hokuili - It almost sounds like Covid19 is triggering a response similar to APS (Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome)
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-cond...c-20355831
In looking into APS or Critical APS (CAPS) most of the treatment summary articles mention: "there is clinical evidence of a cytokine cascade/systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in many CAPS patients."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4958413/
We know that cytokine storms are part of the possible covid effects, so that appears to possibly line up. The article mentions using both anticoagulants and immunosuppressives, which hopefully would be part of the covid treatments given the clotting symptoms and known cytokine storm effects.
Anyhow, this article and others like it might make good metaphorical beach reading during the virtual vacation within the mandated staycation

kander - I end up watching cspan a lot anymore, things go pretty fast and life is too short to be informed with 10 second sound bytes.
C-Span does have an interesting angle on these conferences.

Note the dawning WTF horror unfold as the sound bytes wash over her...

Ironyak "internally screaming" was my takeaway from that. The question remains is who has been planning on testing this injection of UV? and what is this talk of disinfectant "inside the lungs does an incredible job"
Captain orange puppets what he has been told as he's asking for verification from the "team" when he talks about this stuff. I suppose people are looking for reassurances that they are doing something but this out of the box thinking seems to be not what the covid team should be doing.
Dr Mengela should not be doing bleach testing on subjects.

I doubt anyone on “the team” would have suggested anything remotely like his comments. It’s most likely a combination of poor listening and even worse comprehension.
Poor Dr. Birx.
She looks like she’s desperately locating all the available exits, then determined none are available without someone noticing. Sadly, she’s trapped.

Here On The Primal Edge, you hit the nail on the head again! Thank you for saying things that I'm too chicken to say. Dr. Birx sometimes looks like a trapped deer in the headlights. And clowns, especially orange ones, belong in the circus.

More blood-system related injuries and deaths caused by covid (or "doom porn" as the dismissive are calling it)

"Young and middle-aged people, barely sick with covid-19, are dying of strokes
Doctors sound alarm about patients in their 30s and 40s left debilitated or dead. Some didn’t even know they were infected."
https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...226422.php
"The Santa Clara woman whose death from COVID-19 is the earliest so far known in the United States suffered a massive heart attack caused by coronavirus infection, signs of which were found throughout her body, according to an autopsy report obtained exclusively by The Chronicle.
...
“There’s something abnormal about the fact that a perfectly normal heart has burst open,” said Bay Area forensic pathologist Judy Melinek, who was not involved in the autopsy but read the report at the request of The Chronicle. “The heart has ruptured. Normal hearts don’t rupture.”
“This heart ruptured or tore open because of an infection of the heart muscle caused by the coronavirus,” Melinek said."

Tomorrow it will be one year since this thread was posted.
If someone had at that time predicted the US would exceed 400,000 deaths from COVID by January 20, 2021, that America with 4% of the world’s population would have 20% of the deaths from the corona virus, I would have thought they were off their rocker. Even in my wildest dreams I couldn’t have imagined such a colossal failure, that we’d respond to the crisis with utter ineptitude and incompetence.
