That’s all illnesses relating to covid. It’s apparently far from perfect but it’s enough to keep people out of a deep hole or hospital bed.

“Stripchat, a leading adult entertainment webcam platform has issued a statement offering to have its roster of webcam models test out the new anal swab method and help educate/lessen people’s concerns. The models can help normalize this new method and encourage people to get tested.

…It’s essential to inform as many people as possible about this alternative swab method. We want to ensure people are getting tested for coronavirus and receive their results ASAP, by any means necessary.”” Via aviewfromthewing

Yay 2021?

Wouldn’t dream of mocking it. Does occur to me that many will say “well, they’re used to being probed there” so it might not genuinely help.

Is this part of our new culture of taking advice from experts?

I don’t know that I’m particularly desperate, but I’d do it because 1) I hate waste, especially of something so important, and 2) I do want the vaccine sometime, if it’s going begging, why not now?

Alas, I lack personal transport, so I wouldn’t make a good chaser…

A local newspaper published an article saying that, at the end of the day, vaccines would be thrown out here as well.

As each vaccine vial contains 10 doses and often the target audience does not show up at the vaccination posts, then these surplus doses have to be discarded, as they cannot be stored once opened.

The authorities denied it.

So much winning!
I want this video on hand any and every time some politician debates that socialized medicine would ruin our health care “system.” As if it’s not broken right now.
I know these are relatively unprecedented times, but the fact that this is real in the wealthiest country ever is so, so shameful.
Also made me wonder how they can be sure to get the second shot…

And if they get the shot,would it be the right flavor? You cannot mix different vaccines.

I’m glad we have this in reserve. Too bad it’s not further on.

Anti-Covid serum made from the plasma of horses would be tested in humans.

study developed by the Instituto Vital Brazil in partnership with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation foresees two phases to assess the safety and effectiveness of the serum, which can be implemented in the second semester.
