Some British bakers are bringing back a WW2 bread during the pandemic. It is more nutritious than white bread and can be made when there is a scarcity of ingredients.
The fast track rolling out of antibody tests and also the clamor to create vaccines should be a red flag to people. You will be their guinea pigs, since these lab tests are untested on humans. If a vaccine comes out earlier the usual time it takes for a vaccine, I would scrutinize the testing process and avoid letting anything into your body too soon.
As for the antibody tests, the tests themselves can't harm you. They just draw your blood and check to see if you have antibodies. But I would not rely on these untested, non FDA-approved tests until I've seen the clinical trials and am convinced those trials are thorough and valid.
So you get a result that you have COVID antibodies from an unapproved test that Donald Trump has said not to worry about, then what? You start putting yourself in harm's way?
The companies that develop these tests and the vaccines are profit-driven. All those news stories about fast tracked vaccines--someone posted one of those stories here from Jerusalem Post -- those stories are just hype from profit-making companies hoping to get funding from investors.
These bio companies' press releases are as reliable as Donald Trump's tweets.
This morning MSN released this story about how the Federal government, under "newly relaxed rules" (thanks to Twitler), is allowing companies to go ahead and distribute their untested antibody tests to hospitals who are eager to use them.
So they'll be using tests that only some profit-driven, investor-controlled company itself has tested?
From MSN: Though their accuracy remains in question, these antibody tests have become highly sought in the pathway out of the pandemic. Federal regulators have eased standards in an effort to speed production of the tests.
On Sunday, after my mom made masks, she started to have chest pains. Since then, her situation started to become better. This is likely a mild version of Coronavirus, where household remedies can help.
That's good, but keep an eye - many people even with milder cases relapse and it can then get more dangerous.
If chest pain was her only symptom, I would think something else like anxiety/panic attack is more likely than Covid-19
@frank I checked online that chest pain isn't listed as a common symptom of Coronavirus. She was working all day without stop making masks.
@jeanne-mayell this is so important- the testing (for vaccines etc) takes so long for a reason. There is no fast tracking this work. The trump government and the ensuing media coverage should be ignored completely- experts and professionals know this but too many Americans don’t. When a SAFE vaccine and reliable testing is available only then should we move forward.
