Last administration and current administration should have worked to make them available. I said it last year. Being distributed now…. Sending what little we had to China probably didn’t help but not sure it mattered that much…. “Mask don’t work” talk probably would have suppressed demand anyway…

Last week, the WHO warned that the next Covid variant will be even more contagious than omicron.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an epidemic occurs when the number of cases of a disease increases, often suddenly, above what is usually expected.
The WHO declares a disease a pandemic when its growth is exponential and it is spreading globally."

Re: All things CoronaVirus
So if its a weaker variant, with less fatalities then we were getting from previous flu seasons is it still a pandemic, or is it endemic, like the flu?

I know I sound like a dog on a bone with my not letting go of early treatments through re-purposed drugs, but this article is thought provoking. Especially the part where Merck conducted safety trials of ivermectin at ten times the normal dose that showed it was safe. I know it's not your "gold standard" double blind randomized trial. These are simply clinical observations. My point is, if its proven safe and shows some promise, what is your beef with a doctor prescribing it? Even if it doesn't work, what is the harm? Except to Pfizer shareholders.

Re: All things CoronaVirus
What's the play here....a combination , one shot, or spread out?
Flu shot on Sept. 1st......covid shot on Oct 1.......pneumonia shot Nov 1......
Hpv -herpes shot for Valentines day........Shingles shot for April Fools........an arthitis shot for Memorial day.........
sounds like a better plan........you should, after all, CONSULT your doctor. They NEVER get visits from sales reps from drug companies. never.
Glad out state Governments have the funds to push a private companies product with all these public health "services announcements"
Really.....get a flu shot......isn't an advertizement for the shot makers ?
what a system.

I did read the article, which to me was using cases to define a pandemic. Please feel free to tell me what I missed or misinterpreted. I never took organic chemistry. My point was why panic over cases if the disease isn't causing widespread hospitalizations, severe illness and death. My "if" was "a weaker variant". I go back to Zika.

... Zika was never the threat, never going to infect as many people as COVID. Same with Ebola. I recall very well, the same people who now are down playing COVID were losing their minds over Ebola, afraid they would get it and would liquify.

Do you remember the breathless reporting on that as if it was Bubonic Plague? Thank God NIAID ydidn't get too involved or we might be walking around with mosquito netted pith helmets and full body mosquito resistant clothing.Kismet wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 7:39 amI didn't disclose any opinions on the topic.

Why are we still measuring cases when hospitalizations and fatalities are the things that really matter to the average person?Kismet wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 7:09 am https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/02/covid-w ... warns.html
"Covid will always be an epidemic virus — not an endemic one, scientist warns
Key Points
Last week, the WHO warned that the next Covid variant will be even more contagious than omicron.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an epidemic occurs when the number of cases of a disease increases, often suddenly, above what is usually expected.
The WHO declares a disease a pandemic when its growth is exponential and it is spreading globally."
Swell.
I know I sound like a dog on a bone with my not letting go of early treatments through re-purposed drugs, but this article is thought provoking. Especially the part where Merck conducted safety trials of ivermectin at ten times the normal dose that showed it was safe. I know it's not your "gold standard" double blind randomized trial. These are simply clinical observations. My point is, if its proven safe and shows some promise, what is your beef with a doctor prescribing it? Even if it doesn't work, what is the harm? Except to Pfizer shareholders.

As for endemic vs. pandemic I suggest you READ the article at the link I posted which might answer your questions.
