My representative referred me to a Bible passage when I called about the lack of federal COVID response. This is true, mine asked me why I was overreacting when I asked a question about actual rights being infringed upon in NJ and not those make believe ones and then proceeded to tell me he was not the right person to be speaking with regarding the matter. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your representative knows you're the devil ...and was simply trying to do an Exorcism over the phone. Did you vomit split pea soup immediately afterwards?

PharmacoKinetics is what your body does to a drug once ingested ( think metabolism)PharmacoDynamics is what a drug does to your body to make a change, kill an invader, reduce blood pressure etc If you can make it through the 1st 5 minutes, this video shows how/why a pill, an injection and an inhaled drug all behave differently because of the route of administration. For COVID, some of the repurposed drugs didn't work because they couldn't get enough into the lungs without being toxic to your body. If they could have made an inhaled version, that might have solved the problem - but that's no small task and takes a lot of development time.

It's great to have an end in sight, but we are going to start seeing 2.5K-3K deaths/day very soon if the spikes in July/August are in any way predictive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of that depends on how many people get vaccinated, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we're on track to hit 2000 deaths today. I thought that was a couple of weeks away. This is going to be an awful winter.

Xenos Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Some projections as well as good/bad news for this upcoming winter. This part stood out to me: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/11/18/935930352/as-u-s-reaches-250-000-deaths-from-covid-19-a-long-winter-is-coming Quote So where are we in the trajectory of the coronavirus? According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation's latest model, by March 1, the U.S. may see nearly 439,000 total deaths from COVID-19. But Mokdad and his colleagues have calculated two alternative scenarios, depending on the path the country takes. If governmental mandates to limit the spread are eased, the model predicts more deaths: perhaps 587,000 by March 1. But if everyone in the U.S. would wear masks every time they are in public, the number of anticipated casualties by that date drops to about 371,000.

JDBrocks Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Welp, My wife's hospital is now renting two refrigerated trucks indefinitely. She said it feels like April all over again, but this time there's no help on the way. All of the system nurses are needed for covid at their own hospitals. Agency nurses are impossible to come by and insanely expensive. Everyone is working hospital mandated overtime. She told me a story yesterday about a mother and son in adjacent rooms, and the son passed before the mother could say goodbye because of the timing of complications for both of them. It's still pretty scary how unpredictable the illness is case by case in real time. I'm pretty bummed this week - everything sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
