Re: [FRIAM] Medical treatments for some or for all

Who knew? The Regeneron antibody treatments for Covid-19 are available and approved as a treatment or for prophylaxis. It also sounds like they're free. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/covid-monoclonal-abbott/2021/08/19/a39a0b5e-0029-11ec-a664-4f6de3e17ff0_story.html -- rec -- On Fri, A

Very good material to work though, Glen, thank you, I remember reading Walden for the first time when I was somewhat young, but not super-young, and thinking “Thoreau, you’re an idiot (or better said, a loudmouth)”. Walk into town to buy a new axe-head every time the material on your old one is

Thanks Steve, I hadn’t heard about this latest little bit of lunacy. Marcus is right; what must the guy’s life be like that, to very likely end up in jail for not really anything seemed like a good idea? Martin Scheffer ought to be all over this, with his “early warning signals”, using analys

Re: [FRIAM] Medical treatments for some or for all

So Marcus, Your response is interesting. What I was thinking of as the inflammation was BLM, or the fact that the Georgia organizers were able to get enough voters out to get all three of Biden, Warnock, and Ossof into office, which even with their same heroic efforts over years I don’t think

Re: [FRIAM] Medical treatments for some or for all

There is an angle on this that I have wondered about. In a sort of short-term sense, it would have been very gratifying for SARS-CoV-2 to have killed trump. You know that tired trope: God is dead — Nietzche Nietzsche is dead — God Same idea. But as I think of it, I think that

The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has tested positive for the virus, although he is fully vaccinated. He has no symptoms but receives the same $100,000 Regeneron treatment as Donald Trump, maybe because he sits in a wheelchair and belongs to a risk group. Is it right that famous politicians ar
