The Covid solution is still a work in progress.

We are in agreement.

Let's do the short list. Which ones came out and said the BLM riots were super spreaders?

Fraudci should be charged with lying to Congress, but since donks control Congress, he won’t..

Anyone check on FL COVID case and death rates lately? Weren't they all supposed to be dead by now?

[SeattleGriz]

Original Antigenic Sin. What a phrase.

Some were wondering if this was going to happen, and if it is right now.

About the only place the virus is thriving right now is Mother Russia.

I mentioned a week or so back, thay Florida was improving. Active cases have dropped almost by half. Down to around half a million now.

But yet Pfizer wants the EUA extended to 5-11 year olds, so the liability shield will protect them.

Noncompliance is the way forward.

Hey JSO, you still buying into the "horse paste" narrative?

[Gil Dobie]

My Uncles sister has Covid, give last rites today. She's in her 90's.

Also a co-worker is out of the office with Covid this week. He's around 30, so should be ok.

Wouldn't your uncle's sister be your aunt?

Hey JSO, you still buying into the "horse paste" narrative?

I've said before that they should have said it differently. When they say it is a "horse dewormer" they are technically telling the truth. But it is true that it is also approved for SOME uses in human beings.

BUT...treatment for COVID-19 is not one of them. You are still an idiot if you are taking a drug approved for treating parasites and which has not been shown to be effective against COVID-19 to treat COVID-19. Portraying Rogan as an idiot is valid. It just should have been done in a different way.

No, my Aunt's sister-in-law.

Florida now has America's lowest COVID rate. Does Ron DeSantis deserve credit?

It’s doubtful even DeSantis himself would claim he’s the reason Florida is recording so many fewer COVID cases today than in August. The virus, we’ve known for some time, comes in waves — waves that ascend, peak and ultimately recede on a remarkably consistent timeline.
...
Either way, the DeSantis argument acknowledges all this. Waves of infection are inevitable — and Florida tends to suffer in the summer, when the heat and humidity force people indoors, his proponents say. Insisting on precautions like vaccines and masks won’t stop these waves. So what’s the point of continuing to infringe on people’s freedom?

There’s a certain logic at work here. One day, experts predict, SARS-CoV-2 will become endemic, spreading seasonally around the globe in ever-evolving variations that might make a lot of people feel ill for a few days but are ultimately much less damaging and deadly because everybody has some degree of immunity through vaccination or prior infection.
...
As a result, letting the virus rip without encouraging precautionary measures such as indoor masking and universal vaccination remains a very risky proposition. In DeSantis’s case, he has effectively discouraged such measures, going so far as to tweet about monoclonal antibodies — an expensive treatment that helps only after you’ve gotten infected and potentially transmitted the virus to others — 30 times more often than vaccines. And in addition to banning mask requirements, he’s seeking to reward those who resist vaccine mandates at work with unemployment benefits and, in an effort to get anti-vax police officers to move to Florida, $5,000 bonuses.
...
And the bottom line is that this summer in Florida, people did not do as well as they should have. Why? Because far too many of them died. The raw numbers alone are staggering. In all of 2020 — before vaccines essentially eliminated the risk of death for most recipients — 23,384 Floridians died of COVID-19. Now nearly as many — 21,000 and counting — have died in the past four months alone. And another 135 Floridians are still dying, on average, every single day.
...
In the end, policy can do only so much during a pandemic. But leaders like DeSantis do have some power to encourage or discourage safety measures, and some responsibility for the behaviors they help to normalize (or not). Their supporters can give them credit for declining case numbers if they choose. But they’re also accountable for how much damage each wave of infection leaves in its wake.

A rational piece looking at both sides of the argument.
