Yup, my little kid has been sick free for the longest time when daycare closed. As soon as it reopened however, well you get the idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an uncomfortable feeling entirely concentrated on my belly button. Like someone has rammed their finger in it and is wiggling it around. I'd rather have covid again. You've been to Juboraj Tandoori haven't you. Did you go for the King Prawn Dansak? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he's just really gunning for the title of worst person in the world. I don't understand. Why have masks been politicized?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieMonstah Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) I will say I'm glad corporations are taking this out of governments hands. I'm pulling my car up to Walmart on Monday to watch the fireworks. I live in a pretty rural area so some characters will definitely go trying to look for a fight.

So these guys are mimicking the way the virus enters and trying to stop it before it gets into lungs and other organs and bloodstream. There are memory cells for producing IgA so there is the potential to develop a vaccine using this approach "...a single intranasal dose of ChAd-SARS-CoV-2-S induces high levels of systemic and mucosal IgA and T cell responses, completely prevents SARS-CoV-2 infection in the upper and lower respiratory tracts, and likely confers sterilizing immunity in most animals" IgA is also in mother's milk and provides protection to breastfed newborns who haven't fully developed their own immune systems yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no clue there were vaccines administered via the nasal passages. I know how the virus enters through the nose at time which is why people get tested in the manner in which they do. I just didn't know there'd (potentially) be a way to combat that. Very cool! Also read The Lancet will be posting Phase 1 results of AZD1222 on Monday so that's something to look forward to as far as vaccines are concerned.

If it makes you feel any better, I've never seen a vaccine administration intra-nasally either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, as Amundson’s team learned from other ICUs, when COVID-19 patients who labor to breathe are placed prone on their stomachs, their lungs readjust, frequently improving oxygen levels in a flash. “It’s almost magical,” he says. Scripps has five hospitals in its San Diego network, and the Chula Vista branch routinely transfers out COVID-19 patients, thus far preventing overload at its ICU.
