At this point for me , it’s like fuck those boomers… you guys had one job…stay the fuck at home and stay safe

i totally agree. it’s insane that our entire country is on a lockdown but these flights continue to happen.

Came across the following on a tech forum that I visit that puts a bit of perspective on the blood clot issues (even though I do not agree with a lot of the point of views in those discussions).

Covid 16.8% > Smoking 1.8% > Birth Control Pill 0.018% > AZ (or J&J) Vaccines 0.004%

what are the percentages representing?

i find it hard to believe smoking only causes blood clots in 1.8% of its victims…i have no medical qualifications or insight though.

Just tested positive. No symptoms.

Good luck, hope it stays that way :slight_smile:

Good news. I hope it stays that way for yourself and the people around you.

A vital part of the UK’s response (and contribution to the Global response) has been the work undertaken by its genomic sequencing network. This has been extraordinary.

In March [2020], Britain started what many American experts yearn for: a well-run national program to track mutations of the new coronavirus. The country invested 20 million pounds — roughly $27 million — to create a scientific consortium that enlisted hospitals across the country, giving them standard procedures for sending samples to dedicated labs that would sequence their viruses. Using cloud computing, experts analyzed the mutations and figured out where each lineage of the virus fit on an evolutionary tree.
“What the U.K. has done with sequencing is, to me, the moonshot of the pandemic,” said Emma Hodcroft, a molecular epidemiologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland who helped create Nextstrain, a Seattle-based project to track pathogens. “They decided they were going to do sequencing and they just stood up an absolutely incredible program from scratch.”

No figures for Sunday and Monday but for today. In those 3 days more than 700.000 including mine on Monday :smile:

Almost 800.000 for this week is the goal :scream:
