[Gunner55]

  I can see 1 way he get's reelected & that would mean the GOP's nominee is worse. As a longtime supporter, I hope that's not the case.

Trump got elected because the best the Dems could muster up was Hilary. Biden got elected because, well we aren't sure I guess. Maybe because the country didn't like being run by a businessman. I dunno. Anyway it will be next up the next go around. The Dems are sharpening the pitchforks already in anticipation of another Trump run.

Why does it have to be a man? What am I getting at? Been following one person in particular and she's been getting some pressure on social media to run. Whether she'll do it or not remains to be seen. Who? Condi Rice. Yep, some baggage with the Iraq war but as far as anything else, one sharp cookie and experienced, not to mention black & female. We need someone like this to step up to the plate. We're running out of semi-intelligent options IMHO.

[Gunner55]

  slip of the tongue. Is that better?  I think she would be a good candidate. I, myself, would be interested to hear her stance on a lot of the issues facing this country.

[dutchboy]

Well hell, we all know or at least should know the quality of the candidate has nothing to do with running for President. Both parties would dig up Stalin and run him if he could generate enough money.

Being President is being a puppet, being a fundraiser.

Show me the money and where it comes from & i'll show you the next President.

It's a sad situation but it's becoming clearer to me each day I live.

[glenn57]

Well Dotch, ya best double your Rona quinine. the new strain is in Minnesota.

[Leech~~]

Why does it have to be a man?

Heck yeah, I agree!  Nothing wrong with a girl in tight jeans, and a gun on her hip as Pres!!   

[Dotch]

[Gunner55]

Iowa had a record for # of cases reported yday, no mention of Omicron that I heard either.

[Gunner55]

Just heard where Pfizer has gotten approval for their antiviral pill for everybody 12 y/o & up. Not much production for a while but it's seen as being very good for those who are immuno compromised & get the virus.

[Steve-o]

I was going to make a smart aleck comment about Biden making it free to everyone who needs it - and then guessing at the price to Uncle Sam.  I would have guessed low.   

Here it is...

Pfizer oral COVID-19 pill gets U.S. authorization for at-home use

The U.S. government's contract for 10 million courses of the Pfizer drug is priced at $530 per course.

That is a $5.3 BILLION order you and I just signed up for. 

[Dotch]

Imagine that...

[glenn57]

  Yea snows buddy, ole sleepy Joe's gonna save the world.

Sorry snow, Mikey made me say it 

[Pulleye16]

Not a huge fan of posting on political and COVID posts but the best thing about this new variant is that it’s weaker and this is huge!  A virus that kills its host will eventually kill itself. This is both good and bad. Good in the fact it will eradicate itself…bad that it will kill lots of people.

This virus is showing that it’s smart and is weakening. This will keep it around longer, not good, but won’t kill as many people…which is good! 

I think we’ll see the light soon with this virus this year as it’ll weakens again but be more relevant. Hopefully more like the common flu. Crazy thing is there are some many “ one-offs” with this virus that it’ll still be scary for some but I look at the new variant as a good sign.

Fingers crossed.

[Jerkbiat]

Right on. This is the more mild one that should give the majority of the people the needed antibodies to like you said make the virus go away. I am just so tired of all the fear mongering from the media and dumbs!

[Gunner55]

  I guess Merck has their own pill that is nearing approval & AbbVie has 1 in the pipeline as well.

[Gunner55]

It came out that Merck's was just approved in the last hour.  From what I understand the Pfizer course/treatment consists of 3 pills 2 times a day for 5 days. So thats roughly $17-$18/pill.

That sounds like our Federal Government!  The Reuter's article I reference below says the gub'ment is paying $530 per course to buy them from Pfizer.

I thought all of that covid microchip blather was simply the tin-foil-hat types spoutin' off their conspiracy theories.

Maybe not... 

Swedish COVID vaccine pass microchip maker addresses privacy concerns

Over 4,000 Swedes have similar chip implants for a wide range of uses

[Jerkbiat]

No chip for me. Ever.

[glenn57]

on the news last night the CDC said if your not vaxxed and get the rona now you only got hide for 5 days. i may have this a bit wrong, but i thought i also heard if you are vaxed and get it you dont need to hide???

[mike89]

I thought it was 5 days no matter what...   

[glenn57]

I thought it was 5 days no matter what...

[Jerkbiat]
