I bought SPX at 4170. Waiting for one more leg down to buy more before ATH in June. By the way, don’t you already have several threads demonstrating your investment failures? Why have a new one?
Yep, there is nothing the useful idiots can do about it either except have tantrums.
The public wants lightweight, safe, covid rx, not heavy duty AIDS drugs like paxlovid or toxic molnupiravir
Hospitalizations in Largest Trial to Date
Patients who got the antiparasitic drug didn’t fare better than those who received a placebo

Researchers testing repurposed drugs against Covid-19 found that ivermectin didn’t reduce hospital admissions, in the largest trial yet of the effect of the antiparasitic on the disease driving the pandemic.
Ivermectin has received a lot of attention as a potential treatment for Covid-19 including from celebritiessuch as podcast host Joe Rogan. Most evidence has shown it to be ineffectiveagainst Covid-19 or has relied on data of poor quality, infectious-disease researchers said. Public-health authorities and researchers have for months said the drug hasn’t shown any benefit in treating the disease. Taking large doses of the drug is dangerous, the Food and Drug Administration has said.
The latest trial, of nearly 1,400 Covid-19 patients at risk of severe disease, is the largest to show that those who received ivermectin as a treatment didn’t fare better than those who received a placebo.

How should the most recent studies on the efficacy of ivermectin against Covid-19 influence its use going forward? Join the conversation below.“There was no indication that ivermectin is clinically useful,” said Edward Mills, one of the study’s lead researchers and a professor of health sciences at Canada’s McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. Dr. Mills on Friday plans to present the findings, which have been accepted for publication in a major peer-reviewed medical journal, at a public forum sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Mills and his colleagues looked at 1,358 adults who visited one of 12 clinics in the Minas Gerais region of Brazil with Covid-19 symptoms. The patients all had a positive rapid test for SARS-CoV-2, and were at risk of having a severe case for reasons including a history of diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease or lung disease.

The researchers prescribed half of the patients a course of ivermectin pills for three days. The other half received a placebo. They tracked whether the patients were hospitalized within 28 days. The researchers also looked at whether patients on ivermectin cleared the virus from their bodies faster than those who received a placebo, whether their symptoms resolved sooner, whether they were in the hospital or on ventilators for less time and whether there was any difference in the death rates for the two groups.
To make sure they were being thorough, the researchers analyzed the data in three different ways. They looked at data from all patients; then analyzed data from patients who received ivermectin or a placebo 24 hours before they were hospitalized; and in a third review, looked at data from patients who said they had adhered strictly to their dosing schedule. In each scenario, they found ivermectin didn’t improve patient outcomes.
“This is the first large, prospective study that should really help put to rest ivermectin and not give any credibility to the use of it for Covid-19,” said Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, who reviewed the findings.
Ivermectin is used primarily to treat patients with certain parasitic diseases. Some doctors have been prescribing it to Covid-19 patients, and some people have been found ways to obtain ivermectin without a prescription. The drug has antiviral properties, but hasn’t been approved by the FDA to treat any viral infections.
Given its antiviral prospects, scientists early in the pandemic thought it could be a candidate for treating Covid-19. In June 2020, a group of researchers in Australia published a paper showing that large amounts of ivermectin could halt replication of the coronavirus in cell cultures. But there was a problem: To achieve that effect, a person would have to take up to 100 times as much ivermectin as the dose approved for use in humans.
Some studies on ivermectin published in journals or on preprint servers ahead of peer review have demonstrated no benefits, or worsening of Covid-19 symptoms, after ivermectin use. Some have shown some benefit, such as shorter time to symptom resolution, reduction in inflammation, faster viral clearance and lower death rates.

But most studies showing positive effects had significant limitations such as small sample sizes or poorly defined outcomes, according to the NIH. Several studies on ivermectin have been withdrawn from publication, including a randomized controlled trial looking at 100 patients in Lebanon that was retracted by the journal Virusesdue to issues with the statistical analysis, according to the journal. Researchers at the NIH and Oxford University also are conducting large trials on the effectiveness of ivermectin, though results haven’t been published.
Dr. Mills said ivermectin could improve outcomes in Covid-19 patients who are fighting off certain parasitic diseases at the same time. But based on his team’s findings, he said, the drug doesn’t seem to have any effect on Covid-19 itself.
Dr. Mills and his colleagues also are studying other drugs that could be repurposed to work against Covid-19. Such drugs could be useful because their side effects are well known and they may be cheaper to deploy in poor countries than drugs like Merck & Co. and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics LP’s molnupiravir or Pfizer Inc.’s Paxlovid.

Merck said it has taken steps to make molnupiravir available in low- and middle-income countries, including allocating three million courses for distribution through aid groups and granting licenses to generic manufacturers. Pfizer said it was working to expand its supply chain and licensing production of Paxlovid through a United Nations program.
Dr. Mills and his collaborators have looked at 11 repurposed treatments against Covid-19, of which at least one has shown promise—fluvoxamine, which is commonly used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder and depression. They published the research in the Lancet Global Health in October, showing that Covid-19 patients who received fluvoxamine were less likely to require hospitalization than those who didn’t.
The researchers are looking at the effect in Covid-19 patients of combining fluvoxamine and an inhaled steroid, budesonide, as well as a drug called peginterferon lambda, which is used to treat chronic viral hepatitis
I wouldn’t go for it. But horse paste was clearly in the photo that bostwat previously posted about his “mother in law regimen”. Don’t go bareback in public. Too risky.

Hey where all the gold haters lately? Yet one more thing these tools are completely upside down on
Serious question, has there been one single thing the covidians have been right on? Talk about useful idiots with no credibility 💰🤦♀️

It’s up in the past week. Down 3.5% since you were last freaking out about it. I don’t “hate gold” so much as use it strategically during a counter trend like which is occurring now. I would never hold gold as a long term investment. Particularly now that crypto is available.
That's a given.
But I think it goes back to Reagan-Bush, the acceleration of outsourcing and small little wars during Clinton, and the .COM boom-bust that wasn't Clinton (or the Republican Congress for that matter), W.'s wars as well as new entitlement spending (a lot of bad mistakes with Education boosting too), the Housing boom-bust that wasn't W. (or the Democractic Congress), and ... the massive over-spending ever since.
The fact that we Americans, unlike European Socialists or even Market-based Europeans like the Swiss, actually don't udnerstand what it costs to pay for things, and that we need to raise Middle Class taxes like the Europeans, or even Canadians, to do so, because taxing the high income earners even more won't do anything, or corporations for that matter (our allies get less from corporations than we do), let alone asset seizure (wealth taxes) will end all investment in the US, is the bigger issue.
Until American consumers feel and pay for their impacts and services, truly as it costs, it doesn't matter if we have Crony-Capitalism or Soviet-Socialism, it won't be actual Capitalism or Socialism.
We should have just had 2-4 week 'furlough' and 'deferment' loans for Americans, more like the Europeans did, and then called it. But unlike Europe, we just fired a lot of people ... all while keeping big businesses going.
The mortality and other rates didn't justify what we did. Even the Sweedes quickly came to that conclusion, among some others. It's a really poor state of results, and I don't think we'll ever allow this to happen again.
The same things is ... we probably should still be wearing masks, unlike re-vaxxing people over and over. But, Americans are tired and they don't trust the authorities as a result. That was one thing many of us predicted would happen by spring of 2021 when the intiial data was not turning favorable for vaccines.

The cloths do not at all, agreed, for inhaling.
For exhaling, they just reduced some distance
The N95 reduce quite a bit of intake, but some still come get through.
For exhaling, they just reduced more distance.
The P100 are awesome, especially if they filter out all sorts of things, depending.
The location of the exhaust valve (outward or downward) will actually be like no mask in that direction, unless something is over it.
IT
Stands for "Information Technology," and is pronounced "I.T." It refers to anything related to computing technology, such as networking, hardware, software, the Internet, or the people that work with these technologies. Many companies now have IT departments for managing the computers, networks, and other technical areas of their businesses. IT jobs include computer programming, network administration, computer engineering, Web development, technical support, and many other related occupations. Since we live in the "information age," information technology has become a part of our everyday lives. That means the term "IT," already highly overused, is here to stay.
