  1. New study starting to properly test the impact of inhaled steroids as C19 treatments. Really interesting and promising. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200707/Asthma-inhalers-being-trialed-for-treatment-of-COVID-19.aspx
  2. That's likely part of it. Hoping the weaker mutation is real like that Italian virologist suggested.
  3. I would argue that a mask helps the wearer just as much as it prevent them from touching their mouth, nose, even rubbing eyes - main virus entrances.
  4. An antibody test wouldn't be as effective so close to the actual illness. I've seen recommendations taking it 2 weeks after symptoms disappear.
  5. Regarding grounding, here's a cool 'grounded' mouse pad. Simple way to get some free electrons while on the computer.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNG6MRK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3M23BJZDZS43T&psc=1
  6. If this were happening to a significant amount of relatively healthy people, I'd be more concerned.
  7. I do. Very nice on those cooler summer nights. Used a grill cover on it for the winter...put the grill in the garage.
  8. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4378297/ I think there's another I posted a couple pages ago...didn't read through them all, but there is some interesting data. We know that inflammation is a significant contributor to may health issues.
  9. Breastfeeding is such a good thing for infants - this being one of those! We've experienced the same with multiple kid and the Croup & RSV. Babies had minimal symptoms and quick recoveries.
  10. Yup, BIG difference between CBD and THC. Not molecular, but the way it binds to our CB1 receptors causing the psychoactive effects. I'm all for medical use of CBD oil, but there's no medical need for THC.
  11. Promise to keep posting model runs here in the winter.
  12. "There have been no new cases of the novel coronavirus among the hundreds who flouted social distancing guidelines and attended pool parties at Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks over Memorial Day weekend, a state health official said this week." Could be something to the whole outside, pool, beach thing...
  13. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265077/ Go figure...
  14. If this mutation is real, I think we all can hope it's happening everywhere...
  15. Great news: https://www.foxnews.com/science/moderna-positive-phase-i-data-potential-coronavirus-vaccine The Phase I trial of mRNA-1273 saw all patients receive a 25 microgram, 100 microgram or 250 microgram dose. Fifteen patients were in each group and those who participated in the study received two doses of the potential vaccine via an injection in the upper arm, 28 days apart. At day 43, the group that received 25 micrograms, saw the same level of antibodies as people who had recovered from the disease. At day 43, the 100 microgram dose group saw levels of antibodies that "significantly exceeded the levels" seen in those who had recovered from the disease, the company added.
  16. Operation Warp Speed. Let's do this... Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said earlier this month that it was "doable if things fall in the right place" to have a vaccine by January.
  17. The fact that you think the Democratic party wouldn't do the exact same thing is a pretty good indication that you are making a bad faith, non-objective argument.
  18. Yet with the party swapping that regularly occurs in the exec branch via the democratic vote, it tends to balance out the judiciary. I would argue that the majority of the judiciary branch as a whole, has been appointed by Democrats. This admin is balancing that out. The SCOTUS is the same, for the most part, but has shifted right due to timing of new appointments.
  19. That's the beauty of how our Republic is setup...the executive branch can be as secretive as it wants, yet it's still accountable to the other 2. This POTUS was impeached, there are lawsuits against him, and he has zero authority over the SCOTUS. We the people need to let the process work...is it perfect? No. Does it weed out all corruption? No. Is it the best form of government in this world? I would argue, yes.
  20. I don't support corruption of any kind, political, professional, personal, etc. Let the law of the land expose corruption and apply judgement as the founding fathers intended. You or I don't have the absolute truth, knowledge, or authority. All else is biased opinion.
  21. So this EO is to allow the aforementioned areas to move into Phase 1, I believe.
