the details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this virus should teach us is this: we collectively need to take personal control of our lives. Be it personal health, economic standing, and personal freedoms. Sweden gets this for the most part. They do love their gov't run health care, but they do have a quantum leap difference in general health. That makes it easier on the gov't, for sure.

The article from the mises.org has an obvious libertarian slant to it. That's why I mentioned it. To your point, there is no single philosophy that rules the day. A libertarian society would look like the wild west in short order. My point is a little more self reliance wouldn't hurt. Blending that into our current governmental approach would only help.

Big Blitz Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 "Now some researchers are wrestling with a hopeful possibility. In interviews with The New York Times, more than a dozen scientists said that the threshold is likely to be much lower: just 50 percent, perhaps even less. If that’s true, then it may be possible to turn back the coronavirus more quickly than once thought." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officials announced the abrupt change just a week after classes began at the 30,000-student state flagship university. They said 177 cases of the dangerous pathogen had been confirmed among students, out of hundreds tested. Another 349 students were in quarantine, on and off campus, because of possible exposure to the virus, they said. The remote-teaching order for undergraduate classes will take effect Wednesday, and the university will take steps to allow students to leave campus housing without financial penalty if they wish. “We understand the concern and frustrations these changes will raise with many students and parents,” UNC-Chapel Hill’s chancellor, Kevin M. Guskiewicz, and provost, Robert A. Blouin, wrote in a statement. “As much as we believe we have worked diligently to help create a healthy and safe campus living and learning environment, we believe the current data presents an untenable situation.” Clusters of cases had popped up in three residence halls and a fraternity house at UNC-Chapel Hill in the first week of the fall term, sending students into isolation and quarantine rooms and raising faculty worries about how far the dangerous pathogen will spread in the campus community. One influential administrator, the UNC-Chapel Hill dean of public health, called for a change in approach because she said the in-person method is not working.

Maybe, but most likely a result of an acute viral infection. Myocarditis has a long and established link to most infections, snake/bug bites, chemotherapy - the list goes on and on. Basically, your body get attacked by something, your body responds creating antibodies, and as a result tissues and sometimes organs get inflamed. Similar to an autoimmune disease. Here is a good prognosis: "Patients with acute fulminant myocarditis, once they survive the acute illness, had an excellent long-term prognosis of 93% at 11 years..." Citation.
