    Not caving to Republicans is called stalling.

    this is a preprint

    To determine the effect of COVID-19 convalescent plasma on mortality, we aggregated patient outcome data from randomized clinical trials, matched control, and case-series studies. Fixed-effects analyses demontrated that hospitalized COVID-19 patients transfused with convalescent plasma exhibited a ã57% reduction in mortality rate (13%) compared to matched-patients receiving standard treatments (25%; OR: 0.43, P < 0.001). These data provide evidence favouring the efficacy of human convalescent plasma as a therapeutic agent in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

    "It's impossible to make progress when the only position on the table is, 'Pass Speaker Pelosi's bill or nothing.'"

    Senator John Kennedy blamed Democrats for the lack of progress on a new coronavirus stimulus bill during an interview on "The Story." The senator also said Republicans will unveil another bill on Wednesday that would extend unemployment compensation benefits. https://fxn.ws/31eT2Ni

    "It's impossible to make progress when the only position on the table is, 'It's got to be approved by Mitch.'"

    i
    Cmon ducks, this is way too easy.
    Do better if you quote Fox.

    Again the red team has no concept of hypocrisy.
    The basic idea "I can do this but you can't" is much easier.

    this is the weird situation where Mitch has only about half of the caucus in his pocket. if the Dems don't flex now they may not get another such chance.

    in b4 hamsters and chickens, this is what hypothesizing looks like

    Abstract

    Although the benefit of population-level public facial masking to protect others during the COVID-19 pandemic has received a great deal of attention, we discuss for one of the first times the hypothesis that universal masking reduces the “inoculum” or dose of the virus for the mask-wearer, leading to more mild and asymptomatic infection manifestations.

    From the abstract:

    "Asymptomatic infections may be harmful for spread but could actually be beneficial if they lead to higher rates of exposure. Exposing society to SARS-CoV-2 without the unacceptable consequences of severe illness with public masking could lead to greater community-level immunity and slower spread as we await a vaccine."

    Totally agree

    Treating the Search for a Covid Vaccine Like an Arms Race Endangers Us All

    Vaccine research should not be a national security secret.

    Looks like we're going to find out pretty quickly if the Oxford vaccine is effective, as they're gathering volunteers to be deliberately infected with SARSCov-2 after getting the vaccine candidate.

    I'll only get it if it comes with a microchip, tbh

    America’s obesity epidemic threatens effectiveness of any COVID vaccine

    Scientists know that vaccines

    engineered to protect the public from influenza, hepa is B, tetanus and rabies

    can be less effective in obese adults than in the general population,

    leaving them more vulnerable to infection and illness.


    There is little reason to believe, obesity researchers say, that COVID-19 vaccines will be any different.

    "AeroNabs" uses nanobodies to interfere with the e protein

    To find effective candidates, the scientists parsed a recently developed library in Manglik’s lab of over 2 billion synthetic nanobodies. After successive rounds of testing, during which they imposed increasingly stringent criteria to eliminate weak or ineffective candidates, the scientists ended up with 21 nanobodies that prevented a modified form of e from interacting with ACE2.

    Further experiments, including the use of cryo-electron microscopy to visualize the nanobody- e interface, showed that the most potent nanobodies blocked e-ACE2 interactions by strongly attaching themselves directly to the e RBDs. These nanobodies function a bit like a sheath that covers the RBD “key” and prevents it from being inserted into an ACE2 “lock.”
    In a final set of experiments, the researchers put the three-part nanobodies through a series of stress tests, subjecting them to high temperatures, turning them into a shelf-stable powder, and making an aerosol. Each of these processes is highly damaging to most proteins, but the scientists confirmed that, thanks to the inherent stability of nanobodies, there was no loss of antiviral potency in the aerosolized form, suggesting that AeroNabs are a potent SARS-CoV-2 antiviral that could be practical to administer via a shelf-stable inhaler or nasal spray.

    Sounds too good to be true. The article reads somewhat like a press release, fingers crossed,.

    I always expected bio-nano-tech would offer solutions to all kinds of human diseases.

    But how can they be sure the nano-bodies for C19 es don't lock into someplace else, like cross blood-brain barrier, hormonal disruption?

    And what about dosage?
