Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #91

[acutename]

and if, like me, this is your next Q:

The presence of ABO polymorphism is highly variable across all primates. Chimpanzees have been found thus far to have primarily type A blood, with type O less commonly. Gorillas appear to be exclusively type B. Orangutans express all three blood types.

Oh, this makes me so sad!

Me too!!! I have no idea how this virus affects gorillas- I remember when Lion contracted the virus at the zoo- at that time they said Lions do well and do not real sick from it: I hope the same applies to the gorillas!!

Kudos to them ... Johns Hopkins University. They have just hit one billion views on their covid website.
And an all-women team are the people there who gather, collate and maintain the data on this website - all the way from world level, down to US county level.

Those over 75 can’t even get it yet here.
I keep calling, doctor says they haven’t received the vaccine yet. What?!
People are going to the neighboring counties to try and get it. How are the elderly supposed to get it if they can’t drive? People can’t sit outside in a wheelchair in freezing cold weather for hours to wait in line.
You can’t speed up what you don’t have.
It’s a huge mess.

Why COVID-19 pneumonia lasts longer, causes more damage than typical pneumonia: COVID-19 pneumonia spreads like multiple wildfires, leaving destroyed lung tissue in its wake

[Instead of rapidly infecting large regions of the lung, the virus causing COVID-19 sets up shop in multiple small areas of the lung. It then hijacks the lungs' own immune cells and uses them to spread across the lung over a period of many days or even weeks, like multiple wildfires spreading across a forest. As the infection slowly moves across the lung, it leaves damage in its wake and continuously fuels the fever, low blood pressure and damage to the kidneys, brain, heart and other organs in patients with COVID-19.]

This evil-ness of this virus cannot be underestimated. Even Dr. Fauci said in all of his years in infectious disease he has never seen anything like this virus

I heard on some program the other day that hospitals have had to throw away vaccine that was just sitting around and got spoiled. I could not believe my ears. What is going on?

Alabama Fans Pack Streets After Crimson Tide Win, Ignoring COVID-19

A stunned Scott Van Pelt of ESPN, which broadcast the game, watched footage of the potential superspreader celebration and didn’t quite know what to make of it.

Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox had earlier admonished fans on Twitter against congregating in parties, Sports Illustrated noted, and warned “our hospital is stretched.”

Perhaps “admonishing” wasn’t the right word?
