On a casual plane ride after on Trump Force One, an interesting image was snapped of the entire team eating McDonalds. One man appeared stressed.. slightly sweaty.. Pondering his moment in time.
This is the face of a man who doesn’t to eat seed oil or sugary beverages looks in a group of others who peer pressure him into it….
I can personally attest to the severity of this round.. I had COVID last in 2021 during the final days of the DELTA wave.. that was cruel but largely short-lived compared to this over-extended Pirola version.
Those around me who also experienced it lost taste similar to DELTA, I did not.. Instead it was a wave of strange muscle aches, a sealed-shut nose for about 10 minutes (odd, right?) an
d a strangely active heart. The increase of the heart rate was noticeable and concerning.. any slight movement, even during sleep, increased beats per minute and caused issues.
Now after at least a week of symptoms some things appear to be going a little smoother and some normalcy is returning.
And yes.. it appears both vaccinated and non vaccinated are having some similar conditions *(despite folks still maintinaing that overall symptoms will decrease with the vaccine, boosters, and Paxlovid) In my case I did not take Paxlovid, and also avoided any painkillers.
Increased regular vitamins in triple, however, and quadrupled water intake.
Be safe. Do what’s smart.
This spread of this variant is concerning.
Good thing the CDC completely threw the towel in on it ..
Not only is this above the county average, it also meets the Ohio Department of Health definition of an outbreak,’ the county’s health department said Wednesday.
The spread of cases has raised fears that an American outbreak of the infection that has overwhelmed hospitals China could hit this winter. Several European countries are battling similar crises.
But a source at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that, nationally, ‘nothing is out of the ordinary’.
Chinese officials say they did not detect any “unusual or novel diseases” in the country, the World Health Organization said Thursday, following an official request by the U.N. health agency for information about a potentially worrying spike in respiratory illnesses and clusters of pneumonia in children.
WHO cited unspecified media reports and a global infectious disease monitoring service as reporting clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children in northern China and formally requested more details from China earlier this week.
A troubling new study shows a link between a common fungus and Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists from the Baylor College of Medicine are revealing how the fungus Candida albicans enters the brain, triggers mechanisms that aid in its clearance, and generates toxic protein fragments known as amyloid beta (Ab)-like peptides — a key player in Alzheimer’s disease development.
“Our lab has years of experience studying fungi, so we embarked on the study of the connection between C. albicans and Alzheimer’s disease in animal models,” says study corresponding author Dr. David Corry, the Fulbright Endowed Chair in Pathology and a professor of pathology and immunology and medicine at Baylor, in a university release. “In 2019, we reported that C. albicans does get into the brain where it produces changes that are very similar to what is seen in Alzheimer’s disease. The current study extends that work to understand the molecular mechanisms.”

The 1918 virus killed the young, but it was no exception to the observation that infectious diseases kill the weak and sick most easily.
Sharon DeVitte, an anthropologist at the University of Colorado, Boulder and author of the paper, said the finding had a clear message: “We should never expect any accidental cause of death to be blind.”
Surging demand is contributing to a shortage of polyethylene glycol 3350, the generic name for laxatives like Miralax and Glycolax, gastroenterologists and suppliers say. Consumers are noticing emptier shelves in drugstores across the country as a result.

This is how the Associated Press summed up the Justice’s opinion on COVID and our recent history:
The Supreme Court got rid of a pandemic-related immigration case with a single sentence.
Justice Neil Gorsuch had a lot more to say, leveling harsh criticism of how governments, from small towns to the nation’s capital, responded to the gravest public health threat in a century.
The justice, a 55-year-old conservative who was President Donald Trump’s first Supreme Court nominee, called emergency measures taken during the COVID-19 crisis that killed more than 1 million Americans perhaps “the greatest intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime history of this country.”
Seven US government investigators briefly fell ill in early March while studying the possible health impacts of a toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed to CNN on Thursday.
The investigators’ symptoms included sore throats, headaches, coughing and nausea – consistent with what some residents experienced after the February 3 train derailment that released a cocktail of hazardous chemicals into the air, water and soil.
