The WHO article says "Enterovirus PCR testing of all ten cases (with either blood, throat swab, nose swab, nasopharyngeal aspirate or cerebrospinal fluid samples) confirmed the presence of an enterovirus, subtyping (where available) to either coxsackie B3 or coxsackie B4." Don't know if...

I liked that movie! He was funny! Years ago our family dr looked just like Don Knotts. :lol: He could always make you laugh! I always saw Barney Fife when I looked at him. :lau

Thank you! Have recently read about Xanthomonas species as I am an avid gardener and always seeing little spots on plants in our heat and humidity it's hard to know what they are bacterial or fungal. lol Never occurred to me something like that could be used as a bio-weapon. As for the wet...

@heatherbeast Thank you for adding your perspective here and for the job you do under such difficult circumstances. ❤️ I am curious of your opinion of the origin of this virus. How this all started? Of course if you do not want to answer, I respect that too.

Yep and there are a couple small hair salons here as well.

Similar to our area as well. Many here say definitely by Nov.

I'm sure that was stressful for you and the business you work for. I know a couple businesses here that shut down permanently. I think everyone had many stressful events over the last couple years, my family included.

Washington was aware something was going on in China in Dec before it was announced to the world. They did not even start checking passengers from Wuhan entering the US until much later. This should have been done by Jan 1. By the time the first case was identified in a passenger from Wuhan...

YES! But if it was taken more seriously from the beginning maybe would have been a much shorter disruption instead of now 3 years with no end in sight. All the civil unrest, people so angry and violent, shortages of common but necessary things. It just seems to go on and on.

This. ☝️ From the first signs of spread in other countries, Washington thought that would not happen here, so why disrupt the economy. Foolish!

High today here in eastern NC is about 55, that's cold to me too! :) In a few days back to 70, that's more like it!

I do hope you feel better quickly!

I read this and I thought I'd missed some posts somehow?! I thought what are we confessing here? 🤔 I don't want either, thank you! :gig

The joke is funny. The fogginess not so much.

This was my thinking exactly. I had one J&J in March as only one was recommended at that time. By the time I was eligible for a booster, the recommending's changed to you needed 2 J&J approx. 2 months apart. Well it was October and that could no longer be corrected. It was left to individuals...

Thank you so much for your response. I greatly respect everyone's view on these things. I know people who feel/seem to have had serious problems from the vaccine. I knew people who died from covid that were in great health and had no comorbidities. I also know a lot of people who had covid...

Often medicine is more about finding out what it is *not* ... to try and figure out what it *might* be. Sometimes it happens quickly. Unfortunately sometimes it is quite a long process. My aunt and uncle went recently to get their covid vaccine. She is a retired nurse of 40+ years and in...

I haven't had time to look at this yet but saw this announcement on aphis site today. They have put together a dashboard with data on Sars-Cov-2 in animals. https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/newsroom/stakeholder-info/sa_by_date/sa-2022/sars-cov-2-updated-dashboard

Sad we still have to think like this but I think about it too. With many fruits, if they have no smell they have no taste! :hmm

For a long while I was used to washing my hands a lot and all the hospital germ precautions. My father was a transplant patient. He received a heart in 1990. For a while after his surgery he had to mask in public as a precaution against sickness because of the immunosuppressants. You...
