I was thinking we might already be in the second wave, but that was when I thought it started on the west coast. Now that it seems to have started in NYC, it makes more sense that they are in the second wave.

That isn't how I understand a second wave, which would be another round of previously non-infected people becoming infected because there were still not enough recovered people for herd immunity: about 70%. Keeping well people quarantined so they don't get sick can only work if they are quarantined until vaccinated. We shall soon see. If you could get it over and over, eventually there wouldn't be "waves," there would be a steady state of people in all stages of infection.

I just got a note from mine, saying she is a "certified sanitary officer," whatever that is, and they are ready. She already wears gloves and a face shield and puts protective glasses on the patient to protect them from flying water jets and spit. Seems enough to me.

And in spite of all the millions of words about this coup and Flynn, today people are asking who these people are in the transcripts and why is Flynn important. It's like telling people to wash hands and then when the pandemic strikes they want to know how to avoid illness. The info means nothing until it gets personal. So now it has to be explained all over.

They are spinning it as "despite admitting that he lied to the FBI, Flynn was inexplicably let off by that political hack Barr." What else.

If you weren't into Trump maybe you were into Dems, who are the ones about to get toasted. Try Obama, Biden, the 2 AGs, heads and seconds of all of the so-called intelligence agencies, the Senate SSCI, Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi in the House, the Dems crooked law firm Perkins Coie, the Fake Media. All were in on or enabling a plot to first thwart the election, if that failed cast Trump as illegitimate or a traitor, if that failed impeach him, if that failed make him a failure somehow, etc. Why, you ask? Why not just wait for another election? Because all these people are the real crooks and traitors, and they knew that Trump would expose them.

That's because of so few children dying from COVID, where sadly still quite a few very young people die normally from many causes (abortion isn't counted). To get the best picture you'd have to find out how many children were in the normal life expectancy group, take out that weight, and then compare.

Cloth masks don't protect much in either direction--to a microbe they would have giant holes. They are helpful against large dust and bugs, though. However, to answer your question, it looks to me like they are mostly being used as talismans of hope with very little understanding.

You should also know by now that "Public Health" is also all about money. It's about "analyzing populations" to determine (for them) their "needs" and getting grant money for programs. Getting grants is political activity, these old wonks like Birx and Fauci are just like Senators letting K Street write legislation.

I have lived in either Oregon or Arizona or Colorado for more than 60 years, from before the Interstate and highrises, and the older I get the more I pray it stays the way it is. You appreciate the contrast of the common public ownership vs. tiny individual fiefdoms as you watch cities eat up nature and realize that it is a one-way street, that once little patches are carved out here and there it will never sound or smell or feel the same.

It is entirely possible that there can be several peaks and valleys in a pandemic, the dreaded "waves," so yes. This is a function of exposure. Many people feel that quarantining everyone leads to a greater chance, in fact, because in theory the well people in quarantine will remain susceptible, it will take only one contagious person to start it all off again in a crowd of susceptibles when they finally get out and mingle again.

Finally. Someone mentions ACE blockers, a common blood pressure medicine, and beta blockers, another drug of the old, both associated with poor clinical outcome.

Mine too, also a moratorium on cancellations due to non-payment. And probably still all making money, judging from the reduction in crazy driving I've seen, I used to see at least one accident and a couple of near-misses every time I went 10 miles or more around town.

Welcome to the beginning of enlightenment and freedom. You have been bamboozled all your life. For starters, "Democrats are about the workers." They were always about unions. Unions are collectivism. They are for the workers the same way all communists ever were, i.e., slaves to their leadership. They sold you on all their programs with fear and social shaming, what we now call PC attitudes and virtue signalling, just as all communists from 1918 on have controlled the masses. So you are concerned about polluters. Who are the polluters now? Not the US, the collective societies. You are concerned about climate. Humans have been since the last ice age, yet we live. Who fed you all these concerns to instill fear, who raised the hue and cry against anyone who dared to not be afraid or have a different opinion, or even a different degree of the same opinion? The same people you now recognize as deranged for their excesses. They were always that way. It's just obvious now as they thrash against a real awakening.

Like all bureaucracies, the original mission becomes overwhelmed by institutional survival. Kind of like a 700 lb person whose life devolves into eating.

India doesn't have that massive home support that the other countries do. When you see what scanty resources the Afghanis really have to work with, you appreciate what it means to a team.
