Corona Virus spreading ... US official says no need to worry

I still take my vitamin D daily.

I know this is not a popular topic on here but gotta say it anyway just in case someone else might want to order some. I just received my covid tests from the gov yesterday. It took 16 days, but whatever now I have them just in case I need them.

I also received our free covid tests too, we got ours in the mail last week. Honestly not sure how long it took to get them, I didn't think to check. I believe you can re-order them every month and get 4 per month.
 
One of our kids is a long hauler. Tyler who got it first, still doesn't have his taste and smell after more than 6 month. About 10 days ago he developed Covid symptoms, got tested and was negative. The symptoms were mild and cleared in about 7 days
 
New info to me...looks like there is or will be a spit test for covid. Some news that I've read says that it's more accurate than the nasal swab. That may not be true. I sure don't know.

Grandson was tested again and for the third time tested positive. Also the school mandated masking.

This despite his "shot" and so-called natural immunity.

What it means is the cold Cathy and I suffered two weeks ago was probably the omicron strain.

We both had common cold symptoms and, in addition, bloody noses.

That's exactly why I think testing is so important. You need to know if you're infectious.

Here's a little scenario in my family. My sister had a Christmas gathering of about 15-16 people. None of them felt sick or had symptoms. Three adults and two kids started showing symptoms shortly after. Turned out that both kids tested positive. Two of the adults did too. One adult was diagnosed with a respiratory infection.
 
I have had a salty taste in my mouth since Monday, some phlegm and this morning I had no voice. I feel fine, took a rapid test and it is negative. I will wait a few days and test again. Its warming up here nearly 80 daytime. things are blooming, so it could be allergies or a regular cold??

There are 100 things it could be. That is the problem.

But the reality is that Omicron/Covid and the new 'stealth' variant of Omicron, are far more mild.

Honestly I stopped posting most medical stories here simply because it seems like there is no longer much need.

By now we know a few things.

People with multiple comorbidities, especially those of advanced age, need to be very careful. Healthy people are at very little risk. People with modest health issues may get sick but if they have been vaccinated they will likely just be uncomfortable and ill for a week to 10 days.

We also know that vitamin D is effective at preventing serious illness, especially if supplemented with modest levels of K and Zinc. Budesidone (sp?) is effective treatment for respiratory therapy if covid gets into your lungs. Ivermectin is very likely effective and more studies seem to indicate that the evidence to support that is sound.

Like so many actually honest experts on the matter on either medical practice, or political practice, have declared for the last two years,,,; the decisions about treatments and alternate prevention therapies', should have been left to the descression of doctors and their patients.

The government's announcement that it was "here to help and you had better do what we order," should have brought questions from the entire media. Protecting the people from an overbearing/overreaching government is why we have a free press.

That's their job!!!!

Instead, they either hid from view, maligned alternate and competing information, or outright lied, to be in alignment with the policies of one political party.

Bye bye Rona.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — For the fourth straight week in a row, Ohio health officials began Thursday's COVID-19 briefing with good news: Cases continue to decline across the state.
In some parts of the the state, that decline has even accelerated, Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said.
In January, Cuyahoga County health officials reported a rate of 3,000 cases per 100,000 residents. One month later and that case rate has now dropped to 189 cases per 100,000.

Since reaching a pandemic high in mid-January, statewide COVID-19 hospitalizations have steadily decreased; down by more than half as of Wednesday, said Vanderhoff.
In the last week alone, health officials reported an overall 18% decline in hospitalizations.
"A further sign that the omicron variant is, in fact, receding about as quickly as it arose," said Vanderhoff.

Let's take a look back, when where I'm employed was a great concern.
September 2020.
Fast forward to today.

Henry County reports increased COVID-19 cases at long-term care facility

Northcrest Rehab and Nursing Center in Napoleon has 40 staff members and 60 residents who as of Wednesday afternoon all tested positive for COVID-19. Eight people tied to this facility died due to the virus and this is all according to the Henry County Health Department.

Brian that is widely reported on very unreliable websites that actually quote each other as their sources.

For what it is worth, in early 2020 that stock was trading in the $22 to $24 per share range. He sold for just under $168 per share to get just over $3 Million. That is a far cry from the $400 Million claim and it also makes sense that he'd sell for roughly a $145 per share profit before then end of Covid given that it looks like Covid is pretty much done with the world as a pandemic. The stock will likely fall over time.

Go to the financial papers and you will find this, because when insiders sell, they have to disclose the sales!

2 bits of Covid news.

Queen Elizabeth has a mild case of Covid.

And now another study on Ivermectin. This one saying it does not work.

This one used infected people, over the age of 50, with comorbidities. So it seems to apply to people like me. That makes it interesting to me personally. I've always wanted more studies on Ivermectin, I lean toward it possibly being effective, but remain somewhat skeptical. As I'm coaching at the Junior Olympics and still have 4 more events to go here I don't have time to dig into the actual study. I saw the article, here is part of it.

New study finds Ivermectin ineffective in treating COVID-19

Patients administered Ivermectin had a "notably higher" incidence of adverse events.
www.jpost.com www.jpost.com

Ivermectin is ineffective in preventing severe illness in COVID-19 patients, according to a new peer-reviewed study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) on Friday.​
​
The open-label study examined 490 high-risk patients with COVID-19 at 20 public hospitals and a quarantine center in Malaysia. The patients were 50 years and older with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections, comorbidities and mild-to-moderate disease. The patients were split into a control group that received standard of care without Ivermectin and a group that received standard of care plus Ivermectin.​
​
Researchers gave trial participants in the Ivermectin group a five-day course of the drug, consisting of 0.4mg/kg body weight each day.​
 
Her Majesty is said to have a very stoic response to her diagnosis planned.

Poor thing, I mean I know she's 95 years old, but in recent months new photos of her are shocking.
Very thin and looks even tinier.

You mean something like "testing" before giving it, much less forcing it, on humans.

That's just crazy talk from a right winger Trumpster terrorist..
 
And here's some interesting covid related news.

www.thestar.com

'Potential risks': Health Canada issues advisory warning about COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test kits after dozens of calls to poison control centres

'Accidental exposure' reported in some 50 cases
www.thestar.com www.thestar.com

Even the tests aren't safe now. 😕

For what it's worth, we had our run in with the big bad covid bug last week. Our youngest daughter started out with pink eye on Sunday. On Monday, she woke up with a sore throat, cough, and runny nose. I had the same thing. We tested everyone in the house (all 8 of us) and she was the only one positive. So we set her up in the front family room and that's where she stayed for 5 days. She finally tested negative last Friday. We had everyone else stay home all last week as well. All is well though I still have a sore throat despite testing negative three times last week.

As for restrictions, most have now been lifted in Ontario though we still need masks. But our premier Doug Ford stated that we're close to removing the masks as well. Possibly after March break in two weeks.
