You laugh at people for the reaction here? Because they care about the disease? Because they care about saving lives? Thank you again for your drive by post of how little people where you live care in your conservative utopia.

Regeneron is in stage 3 so we should have some results soon.

Jesus christ.

They're not genetically sequencing the virus in every person with covid so its actually impossible to know how many reinfections there are. Theres been 2 definite reinfections but its possible there's more.

Because an anecdote isn't a drug trial? Trump isn't out of the woods yet. They've been too cheeky about his condition to know all the particulars. Let's see what the results show. Maybe regeneron will help a great deal.

Yeah I know the fda cdc and nih think this drug doesn't help but what does covid19crusher think?

My God. The best scientists and the best scientific organizations in the world tell us that the hcq trials have either shown no efficacy or increased mortality. Why the **** should I believe you or someone anonymous Twitter account over them? Take your conspiracy shit to Facebook and Twitter.

Q anon trash.

Yes. I remember that good April storm there for Maine. It was the biggest storm of the season up there. We forecast for Maine DOT.

I thought the County was the basically the only place with above average snowfall in New England last year?

Early still, but probably a good thing to see a -NAO pop up in the weeklies in November.

That might be right in the grand scheme of things, but in the current paradigm, provinces do have different covid restrictions. Quebec, for example, had/has more lax rules, and likewise, has had far more disease and death than the other provinces thus far. The Atlantic Canada provinces got together and decided to bubble together and not allow other Canadians who don't have residency or anyone else for that matter come here to prevent spread. The rest of Canada has not done that. I'm alright with state's rights, but in the same vein, that doesn't mean that there's no place for leadership on the national level. We don't have that right now. Leadership doesn't have to mean legislation. Countries like Germany have navigated the pandemic relatively well, why do Americans accept that similar couldn't have been or couldn't be done here? So much talk about American greatness, but where's the beef?

I live in Canada, there's plenty of debate going on here. If you think that the US is the only place where there is healthy political debate or disagreement, i don't know what to tell you. Your view of Canada and Europe is cartoonish. Trump is not for relatively weak central government, he has authoritarian tendencies and admires dictators.

Synthetic ones like cheese since they are produced in mice.

That's the UKMET Seasonal from September. The new one comes out on the 11th.

Dr. Daniel Griffin on TWiV suspects that the president might already be beyond the initial viral phase and into week 2 given the reference to lung findings and the decision to use steroids. Steroids wouldn't be prescribed so early as they could be detrimental in the initial viral phase. (They weaken the immune response.) https://youtu.be/ZFpp3pIRjGQ

I'm not sure why it matters where the virus originated in discussing past and current us response. The vast majority of scientist agree that this is a zoonotic spillover event. Those are more likely in an area with high population density and high diversity of species, like China. I think China deserves criticism for the initial brief cover up...but that only loses a few weeks on the timeline...everything else that occurs after is squarely fair game.

Important to keep in mind when discussing Trump's condition. Trump is around day 5/6. Boris Johnson was hospitalized 9 days after his positive test.

Lol https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/05/health/contact-tracing-white-house.html The White House has decided not to trace the contacts of guests and staff members at the Rose Garden celebration 10 days ago for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, where at least eight people, including the president, may have become infected, according to a White House official familiar with the plans. Instead, it has limited its efforts to notifying people who came in close contact with Mr. Trump in the two days before his Covid diagnosis Thursday evening. It has also cut the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has the government’s most extensive knowledge and resources for contact tracing, out of the process

Exactly. I posted three examples of prominent Republicans, including the president, undermining public health via mask use. The response I receive is none of that matters because americans are unhealthy. We live in a world where Americans rightly or wrongly look to the president, other politicians, and pundits for guidance. These people have millions of followers and supporters. They've made things worse.

Both sides!

Blah blah blah.
