Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Well, learn something everyday.

I've been so frustrated over the differences given between mRNA vaccines and vector based vaccines. To me, the "new" part is using people's cells to make just the spike proteins. I couldn't see any important difference between using a lipid layer to get the instructions into peoples cells for that to happen and using a viral vector to do it.

So describing how mRNA uses our cell machinery to make the spike protein and the describing how the viral vector is used to get "genetic material" into the cell.... seemed to me to be a bait and switch.

It still seems like a bait and switch to me, but not the same way I thought. I thought the "genetic material" was exactly the same in each. It isn't. I think it ends up making the exact same spike protein (but will look that back up, if I can, I think it was from the insanely long piece in the Atlantic about a year ago), but it makes it more differently than I realized. My apologies to grammar gurus for "more differently."

At least you spelled "grammar" right

We barely got a dusting. It did a steep drop in temps last night. My ladies aren't sure what to do. They go outside and run back inside. Poor things.

I cant see mine until I let them out. We have their run covered in 4 mil plastic to keep the drafts out. Cant see through it though.

people said early on remdesiver was bad for covid because of a certain individual. Now its what my local er is using for treatment on all covid patients.

We gave everyone admitted to the hospital with significant symptoms a 5 day regiment or Remdesiver.

I have cameras up. I am always spying on them.

ER sent my bosses grandfather home under "refusal of treatment" because he wouldn't take remdesiver. What was the 5 day regiment? He wasnt given any other option. Hes at home with an O2 tank

I would do that but I'm too lazy .it'd be nice though because I'd know what they need before I got out there

Why did he refuse it?
