Excellent! You can tell me how it goes.

On p. 8 of the FDA document linked in this article, we have the basis of the 95% efficacy number the media is parroting/hyping. That's 1 minus the ratio of rate of infection in vaccinated vs unvaccinated, in case you're wondering. I'm guessing they did 1:1 placebo vs non-placebo, so that's 22K in each group for the first trial. Vaccinated experienced 8 cases, placebo experienced 162. That's a 0.04% rate in the vaccinated group vs 0.74% unvaccinated. So 1 minus the division of two tiny numbers gives you the magical 95% efficacy rate. Of course the real story here is that the risk in the placebo group is extremely small to begin with. So remind me again: why are they rushing out an untested vaccine like this (apart from the fact that a large part of the country has lost their minds)?
Because we are running out of toilet paper and coinage? Good spot, John

I'm still worried about if these drug companies are in too fast a hurry fast tracking these new "miracle" vaccines & whatever political agenda there may be behind it.
Of course, I would love to see an end to this pandemic, but I'm also cautious or feeling trepidation, whatever the right word is...
Trepidation is a good word, Paul. All the fast tracking would be is an elimination of the politics or bureaucracy. Yes, they have that in the Food/Drug Agency very much. It doesn't mean the safety measures were cut. But my concern is what are the ingredients I would be putting in my body? Aluminum? What's in the vaccine?
What foreign agents in the vaccine kill another foreign agent (which is the virus)?

NY Governor Andrew Cuomo gave a breakdown of how the initial vaccine from Pfizer, a NY company, will be distributed. In NY, 170,000 doses will go to Nursing Homes and staff to start. 21 days later the 2nd batch of 170,000 goes to the same as a 2nd shot is needed. About 205,000 will cover all nursing homes and staff. BUT, its not known how many will refuse the vaccine and what will be done with the doses that are left because of this. Studies have indicated as many as 20 % could refuse based on fear. Cuomo said he himself will take the vaccine and show his confidence in it. I know that the United Kingdom will have at least 50 million sent from Pfizer via Belgium in the initial round. I am not sure how the other states will go, as far as the numbers? There is another company that will have it ready very soon also.
I'd rather Cuomo inject bleach after politicizing the vaccine. But I don't want New York to suffer anymore under him.

Good health to you and yours.

You should read the history of the conflict as it is a long and bloody one. The Azerbaijani worked in conjunction with the Turks during the Armenian Genocide which is one of the reasons the Armenians hate them. That land is not Azerbaijan, it is part of Armenia but was taken from the Armenians during the genocide.
People can really suck, all this hate. It really is a shame.
Turks still support Azerbaijan. What has changed is that Armenia is Russia's baby, now. Azeris don't hate Armenians. They hate the troops in the disputed lands - Karabakh.
War is over, because the Russians are now in Karabakh. What's strange to me is that 3 countries were co-chairs on the Minsk agreement. USA, France, and Russia. How can Russia be neutral, on the chair, yet interfering? It doesn't make sense to me.

The first war since the virus from China:
Azerbaijan vs Armenia. Terrible war. Been going on since the end of Zeptember.
One side - Azerbaijan wants to keep their land and run the Armenians to their homeland.
Armenia is attacking to keep their presence within Azerbaijan. But they have a base there in Azerbaijan.

I'm so glad those days are long gone, except for the time we had a garage band. I never had to use the free clinic. 😄 Could be true about the LSD. The Owsley stuff was very potent.The Satan thing was probably Anton Lavey who was into that shit. He even had Jayne Mansfield into it I guess. The girl can't help it.

Cost of groceries recently is killing me. Bacon is twice as much as it used to be.
My favorite album is still Tommy--- but recently I've been listening to Thick As A Brick a lot.
I wouldn't worry about the price of bacon doubling, as much as the price of cooking Green eggs and ham will triple under a new deal.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and axed us said "Please, hey, would we care to all get in line. Well ya know?" Back' in the blue. 😃 👍

A friend gave me this years ago and I am pretty sure it is based solely on Zep IV (Untitled). Pretty cool read. Came with a cover page but it got lost a long time ago.
Got it, read it, loved it. Thank you pageluvva! A great read.
This author is not politically correct, to say the least. This was pretty intimate.
And Microsoft got busted, Redrum. 😉

This is why threads like this get deleted. People start spouting bullshit.
Hey Strider, I hope you're doing well and in good health.
Threads don't have to be deleted. Take, for instance, this man's request to know what the Hell is going on where he lives. Upstate NY. Keep focused, Man.
I guess people would start spouting bullshit based on what they hear from WaPo or NY Times. But give some consideration, and throw your media driven brainwashing to the side for once.
I actually work with it Every f-- day. I'm sick of it, tbh with you. Listen to someone in the field for once, and put BS aside. Do you deal with 6K, 5K, 4 K. 2K. or 1K of folks tested?
Didn't think so. Test supplies were about at zero at the beginning. I'm telling him the truth, because I care about his life. Do you?? Or does what you read to make you feel better more important than this man's life? I didn't think so. Grow up a bit, enjoy the music at your store. I have been dealing with this in the field, first hand. You haven't. I bypass the media you take as gospel.
I'm not trying to cause waves. This is about truth. Not your pride. After H1N1 (10 Years Gone), there wasn't many supplies left, and no replacement. Man, grow up! This is life. There was nothing resupplied. In fact, they first slowed down and stopped testing before, because they assumed H1N1 was NOT worthy. I took care of people affected by that as well. I know what I'm talking about, because I was drowning in it 10 years ago, Man. And today is just as important. It's sickening and a huge stressor.

The things I watch and read do mention it, that’s my point. That recovery rate is a tough pill to swallow. Especially when the most advanced country on earth leads the way in infections and deaths. That’s a complete lack of ability to prepare, adjust and have a plan like other countries have done. Clear enough? Fuckin-A, red.
Preparation from last admin left us unprepared for a pandemic. It had to be built again from the bottom up, which has been exceptionable.
I would say lack of care on ability to prepare. When there is nothing in the cupboard, you have no choice but to build from scratch. 😉

FIVE out of the 50 states account for nearly 50% of all those infections and deaths in America.
I hope this thread gets deleted (too).
I know NY and Jersey are two. I look at leadership under those 2. Governors are in charge during pandemics. Not president.
I wonder what is in common with the top percentage of citizens within those states, and how bad the leadership is among those top states.
I don't know, so I am asking your opinion, Jonesy. Many thanks if you answer.
In Maryland, the count has gone way down, significantly. Way lower than before. And I don't see hospital beds being filled. It can't be that bad.
I see it as dissolving after 20% of an area has been affected. Then it moves on.

The Russians are pounding their chests that they have come up with a vaccine and will shoot up their own starting in October they say? Sounds like insanity. But who knows? If this thing mutates like they say, its terrifying. There are some that believe this is a clear message from above. Who can argue otherwise? I have diabetes, type 2, so I guess I have to worry about getting it. I wear the mask religiously when in a store. I forgot one time to put it on. I have about 5 in the car and they are washed weekly. I do not go out much these days. So I am in upstate NY. That might be an advantage? I am wondering how difficult it has been for many others here that live in much different areas? My daughter was working in Manhattan but now going to have her second baby in September in NJ. They even bough ta new house during this madness! I was shocked to hear it. So much damn uncertainty in the world in all areas. Financial, medical, etc. So hope you are all taking this seriously and are hoping we see an end at some point. But I do not see the finish line at all right now.
Hi 77, How's it going?
OMG 77, I know 4 people in Russia. One on this site. Aside from that, one I know gives her kids with Hydroxychloroquine.
That with zinc and another med beginning with an R *I forget* is not only something that helps, but a preventative. As for a cure for a virus, we have never even come up with a cure for the flu. This Corona is about 2.5 worse. Flu vaccine is BS. How many on this site have got the flu after having the flu vaccine? It's BS, and a waste of a good vein every year.
It is highly transmissible. But the death count has been obscured by about 25%, according to the CDC lady with Fauci (Delta Burkes, The Queen of Scarves, whatever her name is). If you have a family member with it, and you go out and get run over by a car, your death will be attributed to COVID 19. Your body getting squished by a car will in effect, cause your lungs to stop your breathing regulation. Since COVID is a respiratory virus, it is counted as COVID.
That said, I have worked with around 8 to 9K patients since March that have been tested. Of the first 6K, 10 came back with positive results. Masks aren't effective, unless you have one that you can't smell through. The reason for masks isn't for your protection; it's to protect other people from you. If you cough or sneeze, your mask protects others from whatever you might have. The flu, for instance.
I have only known 3 people (friends or acquaintances) to have it. One was black with diabetes. She died. She was otherwise healthy. One was a bitch, and she lived. The other was from NY, and he visited his mom in a nursing home a lot back in April.
You are in upstate? As long as you have a Cuomo as your gov'na, you are in danger. The guy sent positive patients into nursing homes! Old people's immunities are already low. Why strike a match and set it upon the top of a matchbook? Sick person. Yes, I would worry under management like that!
Otherwise, this is pretty much hype. Herd immunity is the key to the resolution of this virus. Some will die, (like my friend) yes. But the chances of contracting it are less than 1%. The chance of dying from it are about less than half of the US population that contracted it. It's hype. You have more of a chance of dying from pneumonia. But, this is coming from a closet germaphobe.

There is no reason to title this thread.
I've bought many Led Zeppelin books, and vested a hefty fortune. I am wondering what the best book is regarding the Untitled album.
The last album which I liked each track was Houses of the Holy. But the Untitled album is ultimately the best.
Are there any books solely on this album?
I understand that some books are costly, but it's no difference to me if it costs more than a few weeks of groceries. Thanks in advance.

This is a contest. 1964 Song video. Any released earlier or at the same time?
This was made a cartoon video later (the one you see here). I know there has got to me more than listed in MTV.
Edit to say: Reward goes out to the earliest going back to What Is The Earliest Rock Video of the 1960's

That seems like a nice independent school. Am I right in saying that it doesn't get any help from the government?.. pays it's own taxes, so it does not have to promote a government agenda?
So basically a college that allows and promotes (real)free speech without reproach? A rare thing, with regard to Academia. That school is one of the oldest in America. 👍👍
