[this concerns the mismatch that took place recently in D.C. between senator Rand Paul and Doctor Anthony Fauci. See  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqUOcVwRUtc ] To a disinterested party, Dr. Fauci came out ahead but they may not know the backstory. For instance, both men have MD's but one practiced medicine while the other went right to work for government and ended up knowing more virology than medicine* The Senator not only is not up on virology but he does not have the argumentative skills found in most members of the Senate who tend to be lawyers; and, this was evident in his questioning of Dr. F. When Dr. F. said "you don't know what you're talking about." The good Senator should have demanded to know more: "Oh, how so?" The doctor-turned-virologist had the glib responses of a sociopath. Let's see what I mean. Anthony Fauci says to the Senator, " you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly. And I want to say that officially...

The coronavirus immunologically is essentially all about the spike protein. However that antigenic site sits atop a "stem" which is longer than that of the original coronavirus. This stem is probably where all the variants arise. Let me explain. As we've said, the spike protein is the site that's recognized by the immune system and variations of it are unlikely to produce successful variants because the spike protein is already very adept at latching onto our Ace-2 receptors--any changes would probably degrade this ability rather than enhance it. [the caveat here is "any natural changes," but when manmade, all bets are off. More on this later]. So, what is the source of the variants such that the impact on immunological surveillance is significant while still allowing for Ace-2 receptor binding? What role does the stem play in all this? In previous posts, I've pointed out how that elongated stem results in a lower density which allows the virus to remain...

#1 Keep your mask clean and be careful to keep the outside of the mask outside if your mask is reversible. On today's The View, Whoopi was quick to condemn a Texan congressman who said he could have gotten his infection from wearing a mask. Even if  you don't wear the mask inside-out, you can still breathe in virus by handling the mask incorrectly. I know of no substance that will bind with those spikes on the virus and never let go. Be safe; clean your mask if washable or use a new one everyday if you can afford it OR get yourself a UV disinfecting light that you can use to keep your mask free of viable virus with the added benefit that you might just vaccinate yourself with the, now, inactivated virus. You've heard that being in an enclosed space is particularly dangerous but if that space is heavily air-conditioned, you incur additional risk because the virus was made to float better in dense cold air. Is it little wonder that we in the U.S. have such high numbers when y...

My wife loved Fauci even after I informed her that he was the one who pushed for gain-of-function studies stopped by Obama and reinstated by Trump.   Apparently, my wife is not alone but who can blame her or the countless idolaters of the Media who revere Dr. Fauci. People side with Tony because he seems to speak truth to power especially when he contradicts the President during the White House press meetings. I, on the other hand, wouldn't give two shits for this Frankenstein of a doctor who funds gain-of-function studies whose very purpose is to create a monster--but a monster who would befriend no one--I'm referring to Shelly's Frankenstein monster who is befriended by a blind child who can't see his hideousness (Hollywood version). However, most everyone on Earth can see Dr. Fauci's monster in all its grotesque manifestations. Unfortunately, they continue to idolize the wretched muse that played us a siren's call. No one on Earth--except me and others capabl...

We know the gaslighter who, thankfully, only affects the MAGA base. The MAGA are just as smart as anyone else so one has to say that they willingly allow themselves to be gaslighted. There's nothing that can be done. The person afflicted with Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy is none other than our esteemed Dr. Anthony Fauci. I remember reacting incredulously when the news reported that Tony was receiving death threats. I couldn't make heads or tails out of it until my Son and I started discussing the provenance of the Novel Coronavirus. The origin fell at the good doctor's doorstep. https://www.newsweek.com/dr-fauci-backed-controversial-wuhan-lab-millions-us-dollars-risky-coronavirus-research-1500741 When you have the gaslighter confusing the heck out of everything and when you add Mr. Bannon to the mix, you soon realize that the "gain-of-function" work promoted by Dr. Fauci was his way of becoming a hero to the U.S.--if not the world--by unleashing a monster wh...

I'd issue my officers a gold square pin to wear but only after having obtained 5 years without a complaint. You get another one 5 years later..., and so on. If you were to get a complaint, that year does not count towards your total. An inability to get a square every 10 years is means for dismissal. Cops who just started can be given a smaller square for each year they remain complaint-free and five are replaced with a regular size square. The public is only allowed two complaints per person per year; and teenagers are permitted to file w/o parental consent. The square makes us focus on proper policing practices. A cop who is slow to obtain a square or receives a complaint right out of the gate, means that he should be observed more closely and body cams are reviewed even if there is no problem reported. If you were never to get a complaint and were of age to do so, you would be next in line to be chief of police (assuming you've shown leadership skills and were respected b...

In considering the numbers associated with Coronavirus infections across the globe, it occured to me that perhaps it was the humidity in Africa and S. America that held the virus in relative check. I then had to consider temperature--why does the virus prefer colder environs. This blog hopes to make sense of the two physical parameters. First, consider a tiny, etsy, bitsy virus released into the air. It is smaller than most particles in the air. All airborne particles undergo Brownian motion and the motion is directly dependent on temperature--the higher the temperature, the more motion. Picture now the crown on the coronavirus. Can it not be seen that those stalks might be subject to breakage when crashing against those other bigger particles? That, I believe, is the main reason for the virus preferring cold--it, and other microscopic objects in the air, don't vibrate as much. (CDC should investigate efficacy of IR radiation) The humidity angle was a quick attempt to explain E...

Hospital ventilators can easily support two patients. Some of these machines are tailored to the patient's needs but with so many patients needing them, I would think you can find two patients needing similar settings. If worse comes to worst, you can employ an average setting. This would fix the shortage problem we now have but what if you could hook up 4 or more patients to the same machine? I suspect the only reason this hasn't been done yet is that doctors and hospitals are spoiled with--up to now--unlimited funds and every patient had his own machine. Time to think outside the box. Dr. Anthony Fauci Governor Andrew Cuomo Dr. Sanjay Gupta CNN Kate Bolduan, whose father is an MD. This probably does not apply to invasive ventilation being that these machines need to be tailored to the particular patient but these are not the firsts line of defense when it comes to respiratory problems. Other thoughts: what about CPAP machines now being used in homes. Can we find...

He's verbose but after listening to him, you are left with many fewer unanswered questions and you feel a little better about humanity and it's governments. Too bad he can't be on the national stage. I applaud his order to have healthcare workers tested ASAP for antibody titres. This would save enormously on PPE's because those who test positive for antibodies to covid-19 can treat patients without extensive PPE. Governor, this relates to your concern over the lack of social distancing you've observed in the youth: There is a message which is not being promulgated to the youth. In a previous post, I told how the virus infects and how it damages ALL lungs. Here it is in a nutshell: the virus attaches to ACE-2 receptors in the lung. Both virus and ACE-2 receptors get sucked into the cell. Because you've lowered the ACE-2 receptors on the cell surface, events are set in motion that result in less lung surfactant and greater lung fibrosis. Lung surfactant can retu...

Just watched a great video by Dr. Ogan Gurel on how Covid-19 attaches and wreaks havoc on our respiratory system. If you are on Ace inhibitors for Blood Pressure and are considered susceptible to a coronavirus infection, you and your doctor should weigh the risks of continued therapy with an Ace inhibitor. https://youtu.be/PfG-q5opkYs In the event you don't want to watch the video, here's the summary: many tissues of the body have a cell receptor known as Ace-2; although it is found in numerous tissues, it is their presence along the respiratory tract that concerns us here. The receptor targeted by the high blood pressure meds is an Ace-1 but taking an Ace-1 inhibitor has the unfortunate effect of increasing Ace-2 levels. Increased Ace-2 levels would not be a problem if it were not for the fact that Covid-19 attaches to the Ace-2 and drags it along as it uses it to gain access to a cell's interior where the DNA is; and that would not be too much of a problem if ...

The purpose of the nose and sinuses are to filter the air before it reaches the lungs; if it didn't do this, the lungs would soon be overwhelmed by debris--it's much better to collect all particles and either send them on their way to your stomach where acids would digest, or expel them via a glob of mucus. Therefore, breathe in  only through your nose--never your mouth, because when you breathe in through your mouth, those viral particles get an express trip to your lungs. Furthermore, you should breathe out through your mouth because, that way, a particle which happens to be floating around in your airwaves won't end up sticking to your upper respiratory tract on the reverse trip. As to running, I wouldn't do anything that would increase my respiratory rate--this should be obvious to everyone. Of course, if you are wearing a mask, this is not that important but I'd do it anyway. I heard Mr. Trump say that chloroquine was being considered as treatment. I thi...

What if Seniors get pneumonia because they are mouth-breathers and the virus goes directly to the lungs instead of getting filtered by the nose/sinuses. You still end up with a head cold but maybe by then an adequate immune response has mounted. I got this idea yesterday by seeing the CEO's standing behind Mr. Trump--they were all tight-lipped, not talking or even licking their lips--as if they were told not to breathe through their mouths. I think Mr. Trump will test positive, btw. During one clip, he was looking peaked and speaking hoarsely.

Bernie Sanders gave an empathic speech that was truly presidential. Joe Biden gave a speech no better than Trump's in terms of empathy. There was no substance in Biden's speech; whereas, Bernie went right to all the specifics that will get us out of our present crisis. Sure, Bernie touched upon his signature policy but under a Biden administration, you'd get pretty much what we're getting now under Obamacare. Will he offer an exception, saying that IF a pandemic were to be declared, you'd get free healthcare? Under BernieCare, you may not even need that because citizens would be getting healthcare throughout their lives and they'd be advised to take, i.e., prophylactic Vitamin D which is essential for our immunity. There would be no need for a bureaucracy to declare a pandemic--we'd go to the doctor at the first sign of a viral infection. I saw empathy in Bernie Sander's response; I saw an orchestrated angry response in Biden's. Uncle Joe would h...

He was talking to one member of the bobbsey twins this morning about how Congress is better off with a younger crew. I guess he's in favor of term limits for himself and the other snot noses he helped elect. If he's not a hypocrite, I expect a term-limits bill soon--written by Mr. Moulton. He favors youth so he doesn't start farting inadvertently when he reaches median age--kind of like Swalwell will do more of--the older he gets. But hey, just get the Corporate News Network (CNN) to stop covering the coronavirus and let it kill all the unsuspecting seniors both in Massachusetts and Congress. He, of course, took to the "unfairways" to say how Biden was his man and that he can live with ear hairs as long as they were still able to hear his message. But listen to why Mr. Moulton favors Biden. It seems that Biden went out of his way to help Moulton win his congressional seat. I wonder if the quid pro quo that so envelopes everything in Congress was lost on the juni...

What? A godsend and the Dow is down? Yes, because no money can be made unless stocks are sold --until they are corrected downward as much as possible. Then, the brokers will start buying low, they'll watch the stock prices go up again, and then they'll wait for the next catastrophe and then sell high and make themselves another shitload of money. No one in the country who intends to vote for the capitalist firm of Biden, Buttigieg, Bloomberg and Klobuchar understand the slightest iota of how the market works and how it's manipulated for the rich. SOUTH CAROLINA, vote for Bernie; he'll stop the nonsense. The brokers are happy about the coming of the pandemic because it's an opportunity to make money. They were looking forward to a war but Trump promised his supporters to stay out of wars and they needed something else. BTW, is anyone aware of how important it is to have BernieCare in this age of pandemics? The more people are without coverage, the more the vi...
