I agree with much of what you wrote but disagree with some points. I think they are closer to finding treatments and in fact there are some treatments used in some areas of the world that seem to be pretty good, while other areas of the world don't use those same treatments. Vitamin D seems to have a dramatic ability to alter the course of this disease's affect on the human body but it seems to be totally overlooked by some nations while other nations seem to be pushing the use of this cheap and available vitamin.After all the reading, debating and listening, bottom line with the exception of knowing a little more about the virus. even with a half dozen vaccines around the world with Trillions of dollars spent and lives ruined, no one is any closer to defeating the virus than we were a year ago when it started. People are getting COVID that got the vaccine and historically vaccines are about 70% effective year over year because of mutation. How long has there been Flu vaccines?? Do we still get the yearly Flu and people die every year from the yearly Flu?? I would recommend anyone that lives in a urban area to rethink that.
1- a lot more people spreading it around
2- a lot more restrictions
3- and maybe its time for people to be loyal and take care of Mom and Dad yourself when they get old like we used to. Is it a inconvenience? Yes it is but they already wiped your ass when you came in so maybe you should return the favor when they go out.
4- Take some personal responsibility and stay home if you have issues with your health and you are scared about it. So folks that are not can have some type of normalcy in there life.
5- Accept the fact that we didn't ask for it or can change it and likely will be the leading cause of death in folks with medical issues from now on. 6- Get on with life the best you can.

I agree with investing in therapeutics that can ease the symptoms, there are already some but we could use more, the point of my post was that its not going away and we are going to learn how to live with it, and where you live can effect how you do that.I agree with much of what you wrote but disagree with some points.

I totally agree that the urban dwellers may want to rethink priorities and lifestyles, but I doubt many of them will do so. Certainly some have have fled cities like New York, Chicago and San Fran. But those cities were already losing populations, it was just that Covid gave the incentive to leave to those who were already predisposed to flee for other reasons.
And yes, we do have to figure out how to get on with our lives as best as we can.

Rather than posting some new innovation (I haven't seen any) or additional news about the vaccine rollout (not going fast enough) I thought this was a good story. And it is finally making news in some mainstream media too. NY Governor Cuomo was heralded as a model of hot a good leader should lead during much of this pandemic, he was typically compared to the horrible Republican governors of several states (Florida, Texas, etc). All the while we were posting about the nursing home deaths that were ignored by mainstream media. Glad to see that people are finally being held accountable for the government created genocide that occurred in the NY nursing homes.

New York ordered to turn over nursing home COVID-19 death statistics
| February 03, 2021 04:10 PMA New York Supreme Court justice is ordering the state to turn over its data on coronavirus-caused deaths in nursing homes. Justice Kimberly A. O'Connor released her decision on Wednesday, concluding that the state violated the law by not providing a reasonable date for when it could turn over the information to Empire Center for Public Policy, the group that requested it. New York will now have to turn over the data within five business days.The conservative think tank filed a request for the information in August, but when the state delayed the request, they filed a lawsuit in September."DOH has had ample time to respond to Empire Center's FOIL request," O'Connor said. "Its continued failure to provide petitioner a response, given the straightforward nature of the request, how the data is collected and maintained, and the fact that some of the requested data has already been made publicly available without personally identifying information, goes against FOIL's broad standard of open and transparent government and is a violation of the statute.""With the preliminary audit complete, we were already in the process of responding to their FOIL request and updating DOH’s website with publicly available information," said Gary Holmes, a health department spokesman.Last week, New York State Attorney General Letitia James released a report saying that nursing home coronavirus deaths had been undercounted by Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration by as much as 50%. On Mar. 25, the New York Health Department released a directive ordering nursing homes to accept and readmit patients that had tested positive for COVID-19, a move for which Cuomo received intense criticism. In July, the Health Department released a report asserting that most of the patients sent back "were no longer contagious when admitted and therefore were not a source of infection."On Monday, the New York Times reported at least nine senior New York state health officials have resigned from their positions, including the medical director in the division of epidemiology. Cuomo himself, who in the early stages of the pandemic was hailed as a dynamic leader, has been under increasing pressure this year for his policies and decision making as the vaccine rolls out in the Empire State.

Yup.6- Get on with life the best you can.

Not therapeutics!I agree with investing in therapeutics that can ease the symptoms, there are already some but we could use more, the point of my post was that its not going away and we are going to learn how to live with it, and where you live can effect how you do that.
I agree with that also,Vitamin D deficiency can cause all kinds of problems. An industrial store I shop at, the sales man there suddenly became wheelchair bound with the diagnosis of MS. 3 months later is walking around. He told me in the end it was a vitamin D deficiency. So yes anything that can be done to treat it both before and after getting it. Because its never going away completely.Not therapeutics!
Actual treatments. Actual preventatives.
Vitamin D3 may prevent Covid. Vitamin D is known to reduce the severity (not just symptoms but actual disease and most Americans and Europeans are V D deficient.
ivermectin may be a cure.
Hydroxycloriqin, if used EARLY, may be a cure or may reduce the severity or is at least an effective treatment and may be a preventative in low doses. If used late and in high doses actually makes things worse.
I can't guarantee the accuracy of this picture but I came across this on Facebook. The post claimed that this was the result of getting the vaccination.
That looks like ecchymosis from soft tissue trauma.I can't guarantee the accuracy of this picture but I came across this on Facebook. The post claimed that this was the result of getting the vaccination. View attachment 134579
I was going to say that tooThat looks like ecchymosis from soft tissue trauma.
It's because Biden is the president and they aren't falsifying the numbers to make Trump look bad. They are now falsifying the numbers to make Biden look good. Just like how the news in Portland is no longer covering Antifa but is now starting to ramp up stories on a new "gun crime epidemic".We have 2 new highly contagious variants but we also have declines in cases and those cannot be explained by the vaccinations.
Deaths are a "trailing indicator" and if cases drop, then 10-20 days later the deaths will drop. If cases increase, then deaths will increase roughly 2 weeks after the cases increase.While the cases have trended down, the number of fatalities has remained high. Dallas County Health and Human Services reported 228 deaths last week -- the deadliest week of the pandemic."
Iranian cleric claims COVID-19 vaccine turns people into ‘homosexuals’
The ayatollah cautioned his citizens to avoid any who received the vaccine
Seems like there is some scary news out there with the possibility of these new variants that spread faster BUT IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD NEWS out there coming from the states.Ohio has reached caseload benchmark to lift COVID-19 curfew; next move up to DeWine and state health department
The curfew is to expire at noon today. We should find out more during Gov. Mike DeWine's news conference expected today.www.wtol.com
