Brazil is being ravaged by SARS2 COVID-19. The population is being reduced. Hi Peppy. Hope all is well. My following comments, I am not being confrontational. 1. How do we know Brazil is really being ravaged? My ex lived in Brazil and we have many friends still there. Not what we hear. 2. 5% of the population will test positive for Covid during "Non Pandemic Times". 3. Even if Covid is still bad in Brazil, people with Diabetes will still need Afrezza. 4. I work in a very large hospital outside of Chicago, for the last year very few Covid deaths. And the Deaths we have had,people had other comorbidities. Regarding item #1, I have a manufacturing plant in Brazil and it has not been a good scene. They peaked at nearly 5k deaths per day and still are experiencing 2,500/day. Vaccination rates are very low, they have a long road ahead |

I guess you don't know how to copy the link and paste it yourself? I don't want to join the link ... so I'm not doing it. Let Mikey do it.
Awww heck ... I'll do it.
But, that's mytakeonit
tic tic tic ... still waiting for my wine and $20 ...

Mango I could not agree with you more. I have worked in the medical field for over 26 years and people need to ignore what the paid TV ads say, ignore what their paid phone ads say and ignore what the paid radio ads say and do the real research for themselves. Take the time to read the research and go back 10 to 20 years on: what masks can and can not block, what the ivermectin studies say and what the hydroxychloroquine studies say. When you are done ask yourself when it comes to your health should you follow the Money or what Science says? It's sad that the conspiracy theorists are again suggesting that hydroxychoroquine works but that the media cabal is preventing us from learning the true story. In the end, solid science tells the story. Retrospective studies have no way of controlling for factors that could distort outcomes. www.factcheck.org/2021/07/scicheck-no-new-revelation-on-hydroxychloroquine-and-covid-19/The brain is an amazing and complex organ, but when emotions cloud judgment, it is unable to control what the mind conjures up and decides to believe. Humans are quite adept at finding evidence to support their conclusions, regardless of its source. It's important to get the sequence straight. It should start with evidence and end with conclusions, not vice-versa. |

You should do a Fact Check on who EXACTLY are the "Fact Checkers" are. Get back to us all on where it eminates from and who started it all.
We are all waiting.

The FactCheck.org article is interesting and they are careful to cite their sources and what was said albeit the choices they make in editing what they publish can color the message. And I don’t know if they make full information available, but on the face of it, they look OK. The article, however, makes little effort to question whether the FDA was making a good decision when they revoked the EUA for hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). HCQ appears to be a very safe drug. It had better be since doctors hand it out to so many lupus and RA patients (my neighbor being one). So was the revocation influenced by politics? I don’t know the answer, but I do believe politics influences “science” both during the pandemic and before. I’ll give you an example; global warming. What “science” has proven is the earth doesn’t stay the same constant temperature. “Climate stasis” is a myth. “Climate control” on a global scale may also be a myth. What “science” also seems to indicate is that polar ice caps, and glaciers, are not as common as their absence. So how does the “science” inform politics in this case? My opinion is politicians use global warming as a thinly veiled driver for their political agendas. And what I find disheartening is how easily voters are influenced to go along with hair-brained schemes to do something about it instead of focusing on effective long-term goals for addressing the supposed causes of (accelerated) global warming. I’m all about green, but it is very important to pay attention to what is causing the green-house gases, and I don’t mean cows. Electric vehicles? Where’s the juice coming from? Mostly oil, natural gas, and coal burning electric plants of course. Is there a net positive gain going “green” with electric vehicles? How could there be? Much of the electricity that is generated is lost in transmission. I read once where the CEO of Toyota said the reason they weren’t pushing electric was because the US grid was completely incapable of sustaining a mass market. Anyway, way off topic, so BD or Liane, feel free to delete this post..

I also find it disheartening how the average American will take the first source they hear something from as fact and not take the time to follow it 2, 3 and sometimes 4 levels higher up to find out who is really behind the misinformation. More often than not it usually leads to money or control or control of money and not for what is best for humanity.

Anyway, way off topic, so BD or Liane, feel free to delete this post.. As someone who has gone down the rabbit hole researching efficiencies (fuel cell, BEV, etc), you are just regurgitating FUD or the next line of defense, sloth (ie, "the grid can't support it, so we should ever try"). There are some states that have plenty of hydro/nuclear/solar/wind/etc. For example, NY has some very very low carbon electricity due to Niagara Falls and 3 nuclear power plants. Transmission losses, BEV charging losses are certainly there. But must be weighed against fuel transport and gasoline refining. |
