Over one year for me. I've only got one plate and it's on the back. Dealer lost the other plate.

Sorry ABM but you do not live over 3,000 miles from Oregon. Driving distance is 2,245 miles. As the crow flies it is even closer. I remember St. Louis as being roughly 2,000 miles from Portland.

Well, crap.

What do you mean. The employees have to wear masks as do the customers. Why would I boycott?

As a customer, you'd have to wear a mask while sipping on a latte?
 
We're two years in. Biden could have made sure enough vaccine for the entire world was manufactured. For $56 billion we could have enough vaccine for the whole world to get 2 doses in a year. Another 6 months and everybody could have a booster, which would eliminate the stress on hospitals worldwide.

In the case of the NIH-Moderna vaccine, for example, we estimate that producing eight billion doses in one year would cost $23 billion. 842.1 kg of mRNA would be needed. This would require 4,620 employees working at 55 production lines, which could be set up in 14 facilities. The capital cost for retrofitting facilities would be $3.2 billion, while the operating cost for the drug substance production campaign would be $17.5 billion. Fill and finish would cost $2 billion.[7]

We could be the shining light for the world. We could be building almost limitless worldwide good will toward the US, which could last a generation. We're choosing not to, because we keep voting in leaders who are owned by corporate interests.
 
Post-COVID ‘brain fog’ could be result of virus changing patients’ spinal fluid

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Cases of “brain fog” among COVID patients are becoming more and more common, even among people recovering from mild infections. Now, new research is finally providing some potential answers to why people have difficulty concentrating, thinking clearly, and completing easy daily tasks after battling COVID. A team from the University of California-San Francisco say brain fog may result from how the virus alters a person’s spinal fluid — just like other diseases which attack the brain.

Their study finds certain patients who develop cognitive symptoms following a mild case of COVID-19 display abnormalities in their cerebrospinal fluid, similar to the kinds which appear in patients with diseases like Alzheimer’s. While this is only a start, study authors are optimistic this work is an important first step toward understanding what exactly SARS-CoV-2 can do to the human brain.

“They manifest as problems remembering recent events, coming up with names or words, staying focused, and issues with holding onto and manipulating information, as well as slowed processing speed,” explains senior study author Joanna Hellmuth, MD, MHS, of the UCSF Memory and Aging Center, in a university release.

Post-COVID brain fog is likely much more common than most people realize. One recently released study focusing on a post-COVID clinic in New York found that a staggering 67 percent of 156 recovered COVID-19 patients experienced some form of brain fog.

I listened to this episode of Startalk a couple days ago, and Dr. Christakis made a point I wasn't aware of. He said (and I'm paraphrasing) children who haven't had the covid vaccine have a 30% higher risk of death than children who have.

It's a great listen if you have time...
