Man, I want a time machine. They gave him supplemental oxygen, steroids, remesvidir, zinc, and an experimental medication.

Let's try it again with nothing.

I saw we give him and Biden C-19 and no meds. Whoever survives gets to be president.

Eli Lilly + Johnson & Johnson have both paused their clinical trials due to safety concerns. Pauses are somewhat normal, as I understand it. And already happened to a separate study.

Testing is good! Failure needed to show success.

If you haven’t been taking vit D for years already you haven’t been paying attention.

Utah hospital overwhelmed

No surprise, given how lax they've been about it, per numerous relatives my wife has in Utah.

And the virus is spreading like crazy in Europe again where “they handled it well”.

Well, not really, but you should get a flu shot anyway.

Saw these numbers this morning. How does this compare to the flu?
By age:
0-19 years: 3 deaths per 100,000 infections
20-49 years: 2 deaths per 10,000 infections
50-69 years: 5 deaths per 1,000 infections
70+ years: 5.4 deaths per 100 infections
I still wish people would stop focusing on just the death aspect of covid. Lung and heart scarring shouldn't be so easily dismissed.

Those #s are just weird, since they keep shifting the per units, rather than keeping them static.
For 65+, flu mortality is estimated at 25.3 / 100,000 (versus 5,400 / 100,000 in the covid stat above)

Flu
0-4 - 1.3 (vs 3 per 100,000 in the 0-19 covid above)
5-17 - 0.3 (vs 3 per 100,000 in the 0-19 covid above)
18-49 - 1.9 (vs 20 per 100,000 in the 20-49 covid above)
50-64 - 8.2 (vs 500 per 100,000 in the 50-69 covid above)

(all per 100,000)

I don't think either set of numbers justifies avoiding people to the extent that Cakedaddy desires.

Just wear your fucking masks people! This is not difficult.

I don't think everyone should be sheltered at home. But hell if I'm going inside a building if I can avoid it at all. Friend gatherings are all outside, etc.

Same.

I have to go into work, but no meetings are face to face and my door is typically shut.
