are you sure? where did you get that information? i thought it was not known and the trail was paused. why would they even pause the trail if it involved someone taking the placebo? sensationalism strikes again.
had to wear a mask at work for the first time, luckily only in the public spaces, but still, no fun. everyone is getting really tired of this 2020
what they don't get is that covid 19 is here to stay. life as we knew it before, is finished for the next 2 or 3 years. who knows what will be after....we might get some pretence at normality in the spring and summer, but for the rest its gonna be a daily droning of how many new cases and what new freedoms we must agree to curtail. Bern has declared no more church services again for example. while i don't require church, i really feel for those whose lives revolve around a congregation. specially because they are still allowing hockey matches with fans. doesn't seem fair or constitutional to me.
as my boss put it, we can only hope the government knows what they are doing. so far they haven't done badly when all is said and done.
It’s being reported by many sources

Case fatality rate is in Sweden (5.4%) higher than in the US (2.7%) or Netherlands (2.6%) according to the John Hopkins University.

The goes to to prove herd immunity, going about your business or pleasure in crowds, unmasked isn't working.
It's so simple to wear one. I've got a dozen cool masks besides the 10-pack for $3.99. Some were pot leaf socks, odd socks, others hemp and patterns.
May as well make a semi-fashion statement or individuality; CO-19 is going to be among the globe for quite while.
Ahhhhh, spreading the joy of seeing DJT at a rally. Masks optional. Sheer madness leaving behind COVID cases by the hundreds.
He stopped first in Minnesota, where Blue Earth County’s coronavirus growth rate was 15% before Trump’s rally, but grew to 25% afterward. Three days later, he was in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, where the coronavirus growth rate jumped from less than 3% before his visit to more than 7% afterward.
Even in states where cases were already rising, the spikes in at least four counties that hosted Trump rallies far surpassed their state’s overall growth rates.
In two counties, it was more than double: Marathon County’s case count surged by 67% after Trump’s visit compared to Wisconsin’s overall growth rate of 29% during the same time. In Beltrami County, Minnesota, it swelled by 35% compared to the state’s 14%.
“Americans have the right to gather under the First Amendment to hear from the President of the United States, and we take strong precautions for our campaign events, requiring every attendee to have their temperature checked, be provided a mask they’re instructed to wear, and ensuring access to plenty of hand sanitizer,” Parella said in an email statement. “We also have signs at our events instructing attendees to wear their masks.”
He said Trump attracts everybody from “those who think it’s a joke, to those who take it more seriously, like me.” But he also pointed to the cases at counter-protests, which drew fewer people and still created community spread.
Or do whatever has been seen kind of as a badge of honor,” she said. “It’s reckless, it’s immoral and it’s unacceptable.”
That's what's maiming/killing Americans...."do whatever"......

i could not get an english translation for the sweedish health minestry covid numbers, but here is googles stats.
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=covid+19+numbers+Sweeden
if you click from "new cases", to "deaths" for Sweden, you will understand why some folks are scratching their heads.
there is absolutely no spike in deaths, while lockdown nations deaths are spiking. im not saying i know what this means, but it needs to be studied, specially if it goes on like this through the winter.

Sure have MO! Mask up!
New spreaders in our area: restaurants (now you have to leave contact info with them), churches, crowds. It's still on fire, MO.Watched CBS This Morning. They always have a musical group the last 15 minutes. ALL band members wore a mask except for lead vocalist. First time for everything.

Yeah, right, MO. Do your own thing. Not fear mongering. It's FACT.
The U.S. topped the one-day record for new coronavirus cases, according to Johns Hopkins University data, surpassing the previous summer high.
At the height of the surge, on July 16, the U.S. saw more than 77,362 reported new cases of COVID-19. On Friday, the U.S. reached 83,757 new daily cases, according to by Johns Hopkins University.
The news comes on the heels of a study by the University of Washington School of Medicine that projected more than 500,000 Americans could die by the end of February in part because of the nation’s current patchwork of COVID-19 mandates and the inconsistent use of masks to prevent virus spread.
"We are heading into a very substantial fall-winter surge," said Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington's School of Medicine. "We expect that surge to steadily grow throughout different states, and at the national level continue to increase as we head towards quite high levels of daily death in late December and January."
The new cases record may be a product of virus seasonality, pandemic fatigue and the return of schools and universities, said Bob Bednarczyk, assistant professor of global health and epidemiology at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health.
"It's really a number of factors coming together," he said. "And what I worry is that they’re starting to come together in a perfect storm."
Fast, cheap, accurate: Researchers pin hopes on Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR-technology tests to detect coronavirus
Experts say SARS-CoV-2, like other coronaviruses, is a seasonal virus that circulates easier in the fall and winter months – similar to influenza.
Michael Mina, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, said this seasonality is because of the virus’s molecular structure and biology and the fact people stay indoors during the colder months.
“None of this is surprising," he said, "and that’s what’s the frustrating part.”
Bednarczyk said Americans also may be getting lax as the pandemic drags on. People may be starting to see others outside of their “pandemic bubble,” might not wear masks inside someone’s home or may attend a gathering with a few too many guests.
"Pandemic fatigue is a real thing," he said. “People are just starting to get tired of wearing masks and staying distant, and taking personal stock of what they potentially feel safe doing in terms of trying to come back to a sense of normalcy.”
Mina predicts the spike in cases will greatly exceed the surge seen in the summer.
The U.S. missed an opportunity to suppress COVID-19 spread in preparation for the fall, he added, and now the nation is faced with impossible decisions.
“There are truly no good solutions anymore,” he said.
speaking of testing the Israelis are working on a test that detects covid 19 in your breath.
while the Swedes have started using dogs trained to detect covid 19.

- indeed - there has been word that these new Israeli robo-dogs can sniff a Covid19 fart out at 60 meters - lol
Ain't THAT the truth! ;o)

Now that the Covid pandemic is showing to be a fraud all the enablers are coming out of the woodwork claiming they almost does from Covid... I can't believe this hoax has this many people personally attached that they are now going online and lying their asses off trying to save face for being duped by a corrupt media .

Comfortably numb!
What a tool!
What is the thought process that leads people to deny a pandemic? Is it that they don't believe in science? Or is it that they want a reaction from people, like teenager shouting insults from a safe distance? Or is it an attitude of " it won't kill me so why should I have my freedoms restricted". Or is it something else? I just don't see why there are still people out there who don't believe what the whole world is reporting on.

because its easy to see the lies... Clue #1....did you see the flu counts for 2020 yet ? amazingly but it seems Western medicine has cured the seasonal flu, we are seeing nearly a 1000% decrease in flu cases in 2020 as opposed to 2019
this is all a globalist play to spread fear, drive up massive amounts of centralized debt, influence the 2020 election... the Elites are cashing in every chip they can with this Planedemic ... 2019 flu killed more people and collapsed our hospital system far worse then Covid19 is... this a pure Hoax from tip to tail and shame on anyone who is helping push this country destroying Hoax.. Typical leftwing crap, lies stacked on lies stacked on li8es, supported by the most ignorant of voter base imaginable
