Did you get the flu shot?
Have you met the US Healthcare system?
I posted an FDA tweet a while back with statistics on the different treatment applications that went into their intake process. The vast majority of those never got approval for use. A chunk of them never even got approval to do studies in people. Meaning the base data used to apply for further study was so not compelling or would so not allow current treatment options that they didn't even get to the next step because a patient could be worse off. Even if the data wasn't compelling but a study would do no harm and allow current treatment options at the same time, those would have at least moved a little to prove out they were not helpful.
Sorry, that sucks...In the last couple weeks at my 3 year old's pre-school, they have had at least one case of hand-foot-mouth and a couple of croup. No COVID though!
I'm reminded of the nasal flu vaccine that was discontinued when it wasn't effective enough. Let's hope these do better.
I feel like there were a few vaccines my kids got as infants and/or toddlers that were nasal. At least one I remember? Can't remember which.
Not quite…
…the current spike over seas may need to pass…perhaps the Northern hemisphere winter? I’m optimistic for the spring…then we can fight over some awful economic math full time
With widespread vaccine availability, who cares about cases? As long as the vaccines keep the hospitalizations and deaths in check just get vaccinated and stop worrying about COVID.
This is the key. But if hospitalizations start to increase dramatically, NHS is going to struggle. Capacity, etc....isn't at US levels exactly.
The only one with any power to do anything right now.
So the one not guilty of making it a 101% political p!ssing contest? (Though not angels)
You really need to stop looking backwards.
I hear that’s the new en Vogue way of deflecting from the indefensible.
Yes. I'm required to every year.
Yes…absolutely
Maybe they got their talking points from me!Yes…absolutely
your problem is your talking points line up 99.9% to the talking picture panel. But you don’t watch so you wouldn’t realize that…no foul
They’re not exactly bottoming out, and may have hit their best of the decline.
Fair enough…Maybe they got their talking points from me!
I really don't watch cable news (or any news) at all. A long time ago I learned that I really don't care about 99% of the stories on the news so I stopped watching. It doesn't help that most stories are negative and depressing. I see headlines on the financial news from time to time and then research them.
Fair enough…
…avoid the internet too…just in case
