That's incredible.

Effing Smashmouth!

That seems a really high estimate

Kristi Noem is going to be a problem. Something like letting Sturgis go on should tank any career she'd have in politics but I figure it will make her an early front runner in 2024.

This showed up in my email yesterday from my Dad. I simply LOLed back at him and then posted a link to stats that showed that the 11x less stat that's there was total bullshit. He didn't reply, but many of his like minded military buddies sure liked it. |
Hopefully this isn't a big problem with the vaccine, but it's a good illustration of why you need complete testing for a drug you plan to give to tens of millions of people.

That Sturgis number seems high but didn't they find most of the cases in Italy could be traced back to a soccer match?

Some pretty good news I guess. Probably premature with the "near perfect" but I understand having to keep momentum for your company and play to the market.
There's a fair (or more than negligible) change that real & legit good/great vaccine news will come out before Nov. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/08/healt...grm/index.html Quote:

Email from my kid's school.
1 kid was at school displaying "Covid-Like Symptoms" (which is like, everything under the sun). Tested negative. However, they are still sending that kid's entire class home to quarantine for 2 weeks. In short ... an entire classroom is sent home for 2 weeks because a kid had a cold. Or allergies. |
Shit like that makes me crazy. You can’t go back to in person school then push the panic button when someone inevitably gets sick.

Exactly.
It gets better here, too. Colorado has had major wildfire issues lately. Air quality has been shit. PLUS, we just went from 90 degrees on Sunday, to 30 degrees and snow. And it'll be back to 80 by Friday. Think that's not going to trigger allergies and colds? They'll be lucky to have a single class still in person if they're gonna keep this nonsense up. |

From what I can tell - from a state that is largely keeping kids home - it's simply a political relief valve. Parents want their kids in school for a variety of reasons, and so in a bunch of places, school districts are going to give them what they want until there's justification to do what they should have done to begin with. In sports, it's the equivalent of starting the senior because he's supposed to get the job and you don't want to hear it from the parents and letting him fail so you have clear-cut evidence that the freshman is better. |
TBH a shortage of test subject monkeys never occurred to me.

That's a good analogy. |

When I was very first employed I ran across a job that was for something like "Head of Maintenance at an Animal Research Facility" and reading a little further it became obvious that they were looking for someone to clean up the chimp testing facility every day & they did their best to fill the ad with lots of positive talk of the benefits and the 'beautiful facilities' but I can't think of a worse job "No thanks, I'll keep my soul." |

I want to believe test animals are treated as humanely as possible but my gut tells me it's maybe a couple levels better than a cow processing facility. |

We tried to adopt a dog from the Beagle Freedom project - a group that adopts beagles out from testing facilities. Beagles are chosen for that role because they tend not to fight back no matter what testers do to them. It's a very secretive process. The labs are willing to play ball and release some dogs to the group for adoption, but, for most of them, the group is not allowed to post the dogs online like a typical rescue might. They don't want anyone to know where the dogs come from exactly and what companies are involved. (This is mostly cosmetics and other household item testing done by large corporations). So you just put your name on a list and you might be contacted if the group is able to get dogs from a mystery lab in your area. |

Hey, good for you. My opinion of you has gone up significantly! :) Quote:
You bring up a good point about cosmetics. I know there is a lot of gray area. However, animal testing for coronavirus vaccine/therapeutics is a no brainer to me. Animal testing for cosmetics is unnecessary. I can't help but feel there is more animal testing than is actually needed because it's convenient or cost effective. |
PSA: avoid eating inside a restaurant.
Haven't eaten inside a restaurant since forever now. We did contemplate eating outside at a Mellow Mushroom but decided against it. I do miss it. https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/10/healt...ess/index.html Quote:

I mean it's definitely student logic though... we all have Covid, so why can't we have a party together?
|
I can say there's a Pac12 baseball program that isn't making kids with clear COVID symptoms get tested, isn't doing tracing, and isn't having kids that do test positive notify their family, and quarantining is inconsistent based on who you are. One highly regarded freshman left last weekend and will likely transfer because of what's going on there.

Haven't eaten inside a restaurant since March 7th, I think it was. Wasn't planning on it until next year at earliest.

If we’re still not sure about the possibility that people with antibodies can be re-infected, does that also call into question our ability to create an effective vaccine?
|
Quote:
It very much remains to be seen. But I think the consensus is that this will be more like the flu vaccine (yearly and quasi-effective) than, say, an MMR shot that you get one or twice and are done with. COVID-19 appears to mutate slower than the flu but still faster than many other viruses. SI |
What I have been reading is that we will, hopefully, be able to engineer a vaccine that produces better immunity than actual infection does.
And, hopefully, with yearly boosters, that supercharged immunity will be enough. |
One of my friends has been trying to make the "Vid" a thing. We have to constantly tell him, there is already a shortened version of the name: "Rona".
|
Even before the shutdown and this became a big deal, whenever anyone in the office coughed or sneezed someone would say "You got da Rona!"
|

[sarcasm] Why do you hate our essential workers? Do you have turpentine in your soul?!? [/sarcasm] |

Yeah. Why try to make something else a thing? Also when I hear Vid, I think of a YouTube video. |

We went to Costco early morning and picked up supplies (can't beat their bacon and some frozen meals).
Everyone was playing nice except for this woman who was louder than she needed to be when talking to her family, she had her mask under her nose. One of those covidiots. BTW my regular Costco multi-vitamin (Kirkland brand) was only like 65% of Vitamin D daily dose and got some One-a-day which was like 125%. Beats me how really effective Vitamin D is but it does reassure me some that I now get more than the recommended daily dose. |
From our favorite family doctor, he recommends Vitamin D & C.
