Interestingly, the requirement for the brain tickle as a prerequisite for the colon tickle is related to the facility where I’m having the procedure done on Friday. I was given a choice of four different facilities for the scoping but only two of them — the two most convenient by proximity — were the ones that required the brain tickle.

Meh... it was a nice drive this morning and a 10-minute wait. To be honest, I’ve stuck my finger further up my nose than they went with the swab. Wasn’t bad at all...

My 400,000 was for an end of Covid 19 pandemic into 2021. (with no help from the CDC and FDA) Milli's 225,000 is a good guess for the short time frame. Oct. 1.

Giving Taos a rare benefit of the doubt on this, we still likely won't be anywhere near 400,000 by Jan 1. I'd say we'll be at 300,000 or so, +/-10,000.

CDC report states that only 6% of people who died from COVID had no comorbidities. So, of the approximately 188,000 current deaths, less than 12,000 were from just COVID. In other words, if you do not have a serious medical condition, your chance of dying from COVID has been better than 1-in-27,500 since the outbreak.
