Anybody want a Corona?

My state did the nursing homes, health care workers & very old people first (75+). Then went to a strictly aged based system - 65-74, 55-64, 45-54, 35-44, then wide open. I'm 42, I have to wait until April 12. I think May 3 it opens to everyone. And they allowed all teachers to be part of the 55-64 group. Over all it's working pretty well.

That is way better than Tier 1A&^+

So the J&J vaccine was developed with aborted fetus stem cells so Catholics aren’t getting it

We all got the MMR vaccine, that's grown in the same medium. They've already got dead baby cells floating through their bloodstream.

Some Catholics were saying that, but if I remember the story right it was at the parish or maybe the diocese level, and higher ups in the church almost immediately said that's stupid don't listen to these people.

The Bishop of Providence came out against it, but in the softest way possible--basically, "Avoid the J&J vaccine if you can, but get it if you have to."

Yeah, and the Vatican statement on it is essentially that but in even softer language.

"when ethically irreproachable Covid-19 vaccines are not available ... it is morally acceptable to receive Covid-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process."

Diplomats Warned of a Coronavirus Danger in Wuhan—2 Years Before the Outbreak:

https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/ ... rpt-474322

In late 2017, top health and science officials at the U.S. embassy in Beijing attended a conference in the Chinese capital. There, they saw a presentation on a new study put out by a group of Chinese scientists, including several from the Wuhan lab, in conjunction with the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Since the 2002 outbreak of SARS—the deadly disease caused by a coronavirus transmitted by bats in China—scientists around the world had been looking for ways to predict and limit future outbreaks of similar diseases. To aid the effort, the NIH had funded a number of projects that involved the WIV scientists, including much of the Wuhan lab’s work with bat coronaviruses. The new study was entitled “Discovery of a Rich Gene Pool of Bat SARS-Related Coronaviruses Provides New Insights into the Origin of SARS Coronavirus.”

These researchers, the American officials learned, had found a population of bats from caves in Yunnan Province that gave them insight into how SARS coronaviruses originated and spread. The researchers boasted that they may have found the cave where the original SARS coronavirus originated. But all the U.S. diplomats cared about was that these scientists had discovered three new viruses that had a unique characteristic: they contained a so-called “spike protein” that was particularly good at grabbing onto a specific receptor in human lung cells known as an ACE2 receptor. That means the viruses were potentially very dangerous for humans—and that these viruses were now in a lab with which they the U.S. diplomats were largely unfamiliar.

Knowing the significance of the Wuhan virologists’ discovery, and knowing that the WIV’s top-level biosafety laboratory (BSL-4) was relatively new, the U.S. embassy health and science officials in Beijing decided to go to Wuhan and check it out. In total, the embassy sent three teams of experts in late 2017 and early 2018 to meet with the WIV scientists, among them Shi Zhengli, often referred to as the “bat woman” because of her extensive experience studying coronaviruses found in bats.

When they sat down with the scientists at the WIV, the American diplomats were shocked by what they heard. The Chinese researchers told them they didn’t have enough properly trained technicians to safely operate their BSL-4 lab. The Wuhan scientists were asking for more support to get the lab up to top standards.

The diplomats wrote two cables back to Washington reporting on their visits to the Wuhan lab. More should be done to help the lab meet top safety standards, they said, and they urged Washington to get on it. They also warned that the WIV researchers had found new bat coronaviruses could easily infect human cells, and which used the same cellular route that had been used by the original SARS coronavirus.

Taken together, those two points—a particularly dangerous groups of viruses being studied in a lab with real safety problems—were intended as a warning about a potential public-health crisis, one of the cable writers told me. They kept the cables unclassified because they wanted more people back home to be able to read and share them, according to the cable writer. But there was no response from State Department headquarters and they were never made public. And as U.S.-China tensions rose over the course of 2018, American diplomats lost access to labs such as the one at the WIV.

“The cable was a warning shot,” one U.S. official said. “They were begging people to pay attention to what was going on.” The world would be paying attention soon enough—but by then, it would be too late.

so if andrew fudging the numbers warrants a trial (rightfully so) why isnt trump going to be on trial?

its not an obsession, its a legit question. his denying of the severity of the virus as well as lack of a response is the same as cuomo (least in my eyes, perhaps birds or chris H can weigh-in on the legality aspect)

You should introduce yourself to the Republican party. You may find more people there.
