Mysterious Disappearance of Flu in San Diego Prompted Call for Audit of COVID Records
As it turns out, recorded seasonal influenza cases have literally nosedived by 98% across the globe.
This improbable phenomenon has led a number of experts to ask, “Has Covid killed off the flu?”
Minnesota legislators say COVID-19 death totals have been inflated in their state, call for an audit
Two Minnesota state representatives are calling for a national audit of the published coronavirus death totals nationwide, claiming that the figures have been inflated by including individuals who died of obviously non-illness related reasons (like car crashes) after they had a positive test for the novel coronavirus.
Why on earth are we surprised? Do I need to suggest to anyone, "Follow the money?" There's free $fed and $state for anything and everything that says "COVID". My wife is a hospital IA, she tells me that except employees, they haven't given a flu shot on her floor in weeks, or run a flu test. Pretty obvious why. There's no money in flu prevention or treatment. Now that we've created a "black market" for COVID diagnoses and treatment, I won't be a bit surprised if the next step is COVID Al Capones. That is, if we don't already have some in DC and certain state capitols.

We Had the Vaccine from the Start—You Just Weren't Allowed to Take It
The vaccine, a triumph of medical science known as mRNA-1273, was designed in a single weekend, just two days after Chinese researchers published the virus's genetic code on January 11, 2020.
Too bad we don't have a president that knows how to organize an orderly Federal distribution and a nationwide vaccination program. Trump has surrounded himself with those that will praise him but are as incompetent as he is.Rogue One wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 11:08 amWe Had the Vaccine from the Start—You Just Weren't Allowed to Take It

Is there any subject you won't turn into an excuse for political mud-slinging? Give it a rest.
The subject is Covid deaths and a president that is incapable of dealing with the sharply increasing infections and deaths now at a rate of a death every 10 minutes.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 12:32 pmIs there any subject you won't turn into an excuse for political mud-slinging?

Rest time and recess is over!

The rate of Covid deaths of one every 10 minutes was for the state of California.
The rate of Covid deaths in the entire United States is approximately one per minute and over three thousand per day.
What are Trump and his flunkie Pence doing about this pandemic? Pence appears to be hiding and Trump is attempting to urge the secretary of state of Georgia to commit election fraud.
Sad!

Since my "party" is common sense and I detest partisan BS and partisan propaganda about equally, I was trying, very politely, to not have to point that out. Now that it's been pointed out anyway, I'll return to not pointing it out.
Thanks for letting me know that.Rogue One wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 11:07 amHowie, absolutely nothing you've stated here is true.telcoman wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 10:37 am

That is all I need to know.
That is exactly why it is important for every American to be vaccinated. The now three vaccines prevent hospitalizations even if you contact Covid.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 5:56 pmFrom the scuttlebutt I hear at the hospital where my wife works, there hasn't been a single fatality in Arkansas of anyone who was vaccinated prior to an admission, regardless of age or risk factors. Arkansas is tiny and rural and maybe not the best laboratory, but still. What I glean from the Israeli study doesn't seem to address this, it covers rate of disease and rate of hospitalization but I didn't see any conclusive data about subsequent mortality. Is this because the Pfizer vaccine is near 100% effective in preventing death when administered prior? Does anybody know if this has been analyzed?
Agreed, but none of that answers the question.telcoman wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 6:34 pmThat is exactly why it is important for every American to be vaccinated. The now three vaccines prevent hospitalizations even if you contact Covid.
I received my second Moderna vaccination shot a few hours ago today.
Many studies of this virus are underway and it is important to follow the science. My seven year old grandson already had the virus and tested positive. He had 103 fever for two days and after that he was fine. His younger sister missed three weeks of kindergarten and was not happy.
As you probably know the Pfizer vaccine is limited to the locations (usually hospitals) that have the proper freezers to keep that vaccine at the proper cold storage temperature.
The Moderna vaccine can be stored in regular freezers
