Why do children react differently to COVID-19?
The answer isn’t clear yet. Some experts suggest that children might not be as severely affected by COVID-19 because there are other coronaviruses that spread in the community and cause diseases such as the common cold. Since children often get colds, they might have antibodies that provide them with some protection against COVID-19. It’s also possible that children’s immune systems interact with the virus differently than do adults’ immune systems. Some adults are getting sick because their immune systems seem to overreact to the virus, causing more damage to their bodies. This may be less likely to happen in children.
Read that 5 times and tell me what you come up with. Nobody knows.
What I found interesting from reading this is that the implicit focus is on antibodies. NOT on T cells. I’m not a med person, the reason for that may be so obvious to someone in the field there is no point in stating it. It’s just something that I noticed.
@ eaglesoars:
We. Don’t. Know.
But hell, let’s shut down the economy and cause children, adults and workers irreparable damage because the Bad Orange Man is running for re-election.
By the way, remember Obama’s telling that woman that Grandma maybe needs a pain pill and hospice care because at some point we shouldn’t waste medical resources on keeping you alive.
Remind me how old RBG is…and she should be damned grateful that ACA has been diluted and that she isn’t on it.
@ eaglesoars:
it sounds to me like they are describing a properly working, and properly challenged immune system in kids, and a bored, unused immune system n adults.
there is a point when you are too clean. the immune system needs to be challenged or ya end up with over-reactions and ridiculous allergies.
this is starting to look very, very arkancidish

@ coldwarrior:
My first reaction is that IF related to Epstein (and since her husband was a defense attorney, there may be an answer to be found there) it was not to intimidate – it was to get her emotionally wrecked so that her NEWER cases would be reassigned (cases closer to trial would be staying with her, you don’t want a new judge coming in and having to be brought up to speed; the Epstein case hasn’t really progressed past the issuing of the summons stage as far as I can see – it can be given to another judge without skipping a beat).
Wow…
Rush is reporting that from the information he’s getting, he’s up to 60 million listeners, three times his customary number. And I do notice that he has not been getting the usual libturd seminar callers he used to. Which means, to me, they are tuning in to listen.
I have also noticed a significant increase in the number of “minority” callers to all conservative shows expressing disgust with the Democrat Party, their friends in BLM and Antifa (and it doesn’t sound as though they’re reading from a script).
Interesting. If I were Pedo Joe, I’d start to worry.

I haven’t heard a thing about FEDERAL workers being laid off during this “shut down”. Or that Congressional staffs have been reduced. I seem to recall whenever there’s a government “shutdown” Democrats go batshit crazy telling us how awful it is for the “nonessential workers.”
Maybe if the Executive*, Judiciary and Legislative branches were told they were to designate, say, 15% of their staffs – and this is furloughed – no back pay when it all reopens – on a federal/state/local level, they’d end this shutdown within the month.
*I imagine Trump would have NO problem reducing the D.C. executive/agency payrolls by 15%.

When one of the attorneys left the firm a few years ago, for some reason he left his Eames Chair behind. After a couple of weeks, another attorney moved the chair into his office. There was a huge fight about his “authority” to do so. It was the silliest thing I’ve ever witnesses. I never even saw fights like this over vacated corner offices.

Codvilla – the COVID Coup
The answer really does lie in the depth of political party/class solidarity. The governors and officials who imposed, maintain, and rationalize the lockdowns are all but one (Ohio’s) Democrats. Their counter-factual assumptions/pretenses/convictions, their misrepresentations, their falsehoods and outright lies, are all about their social class’s effort to secure their privileges against an increasingly recalcitrant general population.

This is reminiscent of that piece of crap that filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump for rape when she was 14 and then dismissed the case right before the election and before she ever served Trump.
Someone has pointed out that one of them is claiming harassment by Carlson on a night he had a substitute host on his show. Discovery ain’t gonna be pretty, ladies, and the minute those defendants hire lawyers and file answers, you’re on the hook for their attorneys’ fees. Ask Stormy Daniels how that turned out.

As I listened I remembered two things, the exploitation of his first wife claiming that she was killed by a drunk driver.
That was a flat out lie. Then recently he complained about how tough it was to scratch by as a single parent raising two sons in 1972 on $42,000 per year. In today’s 2020 dollars that converts to $269,000 per year .

This is an interesting article on reverse discrimination lawsuits. The problem is – who has the resources? Be they time, money, emotional reserves, whatever.
HR departments should tread very carefully when selecting training in the current environment. If management pushes training that assigns collective guilt to any race, religion, sex, or ethnicity, it may constitute direct evidence of discriminatory intent in a later lawsuit claiming discrimination.
Training based on the book White Fragility, if sponsored by decision-makers as a mandatory expression of corporate culture, will likely be heavily relied upon by future plaintiffs who suspect they were denied promotions, bonuses, and other opportunities due to their skin color

In the last few months a lot of people have lauded Tucker greatly and also he has been attacked by Character Assassination more often. I don’t watch FOX anymore just see the clips online.
In my job I saw racism and sexism by managers. It wasn’t as prevalent as the media suggests but it was serious. A leader needs to get ahead of both issues by being… a leader. Build confidence. Be an example. Step in an correct. Step back. If no learning occurs. Demotion, Transfers, Firings.

Dear Libturds – be careful how far you push. The University of California, Davis didn’t admit an older guy to its Medical School because there were all sorts of special slots for minorities, who didn’t have to compete on the same level as White students. He sued, UC appealed, won, he appealed, won, and rather than just leave well enough alone in this instance, UC decided to appeal to the Supreme Court.

Men are living in a nightmare world and it’s not given enough credence. There was a guy on my team who PERSONIFIED ‘toxic masculinity’. Unbelievably good looking and sexy and everything. Married, 2 kids, and faithful to his marriage. Believe it or not. The ladies didn’t make it easy. I had to rig his phone so that only pre-approved numbers got thru, then that didn’t work, so I just unplugged him. Then they started calling ME – “um, do you know how I can talk to [name]? I REALLY need to…”
“No you don’t really need anything he’s busy, there’s email, and if I get another call from you, it’s going straight to HR.”
And most of these women were married.
He was not a saint. He loved to be flirted with, he was a normal human being. But when the phone calls started landing on my desk, I had to rein him in. “Hey, Brando, your wife signed up for this, I’ll bust your ass down 2 pay grades. Fix it.”

Ex-DHS Secretary Tom Ridge: ‘It would be a cold day in hell’ before ‘personal militia’ would be welcomed uninvited in Pa.
Former Department of Homeland Security Tom Ridge ripped his former agency’s current actions in Portland, saying it is not the office’s mission to act as domestic law enforcement.
…
I also think it sends a horrible signal globally that we’re just going to send in uninvited federal agents to deal with a state and local problem,” Ridge said.

High level summary — statistics I found were 3.3 million positive cases over the past 6 months — Now, there is uncertainty in that number because we know the numbers are fudged, but going with that gives an infection rate of 1% for a country or 330 million people. I used a 70% sensitivity for positive results, I’ll get the number I used for specificity tomorrow and let you know; had a lot going on today and I don’t remember what the number was. Applying the numbers gave very low confidence value for P(Have the Virus | Positive Result). The one really disconcerting thing I found while looking for the statistics is that the tests really only start reaching good sensitivities if the person being tested has had the symptoms for about 10 days.

John Solomon has a piece on Fauci’s track record and some of it is disturbing.
A pregnant Tennessee woman who died in 2003 after she enrolled in NIH-funded research in hopes of saving her soon-to-be-born son from getting AIDS. A review found that doctors continued to administer an experimental drug regimen despite signs of liver failure.
At least 10 children in a pediatric AIDS drug study died in what an investigation concluded was a death toll “significantly higher” than expected and unexplained.
An Office of Government Ethics investigation that cited NIAID for failing to review and clear two-thirds of its workers who were moonlighting in private industry for possible ethical conflicts.
This just makes my skin crawl
Among the more concerning professional episodes in Fauci’s history is a series of AIDS drug trials performed on foster children. Those trials, which were performed in the late 1980s and 1990s, incorporated HIV-positive foster kids from several different states and were funded by NIH. Several of the studies were sponsored by NIAID, a sub-institute of the NIH which Fauci began directing in 1984 and was directing at the time of the studies.
Investigations found the children were very often denied a personal health advocate during the course of their trials, something medical ethicists consider necessary when trial participants are drawn from vulnerable populations such as that of foster children. Government researchers contended that the types of medicine they were using in the trials did not meet the threshold necessary to require child advocates.
And yeah, some of those kids died.

A suggestion from twitter I saw before their big Q net suspended me. I am not even a Q fan. I think I retweeted one of them that had a good tweet. And reposted and reposted and reposted the tweet like it wouldn’t go away. Well no big loss. I feel less anger now that I left twitter. lol. Twitter was easiest to use when I only had a phone.
The suggestion made was something like. Add a checkbox to the IRS return that lets any citizen declare themselves as a victim and also if they want federal assistance.
I believe that was to counter the wishes of the mayors of these cities. IF the IRS collects negative information on the progressive mayors?
So, CW, per my comments last night, this is what I was computing. It is nowhere near the complexity of including confounding factors or multivariate analysis. This was just a simple Baye’s analysis.
P(Have Virus | Positive Test) = (P(Positive Test | Have Virus) * P(Virus)) / P(Positive Test)
From what I could find on the web regarding the tests:
P Correct | Have Virus = 0.7
P wrong | Don’t have it = 0.02 — This is a biggie, I don’t know if the sources I found are correct on this or not
Assuming worst case, in the last 6 months 3.3 Million cases in the US have been diagnosed. We will assume these were properly diagnosed. US population = 330 Million, thus
P(Virus) = 3.3/330 = 0.01
So, the denominator:
P(Positive) = P(Positive | Have Virus) * P(Virus) + P(Positive | Don’t Have Virus) * P(Don’t Have)
= 0.7 * 0.01 + 0.02 * 0.98 = 0.0268
Note: if the 0.02 number is wrong, this makes the denominator larger and the result smaller
So, plugging in the numbers:
P(Have Virus | Positive Test) = 0.7 * 0.01 / 0.0268 = 26%
So, given a positive test, the probability you have the virus is still only 26%. That doesn’t seem very credible. What am I doing wrong? The driver is really at 0.7 probability of correct test. If the effective percent is higher, that makes the denominator larger and the probability goes down.
