Last I recall, she was threatening to contact her critics’ kids’ schools and express concerns that CR boxes were emitting microplastics.

Yeah I think that was when someone suggested not blasting yourself and random passerby in the face & eyes constantly with "222nm UV" from lamps manufactured in China that you had no way of testing or verifying the proper operation.

Where Naomi openly discusses using the CR-Box name to drive search traffic and help her business. Seems reasonable to get a donation for that given they have the trademark and she’s using their name to bring business to her site.

Ok so she's not confused about different kinds of IP, she's just mad trademarks are there to stop this specific behavior.

Just did! I'm in Texas so maybe they don't really care that much. I got Moderna at the end of September at CVS and just got the moth juice just now at Costco.

The shot felt totally different from the mRna shot. Like the mRna felt absolutely nothing but later get a bit sore at the injection but with Novavax right after they gave me the shot my injection site immediately felt so weird and off, I could felt it flowing through my arm and I felt a bit off, but 30 seconds later feeling nothing at all in my arm at all. Doesn't even feel sore

Did you have to pay for it? I already got an mRNA xbb when they came out.

By 4 years old, your child should be able to speak in complete sentences, answer simple questions, and have back-and-forth conversations, says Eric Ball, MD, a pediatrician at Providence Mission Hospital in Orange County, California.2 “Almost all of what they say should be intelligible to a stranger,” Dr. Ball advises.

Additionally, your child should be able to follow multi-step commands with three or more steps, says Dr. Ball.2 For example, after being given instructions, your 4-year-old should be able to pick up a toy from the floor, put it away in a toy basket, and then come back to sit on your lap to read a book.

Your child’s cognitive skills are developing quickly at this age too, says Brittany Ferri, PhD, OTR/L, CPRP, an occupational therapist. “Kids at this age should be able to count, identify colors, shapes, numbers, and letters, as well as use pronouns appropriately,” she says.1 They should also be able to draw a person with at least three body parts.3

At 4 years old, children are inquisitive and love to digest new information. You’ll be amazed at how much your child can comprehend. If you tell or read them a story, they should be able to recall large parts of it.1 Not only that, but 4-year-olds are great at making up their own stories. Their imaginations are really taking off at this age.2

"Four-year-olds can understand most of what is going on in the world,” says Dr. Ball. “They are learning the difference between 'real' and 'pretend' and they often are developing vivid imaginations (think fairy tales and monsters).”

The COVID dataset is now 135 broken rear end lines of data instead of 109 from last year.

"INPATIENT BEDS USED COVID" = 15,198
*Noting that MA, WV, NM, and Ameican Samos reported blanks in this data.

These Four Columns Exist- but the above states also reported blanks in the last column
previous_day_admission_adult_covid_confirmed
previous_day_admission_adult_covid_suspected
previous_day_admission_pediatric_covid_confirmed
previous_day_admission_pediatric_covid_suspected

This total is 6,577

staffed_icu_adult_patients_confirmed_covid - This totals 2,707

staffed_icu_adult_patients_confirmed_and_suspected_covid - This totals 2,098 as its missing NM/MA/WV data all all the states differ.


The total of the below 4 lines used to equal or be close to "INPATIENT BED USED COVID" from above.

total_adult_patients_hospitalized_confirmed_and_suspected_covid = 14,523
total_adult_patients_hospitalized_confirmed_covid =21,328

Some of the blanks you pointed out with those states show up as blank in here too, and it lists the individual hospitals that go into that other report.

Looking back through my version histories of both of those and it looks like those states are just blank for those sections and have been for at least a month.

I just never noticed cause I focus on one state.

There has been no major new variant since omicron emerged in late 2021, and even the most recent omicron sub-variant to emerge, BA.5, has had a long run as the dominant strain in the U.S., prevailing since early July.

This doesn't mean that a more dangerous new strain couldn't emerge. However, public health experts take comfort from recent patterns. The trend during most of 2022 suggests that a rapid succession of ever-more-confounding — and vaccine-evading — variants is not inevitable. If a major new variant does emerge, mRNA vaccines like those made by Moderna and Pfizer can be updated fairly easily to fight it.

In hindsight, we all should have seen the covid unresponse coming given how influenza was so brutally normalized as being just a minor head cold (when it was previously the deadliest infectious disease year after year). I knew the covid vaccines were going to be hosed up after years of witnessing health care workers fight the government 2G tracking juice, it just gives you the flu, my freedoms and bodily autonomy (ban gays and abortion, deus vult!)

I actually had my first encounters with people who even acknowledged it. Not a peep until about two weeks ago, I was at the grocery store and one of the stockboys decided to be a wag and tell me a couple of COVID jokes, one being about how you could tell masks were useless because you can smell a fart through one, and I forget the other but it was equally a knee-slapper designed to try to make me feel foolish for masking. If dude had been about 10% more of a dickhead about it I was just going to just say my (imaginary) wife died of COVID and I had to promise my (imaginary) six-year-old I'd try to be safe for her when I went out so she wouldn't be left alone in the world and see if I could get the guy's brain to vapor-lock.

Two days later, in a different grocery store, an older woman in a mask noted that I was the only other person masked up. I nodded. "But I'm masked up because I'm 70," she said. "I'm not 70, but I still don't want COVID," I replied. She thought about it a sec and nodded and went on her way.
