Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

China is apparently blaming Canada for the "single" case of Omicron that exists in their country. If it wasn't for a package originating from the cold reaches of Canadian winter, which travelled through the US and Hong Kong over a few weeks first, on which Omicron survived to infect a poor Chinese soul, their unparalleled sanitary measures would have kept it at bay.

I'd be laughing really hard if China was not dead serious about this.

CDC's suggestion to cancel football, band in nearly every US school called 'unrealistic'

If the scientists at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had their way, to curb the spread of Covid-19 right now, nearly every US school would cancel football, wrestling, band and loads of other mainstay school activities.

Interesting read that is pretty much basically damned if you do and damned if you don't.

The CDC is being called out of touch with it's latest guidance because it will never happen.

Thus far, about half the people I've talked to have had some sort of Covid like illness since new years. I think we are all getting this dang thing. One of the major problems with the CDC, as I have said from the start, is that their main duty--to do public health surveillance--was something they were unprepared to do at the beginning of the pandemic and they have gotten progressively worse throughout the pandemic. They are unable to do core surveillance which means that we have no data to be able to make public health recommendations--which is a large part of why their recommendations are garbage. We could never "follow the science" because we weren't doing the scientific basics of counting cases.

Yeah, because there has never been an instance of a person getting covid due to surface contaminant, but somehow it happened...or it could be because this Omicron is insanely contagious. Hmmmm

The Chinese government is setting itself up to look like victims, at least in the eyes of their people, if anything happens to the presentation of the Olympics due to omicron. Whether it's an outbreak prior to or during, they are planning to blame other countries. Canada is a great target for them since we've been having diplomatic issues with them since the Meng Wanzhou affair.

This idea that contamination comes from outside has been their go-to for a while. They were blaming frozen meat in the past, I think even as a possibility that COVID came to them originally from outside in frozen meat. They don't care if it makes no sense as long as their people buy it.
 
Y'all be careful with this. The mandate says that they will reimburse any diagnostic tests for Covid. Thus, the tests to return to work or to get into a concert really shouldn't be covered under this mandate. However, I'm really skeptical as to how they are going to be able to discern a diagnostic test versus a non diagnostic test. This is going to be a cluster.

The USPS tests are 4 free tests every American is eligible for.

You place your order for $0.00 and the USPS ships them too. No reimbursement to file for.

I say take advantage of that offer before trying your luck buying some at a store and trying to get reimbursement. Unless you need one ASAP that is, then get your test in at the store now.

Just an FYI, I believe the kits they are offering actually contain 2 tests.

Minor correction, according to the site it is 4 per residential address.

New Peer-Reviewed Study Shows Ivermectin ‘Significantly’ Reduces COVID Infections, Hospitalization, and Mortality Rates › American Greatness

He really pushed the fact that it's peer reviewed and proven to me. Yet one look at the articles source and I already know it's complete bull shit before opening the link. And sure enough when I did there. is no evidence that it this study was peer reviewed, just that they said it was.

So I replied to him with this:

I'd repöy with: you Know what has been proven to be a really good pre-emptive measure by many peer-record studies: vaccination
 
www.businessinsider.com

One chart shows people vaccinated with Moderna had the best protection against COVID-19 in 2021

The huge new CDC data set backs up what other studies have found: that Moderna is edging out Pfizer and that J&J is offering less protection.
www.businessinsider.com www.businessinsider.com

I didn't know the dose of mRNA in the Pfizer and Moderna shots were not the same. The expressed antigen (S) is identical in both vaccines - it's the original SARS-COV-2 sequence published in January 2020. I thought the main differences were slight variations in the 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the mRNA and the composition of the lipid delivery vehicle.

I learned from the article above that Moderna shots contain 100 micrograms of mRNA while Pfizer contains 30 micrograms. That alone likely explains the generally greater short-term side effects people seem to experience with Moderna (at least anecdotally). According to the article, it seems there was a slight advantage to getting Moderna during 2020 as well.

I know the Moderna booster is a 1/2 shot while Pfizer gives a full shot for the booster. Given the above, it seems the Moderna 1/2 shot actually still has more mRNA than the Pfizer full shot (50 vs 30 micrograms).

Anyway, interesting.
 
Just got back from betting my booster.

My first two doses last year were Pfizer. My booster was Moderna.

The nurse who gave me the booster said she heard Pfizer, Pfizer Moderna is best combination for long term prevention.
