Anyone we know…?
Anyone we know…?
Good news in Orlando. Looks like they finally figured out that pesky water shortage problem.
only doing the most serious outpatient procedures and none that required an overnight stay.
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.
I don't understand whatever flex you are trying to make here.
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?
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.
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.
School board meetings continue to be straight gold.
