None! Asleep at the wheel!

It's a disgrace.

None! Asleep at the wheel!

Surely they’ve taken his license by now.

It's a disgrace.

I am stunned that the media does not hound this issue. We had Warp Speed, and it produced vaccines. Did Joe think it ended there? WTF does this administration do?

There is no reason why a high risk patient shouldn’t get Regeneron as soon as possible. Covenant Health stopped their orders of it and has to send patients to UT. Did we learn nothing from the last surge? I just shake my head when they talk about ICUs being full. I am fifty and have a normal BMI. Blount Memorial called me with my test results and I was on a Regeneron IV the next morning. Two weeks later I’m doing my high intensity interval training with no issues.

Covenant couldn’t have done it because those idiots cancelled their supply.

So there is another alternative besides just the vaccine?

Mississippi did it! First in the world!

And it took that long for it to happen.

I'm torn on this. Are we supposed to now look for the govt for solutions or look to the private sector? I guess I'm torn because at this point, I'm not certain there is much of a distinction between the govt and Big Pharma... and I wonder if the two of them wouldn't be colluding against the people to squeeze out as much from the citizens as possible.

It's actually an antibody that directly binds to the virus, neutralizing it and preventing entry into cells (and thus, replication).

Are you saying it lessens the impact of the virus or completely stops it?

New Zealand's Tyrannical PM Tells Kiwis To 'Blame Australia' For COVID Lockdowns | ZeroHedge

That is one hell of a leap frog...

New Zealand's PM Jacinda Ardern decided to place the entire country on lockdown after finding a single case believed to be (but not proven to be) caused by the delta variant. And she wants desperate Kiwis eager to avoid the two-month horrorshow of lockdowns currently plaguing Australia (which has failed to stop the spread of the virus) to know that the real culprit responsible for their current situation is: Australia.

Specifically, New South Wales, which according to Ardern didn't lock down "hard and fast" enough to stop the virus from leapfrogging to neighboring New Zealand, which hasn't seen a case of COVID in months.

So there is another alternative besides just the vaccine?

Not much.
Therapeutics should be much further down the road. Health care systems have to be proactive in getting patients treatment early and keeping cases from moving to severe. I’ve read there is an unwillingness to give Regeneron if a patient’s symptoms have become severe. That makes no sense to me. Remdisivir has a pretty poor record and is only given after a patient has degraded significantly.

The treatment he got was an elective procedure. He had no symptoms.

That is not an elective surgery and is a 15 min procedure. Hospitals still do those

 

[Rickyvol77]

My personal, non-professional opinion is that we're going to see COVID become endemic and we'll have the option of an annual shot like we do for the flu.

I am scheduling my third shot as i am immunocompromised. That means my booster, if it comes to it, will be shot #4. I'm not necessarily a fan of being a human pincushion, but it beats the alternative for me.

Dr. Vin Gupta and others are now saying the best thing globally is for the US to back off on talk of boosters and focus on vaccinating countries that have not had a rollout yet. Getting as many third world countries vaccinated as possible may even slow things down enough that a booster might no longer be part of the conversation.

You listen to Dr Gupta? I thought you were about credible sources

I see your point but I am starting at the idea, they already believe it is their job to solve every problem. Given that, wtf has he done?

He's far , far more more credible than you

 

[Rickyvol77]

Haha especially when he said for hospitals to break federal law and violate EMTALA!

 

[AshG]

No, I don't listen to any Dr. Gupta. I was just sharing what I found that was said.

Nothing worse than a sick kid. Hopefully she'll turn the corner soon.

Speaking of politics, has anyone heard of any successful therapeutics or more-effective vaccine technologies developed under the current administration?

It is interesting. Trump worst thing ever. But no attempt to do better. Just taking what he did and applying it forward.

U.S. officials' decision on Covid-19 booster shots baffles — and upsets — some scientists — STAT

 

[SlingBlayde]

And it took that long for it to happen.

I’m more interested in the death count as opposed to new cases. IMO the new case stats are just a tool the media uses to keep people in fear.
