Boy, friends getting positive test that didn't take a test, nursing friends getting hours cut. Amazing... and it fits your agenda too. That's a plus.Quote:

Can you ask him why? I work in Jackson, and they're begging us and offering inventive pay to work extra. I just got a text yesterday that they've raised the incentive pay because they are so desperate for nurses. We just had to open a second floor and another ICU for COVID patients.Quote:

But the guy who used a ONE day death toll in AL is ok??? gotcha, ........Quote:

It makes no logical sense to move sports into the flu season. None whatsoever. There won't be a vaccine for Covid between now and Sept/Oct.
I'm always skeptical of these stories about someone's friend that said such and such. Someone always has a "friend" that said this or that. I'm wondering if the nurse might be a PACU or OR nurse that had hours cut because we've had to pull back on elective procedures in the area. I could see that scenario. We only have 1 ICU bed in the Tier 1 and 2 hospitals today, and it's been that way for weeks. Y'all be careful and don't anything dumb like fall off a ladder or get into an ATV accident.Quote:

Supposed to begin the key final testing on July 27th and are giving it to 30,000 people I believe. Can anyone comment any further if you know about this and what it means?
I'm pretty sure this is how the zombie apocalypse will start.Quote:

I'm beginning to think T cells are the more important route to immunity, as opposed to just antibodiesQuote:

My county was #1 in our state per capita for a stretch. It's not easy, but if you give a little less fricks than others, it's possible. Throw your mask in the garbage, and shoot double birds on your way to Walmart shaking everyone's hand (haha)Quote:

That would have to be an incredibly safe vaccine with more or less non-existent side effects. Maybe you could just give it to the vulnerable, but a lot of the vulnerable tend to not respond as well to vaccines.Quote:

Then throw in potential booster shots every few monthsQuote:

The antibody response is sounding a lot like the flu. It doesn't last forever. That's one of the reasons you have to get a new flu shot every year. The other is mutations and we don't know about those with this one yet.Quote:

I'm not anti freedom of information but ... I want accurate and not manipulated information.Quote:

I know a few good sources and have since found others. Also dove deep into Kennedy assassination a little later. Kennedy was trying to stop what is going on now. Wasn't a fan of JFK before I studied it (family hated him) and came away a HUGE fan. The most patriotic (to the Constitution) President of the 20th century.
When I brought up what I knew ... people scoffed at it. Around 13 or 14 years ago threw up my hands and said eventually our freedom would gradually be eroded and we would passively end up totally socialist, but hoped it didn't happen in my lifetime. However, not everyone is as asleep as I thought they were (although I had been kinda dozing myself some). The riots and the way they progressed reawakened me.
Those folks that weren't asleep elected Trump. When Trump was elected, that was not part of the plan. And there are reasons there is a wave of stuff happening now.
Depending on the outcome of some future events, you may get EXACTLY what you would like Comrade ... and then some.
It's extremely troubling that it's happening, but I'm still amazed at the people that just fall in line with Trump's totalitarian tendencies.Quote:
