“Here there be monsters”
My all-time favorite map notation.

If the Governor continues to do nothing, I might compliment him.
Instead, because no one wants to be accused of killing people or being mean and heartless, he will likely come up with some counterproductive virtue-signal measure to prolong Covid hanging around and maintain the state of fear.
Live your lives people. One day we will get an honest accounting (well, as honest as “experts” might come up with) and we’ll find the costs of lockdown far exceeded benefits – delayed diagnoses, mental problems, suicides, kids not learning anything, etc.
It is the delusion that we know everything – we don’t. Back to what your Momma said – wash your hands, don’t cough on people, if sick, stay home.
If you get symptoms (loss of sense of taste or smell oddly an early indicator), act quickly (I recommend HCQ cocktail, but only play a doctor on this blog).-
If Northam said his plan is to minimize disruptions and try to protect the vulnerable without lockdowns I’d applaud him. If he said he had a plan of successively tighter restrictions in an effort to slow the spread I’d be frustrated but I’d grant him the fact that he has a plan.
But he has no plan. The surge will hit Virginia like everywhere else, Northam will panic and implement knee jerk restrictions without warning. This will result in the maximum economic damage.

As a public service to our “science-based” Governor – actually, as a Doctor he should have some “science-basis” – question is…does it outweigh his “political-based” figuring?
We are dealing with a respiratory virus. Short of turning all of us into Ted Kaczynski (sp?), it will do what it does. In fact, this study conducted with Marines showed the measures were counterproductive.
Please, Gov, let my people go!

It’s beginning to look less and less respiratory and more and more cardiovascular with a higher rate of permanent damage to go along with the permanent death.
Given it was the millitary that spread the flu in 1918, why should we believe them capable of a quarantine in the first place?
-
The first case of 1918 Flu was diagnosed at Fort Riley, even to this day we don’t know where it originated.
Military members at current have been effectively quarantined by DOD directive. During the peak if they were overseas their PCS’s were put on hold for months (so their goods were in route, but they weren’t). If were and are CONUS they cannot travel to a state with high outbreak numbers.
I would think it’s more of a cardiopulmonary affect, the effect on the lungs can just as well assist in the damage to the cardio function.
-
Matt, start reading on the role of ACE2 in cell entry. ACE2 is present in diabetes, hypertension, heart damage, etc., the comorbid stuff. And yes, it’s still a lung issue. But there was some queer stuff with clear lungs and still dropping O2.

Again the cardiopulmonary system is all related, outside of that what the article you provided is attempting to prove is a false premise.
Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to contract, an angiotensin II deficiency is what leads to reduced insulin secretion.
They are a conversely related regarding the mechanism of action.
What your article fails to link or understand is that much like the 1918 Flu, which killed more young and healthy than the old and infirm was the cytokine storm.

Fine. Suck an egg.”Aww poor little NN is pouting like a kiddo, I guess instead of searching for articles supporting your own confirmation bias, you should read scholarly works.

Cool. I wonder if anyone has ever done a study of the short-term, e.g., month, movement of Americans. Kinda looks like fish swimming around a bowl in the upper Midwest.
Jefferson Starship, “Miracles”, not Fleetwood Mac.
I always liked the funky, “I believe in miracles. Where you from? You sexy thing.”
-
Damn. You’re right about Fleetwood Mac. I’ll make the change when I get back to my laptop.
-
It’s okay. It’s an age thing I’m sure.
Just guessing but I’ll bet you know all the Cars, REM, and Talking Heads lyrics by heart.Oh, don’t use the funky Hot Chocolate song. Northam has enough trouble without you pulling a Village People move on him.

And it’s Hot Chocolate for “You Sexy Thing.”

I would have looked it up but I hate this old iPad. Sometimes when I switch tabs the stupid thing reloads all tabs and *poof* any typing is lost and these touch keypads SUCK.

Whoa! Way misspelled.

Edit made, you sexy thing.

Major heartthrob to the over 70 crowd. Ew.

I think I’ve lost the bubble here………. 😉
Somewhat jargonless fear porn for Steve. It may not be a pulmonary disease afterall.

You may not realize how apropos that reference may be.
You have to ask yourself a question? Do you feel lucky?
say……… how come Md is so much worse if Hogan is so much better than Northam?
Oh I see.. Virginia is bound to get worse so that’s why Northam/Va are worse than Hogan/Md?
nice spin! 😉
Covid, electronics, and the death of society.
For 50 years, I have been receiving bills and stroking checks. In that time, I have suffered four (4, count ’em IV) lost checks — 1 mortgage payment that was in a lost bank bag at Va. Nat. Bank (man, did they know how to apologize and grovel), 1 Texas-NM Power, and 2 to the City for PPT. I’m sure they’ll find those last two in a city desk some day. Good thing he’s been promoted to Assistant City Manager.
Since Covid in May, I converted all utilities to electronic billing with push payments from my bank. In less than 6 months, I have had 2 lost electronic payments resulting in hate emails, angry phone calls, foul accusations, and that was THEM! Those two providers have now been converted back to USPS billing and paper checks.
Entropy rising.
