OO1 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Countries worldwide hit new records for virus cases, deaths Ambulances filled with breathless patients lined up in Brazil as nations around the world set new records Thursday for COVID-19 deaths and new coronavirus infections. The disease surged even in some countries that have kept the virus in check. In the United States, Detroit leaders began making a plan to knock on every door to persuade people to get vaccine shots. Brazil this week became just the second country, after the U.S., to report a 24-hour tally of COVID-19 deaths that exceeded 4,000. India hit a peak of almost 127,000 new cases in 24 hours, and Iran set a new coronavirus infection record for the third straight day, reporting nearly 22,600 new cases. https://apnews.com/article/countries-worldwide-hit-new-records-coronavirus-cases-deaths-29b18a267fbe972766403f8de0fee415 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 India Struggles to Keep Pace With Coronavirus Variants Covid-19 surge puts pressure on labs that do genomic sequencing needed to track mutations India’s laboratories are struggling to keep up with a punishing Covid-19 surge, as its scientists try to track and understand new coronavirus mutations. On Monday, the World Health Organization classified a variant first identified in India, known as B.1.617, as a “variant of concern,” saying preliminary studies suggested it may be more contagious than other variants. The WHO’s scientists didn’t report any evidence that vaccines aren’t effective against the new variant. https://www.wsj.com/articles/india-struggles-to-keep-pace-with-coronavirus-variants-11620748328 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube fanatic Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Many prominent scientists have long warned that the PCR cycle times of up to 45 used to diagnose “cases” are way too high and lead to a huge number of false positives. That number of cycle times will pick up viral fragments which pose no health risks to the individual or others. Well, in a blatant display of hypocrisy (in my opinion of course), the CDC is now using a cycle time of only 28 MAXIMUM when testing for breakthrough cases! Am I the only one to suspect an agenda here? https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/downloads/Information-for-laboratories-COVID-vaccine-breakthrough-case-investigation.pdf Maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tube fanatic Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Another interesting change which only applies to breakthrough cases: “In the coming weeks, CDC will transition from monitoring all reported vaccine breakthrough cases to focus on identifying and investigating only vaccine breakthrough infections that result in hospitalization or death. This shift will help maximize the quality of the data collected on cases of greatest clinical and public health importance.” https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html Another agenda at work here?

OO1 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Blood Expert Says He Found Why Some Covid-19 Vaccines Trigger Rare Clots A scientist in Germany thinks he has found an answer as researchers around world examine AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson shots In Germany, one researcher thinks he has found what is triggering the clots. Andreas Greinacher, a blood expert, and his team at the University of Greifswald believe so-called viral vector vaccines—which use modified harmless cold viruses, known as adenoviruses, to convey genetic material into vaccine recipients to fight the coronavirus—could cause an autoimmune response that leads to blood clots. According to Prof. Greinacher, that reaction could be tied to stray proteins and a preservative he has found in the AstraZeneca vaccine. https://www.wsj.com/articles/inside-the-hunt-for-a-link-between-some-covid-19-vaccines-and-rare-blood-clots-11620898201 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to second guess them on this point and expressed my opinion on why they waited--Imo, they were waiting for everyone to have a chance to get the vaccine before dropping the mask requirement...Now, those who aren't vaccinated are the ones who are at risk and business owners don't need to feel responsible for their customers protection now that the vaccines are readily available.. That's my take.{Edit: Evidently since they aren't mandating a vaccine passport those that don't want the vaccine don't need to lie and cheat to obtain one.} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks were touted as a means to keep you from spreading the virus, not primarily as a method to keep from contracting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
