I said before  profit was fine we're talking thousands for one prescription .Pfizer or Moderna are still here she isn't

PS I didn't say it was those two but it was big pharma

This was some anti-nausea drug?

Not an actual cancer treatment?

I'm confused.  Maybe it cost a lot to develop, I don't know.  Maybe it costs a lot to make.  Maybe it had some insanely high profit margin.  I obviously don't know these things, nor whether Pfizer was the maker.

Looks like Wisconsin has peaked now, as the 7 day moving average has started to slowly fall.

This week will tell us a lot for how things are going up there.
Based on what? I use worldometers:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/wisconsin/

What I see there is perhaps a weekend pause, but there was a similar pause from Oct 25-28 that didn't really stop the upward trend afterwards.

I agree that the next week or so will determine if there's any change in trend, but I'm asking as my normal data source hasn't shown anything that I would call "started to slowly fall".

One of my clients passed away from it yesterday. Just 70 years old. Saw him Oct. 9 and he was great. After I heard the obituary on the radio at 7:45 a.m. I called his wife by 8:30 a.m. to offer my condolences. I talked to his daughter later and told her I was not attending church and not attending wakes or funerals, this year. He had prior good health. 
My wife's aunt age 93 just contracted it. It is probably the reckless behavior of someone who we think probably walked it into her home and who obviously was exposed to the virus in that person's home, and should have known better.
This is so frustrating. I worked to avoid it, and while I didn't avoid it, there are too many who are not even trying to avoid it.
That said, I had a walk-in today who was able to sneak in my usually locked front door as another client walked out. (I require appointments now). I thanked him for wearing a mask. He replied, "Everyone should wear a mask. I lost my brother to it."

Weekend pause doesn't show up until Tuesday/Wednesday now. Tests from Friday show up Sunday/Monday. Friday is normally the biggest testing day.

People on Chemo often suffer from nausea. I know my mom did, more often than not.

Anti-nausea drugs are normally cheap. It's the Chemo that's insanely high.

Yup, in general, anti-cancer drugs are designed to kill off rapidly multiplying cells, which includes the stomach lining and hair follicles.

No big surprise, but the death numbers and case numbers out of Russia are under-reported by a factor of 4.

How would anyone know if it's a factor of 4, or 8, or 25, or 100x too low?

I like this much better than the other one, which must be stored at -100F. This is much more feasible.


On Monday, Moderna also announced that its COVID-19 vaccine has so far proved 94.5% effective, based on preliminary data in its ongoing study. That vaccine can be stored at 36 degrees Fahrenheit to 46 degrees Fahrenheit — the temperature of a standard home or medical refrigerator — for 30 days. And it can be stored at negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit for up to six months or at room temperature for up to 12 hours.

Suddenly the state of MN's purchase of a large cold storage facility back in March doesn't look so dumb. 

MDH originally intended it to be a temporary morgue (and with the hard surge in cases in the Midwest, it may still be used as such), but having a large centrally-located cold storage hub to maintain and distribute cold-dosage vaccine is a good thing.

Iowa starts it's first mask mandate today

I guess the election is over

bars closed at 10pm

I hope this helps

I'll be wearing a mask into the bar Wednesday night for wings and won't be able to sit at the bar.

Supposed to be in the 60's Wednesday, might sit in the beer garden at a picnic table!

Sounds a lot like what we practice down here. Outside, and masks, other than when you are sitting at a distanced table.
