Good news in Orlando. Looks like they finally figured out that pesky water shortage problem.

I don't understand whatever flex you are trying to make here. There is really no room for sarcasm - as a direct result of Covid-19 patients, a hospital system was, from the article you linked,

only doing the most serious outpatient procedures and none that required an overnight stay.

Now, there is slight improvement (and/or the Covid-19 beds have been cleared because people died), and some services can be restored.

But officials say they continue to see significant numbers of COVID patients. They also say the Chief Medical Officer needs to sign off on any non-emergency outpatient procedures for now.

This is some sort of win? Hooray?!
 
Congrats, 9 months into having a vaccine available (and about 4-5 months into having it available to everyone), one hospital system is finally seeing enough of a downswing in cases that they can now go back to...doing things a hospital should normally be doing

No flex at all and certainly not a win. What's wrong with posting a news article on an Orlando hospital system now that the water shortage in Orlando has been solved?

Is this not permitted? Or are HILARIOUS horse pictures only allowed now on the Covid thread?

I think people don't understand your downplaying of a shortage of water as "pesky" in a first world country.

When most of what you post is babbling unfounded horseshit, it’s difficult to tell when you say something that isn’t COMPLETELY fucking idiotic. You have set the bar quite low.
 
The people in Orlando did not "finally figure out" the oxygen shortage problem (which led to calls to conserve water). They knew all along that they were running low on oxygen because there were too many fucking people in the ICU needing oxygen. Now, with some of those people dying, they can start resuming some normal operations of the hospital.

Brazilian viper venom may become tool in fight against COVID, study shows

This highly venomous snake could hold a key to fighting the virus that causes COVID-19.

"We're wary about people going out to hunt the jararacussu around Brazil, thinking they're going to save the world ... That's not it!" said Giuseppe Puorto, a herpetologist running the Butantan Institute's biological collection in Sao Paulo. "It's not the venom itself that will cure the coronavirus."


how long before the yahoos start getting themselves bit to cure covid-19?

RNA vaccines seem to produce very different antibody levels
Results raise questions about correlation between protection and antibody levels.

We've tended to treat the RNA-based vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech as functionally equivalent. They take an identical approach to producing immunity and have a very similar set of ingredients. Clinical trial data suggested they had very similar efficacy—both in the area of 95 percent.

So it was a bit of a surprise to have a paper released yesterday indicating that the two produce an antibody response that's easy to distinguish, with Moderna inducing antibody levels that were more than double those seen among people who received the Pfizer/BioNTech shot. While it's important not to infer too much from a single study, this one was large enough that the results are likely to be reliable. If so, the results serve as a caution that we might not want to base too many of our expectations on relatively crude measures of antibody levels.
