Monoclonal antibodies aren't really used anymore because they're not effective against omicron and new variants. They do have effective antivirals in the form of paxlovid, which he is on.

There are some mAbs effective against some subvariants.

If you are the president of the United States, you can have your infection sequenced within a day, and if there is a monoclonal antibody that works against it, it will be waiting for you in the executive mansion.



Low numbers better. Bebtelovimab is still probably a “get out of jail free” card.

Also, if Biden dies, I think we end up with a vacant VP spot until after midterms and potentially through the rest of her presidency. This will be bizarre, because no VP means no one to count the votes according to the constitution and ECA.

Filling a vacant VP slot just requires a simple majority from both congressional houses, but there is no tie breaker for a tied senate.


e: prior to the 25th, the president pro tem would count votes when there was a VP vacancy, but they cannot cast tie breaking votes.

This is pointless trivia, but U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 3, Clause 4:

quote:

The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.

The thing is that there are thresholds for some matters that do not require equal division—constitutional amendments, treaties, expulsions of members of Congress, veto overrides. I’ve always thought that the vice president should vote on 50:50 issues even if passage requires two-thirds, just because they can.

LUVERNE, Alabama, July 22 (Reuters) - A subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co has used child labor at a plant that supplies parts for the Korean carmaker's assembly line in nearby Montgomery, Alabama, according to area police, the family of three underage workers, and eight former and current employees of the factory.

Underage workers, in some cases as young as 12, have recently worked at a metal stamping plant operated by SMART Alabama LLC, these people said. SMART, listed by Hyundai in corporate filings as a majority-owned unit, supplies parts for some of the most popular cars and SUVs built by the automaker in Montgomery, its flagship U.S. assembly plant...

Alabama may or may not need tougher workplace child labor rules, but it’s entirely appropriate for Alabama to have different—and, indeed, lower—child labor standards than the rest of the United States. The reason is that while having a minimum working age is good, money is also good. Alabama is a lot poorer than the rest of the United States, and there are very good reasons for Alabamans to make different choices in this regard than other Americans. That’s true whether you’re talking about an individual calculus or a collective calculus. Child labor rules that are appropriate for the rest of the United States would be unnecessarily immiserating in much poorer Alabama. Rules that are appropriate in Alabama would be far too flimsy for the richer and more child welfare conscious US states. Split the difference and you’ll get rules that are appropriate for nobody. The current system of letting different states have different rules is working fine. Children in California and New York have gotten much safer over the past 20 years, and Alabama has gotten a lot richer. *
