COVID ... corona... the gift that keeps on giving - Canada's Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam says that - pandemic may persist for years to come ... - many of the restrictions aimed at managing the pandemic will likely need to remain in place for years, say Canada’s top doctors. - Dr. Howard Njoo, Tam's deputy, added it's important to "temper people’s expectations" that a vaccine will ensure everything will return to normal quickly. The World Health Organization says vaccines must be effective in at least 50 per cent of the population for any chance of approval, and closer to 70 per cent is better. Once a vaccine developer declares a vaccine is both safe and effective, nations can begin the work to approve its use on their citizens. Hear that peasants ? Top doctors never make medical mistakes. Why do they not need malpractice insurance? Because the legislator has granted them immunity from accountability and more importantly prosecution.

NUZ from the US Today: *Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” White House coronavirus task force coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx said it was “possible” the coronavirus death toll in America could reach 300,000 if people do not follow social distancing guidelines. *Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Trump administration’s Assistant Secretary for Health Adm. Brett Giroir said he would not recommend hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus. “So from a public health standpoint, at first hydroxychloroquine looked very promising and there were not the definitive studies, and at this point in time there are five placebo-controlled trials. At this point in time, we don’t recommend that as a treatment, and there’s no evidence to show that it is. On the other hand, we have Remdesivir and steroids, which reduces mortality by 30%. We still don’t know about immune plasma, and a vaccine looks promising. Right now, hydroxychloroquine, I can’t recommend that.” *Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) responded to reports she called President Donald Trump and coronavirus task force coordinator Deborah Birx “the worst,” ..... Host Martha Raddatz said, “Politico reported in a closed meeting on, you accused of Dr. Deborah Birx of spreading disinformation about the pandemic. Is that true, and do you have confidence in her?” Pelosi said, “I think the president is spreading disinformation about the virus and she’s his appointee. I don’t have confidence, no.”

Whether or not it is corona therapy. Let us remember that corona is a respiratory ailment. Corona patients can't breathe properly and need ventilators for respiratory assistance and they are gonna make them smoke Ganja? LOL There is no country in the world where cannabis and guns are both legally available for purchase, and in a country where guns are legal ... not only is it preposterous, it's a very dangerous combination!! They'll steal your pants!! Some of the politicians making these kinds of insinuations in support of legalization should first visit hospitals where they admit Ganja Smokers... specifically the pychiatric department. Try to get a hug from a ganja patient and tell us exactly what happened after getting discharged from the ER. Ganja is a Psychotropic Substance and Narcotic in any and all forms, unless of course they can isolate the useful components for topical application and use only. This is probably my first ever comment on the cannabis topic.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Friday defended the marijuana provisions in the Democrats' most recent round of coronavirus relief, rejecting suggestions that support for the cannabis industry is unrelated to the public health crisis sweeping the country. "I don't agree with you that cannabis is not related to this," Pelosi said during a press briefing in the Capitol. "This is a therapy that has proven successful."

"This is a unique situation where we as a company simply cannot take the risk if in ... four years the vaccine is showing side effects," said Ruud Dobber, a top exec at AstraZeneca. "In the contracts we have in place, we are asking for indemnification. For most countries, it is acceptable to take that risk on their shoulders because it is in their national interest," said Dobber, adding that Astra and regulators were making safety and tolerability a top priority.

Today's Corona chronicles. Bloomberg: The Trump administration will provide as much as $2.1 billion to Covid-19 vaccine partners Sanofi and GlaxoSmithKline Plc, the biggest U.S. investment yet in fast-tracking shots and snapping up supplies. Part of Operation Warp Speed, the funding will support clinical trials and manufacturing while allowing the U.S. to secure 100 million doses of the shot, if it’s successful, the companies said Friday. The country has an option to receive an additional 500 million doses longer term. __________________________________ HCL News: The founder of "America's Frontline Doctors" - Dr. Simone Gold - has been fired from her job as an Emergency Medicine Specialist in Los Angeles, CA.
