More long term complications in those long covid cases........organ deterioration and failure.

So much for a mild flu!

On average, 1,100 Americans are dying every day from COVID-19 as the death rate quickly climbs, according to The COVID Tracking Project.

The daily death count was 1,321 on Saturday, reaching a 7-day average of 1,100. The Project reported that since early May, the only day with a higher daily death average was August 4.

Cases and hospitalizations continue to rise rapidly as well, breaking records most days and outpacing the rise in the number of tests being administered.




On Saturday, The Project reported 163,473 new cases and 69,455 current hospitalizations, setting another all-time high as hospitals are once again being overwhelmed by the latest surges, health experts say.

The US has been consistently breaking the record for the number of new cases per day, as states and cities across the US are experiencing a surge.

"We see the same patterns we've seen for the past couple weeks," The Project said in a tweet. "Tests are rising, but cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are rising much faster."

On Saturday, at least 38 states reported more than 1,000 new cases, while many set records for the number of detected cases, The Project reported.

Many states have enacted new mask mandates, statewide lockdowns, and travel restrictions to try and slow the spread as the country heads into the winter and holiday season.

Nearly 237,000 people have died in the US from coronavirus since the start of the pandemic. The CDC predicts that number could reach 282,000 by December 5.

 

A disagreement.....how quaint.

Consider viral grow rates.........viruses double their populations in minutes........we take years!

For those in the US claiming deaths are not climbing like shitter just examine the cdc's own data.

More good news on these modern mRNA vaccines.......first of all we had Pfizer's vaccine at 90% effective, the Russia's Sputnik vaccine at 92% effective and now Moderna's vaccine at 95% effective.

All these data are very small numbers........but Moderna at least released data for both the placebo group and the vaccinated group suggesting it may also reduce the intensity of the infection in those people who do contract it.

Moderna Covid vaccine candidate almost 95% effective, trials show
US-based biotech firm is latest to reveal impressive results from phase 3 trials of jab

The race for a coronavirus vaccine has received another shot in the arm with the US biotech firm Moderna becoming the latest to reveal impressive results from phase 3 trials of its jab.

An interim analysis released on Monday, and based on 95 patients with confirmed Covid infections, found the candidate vaccine has an efficacy of 94.5%. The company said it now plans to apply to the US regulator, the Food and Drug Administration, for emergency-use authorisation in the coming weeks. In the analysis, 90 of the patients received the placebo with the remaining five the vaccine.

The results are the latest encouraging news to emerge from the breakneck effort to develop a vaccine against coronavirus and follow a similar interim analysis earlier this month from a collaboration between Pfizer and the German firm BioNTech, which suggest its vaccine is 90% effective at preventing illness.

The Moderna vaccine, which is being trialled in more than 30,000 volunteers, is not expected to be available outside the US until next year. The biotech said it would have 20 million doses ready to ship in the US before the end of 2020 and hoped to manufacture 500 million to one billion doses globally next year.

So far, the UK does not stand to benefit from the vaccine. Moderna has agreed to provide the US with 100 million doses, with an option to buy 400 million more. Japan, Canada, Switzerland, Qatar and Israel have also signed agreements, and the European Commission has a “potential purchase agreement” for 80 to 160 million doses. The UK chose not to participate in the EU vaccine purchase scheme, with Matt Hancock arguing in July that the government could source vaccine faster on its own.
The Moderna vaccine, which is based on similar mRNA technology as BioNTech’s, is expected to be assessed by the FDA on a final analysis of 151 Covid cases among trial participants who will be followed on average for more than two months.

If the results remain as impressive as the trial goes on, the Moderna vaccine could potentially provide a major advantage over the Pfizer vaccine. While Pfizer’s vaccine requires ultracold freezing between -70C and -80C from production facility to patient, Moderna said it had improved the shelf life and stability of its own vaccine, meaning that it can be stored at standard refrigeration temperatures of 2C to 8C for 30 days. It can be stored for six months at -20C for shipping and long-term storage, the company said.

But at £38 to £45 for a course of two shots, Moderna’s vaccine is more expensive than the other frontrunners. AstraZeneca and Oxford University are aiming to sell their vaccine at about £3 a dose, while vaccines in trial with Johnson and Johnson and a collaboration between Sanofi and GSK are both expected to cost about £8 per dose. Pfizer is charging the US about £30 for a two-shot course. The UK has ordered 40m Pfizer shots but none of the Moderna vaccine.

Moderna’s two-shot vaccine injects genetic material called mRNA into the body, which cells then use to churn out the spike protein the virus uses to invade cells. The spike protein covers the surface of the virus and is one of the main targets of the body’s immune response to wipe out the infection.

The interim results are based on an analysis of confirmed Covid cases among both placebo and vaccinated arms of the trial, starting two weeks after the second dose is administered.

A question mark that remains over the Pfizer vaccine is whether it prevents serious illness. The Moderna results, released by an independent data safety monitoring board, are encouraging on this point. Of 11 participants who developed severe Covid while on the trial, all were in the placebo group. The results also suggest the vaccine is effective in older people and those from diverse ethnic backgrounds.

Moderna’s interim analysis includes a safety review of data available so far. The company said it had found no significant safety concerns, with most reactions being mild to moderate and short-lived. Among the side effects reported were injection site pain in 2.7% of trial volunteers after the first jab. After the second, the most significant side effects included fatigue in 9.7%, muscle pain in 9% and joint pain in 5%. Others had headaches, other pains, or redness at the injection site.

Prof Trudie Lang, professor of global health research at the University of Oxford, said: “It is very good news indeed to see another vaccine coming through with similar efficacy results as were reported last week from Pfizer.

“This is also an interim analysis, which means that there were enough cases within the vaccinated volunteers to give statistical significance and allow the team to break the blind to determine who had the active vaccine and who had placebo.

“This is really encouraging and it further demonstrates that a vaccine for Covid is a real probability and that having more than one supplier should help assure better and more equitable global availability.”

Peter Openshaw, professor of experimental medicine at Imperial College, London, said the Moderna results were “tremendously exciting” and boosted optimism that a choice of good Covid vaccines would be available in the next few months.

He said the inclusion of high-risk and elderly people in the Moderna trial suggested the vaccine would protect those most vulnerable to the disease, while the reported side effects were “what we would expect with a vaccine that is working and inducing a good immune response”.

“Moderna have also announced that the vaccine can be kept in a conventional freezer at -20C for up to 6 months, and that once thawed the vaccine can be kept for up to 30 days at standard refrigerator temperatures of 2 to 8C. This makes the vaccine much easier to deliver,” he said.

“This announcement adds to the general feeling of optimism about vaccines for Covid-19. What we still don’t know is how long any protective immunity may last. For that, we will need to wait,” he added.

OK
NO more pussyfooting around .
Being pc is boring and just a waste of time.

This shit has already gone on to long ,
and
MUCH longer than it needed to.

All around the world ,
SELFISH , IGNORANTV AND ARROGANT PEOPLE ARE EXTENDIND AND PERPERUATING THIS PROBLEM

UNNESCASSAILY

FOR THIER OWN PEOPLE
THEIR COUNTRY ,
AND WORST OF ALL ,
FOR ALL THE REST OF THE WORLD.

THAT IS THE BLUNT REALITY.

SHORT OF IRON FIST TOTAL ISOLATION , WITH TOTAL BORDER CLOSURE ,

there is no way of keeping this virus out of anywhere long term , if some , or even a few , are not making any real effort.

THEY ARE CONDEMNING THE REST OF THE WORLD TO RIDE ALONG WITH THEM
in the do nothing brigade.

TOTALLY SELFISH

It is so successful , that it has proven without doubt , that only full control and prevention measures will work.

Anything short of that , it can and will find a goaround to beat us.



There are no excuses.

It is not rocket science.

IT CAN BE CONTROLLED
and
IT CAN BE ELIMINATED

People need to wake up.
This is not a conspiracy.
It is not a Chinese plot.

The only people who may profit from this , are the ones misleading you ,
and
eventually the ones who will eventually profit from people's stupidity , and eventually provide an alternative fix ,
so the lazy selfish don't have to make the effort.

I HAVE ONLY ONE QUESTION.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP CONTAIN AND EVENTUALLY
ELIMINATE COVID 19 ?

 

Hmmm...

That almost sounds like somebody who has seen the light - but I seriously doubt it.

I'm betting that what he means by "The only people who may profit from this , are the ones misleading you" - he cannot be indicating the left.
It must be Trump, right? Trump MUST be to blame - he HAS to be to blame!!!

It's always Trump - never the left, seeking total authoritarian control over the 'unwashed masses' by elevating and keeping alive the big COVID scare, which has a 98 to 99%% survival rate.

 

On average ,
in spite of strong and strict border controls
we are constantly dealing with an average of
20 import cases a WEEK.

That is 20 people arriving here every week ,
putting us ALL at risk ,
and requiring specialist managed isolation ,

putting those tasked with looking after them at HIGH RISK

I have a solution.
Totally close the border to all who have not completed 21 days managed isolation ,
immediately prior to travel ,
and transferred from that directly to a managed AirNew Zealand direct flight to here.
then do anothe 14 day isolation
NO EXCEPTIONS.

That would fix that problem.

Remember ,
we had 102 days with NO cases.
So we know it can be done , and were getting a bit sick of dealing with others slackness.

We miss you , but we're ticking along very nicely thankyou , without you lovely tourists .

 

No more pussy footing around?
I love that word.
Maybe the world should lay blame squarely on the shoulders of China.
Forget the bickering of who could've done what and when.
It's out there and it's not going away anytime soon.
Put the politics aside and let's survive as a world.
Ps...You're font change is irritating and unnecessary.
It just tells me you have way too much time on your hands.

 

Just non-fuck you along with Trump @shootersa and all the rest of the Trump Ratlickers. You sit here and dare to say this when Trump is still doing everything he can to make sure more Americans get sick and die of COVID 19. Get non-fucked in your own little reactionary fantasy world.

WAIT WAIT WE KNOW!!! WE KNOW!!!!! LETS FOLLOW THE SWEDISH EXAMPLE!!!

How about now you bunch of ratlicking quisling cult followers? Should we still follow Sweden?

Sweden stages coronavirus U-turn, banning public events with more than eight people
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/s...vents-with-more-than-eight-people-11605538856

 

I'm doing my part by staying at home and washing my hands.

 

Problem solved.
Biden won and will be President come January 20, 2021.
He'll fix it.

 

A friend with a sense of humor sent this to Shooter.
Bit of humor to break the monotony of
"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE AND IT'S TRUMPS FAULT!!!!"

 

well this is not a prediction I would have expected from a porn forum

 

Check the date it was started. It sure beat any reference to the virus that I saw in the news.

Interesting youtube video explaining exactly what these mRNa vaccines are.........these vaccines are essentially synthetic viruses or vectors that deliver mRNA into our cells and our body's protein synthetic machinery makes the spike protein that ellicits the immune response!

This is the reason a strict cold chain is required to distribute these vaccines as opposed to more traditional vaccines which usually only contain dead or attenuated virus.
