Rachel Maddow is in self quarantine after close contact with someone who tested positive for covid19. So far she is negative.
Pfizer's vaccine is reportedly 90% effective and they are waiting for 2 months into trials to apply for FDA emergency authorization. No serious adverse effects either. Sounds like they are doing it the right way. They distanced themselves from Trump's warp speed and only took R&D money from German govt, not US. Should start rollout in a couple weeks. This is very promising
Ben Carson has Covid. He joins Mark Meadows as WH covid positive people who attended the election night party at the WH.
The SUPERSPREADER IN CHEIF is at it again.
Let's just pray the new mink coronavirus mutation cluster detected in Danemark is still covered by these first generation vaccines.
Thanks fur-lovers !
By then Biden will be President and all States will get it. Trump would have tried to punish all the states that went to Biden
Dave Bossie, President Trump’s outside adviser who was recently tapped to lead the campaigns legal challenges, has tested positive for COVID-19
It continues!!!!
I think I posted this previously in the wrong place so putting it here:
From my reading about Covid it appears that many viruses, bacteria and parasites that have caused major diseases in the past have been zoonotic, meaning they had their origin in animals. Covid may be more about our relationship with animals and our environment. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/03/18/coronavirus-fact-check-covid-19-caused-eating-animals/5073094002/.
A good depiction of the animal connection can be seen in the Movie "Contagion" released in 2011, but so relevant to our times.
ASU Football is in trouble. ASU Head Coach Herm Edwards, multiple student-players and other coaching staff members tested positive for coronavirus. They have now canceled their upcoming game against CAL this week. Edwards said he and his family are feeling fine.
Anyone want to tell me why we are still having college football games?
This just reported: over 130 Secret service agents are infected with the virus because of Trumpass and his selfish cruelty!
Washington state is shutting down again because of rising Covid numbers. Governors Jay Inslee issued the sweeping orders today. “Today, Sunday, November 15, 2020, is the most dangerous public health day in the last 100 years of our state’s history,” Inslee said in prepared remarks. “A pandemic is raging in our state. Left unchecked, it will assuredly result in grossly overburdened hospitals and morgues; and keep people from obtaining routine but necessary medical treatment for non-COVID conditions.”
I had hoped it wouldn’t come to this, but here we are.
Wow! That is a strong statement by Inslee. I think this is a wise move. Unfortunately we have come to this...again. I hope my state will consider taking similar action, though it is doubtful here.
The new restrictions make me so sad, even knowing it’s for the best. Yesterday, I was running errands and came across some people without masks (mandatory mask order in WA state) protesting the Biden election, waving flags and shouting about freedom. They held signs saying, “rip off your masks!” All the while, the pandemic rages on.
Michigan going down too starting Wednesday. Press conference tonight. It appears that they're going to close HS's but not ELE and Middle Schools - and as ancillary staff I feel like I fall under the "work that can be done from home MUST be done from home rule" and that my Superintendent will disagree.
Also, I feel like it's a toothless lockdown (which again I get -- the legislature stripped Whitmer of her powers and the health department can only do so much) - Salons - open. Bars and restaurants - open (for carry out), Gyms - Open. HS's - closed. Theatres: Closed. Colleges - Closed.
Honestly I feel like this is overdue, but I'd like to point out again for the record -- we didn't have to get to this point.
Our Governor DeathSantis in Florida has no Covid Plan and has just employed an Uber driver conspiracy theory blogger to be in charge of Covid 19 Data analysis. I live here and am afraid I am not being told the truth so I can protect myself and my family. https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/11/10/meet-the-uber-driving-conspiracy-theorist-blogger-who-desantis-just-hired/
Please pray for the focus to shift to forgiveness, truth, generosity, kindness and taking care of one another. I feel if it was, my governor would care more about taking care of the health of the citizens than his re-election and politicizing mask wearing.
