not so much to lighten the mood - although I think the data is reason to be cautiously optimistic...from NYT and the first link is more national

this is colorado specific...the flattening of the curve seems pretty apparent....and the recent jump in death rate might be explained by a reporting issue from some counties that got backlogged....

`saw the two ?C130's? early today and the four or five jets this afternoon.
We saw the 5 jets flying straight north - maybe returning home after the front range flyover? Saw one bigger plane that I thought at first might have been a commercial airliner, but it was pretty low and not on a normal DIA flight path, and then saw a helicopter circle around near it (probably news video feed?)...

The below video is 30 minutes long. It runs quick though. Several topics are highlighted below.

Dr. Richard Bartlett | ACWT Interview 7.2.20
- From his experience with patients, Dr. Bartlett believes the generic medicine Budesonide, inhaled via a nebulizer, is the answer. Low cost, low risk, quick. The medicine is long used to prevent asthma attacks. "It's a respiratory inflammatory solution for a respiratory inflammatory problem."
- Other high-population-density countries (Taiwan, Japan, Singapore) are using a similar process - with great results - very low death rates
- He comments on the high number mutations the virus has taken (Iceland found 243 mutations as of April)
- He believes a vaccine will not be possible, due to the high mutation rate
- A vaccine would not be needed
- The inhaled Budesonide process is not affected by mutations - it's still effective
- Big pharma won't make any money on Budesonide (it's generic and is in ample supply)
Got Phizer #2 today, 14 days til full immunity on May 6. May 6 2020 was my last post on this thread, it's been a F-ed up year and I'm glad it's over.
Congratulations. Kind of a hilarious post following "Doctor Bartlett thinks a vaccine will not be possible"

I pray that all will go well for you.

I'm getting my second vaccination in a week myself, although with so many abstaining I do think mutations are likely to end up being a huge problem.
I'll just leave this here... Immunization with SARS coronavirus vaccines leads to pulmonary immunopathology on challenge with the SARS virus
Wait, you're saying we can cure cancer in mice but not SARS?
To each his own. Some people have other health concerns or life experiences that make them wary of vaccines. That article and others have been circulating for a while and have given me serious pause; when I was 9 I watched my Dad, ironically a thoracic surgeon, die on a respirator. Believe me I've had my reservations too. However, I first off am pro-vaccine across the board, but moreover I contracted Covid early last year and had a rough time with it to say the least. they treated me for Strep with a Z Pack, it was early and I was initially misdiagnosed, but conveniently that was the treatment at the time for Covid too. I mostly recovered, but for over a year I've had lingering symptoms, specificaly incredible pain in my right hip and lower back to the point that simple hikes like the Quarry at Golden Gate Canyon were so painful I mostly stopped doing them. Uphills were torture, took all the fun out of it. My workouts were terrible as well. No treatments, yoga, exercise etc... worked, meds helped me sleep but I've been sleeping on my couch with my hip-in-the-dip. Three days after my first shot I woke up feeling fantastic and did (in sets) 100 squats, 100 good mornings, and 42 minutes on the eliptical. I am almost pain free and actually going hiking this afternoon.
This lady had a similar experience:

Your body, your choice.
Glad you're doing better now Paul, my mom was hospitalized for over a week after trying to handle it at home for 10 days on her own, it was brutal and took her months to recover before she was cleared to scuba dive again which is her passion. My neighbors brother in law had a bad case early on and was in a coma for 2 weeks and in the hospital for much longer. I also have bunch of friends including my sister who tested positive with not a single symptom, the whole thing is crazy.
Getting my 2nd shot on may 5th and will be happy to moving back towards normal
