Similar to last few days. Slightly down. Will be interesting to see if they continue to climb or level off. They had to go back up at least some with such a huge case rise
Vaccine by Pfizer showing promise in clinical trials. Saying early results showing it is producing antibodies equal to greater antibodies than the actual virus.
An article I read said that two treatment options are showing promise. Chemical 11-A and monoclonal antibodies. 11A is an antiviral that attaches to the protease and essentially halts replication. Animal trials have proven to be encouraging, and human trials start soon. The monoclonal antibodies are more of a preventative treatment that stops the virus before it starts. 2,000 people will take part in these trials in the coming weeks. The good thing about these types of treatments are that the trial process goes by much quicker than the vaccine trials. Yeah, a vaccine that would nip this shit in the bud would be nice, but if we can figure out a way effectively treat this thing, the wait for a vaccine becomes less urgent.
Sweden's case numbers look to be going down considerably. Is anyone following it closely enough to know if testing is remaining consistent? Have they changed policies? It would be a pretty good sign for us if they are starting to hit herd immunity.

Yeah, I'm also interested in what's going on. I found this:
Some more tidbits in there: https://www.businessinsider.com/swed...-worked-2020-7Quote:
Experts pointed to a host of reasons for the shifting numbers. They credited myriad factors, including the arrival of summer, with fewer people in offices creating more distance, and Sweden quietly taking steps to protect people in care homes. Johan Carlson, the director-general of Sweden's public health agency, credited the "effect of us keeping up the social distancing" for the decline.

"The short answer is, that there is no short answer," Pekka Nuorti, an epidemiologist in Finland's Tampere University, told Business Insider, pointing to changes in testing, changes in behaviors, and more time spent outside.
It looks like their testing is about the same as it's been.

Just found out my cousin has it. Not hospitalized at this time. Said she always wears a mask but for whatever reason went to a wedding and funeral without it and that did it.

First weekly rise in deaths since April
Donny boy bent the knee to the crazies and put on the mask publicly.
To quote Mr. Graham: "Better late than never, but never late is better."
Oh, it's only a severe flu season....a disease we have a vaccination for and several drugs that specifically treat it. Got any evidence to counteract those FACTS? I
will spare you the humiliation...,.you don't. I take it you haven't been personally affected yet. Hopefully you never are.
