    New data show a really disturbing set of sequelae after seemingly uneventful recoveries from "mild" cases of Covid 19.

     

    Ominously, they mirror what is a widely unrecognized part of the story of the 1918 Spanish Flu., which led to brain disease in over a million survivors.

     

    Serious and potentially fatal brain disorders triggered by coronavirus, as they emerge in mildly affected or recovering patients.

     

    The list of symptoms is scary. and "...ranged from brain inflammation and delirium to nerve damage and stroke. "

     

    More to the point: "In some cases, the neurological problem was the patient’s first and main symptom."

     

    So much for the famous mild (ie, no breathing problems) case..

    On the brighter side, the anti inflammatory action of Cannabis on the brain promises some protection.

    A book can't lick Its own balls - nor its owner's - different talent set. Color me unimpressed. Surprised *you're* defending it, though you always hinted you were a man of the Book - just didnt say which one.

    Trinity Divinity, huh - from a non-repentant Jew? That's gonna take some salesmanship. Easier to sell used Korans where I grew up - from Nasser to NASA to NASCAR,  rebranding 1-2-3. What I learned from Larry, Shemp and Mohammed.

    The Kim Kardashian bum vs the typical bum - Kanye's getting to him.

    Yeah. The magic hand motions are mesmerizing to The Base. They make thought and the virus disappear. 

    For The Base, it's bad enough when you buy a sheetload of Snake Oil.

    The kicker? When you realize you paid (all things considered) an astronomical price for it.

    It's possible. It's happened before.

    Laudable efforts by De Santis promise a strong end-of-quarter performance by Florida Man, even as The Lone Ranger is hobbled by pussy Governor Abbot showing no game in a disappointing surrender to the Soros/Gates puppet masters....Intervention from Goveernor in Waiting Patrick hoped for to boost Lone Star numbers....Wait, what??

    Montana 127 new cases - whatll happen to Don's cowtown base once they realize they're not immune from his shitshow?

    Florida will pass California next week to take the #2 slot. Likely #1 by time of the convention, beating out Trump's old home state. Don leaving his mark.

    ETA      We created the COVID-19 bereavement multiplier, an indicator that clarifies one downstream impact of COVID-19 mortality and can be applied to different epidemiological projections of death counts: How many people are at risk for losing a grandparent, parent, sibling, spouse, or child for each COVID-19 death. In the United States, we estimate that on average, under diverse epidemiological circumstances, every death from COVID-19 will leave approximately nine bereaved.

    The enormity of the bungling combined with the epic mulltipliers in human and economic costs for his performance is breathtaking!

    The whole mask fiasco was so counter to his interest and so unnecessary in any sane universe, you grope to understand what ego syntonic outcome he hopes for by picking a matter of life or death and trivializing it to a sneech signal.

    Earlier on Thursday, Dr. Fauci told FiveThirtyEight that the political divisiveness in the country is hurting the response to the pandemic.

    “You know, from experience historically, that when you don’t have unanimity in an approach to something, you’re not as effective in how you handle it,” Dr. Fauci said. “So I think you’d have to make the assumption that if there wasn’t such divisiveness, that we would have a more coordinated approach.”
