Virus way down in FL. Only 6% of hospital admissions now vs 60% at the peak

UV rays can be harmful to humans so the key is to be around 220 nanometers to kill the viruses but not harm people. That would be a great business to be in. Looks like LED versions will be available eventually. Cost will come down but they are $$$$ now. https://www.geekwire.com/2020/inside-seattles-space-needle-1m-spent-cleaning-tech-ensure-safe-reopening/ "The Space Needle has added an array of ultraviolet light technology intended to rid the air and surfaces of harmful viruses. Guests will pass through Far-UV-C “sanitizing” body scanners at the front gates that look like airport metal detectors. Inside, they’ll breathe air that’s been zapped by even stronger UV-C light inside the building’s mechanical systems."

From what I understand, the CDC just started reported the breakdown that way. Yes, we already knew that, just not the exact percentage. In other COVID news- check out this article- https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-67211-2.pdf "low-dose-rate far-UVC exposure can potentially safely provide a major reduction in the ambient level of airborne coronaviruses in occupied public locations." UVC light can kill the COVID virus and many other strains. NYC already uses to sanitize their subway trains at night. Watch for bars and restaurants to start installing them.

I went with the Springfield Saint AR15 and have been very happy with it.

I put up a wall mural. Took 2 people and a lot of time and patience. I don't see why you couldn't poly over it. Manufacturer have any recommendations?

According to the CDC, only 6%, or about 9000, deaths were from people with no other health issues. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm

The one on the right is nice.

Should have stayed in S Bend

Anyone seen any reports on Cameron? If there was a 20ft surge, it looks like they could have been wiped out

It is a Category 4 now. 140 mph winds could strengthen to 150 mph. Going to be a long night the people that stayed behind.

Blood pressure meds may help? https://www.marketwatch.com/story/a-common-medication-for-older-adults-improves-covid-19-survival-rates-researchers-say-2020-08-24?mod=mw_more_headlines

Cases continue to drop- lowest in 2 months- https://www.wsj.com/articles/coronavirus-latest-news-08-24-2020-11598258429?mod=hp_lead_pos3 As we discussed earlier- https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/3098505/coronavirus-china-has-been-using-covid-19-vaccine-candidate-key https://www.marketwatch.com/story/pfizer-and-biontech-say-regulatory-review-for-covid-19-vaccine-could-be-as-early-as-october-11597993880

You don't have a garden. You have a microfarm.

I have seen houses that look like that in Kentucky. Must be a mock up for a new model. Let us know what it looks like when they exterior done.

No more sniffing the urinals!

First I have ever heard of the 11 strains and that the Wuhan strain is not as contagious. China has not provided anyone with the complete genome they have making an effective vaccine more difficult. China has a major head start here. https://www.sabinopaciolla.com/cina-covid-19-la-chimera-che-ha-cambiato-il-mondo/ Will we ever have such a vaccine? “It is extremely unlikely to find a single vaccine that blocks the virus, given the many mutations of SARS-CoV-2. At the moment, 11 different strains have been identified: the A2a genetic line which developed in Europe and the B1 genetic line which took root in North America are more contagious than the 0 strain originating in Wuhan. I therefore believe that, at the most, a multivalent vaccine could be found, valid for 4-5 strains and able to cover 70-75% of the world population ».

I'd agree. They have also been stealing info on our vaccines so they have a big head start.

Good news here- https://www.businessinsider.com/long-term-coronavirus-immunity-t-cells-2020-8 In addition, there has been a rapid decline in hospitalizations-

She should get retested with a different type of test. let us know if it was a false positive.

Studies show countries with older populations, more obese people, poorer people, and fewer nurses did not fare as well. None of that seems surprising. Smokers seem to be less effected. Lockdowns only effective in keeping hospitals from being overwhelmed. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8553929/Lockdowns-DONT-work-study-claims.html

Couple states have now reversed their bans on HCQ. Why was it banned in the first place? Individual states don't do this for other drugs as far as I know. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/08/17/mn_governor_quietly_reverses_course_on_hydroxychloroquine__143978.html "The politics of hydroxychloroquine are unlikely to cool before November’s presidential election. Yet, if Walz’s decision is any indication, at least some leaders are starting to recognize the ethical dilemma of using the long arm of government to stand between suffering patients and a drug that may have the potential to save them."

Did you read the article? Do you disagree with anything presented there? I don't think anybody is trying to insinuate anything. I try and present information. Some may be useful and some might prove wrong over time. The article mentions people in Sweden wearing masks and social distancing. While people may not be locked down, many schools, churches, and businesses are. Why not open the schools since young kids appear fairly resistant and it has not posed a problem in other countries? Let the young, healthy, active people spread it as they are not the prime age to burden the hospitals. Protect the elderly and those with health issues. To me that is common sense and the opposite of what was done in NY where they locked down the healthy and introduced the virus to the elderly. Personally, I also thinks sports can and should resume. They are playing now and, yes, there have been issues, but there are ways to minimize the risks- which appears small for that population.
