there was no takedown though. The GBD was adopted as policy over the next year even. What the gently caress is the complaint. That winter 2020/21 had too many restrictions?

quote:

It’s also possible that compromises might have been struck. One tenet of the Great Barrington Declaration was that schools should reopen immediately and broadly. In hindsight, it is now clear that reopening schools could have been done safely, as was done in many European nations in 2020 and in the U.S. in the fall of 2021, even before vaccines became available for children. A public forum between scientists might not have accepted all of the reasoning in the declaration, but might have reached a vital compromise, which would have benefitted millions of children, particularly poor or disadvantaged children — and their parents. Unfortunately, we failed them all.

Is it clear?

quote:

A dialogue might also have led to better strategies for nursing home residents, the group most decimated by Covid-19. The U.S. did not — but could have — launched a large, registry-based randomized trial in this cohort, similar to the U.K.’s recovery trial. Such a trial might have helped vaccinate more of these at-risk individuals sooner and, with the first hint of vaccine efficacy in November 2020, all participants could have been crossed over to receive vaccines. Other intense strategies to aggressively test nursing home workers may have been proposed and received unanimous support.

Why would a public debate have led to better nursing home policy. Nursing homes, in general, are warehouses for the unwanted staffed by the superexploited. No one in power gives a poo poo about what happens inside.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

I think this might make chuds more inclined to take it when they're at death's door.

I continue to be really disappointed in people I know who I think of as smart and respectable that minimize and ignore. It brings me the most despair. People won't listen to me about it and worse, they won't even engage about it and justify their positions. They just put their heads in the sand and move on.

Re: original antigenetic sin or whatever that thing with prior coronavirus infection is - I had Kawasaki disease as a child, which people think is caused by exposure to a (corona?)virus. There are many parallels between MIS-C and KD, and I wonder how that prior immune response (cytokine storm?) affects covid response. If IL-6 response to a coronavirus decades ago caused an autoimmune disease, then would that mean more or less risk from SARS-CoV-2?

I will say that when I was exposed to C19 i didn't have symptoms or IGG response when tested later, but i did have some nice little foot peeling

I’m so glad I don’t live there, they’re just so irresponsible. It’s a reminder to my wife why we’re not going out and doing things like eating dinner or whatever. You honestly can’t trust anyone, not even family and vaccine mandates in dining in mean nothing as do masking requirements where people can walk around with face shields, bandanas, and dick nose.

Woo covid thread my moms out of the hospital, a week getting O2 and remdesivir and a panoply of other drugs and shes home.

Shes got an incentive spirometer shes supposed to use 2-3x/hr til the shortness of breath goes away, which I'm told could be weeks. So that sucks but if that's the extent of the damage , I'll take it.

I visited her in the hospital quite a bit. I think its crazy to just let random idiots visit Covid patients, but there was a lot of stuff to do for her that the staff wouldn't or couldn't stay on top of and I know it made her stay less miserable.

But yeah seeing a guy dicknosing a surgical mask and clumsily donning a gown, mumbling 'good enough' and walking into a covid room was just a real stark reminder of the scale of stupidity we're working with.

Anyway, back to the past, this thread moves fast.
