Your corner store in the city doesn't care and won't care. The restaurants and gyms checking for vax status in Philly are for rich white people or those that cater to the crew that work at Thomas Jefferson.

When new information comes in the last ones to react are government forces and they usually are making things change based on old info. It is nice to know we can agree on something.

Same for schools - some schools have improved ventilation, others not at all. Frankish, I think the biggest scam AT THE TIME was the scientific/political establishment looking the other way/encouraging/participating as tens of thousands of protestors from all walks of life gathered in cities across the country to stand, shoulder to shoulder/arm in arm, when the political/scientific community was warning the rest of us that two people from three different households traveling the NYS Thruway to meet another location would cause the virus to spread like wildfire and kill your loved ones (and that a 36” square plexiglass shield would keep you super-duper safe). It made no sense and contributed to the confusion and mistrust we see today with the political/scientific community. What say you? Btw, since we’re on the plexiglass divider thing—early on, there was a graphic that showed the impact of an individual coughing or sneezing in a grocery store and the amount of particulate spread. Of course, we saw in that animation snot bombs spreading over three or four aisles. Honestly, though I made them for my office and they remain in place still, I have viewed them as the equivalent of hiding under my desk back in grammar school if the big bomb came.

You wonder how many deaths could've been avoided if they didn't have to cut through all the red tape to go from EUA to full FDA approval 5 hours ago, B-Man said: COVID-19 Exposed America’s Overregulated Health Care System Unfortunately, for millions of Americans suffering from other rare diseases, the time and cost for potentially life-saving drugs and treatments to be approved is insufferable and borders on cruel and unusual punishment. On average, it takes 12 years and $2.6 billion to bring a new drug from lab to market. For many startups, the funding barriers for these rigorous clinical trials are insurmountable. Of course, it is a reasonable mandate that the FDA approve safe and effective drugs for market. Yet, as exemplified during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible to expedite approval and bring safe and effective drugs to market faster. Patients suffering from rare diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are asking for the same consideration from the FDA. The three COVID-19 vaccines that were approved in record time set a strong and affirmative precedent for other groups of patients; hopefully, this is a new standard that will inspire reform of the current drug approval process, making patient-centered care a top priority that is shielded from bureaucratic delays. A recent study found that during the pandemic, more than 40 percent of patients delayed or avoided medical procedures and appointments out of fear of contracting COVID-19, further exposing how accessibility to care strains the American health care system. Telehealth services, long advocated by American health care system observers, became an option almost overnight. Telehealth services, quite literally, brought health care services into patients’ hands via an app or over the phone.

What are we even getting vaccinated against?? Dooooooooooom!!!! New COVID variants found in the U.S. As the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to push a surge of new cases, two more variants – Lambda and B.1.621 – are emerging in the U.S. According to WWL TV, the Lambda variant has been found in Northern Louisiana. “It's pretty clear now this virus is evolving fairly rapidly because it has access to a lot of people,” said Dr. Lucio Miele, MD, PhD with the Louisiana State University Health Genetics and Precision Medicine Lab. The B.1.621 variant is so new that it has not been given a name beyond that marker, said Forbes. However, Miele said it has already caused an outbreak in the U.S. “So, what we're going to have to see over the next few weeks is how these variants compete with Delta, which is now the dominant one in the United States,” Miele said. "Because Delta is so good at out-competing other variants, it's having children," Miele said. “There's the real possibility that one of its children will be better than the parent.” Lambda and B.1.621 could also prove to be more contagious than Delta. These new strains could also be partially resistant to the antibodies created by vaccines. This means that even people who have had COVID-19 or have been vaccinated may still get infected with the new variants. Getting the vaccine still helps reduce the changes of virus mutation as it cuts down on the overall presence of the virus. They can also prevent severe cases of COVD-19. “The most recent data shows at least one in four people who contract COVID will experience long haul symptoms from long-term damage to various organs,” he said. https://www.audacy.com/wwl/news/national/new-covid-variants-found-in-the-u-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforgiven Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/covid-masks-dont-work-indoors-study/ New research reveals that cloth masks filter just 10% of exhaled aerosols. WATERLOO, Ontario — N95 or KN95 face masks may be the best way to avoid COVID-19 during crowded indoor events. That’s the recommendation from a new study reporting most cloth masks just don’t do the job when it comes to stopping the spread of coronavirus within enclosed spaces. Researchers from the University of Waterloo simulated a person breathing in a large room with a cloth face mask on. Despite wearing a mask, the study finds a large buildup of aerosol droplets suspended in the air. Besides raising awareness on the vulnerability of certain face masks, these findings also emphasize the need for proper ventilation indoors. More ventilation means less of a chance for potentially viral aerosols to linger around. Yea, people really need to listen to people who refuse to do and scientific research to back up their bull####. 10% successful is not successful at all.

Big Blitz Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Rev. Jesse Jackson, wife Jacqueline hospitalized for COVID CHICAGO (AP) - The Rev. Jesse Jackson, a famed civil rights leader and two-time presidential candidate, and his wife have been hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19, according to a statement Saturday. Jesse Jackson, 79, is vaccinated against the virus and received his first dose in January during a publicized event as he urged others to receive the inoculation as soon as possible. He and his wife, 77, are being treated at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. "Doctors are currently monitoring the condition of both," according to the statement from Jesse Jackson's nonprofit, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. "There are no further updates at this time," the statement said. "We will provide updates as they become available." A protégé of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson was key in guiding the modern civil rights movement on numerous issues, including voting rights. Despite having been diagnosed for Parkinson's disease, Jackson has remained active, and has advocated for COVID-19 vaccines for Black people, who lag behind white people in the United States' vaccination drive. Earlier this month, he was arrested outside the U.S. Capitol during a demonstration calling for Congress to end the filibuster in order to support voting rights. https://apnews.com/article/health-coronavirus-pandemic-jesse-jackson-bc8777b053dd02ae04ecb60f4ba58cf5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
