Healthy adults not dying, but the elderly and immune compromised are.
Sobering stats and a huge study from the VA on why healthy adults want to avoid long COVID -- and how long COVID may be more common than you think.
Paxlovid -- Not only reduces complications and death, but according to one study reduces risk of long COVID by 26% over a six month period.
On masks: "If you gave the average healthy adult in America a button they could push once per day that would miraculously save the life of a random terminal patient they don't know, I figure like 60% of people wouldn't even bother to push the button on the way out the door to work each morning."
Study: Why You Should Avoid COVID Even if You're "Healthy"

"Of 67,000 mortgages insured by the VA in the New York and northern New Jersey suburbs that year, fewer than 100 went to nonwhites. Nationally, by 1950, white veterans had received nearly 98 percent of the VA-guaranteed loans."

Bangert describes the delicate location, "on an artificially constructed hill out on the old airfield in the middle of an earthquake liquefaction zone."

60 followers · 48 posts · Server meh.socialA new bill introduced in Congress (HR 214) would allow veterans with service-connected disabilities and their dependents access to the Tricare health insurance/network - the same used by active duty military & retirees. This would give vets a real choice when it comes to their healthcare. Currently, vets use the VA and dependents have nothing.

(1) Bet you can’t guess who sent me the form. #veterans #va #VeteransAffairs (2) this is about a claim filed nine years ago, (3) the VA is a weak-ass, wannabe, discount version of a Terry Gilliam-esque bureaucracy.
