In a Denver Post article I saw that a Douglas county parent is going to try to sue over the mask mandate. I'm not sure why social services are not looking at parents that do not want to follow basic safety and health measures. It makes me wonder what other types of endangerments or things they are doing to their kids. Child abuse comes in all forms and not protecting the health of your child is one. This needs to be investigated more. I didn't include the link to this article since the Denver Post blocks you after so many page views. I'm sure you could also find more on the story elsewhere.
General Information:
"The coronavirus can infect body fat, new research suggests - a clue about obesity's link to severe COVID-19" - This makes me wonder what it is about fat cells that makes them great for viruses. I know that they are a fuel source to your body, but is there something extra that viruses just like about them. This is something that I do want to research more later. https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-infects-body-fat-obesity-covid-hospitalization-death-19-2021-12?fbclid=IwAR2MiHanncUq6AGtmTaEV8D7AQFH07QPpipAJXkGfqQSk_NJxTnzsptrlV4
"Dr. Amesh Adalja: Healthcare workers 'burned out' from hospitalizations that could be 'avoided by a simple vaccine'" - This is just another article that keeps point out the same key thing: The vaccine works and the people not getting it are now the issue. https://www.msnbc.com/andrea-mitchell-reports/watch/dr-amesh-adalja-healthcare-workers-burned-out-from-hospitalizations-that-could-be-avoided-by-a-simple-vaccine-128315973564?fbclid=IwAR3OcQ748WQ_Nxcf_z_N25DfHgR1WzW8r12CHdF72QuQSzEeWZj-4s8G1Jk
"17 pandemic innovations that are here to stay" - I disagree with so much in this article. First off cannabis is not essential, it is a recreation drug unless you have a prescription for it. I never approved of it becoming legal for general use because it is still a drug that can very easily be overdosed on. This one I think will continue to get push back on. Robot deliveries are just a fad. I've actually never even seen one out and about. I think if they were really becoming a thing you would be seeing they everywhere like those popping toys. They are just not in high enough use to get any real traction. QR codes. Can we just say no. They only work on some phones and then the lighting has to be just right. I've had issues on my own phone and many different phone types from Moto's to iPhones have issues. QR codes are more of a pain. They also represent inequity because not all phone can read them. Many resturants also switched to using them instead of having paper menus, but then guests had to walk away due to not having the technology to read them. This impacts both the money the resturant could have gotten and people not being able to eat at places due to technology bias. Things do change, but not always for the better. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/10/17-ways-covid-hit-fast-forward-on-the-future-523845?fbclid=IwAR2HTZluvIibRmgjiECWiQnYwWygSFZHYx6mQddLB14J43yhJKC-wPR8o8I
"Anti-vaccine doctor fired for trying to treat COVID-19 patients with ivermectin" - So this one is a mixed bag for me. First off the doctor should have just been fired for being anti-vaccine. Second, the off use of drugs are very common. I know that right now people are arguing about what works and what doesn't, but we don't learn unless we try. At the same time ivermectin treatment is more then I got from Kaiser, which was nothing. So some treatment could be better then no treatment as long as the drug is giving in small doses and the people are aware of what side effects it may have and treatment for those are around in case something happens. If the hospital had a policy against ivermectin then he did break the policy, but why was the policy there in the first place. Does the hospital have any treatment options for covid. If not then instead of just blocking everything they need to work to get something in place. They are failing the people that count on them like how Kaiser failed me. This just shows how messed up our medical system is and it's not the ways we expected. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mississippi-doctor-fired-anti-vaccine-parasite-medication-ivermectin/?fbclid=IwAR23794qIo1iR0KqjZfEWuef85pEEw4qsvmtp6j3BHfqcyFS_pW09lIKou0
"Pfizer CEO says we may need a fourth vaccine dose to combat the Omicron variant" - This is basically going to be like the flu shot where we need a new one each year. The way we are handling covid allows it to change and there may never be an end to new versions. https://www.businessinsider.com/pfizer-fourth-vaccine-dose-to-combat-omicron-ceo-says-2021-12?fbclid=IwAR0dyGR7FafYGaWsRal0kFwGj-2fawqsKMmJn4DGXG08VALw9WSd91J-kJA
International:
"Fix the global vaccine rollout or face even worse COVID variants, experts warn" - Some of our worst bugs have come from areas with the worst health care. These things are very important to look at not only to get COVID in check, but also on what we can do to impact future pandemics. https://www.npr.org/2021/12/09/1062475770/as-the-omicron-covid-variant-spreads-experts-sound-warning-on-vaccine-access?fbclid=IwAR1l1Hk8PoQYZ42ibJy7wNRQGPj89pRua1u-8BcTjt7DclEjqgTGriL1kk0
"Omicron appears to be spreading faster in the UK than in South Africa, experts say" - I wish this article would have went into more detail. https://www.businessinsider.com/omicron-covid-variant-spread-faster-uk-south-africa-cases-2021-12?fbclid=IwAR1OuCGRPKstCe3HusDgfVTlm4cBUaJ9yJwciY-R8kJBKLa9fuP0vOuywWk
"Japanese scientists are developing face masks that glow under UV light if the wearer has COVID-19" - This is just too cool. Leave it to the Japanese to be above their time in coming up with new ideas. https://www.insider.com/japanese-scientists-masks-glow-if-wearer-has-covid-2021-12?fbclid=IwAR1pkTIl43UlRi5z13gpx34wMB9qHRy86BcVUd38-F0vjvh7YQoruzyTsLY
