Coronavirus

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I think the weed I smoke is so strong COVID stayed away from me worrying about getting a contact high then being crowned with a halo of demons. To heck with China and their stupid flu.

^^ I think there are more than a few stories like this. Some did it for anti-vaxxers, while others gave fake shots to those who really wanted/needed the vaccine.

‘How Dare I’: Jon Stewart Reflects on Lab-Leak Theory Blowback​

https://www.yahoo.com/news/dare-jon-stewart-reflects-lab-202138738.html

A day after the U.S. Department of Energy’s report asserting that Covid-19 likely leaked out of a Chinese research lab in Wuhan, Jon Stewart condemned critics who had dismissed the comedian as a racist and conspiracy theorist after he endorsed the theory more than a year earlier.

So is it most racist/inappropriate to state that COVID-19 came from:
A Chinese research lab studying viruses, or
A Chinese wet market selling animals you normally wouldn't think of eating?

Because I'd argue the latter is worse

Do you have a tl;dr for this?

 

[Luxman]

It's not a long read, this is the "conclusion" in part of the last paragraph:

Other vaccines, like those against tetanus, influenza, hepatitis B, and rubella, have also been shown to have the potential to cause rheumatoid arthritis. As a result, while vaccines can prevent the emergence of autoimmune disorders caused by infections, autoimmunity can also occur after vaccination. Nevertheless, we believe that vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 are potential RA triggers, Large-scale epidemiological studies in a flare or new onset RA patients are needed to confirm this link. One study demonstrates that the compound betamethasone therapy was effective against reactive arthritis after COVID-19 vaccination.

UK former PM Boris Johnson's political future in the balance over COVID-19 lockdown rules​

 

[Harpsman]

I'm sure he's not too bothered about his political future. Since he left Office he has pocketed over £10m - mostly from his dinner speaking activities.

Mad.

Hey Lux, how many times have you got Coronavirus? I’m either up to 5 or 6 or maybe none. Not sure because I haven’t got tested.

 

[Luxman]

I may have gotten covid in March/April 2020. I had a bit of a sore throat and runny nose for about a week, but I was never tested.
From what I've read, of the people who got covid, about 40% have no symptoms at all, about 40% have mild to severe cold or flu like symptoms, about 20% need to go to the hospital, and about 1% die. Flu deaths are about 0.1% of infected, so hopefully the vaccine will eventually lower covid deaths to less than the flu.

That's pretty much how I calculated a range of either getting the Coronavirus a bunch of times or none. You gotta admit that was a pretty conservative estimate leaving very minimal daylight for error. Dust off your medical thesaurus and you can see that I am right.

I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with what I wrote. What point are you trying to make?

You have no choice other than to agree. Accuracy is always the best defense especially when you are covered 360 degrees.
