This new strain ****... man

Goddamn

The **** is ripping through where I’m at like never before too.

Are y’all following the local hospitalization and death rates locally where you’re at?

It's a little hard to keep track of, but it seems like my state is doing reasonably okay despite having a bunch of Republican psychopaths in our state assembly who are trying to kill everyone.

We're at our worst for hospital admissions since this began, despite - supposedly - being in lockdown. This was meant to last till mid February but now I doubt it'll be lifted till much later in the year. Paddy's Day Parade cancelled for the second year, no surprise. I still **** myself whenever I have to go outside the house. #SealYourselfIn

Well, I'm glad Biden has signed that order requiring masks in airports and federal property and a negative Covid-19 test when arriving stateside from other countries. Loooong overdue. The N95 and KN95 masks (best of the bunch) are not cheap but you can find deals. They're infinitely better than the jive face covers on the street and those butt ugly blue 3 ply 99cent jobs (like the one in this bloke's vid) -


OccultHawk 01-22-2021 11:58 AM

I just went to grocery store / pharmacy

Only one jack ass without a mask

That’s all it takes but still

I don’t know why people think the way they do but I honestly believe it’s because Trump lost

Why that would matter is beyond me but hey

More shots have gone into people’s arms per capita across West Virginia than in any other state, with at least 7.4% of the population receiving the first of two shots, according to state data.

West Virginia was the first in the nation to finish offering first doses to all long-term care centers before the end of December, and the state expects to give second doses at those facilities by the end of January.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said he has tested positive for COVID-19, an announcement that comes as his country registers the highest levels of infections and deaths to date.

López Obrador, who has been criticized for his handling of Mexico’s pandemic and for not setting an example of prevention in public, said Sunday on his official Twitter account that his symptoms are mild and he is under medical treatment.

“I regret to inform you that I am infected with COVID-19,” he tweeted. “The symptoms are mild but I am already under medical treatment. As always, I am optimistic. We will all move forward.”

José Luis Alomía Zegarra, Mexico’s director of epidemiology, said the 67-year-old López Obrador had a “light” case of COVID-19 and was “isolating at home.”
Reading about him on wiki.

Quote:

López Obrador gained national exposure as an advocate for the rights of indigenous people when in 1996 he appeared on national TV drenched in blood following confrontations with the police for blocking Pemex oil wells to defend the rights of local indigenous people impacted by pollution.[34]

Trollheart 01-25-2021 05:19 AM

From the RTE (Irish TV) news website:

Mr Martin has expressed concern following suggestions that the variant may be linked to higher death rates.

The discussion comes as the UK announced that those who contract the more highly transmissible strain have a 30 to 40% greater chance of dying from the disease will strengthen calls for adherence to the public health measures.

The variant already accounts for 62% of Covid-19 cases in Ireland and is becoming even more dominant.

Can skin tone cause vitamin D deficiency?

ANSWER
Melanin, which causes skin pigmentation, lowers the skin's ability to make vitamin D in response to sunlight exposure. Some studies show that older adults with darker skin are at high risk of vitamin D deficiency.

That’s actually a great question.
I’ve read that dogs can catch and transmit it.
Dogs don’t get very sick from it but it’s the same virus they can shoot back at people.
