COVID-19: Chapter 10 - Mission Achomlished!

[Huehuecoyotl]

10 minutes ago, my kid’s pre k teacher (he’s in kinder now) came by to pick up some stuff but didn’t want to come in because she was afraid she had covid. She couldn’t get an appointment for test but we had an extra one. Sure enough she was positive.

Beware the people saying with or for covid:

That is 100% for covid, not with.

It seems like the only symptom the general public is aware of is fever since it’s the only thing businesses bother to check to screen people.

I tweeted that at Nate. Not that is will do any good but I feel better.

78=80 certainly within any limit of certainty.

Sent this article to my friend, and her response was, “I kind of want all these nut bars to drink their own pee for a while.”

How do we spread the word that contact with glass, plastic, metal, or other surfaces inactivates the covid-protection properties of urine, so straight from the source is the only effective way?

Biden-Harris Administration Requires Insurance Companies and Group Health...

As part of its ongoing efforts across many channels to expand Americans’ access to free testing, the Biden-Harris Administration is requiring insurance companies and group health plans to cover the cost of over-the-counter, at-home COVID-19 tests, so people with private health coverage can get them for free starting January 15th. The new coverage requirement means that most consumers with private health coverage can go online or to a pharmacy or store, buy a test, and either get it paid for up front by their health plan, or get reimbursed for the cost by submitting a claim to their plan. This requirement incentivizes insurers to cover these costs up front and ensures individuals do not need an order from their health care provider to access these tests for free.

Beginning January 15, 2022, individuals with private health insurance coverage or covered by a group health plan who purchase an over-the-counter COVID-19 diagnostic test authorized, cleared, or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be able to have those test costs covered by their plan or insurance. Insurance companies and health plans are required to cover 8 free over-the-counter at-home tests per covered individual per month. That means a family of four, all on the same plan, would be able to get up to 32 of these tests covered by their health plan per month. There is no limit on the number of tests, including at-home tests, that are covered if ordered or administered by a health care provider following an individualized clinical assessment, including for those who may need them due to underlying medical conditions.

I didn’t read everything but it doesn’t seem like there’s a way to get reimbursed for tests bought before this coming Saturday but it also doesn’t seem like there’s a shitload of paperwork to deal with and there’s also this

As part of the requirement, the Administration is incentivizing insurers and group health plans to set up programs that allow people to get the over-the-counter tests directly through preferred pharmacies, retailers or other entities with no out-of-pocket costs.

You know what country is really dangerous? The freakin USA.

Hypothetically getting on a plane for Germany in 2 weeks.

China’s zero Covid policy makes no sense post vaccines. Covid is going to last 50 years over there.

Yes, it’s this exactly. China was a model of how to handle this in a pre-vaccine world. They saved millions of their citizen’s lives. For all their faults the should be lauded for what they did.

However, they are definitely not a model of how to handle this in a post-vaccine world.

From my brother. I’m going to break out the guillotine for my own sister.

Fact Check-Hydroxychloroquine cannot be made at home using fruit peel

How to make natural hydroxychloroquine naturally with ease,” the title of the video reads.

The video encourages viewers to boil grapefruit and lemon peel in water for several hours. After cooling and draining the ingredients, the juice is poured into jars.

The individual filming the content tells users to have “two tablespoons” of the juice per day.

In fairness. That’s probably one of the least harmful of these things.

Roman could crush on this if they can get in

I was way, way, way more afraid of what homemade HCQ was going to be than this.

Drano (hydroxy) + bleach (chloro) + tonic water (quinine) maybe?

China number 1 , would still take their policy over the lol United States. Pure cope to think otherwise. We’re still getting hundreds of thousands of people killed over here
