    To you..
    you're saying you don't believe zoonotic diseases are real?
    i was talking about covid, its origin..
    This has been explained to you tens of times on here. While the pandemic was killing people across the globe en masse - the consensus amongst most on here was that it did not matter one iota whether it was from a lab or from a wet market. In either case, the Chinese government was unlikely to admit anything, and if they did, what would it change? Clearly it ravaged China as well, so clearly they weren't able to curb the impact regardless. While you were focusing on 'where did it come from', reasonable people were focused on 'how can we stop it from killing people'. It's akin to trying to establish rules for the Hague before the Holocaust was over.

    Now you come on here like you're the only enlightened one who could see the truth from day one (not that your truth has been proven) - you don't seem to realize, people frankly did not care about its origin while they were watching neighbours become hospitalized or die. It's called priorities. What vindication are you seeking here? 
    topic of principles..if you don't understand, we have different values..
    ''where did it come from''..the issue is who knew about it and hide it and who funded the research..bingo!!..
    I have no opposition with you seeking it these days when crisis is no longer at hand. What I found frankly stupid, was when as I said, people were dying of CoVID on a regular basis, and you had this obsession over where it came from. If you want to be obsessed today, have at it. Maybe if your ilk shared statistical evidence or pursued having articles published, it would lend a bit more credibility to your unearned confidence. Seems to me there are two unproven theories, you just like to speak about one of them like it's proven but suppressed. Given that "suppression", it's impossible to disprove, but also impossible to prove. That's the territory that conspiracy theorists love to live in.
    As you said, people dying of this and it doesn't matter the origin??..don't think so..
    and what are you think is a conspiracy, its not..called common sense..

    CDC warns of increased dengue fever risk in U.S.
    By Lena H. Sun
    June 25, 2024 at 16:23 ET
    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned clinicians, health authorities and the public Tuesday about an increased risk for dengue virus infections in the United States because of the record-breaking global incidence of the mosquito-borne viral disease.
    In the first six months of 2024, countries in the Americas have reported more than 9.7 million dengue cases, twice as many as in all of 2023, exceeding the highest number ever recorded in a single year, the CDC said in a health advisory. Puerto Rico declared a public health emergency because of the unusually high number of cases reported in the winter and spring, the dry season, when dengue cases are typically low.
    Since January, 745 dengue cases have been identified among U.S. travelers who became infected abroad, the agency said. Dengue cases typically increase during the warmest months that are yet to come. Last year, there were 1,829 travel-associated cases in the United States.
    Dengue transmission typically peaks during the warmer and wetter months in many tropical and subtropical regions, and infectious-disease experts say cases are likely to increase as global temperatures rise. U.S. summer travel often overlaps with the months of increased dengue activity in many countries. Epidemics in the Americas raise the number of travel-associated cases as well as local transmission in the continental United States, the CDC said.
    There is no evidence of a dengue outbreak in the continental United States. “However, around the world, dengue cases have risen at an alarming rate, including in Puerto Rico, which is experiencing an increasing number of dengue cases,” the CDC said in a statement.
    Dengue is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito of the Aedes species. Travelers infected abroad can bring the virus back to their communities, where local mosquitoes bite them and transmit the disease to others. Most dengue infections are mild or asymptomatic, but severe cases can lead to internal bleeding, organ failure and death. Also known as “breakbone fever,” dengue can cause disabling high fevers, severe headaches and muscle and joint pain.
    There is no specific medicine to treat dengue. There are no vaccines for adults or people without a previous dengue infection. The only vaccine approved for use in the United States is for children 9 to 16 years old who have had a previous dengue infection and who live in frequent or continuous dengue transmission areas, such as Puerto Rico.
    With increased global and domestic incidence of dengue, the CDC is urging health-care providers to be on the lookout for dengue among people with fever who have been in areas with dengue transmission within 14 days of the start of illness. Infants, pregnant people, adults over 65 years old and people with certain medical conditions are at increased risk for severe dengue.

    Florida sees COVID-19 surge in emergency rooms, near past winter's peaks

    by Alexander Tin
    7/5/2024 · 5:42 PM EDT

    Rates of COVID-19 have surged in Florida emergency rooms over recent weeks, according to new figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and are now near peaks not seen since the worst days of this past winter's wave of the virus.

    The weekly average of emergency room patients with COVID-19 has reached 2.64% in Florida, according to CDC data updated Friday, and now rank among the highest of any state during this summer's COVID-19 wave.

    which booster?  this years? not sure its out yet but if it is they based it off of last years dominant varient here in the u.s.   this year is a newer varient. same family of virus omicron lineage but more evasive.

    Free Covid tests, treatments will return to help the country cope over fall and winter, US officials announce

    CNN  — 

    As much of the US continues to experience very high levels of Covid-19 activity, government officials announced on Friday the return of programs to offer free tests, vaccines and treatments to see the nation through the winter respiratory virus season.

    “The best plan going into this winter is for everyone to remain vigilant, to use the tools we have: vaccines, testing, treatment against the illnesses responsible for the majority of fall and winter deaths and hospitalizations,” Dr. Mandy Cohen, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Friday.

    Free Covid tests won’t be available right away but are coming back in time for fall and winter gatherings. Government-purchased supplies of the antiviral drug Paxlovid will also be available at no charge to people who are uninsured or who are on Medicare or Medicaid.

    So the vaccine booster is really slowing this down.
    The most recent booster, which is almost eleven months old and preceded the FLiRT variants that are driving the current surge, had a very low uptake rate in the United States. In my state of California, only 15 percent of people got the 2023 booster. If a greater percentage of Americans had obtained the booster, there would be a much lower rate of transmission, but a bunch of bad actors did a great job of demonizing this extremely safe and effective vaccine and, combined with Americans' low degree of scientific literacy, this was enough to make people think it wasn't worth it to get the booster (or, in some cases, the original shot).
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.
  • I think you also have to factor in how many people have been infected recently, and if they were, they are advised not to get another booster for up to 6 months post-infection. And then they might forget to get the booster once that time period passes.

    More like three months, but I think that only accounts for a small number of the abstainers.

    The three-months recommendation is per the CDC:

    People who recently had COVID-19

    • People who recently had COVID-19 may delay getting a COVID-19 vaccine for 3 months.
      • The risk of getting COVID-19 is less likely in the weeks to months following a SARS-CoV-2 infection.
        • Certain factors could be reasons to get a vaccine sooner rather than later, such as:

            You're both right. As a healthcare professional, I would weigh lots of of different things. 

            I'm pretty sure I had covid back in June (was traveling with no access to testing), recovered quickly. Last month, my wife tested positive and despite plenty of personal exposure, I obviously didn't get sick.

            I'll probably wait until Xmas/after the new year for the booster. Our students will be back from holiday vacation and if we'd have another spike, it'll be sometime between then and the summer I'd wager. My booster should cover until the then.

            Ymmv and always consult with your own physician.

            Reading this thread for first time….. now I fully understand the control that the government has on you. Taking multiple vaccines and boosters and still wanting more! 🐑🐑🐑

            It’s the flu….try living a healthy lifestyle, eating organic. Getting sick happens sometimes.

            For the poster seeking differences between those blue, high tax states and those red, low tax states, here’s a stat for you. Maybe they should live a healthier lifestyle?

            Mortality in the United States varies widely by state (1). This report compares average age-adjusted death rates by sex, race and ethnicity, and five leading causes of death between a group of five states with the highest age-adjusted death rates (Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and West Virginia) and a group of five states with the lowest age-adjusted death rates (California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Minnesota, and New York) in 2017 (2).
