The Lincoln project is a nest of snakes, losers all.
Yes, that was today… that’s what successful containment looks like.
The notion that North America is comparable to NZ in this regard is patently wrongheaded.

Well, he said the results of large clinical trials are needed, which are ongoing and on the verge of producing the results needed for emergency authorization. “Trials are still needed” makes it sound like they’ve yet to even begin.
Has anyone claimed that one isolated case was all that’s needed to prove effectiveness? I don’t think he said anything that everyone didn’t already know.
Brain Fog Plagues COVID Survivors
It’s becoming known as COVID brain fog: troubling cognitive symptoms that can include memory loss, confusion, difficulty focusing, dizziness and grasping for everyday words. Increasingly, COVID survivors say brain fog is impairing their ability to work and function normally.
“There are thousands of people who have that,” said Dr. Igor Koralnik, chief of neuro-infectious disease at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, who has already seen hundreds of survivors at a post-COVID clinic he leads. The effect on the workforce that is affected is going to be significant, he added.
Confusion, delirium and other types of altered mental function, called encephalopathy, have occurred during hospitalization for COVID-19 respiratory problems, and a study found such patients needed longer hospitalizations, had higher mortality rates and often couldn’t manage daily activities right after hospitalization.

About 75,000 more Americans died from COVID-19 pandemic than reported
"Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond found nearly 75,000 more people may have died from the pandemic than what was recorded in March to July, according to the report published Monday in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA
“There have been some conspiracy theories that the number of deaths from COVID-19 have been exaggerated,” said Dr. Steven Woolf, director emeritus of the Center on Society and Health at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. “The opposite is the case. We’re actually experiencing more death than we thought we were.”
a similar pattern in a previous study by researchers at Virginia Commonwealth and Yale universities that looked at excess deaths early in the pandemic, from March to April.
In that study, researchers found deaths from these other diseases spiked in states like New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, where coronavirus cases surged during the beginning of the pandemic. In June and July, Woolf said similar deaths spiked in Southern states that experienced a summer surge in coronavirus cases."
A 25-year-old was infected twice with the coronavirus earlier this year, scientists in Nevada have confirmed. It is the first confirmed case of so-called reinfection with the virus in the U.S. and the fifth confirmed reinfection case worldwide.
The cases underscore the importance of social distancing and wearing masks even if you were previously infected with the virus, and they raise questions about how the human immune system reacts to the virus.
This is the second confirmed case of coronavirus reinfection in which the patient was sicker the second time.

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.
Not only are you going to contract COVID-19 and die, you will actually do so twice, and die TWICE!!
So saith the Democrats and their American mainstream media toadies.
OK, so what about the very serious and ongoing resurgence of the virus in Germany, and in northern Germany particularly? Easy answer:
This is entirely Trump’s fault. Explanation to follow.
All right. And how about the new COVID-19 explosion in the UK, and in particular in northern regions thereof? What about that!
Ditto. Also clearly Trump’s fault at least until November third. Boris played no role whatsoever. It’s all on Trump. Why?
In both instances, and also in many other second wave incidents all around the world, Trump is to blame by definition.
In a world of billions, doesnt it stand to reason that a few will have a defective immune system? But no, 5 out of tens of millions is cause for renewed panic.
I was a little confused how they could claim that second infections are hard to confirm and most of the time go undiscovered, yet in the same breath claim a 10% reinfection rate? How can you possibly extrapolate 5 such cases into 10% of the population?
To go with the next article you posted, the supposed “attack on science” is simply made up, when the “science” being “attacked” is really just guessing that often is in fact eventually proven to be inaccurate.

"It’s also an opportunity to experience a health-care system with universal coverage. “I’m happy to be working in a system that provides world-class care,” he said
“We spend more in the U.S., and our outcomes aren’t better, so I’ve been watching how they do it.”
We’ve already passed Italy, too. Unfortunate that the hypothetical worst case scenario from earlier this year of it being as bad as it was in Italy has already been surmounted and we’re heading into another increase for the winter.
None of us would have guessed earlier this year that President Covid would have taken such an interest in killing as many Americans as possible with the Trump Virus.

Yup, that’s right. As long as you ignore the fact that all your Democrat governors vigorously rejected the notion that Trump had any authority to execute any plan of his own, while at the same time they (not Trump) were leading the massacres in nursing homes that account for half those Covid deaths.
If we’re the worst in the world, you are pointing your fingers in the wrong direction.

Nota bene the willingness, even eagerness, of Democrats to politicize the suffering and death of thousands of their fellow Americans in an aggressive and unbounded outreach for power. Truly, without any question, and beyond all doubt, loathsome Democrats are the lowest form of life on this planet. And they are not merely the lowest form of human life, for they are surely below any animal, even the most detestable and cringeworthy.

Our priority has become assigning blame, rather than achieving success.

Examining where we are, and how we got here is the only way to reasonably assess a path forward.
Definitely assinine that ignoring all science and intentionally spreading virus has become politicized by President Covid, and it clearly sets us back in the fight against the virus over the flu season.
You mean ignoring guesses that often prove to be less than fact anyways?
The only 2 candidates that might meet authorization by the end of the year:
Also relevant for anyone currently keeping their kids remote-learning (based on their own assessments and choices)… No trials yet have included under 18’s. So any vaccine for children would be later than any of the current discussion.
With a targeted efficacy of 50%, its unlikely even fall 2021 would change the school situation from where it is now (The kids could still spread between and then spread to relatives and/or develop the inflammation disorders themselves. Vulnerable relatives may not be anywhere near fully protected even if they themselves had a vaccine.). Maybe 2022 might be closer to the old normal if there’s not many anti-vaxxers?
Pfizer is planning to start enrolling age 12+ soon, though. (first one) Which is good news on progress.
