Stop repeating conspiracy theories about the place of origin. Time and again all the scientific evidence has said there are no links to any secret China bio lab.

If China made a virus in a lab, I promise you that it would eliminate a far different demographic than the one this one has.

Common Asthma Drug Budesonide(Symbicort) Reduces Covid Urgent Care

The 28-day study of 146 patients suggested that inhaled budesonide reduced the risk of urgent care or hospitalization by 90% when compared with usual care, Oxford University said.
Initial data from the study also found volunteers treated with budesonide had a quicker resolution of fever and fewer persistent symptoms.

Ford Motor Co. has designed and created clear N95 face masks so that hearing impaired people can read lips while protecting themselves from COVID-19, the company announced Tuesday

Thank GOD!! I wear hearing aids but can’t with masks because the ear straps cause interference and distortion for me. while i cannot read lips I can get enough from them to figure out what someone is saying. since March it has been a major struggle.

I have a significant issue with separation of voice and background noise. The 1K band is a struggle for me. My hearing, even with damage from concerts, continues to test well above normal so my issue is an issue with brain processing... as a result I’ve leaned on reading lips and have been using it as a crutch for years. This mask thing has been very difficult on that front. With TV I can rely on subtitles to get by, humans? Its not like we’re subtitle enabled.

Good luck and I’m so looking forward to being able to ditch the masks again.

"It has been a miserable year for American nursing homes. More than 163,000 residents and employees of long-term care facilities have died from the coronavirus, about one-third of all virus deaths in the United States. Infections have swept through some 31,000 facilities and nearly all have had to shut down in some way."

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/12/...tion=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage

On a side note I lost an aunt who died in a nursing home(West Virginia) in mid December 2019. I keep hearing that the virus may have been already in the US in December of 2019 so I am suspicious of that death although she was elderly. My mother, fortunately has been at home being cared for by my brother and his girlfriend that may have worked in her favor for the pandemic and she'll get a vaccine in the coming month.My sister( Sacramento ,Cali) got her first shot this week.

I'm pissed.. north Jersey has a million sites doing vaccines. Pretty sure they don't even know the area around Princeton even exists. My county is averaging 100 vaccines a day for a county with 375,000 people. Most of the sites only serve residents of their county. A few folks have driven 2.5 hours to N Jersey for their vaccine and not happy they have to go back to same exact site for #2.
