COVID-19 - On the Ground

Is that photoshopped? Lyin ted looks like he's put on a few.

Just pass some laws like the Repubs have already done with their Anti-Voting Bills.

If I have learned anything from the state of Texas over the last 18 months, it is that voting in the US is a privilege and flying off to Cancun is your right.

And this guy wants to be prez

And does that (somewhat) lower number make up for the economic devastation that Newsome's policies have wrought? Apparently a sizeable number of Californians don't think so.

“Sizable number” is the stupidest of the stupid arguments. A sizable number thought that non-white people were inferior to white people (a sizable number still do). A sizable number of people believe that the government can force a woman to seek only medical care that they approve. A sizable number of people thought that ownership of other people was acceptable. A sizable number of people are idiots.

Yes, you've made it very obvious that anyone who doesn't think like you do is not only insignificant, but is a waste of oxygen. There's a lot of that around here.

Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern evade humoral immune responses from infection and vaccination

Can't wait to see waht this causes some Republicans to do...

"Brazilian researchers have found that a molecule in the venom of a type of snake inhibited coronavirus reproduction in monkey cells, a possible first step toward a drug to combat the virus causing COVID-19."

so here’s something crazy...that component is a member of the phospholipase A2 group of proteins and is related to the neurotoxic component in some rattlesnake venoms (mojave toxin, canebrake toxin and concolor toxin). our bodies also produce PLA2s in places like the pancreas.

i think i posted the link several pages back, but recent studies have shown that in severe covid disease, people have high amounts of PLA2 proteins circulating through the body

so, the takeaway is that PLA2s can both harm and help...depending on their molecular structure and substrate interactions

Scary.

Should have had a serious lockdown at the beginning, instead of half assed lockdowns where too many things were considered "essential".

and that study only looked at alpha, beta and gamma variants

who knows what picture is ultimately going to emerge from delta and mu

We just have to make it through the winter; we all know MU won't make it through March.

No where did I say any of that. Just pointed out the “sizable number” fallacy. Of course you and TDub ran with the inferences.

When presented with compelling evidence to the contrary I have no hesitation in changing my mind and refining my opinions. Emphasis on compelling

you say it daily, you make it clear daily. No one needs an interpreter to understand your disdain of those that aren't 100% on board with exactly what you believe.

how anyone can take issue with these statements is bizarre

sizable numbers of people doing awful things is part of human history. why is it a negative to point out those flaws?

we learn from our mistakes, or we end up repeating them

lol...we should all take our moral leanings from a cosby apologist

So, a "sizeable number" of people determining that their Governor is not representing their best interests and initiating a lawful recall campaign is "awful"? Really?
