Burr just stepped down from the Senate Intelligence Committee. 

 

So you're saying we'll see Adam Sh**t step down while all of his reckless public statements are being investigated?  No....I think not.

The only way Schiff leaves office is in handcuffs. And he has immunity so I'm not sure how that will happen.

To the Editor,

The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, COVID-19) has spread in nearly 100 countries, infected 217,645 patients, and resulted in 8942 deaths worldwide. The major clinical feature is Respiratory Distress Syndrome and one key complication is Acute Cardiac Injury [1]. Interestingly, a recent article of IJC may provide a clue to heart protection for COVID-19-infected individuals, based on the oxidative stress theory [2].

According to recent clinical reports, the therapeutic time for COVID-19 infection is much longer than 14 days, but long-time viral stimulation is prone to suddenly elicit intensive immunological reactions, cytokine storm and immune-cell infiltration in vivo; however, some immunocytes especially macrophages and neutrophils can produce numerous reactive oxygen species (ROS) including H2O2, (·O2 ), (·OH), etc. [[2], [3], [4]].

Generally, a certain level of ROS is important for regulating immunological responses and for clearing viruses, but excessive ROS will oxidize cellular proteins and membrane lipids and quickly destroy not only virus-infected cells but also normal cells in lung and even heart, resulting in multiple organ failure.

Thus, a potential anti-oxidative therapy could be proposed to alleviate cardiogenic casualties caused by COVID-19. Inexpensive medicinal antioxidants include Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and Vitamin E, because their reductive hydrogen atoms can react with ROS and then produce nontoxic water [5]. Plant-derived molecules (similar to ancient Chinese medicine), such as Curcumin and Baicalin, may have potential anti-oxidative efficacy, too.

Predictably, a proper dose of antioxidants may ameliorate cardiac injuries of critically ill COVID-19-infected patients (but possibly not including mild-symptom patients).

Oxidative stress might be pretty big. 

 

What are the main causes of oxidative stress?
Factors that may increase a person's risk of long-term oxidative stress include:
  • obesity.
  • diets high in fat, sugar, and processed foods.
  • exposure to radiation.
  • smoking cigarettes or other tobacco products.
  • alcohol consumption.
  • certain medications.
  • pollution.
  • exposure to pesticides or industrial chemicals.

“Dr Bright is the sponsor for hydroxychloroquine.”  If it wasn’t serious, it would be funny. Another #resistance “whistle blower” with nothing to say.

CDC issues alert to doctors on rare COVID-19 'mystery illness' in kids

The illness was given an official name: MIS-C, or multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health alert to physicians Thursday on what has emerged as a rare but potentially deadly condition linked to COVID-19 in children.

The illness, which the CDC calls "multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children," or MIS-C, has been reported in at least 19 states and Washington, D.C. It was previously referred to as pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome.

 

Full coverage of the coronavirus outbreak

At least 110 cases have been reported in New York, and three young people — ages 5, 7 and 18 — have died. New Jersey has at least 17 cases, and California has six. Other states, such as Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio and Washington, have reported small numbers of cases. Kids ‘do need to be protected’ from coronavirus, doctor says

The CDC's health alert provides guidance for diagnosis of MIS-C. The diagnostic criteria include a fever of at least 100.4 degrees for at least 24 hours, evidence of inflammation in the body and hospitalization with problems in at least two organs (such as the heart, the kidneys or the lungs).

Ya feel for them :( 


I’ve been texting with my friends in Delhi. They are really scared because they know it’s uncontrollable there if it settles in, especially in their hottest time. It’s not possible to be inside for most people and there is no way to avoid other people there. I had hoped some combination of the weather or any mysterious reason might shelter them but there was never much doubt that this would ravage them and most of South Asia. 
 

In one of the early interviews I saw during this, Bill Gates was saying that more or less, as bad as things may get in the US and Europe, we can handle it. That is not necessarily true everywhere.

But we won’t in WNY because Cuomo says we can’t have more than a few hospitalizations even though we have capacity. Apparently if more healthy individuals that can quarantine in their homes get Covid 19 then we might reopen. If less healthy get it, we’re stuck. 

You guys didnt get to open tomorrow?

Only Finger Lakes/ Ra-cha-cha, North Country, Southern Tier, & Mohawk Valley have loosened restrictions as of tomorrow.
