    Still is a shocker to see him leave me on the street like this. I'd a bet my last dollar he'd never do it. We've been thru all the Lakers together, held each other's hand in the trough of the terrible times, me giving him the Dutch uncle so he wouldn't get too low.

    You'll grow old, gray and you will die before that ever happens, Med.

    ---------

    & Kobe never repented. He died, that's it & that's all. All these phony suckers who wouldn't give him the time of day before---then crawled out of the wood work and cried us a river. Kobe was poison to the moment when that helicopter augered in and Media cleared their centralized (world wide) angle 30 minutes later.

    As always I'll take this moment to the grave: 13 down 3rd quarter in '10. Out of the TO Fisher took him by nap of the nap:::"Stop whining!!! Go down into the paint and go to work. Now, Kobe, NOW!"

    What'd he do? Obeyed Fisher to-the-letter. Late 4th quarter as it came into sharp focus, he dropped the game face and jail breaked for the finish line, that GD Rondo in a mirror image.

    Me? I hit the eject lever on the Lazy Boy and stood sentinel.

    This is a no brainer.
    The Philippines have a big piece of economy to lose if China regulates international water in that region.
    If this is all it takes, yes for both countries.

    NBA referees and many members of team personnel will have to be vaccinated for COVID-19 during the 2021-22 NBA season, but that won't be the case for the players. NBA players are not expected to be subject to vaccine mandates, according to Baxter Holmes and Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

    The league and the players union — the NBPA — are reportedly still in talks regarding COVID-19 protocols for the season, but the NBPA is not willing to entertain the idea of a vaccine mandate for players. A mandate is a "non-starter," according to ESPN.

    vaccines for power poltics?

    I can see the utility, but I'm not so crazy about that.

    the better we all are the better all are and will be. protecting people against COVID without qualification and limitation seems the more urgent need to me.

    He will not want to admit that even to himself.

    He isn't a complete idiot. I think therefore he recognizes on some level the complete idiots like Qhris and Spurtacular are complete idiots.

    Where he fails is thinking about what that means.

    If your entire worldview includes a large population of morons like that, and that does not cause you to re-think things or suspect you might have made some mistakes when it comes to thinking about reality, you are deluding yourself at some level.

    don't bogart that joint, my friend


    President Joe Biden has sharply criticized DeSantis and others for resisting efforts to encourage mask wearing and ramp up vaccinations, vowing in a speech last week that if “governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my power as president to get them out of the way.”


    Still, until recently, the administration had shipped the antibody treatments to states on an as-needed basis — with top health officials in early August going as far as encouraging those battling the Delta surge to seek even more supply.


    But demand from a handful of southern states has exploded since then, state and federal officials said, raising concerns they were consuming a disproportionate amount of the national supply. Seven states — Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana and Alabama — accounted for 70 percent of all orders in early September.


    The imbalance prompted an effort to rein in control of supplies, over concerns that the government wouldn’t have enough on hand to respond to Covid-19 surges elsewhere in the country.


    Earlier this month, HHS officials told states that they would more closely scrutinize how much of the treatments were actually being used — but that the department was not going to throttle states’ supply.

    There are some obvious political problems that cannot be controlled. Apparently this has something to do with not letting unvaccinated leave their homes in the Philippines. This is a clear violation of their cons ution and was apparently causing problems related to our sending vaccines. I dont know which admin. this happened under but apparently it got rectified. There are always the possibilities of diplomatic problems being overcome. But its a bit deeper than us just deciding they get zero help from us. Without qualification... In the long run it helps all of us. But there is giant diplomatic inertia in our country. If they were holding hostages and were using that to force us to give the vaccine we might not. (Obviously this is not the case but it gets very convoluted when dealing with policy in place) But the for tat might be deeper than just "let us help you" because China.

    Third COVID shot boosts immunity tenfold - Israeli study now peer-reviewed

    The rate of confirmed infections and of severe cases of COVID-19 was

    more than 10 times lower among people

    who received the booster compared to people who did not.


    https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wel...eviewed-679591

    "10 times" is a ass backwards confusing expression

    1/10 the rate of infections and severe cases of unvaccinated.

    Antibodies From Original Strain COVID-19 Infection Don’t Bind To Variants



    People infected with the original strain of the virus that causes COVID-19 produced a consistent antibody response. However, those antibodies don’t bind well to new variants, Illinois graduate student Timothy Tan (left) and professor Nicholas Wu found.

    People infected with the original strain of the virus that causes COVID-19 early in the pandemic produced a consistent antibody response, making two main groups of antibodies to bind to the e protein on the virus’s outer surface.

    However, those antibodies don’t bind well to newer variants,

    “Even though this antibody response is very common with the original strain, it doesn’t really interact with variants,” Wu said.

    “That, of course, raises the concern of the virus evolving to escape the body’s main antibody response.

    Some antibodies should still be effective – the body makes antibodies to many parts of the virus, not only the e protein – but the particular groups of antibodies that we saw in this study will not be as effective.”
