Sars Cov 2 … the grinder continues to eat away at resources and humanity.

Hope you both get some breaks soon. The pressure sucks.

The weather was rather awesome and awful at the same time. I got caught at a friend's house in a huge blizzard to decided to take advantage of his great view from the 22nd floor. Not much else to do as the trains got canceled for acouple of hours until they cleared off the tracks. Enjoy nature's fury

Wow, Snuff! I've never seen it from that high up before. Glad you had a place to wait it out! You're right, awesome and awful at the same time! Kind of cool.

Bump!!

Neat view!

Another good article on it....

Did Convalescent Plasma for COVID-19 Unleash Viral Mutation?
— Evidence of viral "evolution" found in immunocompromised patient

Little man is singing in the other room....

“I am a flower. You are a flower. Everybody is a flower.” Some dowop type sound noises and something about water and sunshine.



And then back to.... I think the mRNA path is bad bombin’.

COVID Variants May Arise in People with Compromised Immune Systems
The case history of a U.K. man in his 70s shows how selective “pressures” bring about viral mutations

Less than 50%

Rapid evolution of the virus has been documented in other patients as well, including a Boston man hospitalized at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, which was reported December 3 in the New England Journal of Medicine. Jonathan Li, a virologist and an author of that case study, says his group also found multiple mutations, but they didn’t understand the implications until later. Once those same mutations were described in B.1.1.7 and other variants and were found to change the virus’s behavior, “that’s when we realized [it] was a harbinger of what’s to come.”

Oh man..... It’s embarrassing to be a human right now.... I am going to just keep planning because....

Fuck... they are all easing restrictions as cases plateau.

Well, at minimum it’s another month of supply ordering..... Minked.

Thanks dear. I love getting up high. Moscow got livable flats at both 45 and even 150 floors. Much better than my one-story shack for sure! Hope everyone is having a good day. I'm considering checking my blood Covid immunity levels soon and perhaps launch a Sputnik into my veins.

TB.... brainwashing..... it is unsettling.....

Considering that you enjoy your movement :) that is not an awful path.

Stay safe.

What brains could teach scientists about the lasting effects of Covid-19
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health hope to shed light on why some people can't seem to recover.

Less than 50%

The implications are enormous. An estimated 10 to 30 percent of the 28 million Covid-19 cases in the United States could lead to long-term symptoms. That's as many as 8.4 million people unable to shake ongoing physical problems related to the virus.

SoCal nurse who got COVID-19 after vaccination urges others to still get the vaccine


Less than 50%

By early January, she got her second dose. But six weeks later, she started feeling sick, tired and congested. A COVID-19 test revealed she got the virus.
...

While Blais is still dealing with a loss of smell and taste and headaches, she's grateful she got vaccinated when she did.

Isolation, Sequence, Infectivity, and Replication Kinetics of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

Less than 50%

We isolated SARS-CoV-2 from 2 patients with COVID-19 and determined the genomic sequence of each isolate (SARS-CoV-2/SB2 and SARS-CoV-2/SB3-TYAGNC). In addition, we studied the replication kinetics of SARS-CoV-2/SB3-TYAGNC in human fibroblast, epithelial, and immune cells.

Well..... that won’t help the next wave...

I'm not really surprised, guys. My son has told us and sent me pictures over the year. Out in west Texas, they weren't wearing masks much and things really didn't stay closed for too long. I wish I could show you the pics.

I think it has a lot to do with the density thing. West Texas is sparsely populated. Dallas more so, but even Dallas is sparse compared to NYC or LA.

More people packed into a small space = higher viral load risk.

Hey LJS! Yeah, that's kind of what we decided last year.

I wish I could find a place like the South Plains....BUT without the dust!

True.... but that is my big concern.... folks got infected in rural sparse Iowa and didn’t notice..... so that just more fodder for my longterm burn theories.

I. Don’t. Like. This. Path.

Ik, but there is nothing we can do about it. People don't see it as a threat anymore. The shot has made it all go away. Just ask them.

Texas HAS to get back to work after that huge beating of a winter storm event. There is no other way out.

But if they go this route.... how long does back to work actually last before the sickouts happen?

Idk, CC. I wish I did. Uncharted territory.

I think one of your superfans really loves you CC, haha ! I swear it seems like your thread has gained 20 ratings today alone and now it's down to two stars overall. One of them must have been number hopping.

You must be doing something right if they are irked that much. Keep up the good work. :)

How are things in LJS land?

I love it! Get me to Juan Estrella!

Memphis is like that. We have had infections, for sure, but it is relatively easy to avoid people if you try.

Virus variant races through Italy, especially among children

ROME (AP) — The variant of the coronavirus discovered in Britain is prevalent among Italy’s infected schoolchildren and is helping to fuel a “robust” uptick in the curve of COVID-19 contagion in the country, the health minister said Tuesday.

Jesues CC what i missed.

Thought you got covid or something
