Ivermectin for Covid

 In a stunning testimony before the U.S. Senate, Dr. Pierre Kory, medical director at the Trauma and Life Support Center at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, told investigators there is a medicine available that not only can be used as a preventative for COVID-19, but as a treatment for it. That drug is ivermectin, an antiparasitic compound that costs just 12 cents a dose. #covid

Youtube Censorship

 Youtube banning any sites questioning the election is the beginning of the end for them.  People want choices of content!!  

Arguing On-Line

 I often fall into these illogical traps in discussions, so this is a handy list of logical fallacies:

Covid-19 Vaccine

 Interesting article on the #covid #covidvaccine Why Covid-19 Vaccines wont save the world
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2020/12/no_author/why-covid-19-vaccines-wont-save-the-world
The points that were made are:

• It might lessen symptoms but not give immunity
• Effective rate of less than 1%
• Vaccine vs placebo is not a real world scenario
• Vaccines not only treatment
• Heavy metal adjuvants
• Side Effects

Other ways to fight covid:

• Zinc
• Resveratrol
• Garlic

Hopefully, this vaccine won't be mandated with the threat of certificates or tattoos in order to travel or work.

Election Blues

 Well the election is over and although I'm not happy that my preferred candidate did not win, there is always a silver lining.  I got so tired defending a man on-line that I wasn't thrilled with myself but could not stand idly while he was unjustly attacked so many times.  Now I get to do the attacking but I certainly won't do it with the viciousness and unfairness that I saw against Trump.  I also feel that after 4 years (maybe) of Biden, the country might be ready to elect a real gentleman, Rand Paul.  Then there's the possibility of the covid and the riots ending.  We'll see if they were politically motivated.  

Great Weekend

 Had a very successful 3 day trip to San Diego and Los Algodones, Mexico.  The first to return a chair to my son.  We brought his office chair to San Diego where we met him with my 2 grandchildren.  We booked a room near the beach with a pool.  The kids swam and then we walked down to the pier where we had some delicious tacos and ice cream.  Back to the room for some games including hide and seek and sardines.  It was great.  The next morning we went to Los Algodones for dental evaluations.  We stayed at the Hacienda Hotel.  Nice pool but the water was freezing!  We shopped a little and had lunch at La Parrilla and dinner at Poblanos Taqueria.  Both delicious!  The next morning we went to our dentist appointments.  Dr Parra Implants gave one estimate and diagnosis.

Irish to memorize

Is oibrí é m'uncail.

My uncle is a worker.

Why is the é needed?

an t-ealaíontóir 

AThe artist

In Irish, the order "PSO" is the rule (predicate - subject - object)
For copular clauses, then: copula - predicate - subject.
So:
Is é an dalta an fear = the man is the student. (predicate: an dalta = the student)
Is é an fear an dalta = the man is the student / the student is the man (predicate: an fear = the man)

The woman is his artist

Is í a ealaíontóir an bhean

Seems to be wrong

This is correct

Is í an bhean a ealaíontóir 

Why?

Rough Day

V.E. called her caregiver a bad name and she may not come back!   M.E.'s brother may be visiting on Sat.

Minimalism

Really enjoying YouTube videos on minimalism otherwise known as throwing stuff away. 

Questions

Why mí mheán fómhair  and not mí mheán fhómhair? Shouldn't the adjective match the noun?  Or is it gentive as in month of middle of Sept.

Dental Work in Mexico

 Getting ready to get some dental work done in Mexico.  I made the appointment for myself and my husband to see Dr Parra in Los Algodones.  Everything I've read about him on line has been positive.  It's not that I can't afford the work to be done in US but it seems so expensive here.  No, it is so expensive.  I know there's a higher overhead for offices, regulations, licensing, taxes here but does it amount to being 3 times the price as Mexico?  I feel that there is some price fixing being done here.  Why is there no competition resulting in a lower price?  I don't get it.  The other thing that bothers me is that they charge a much higher price for people without insurance.  It should be illegal to charge different prices for different people.  Anyway, I'll be getting my first appointment in about 2 weeks.  My sons have tried to dissuade me but the first appointment will only be an x-ray and a treatment plan.  I'll be able to make a claim to my insurance company (yes I have insurance) to see if they will cover it.  I will also be able to see if I'm comfortable with the doctor and his office.

Peaceful Protests

 Yeah right.  I guess my definition of 'peaceful' is much different than Michelle's.

Getting Back to Normal

 Since we didn't have a very busy life, life in the shut down hasn't been too much different.  I like how some classes and meetings continued under zoom and houseparty.  In some cases I'm actually visiting with family on-line more than I did pre-covid.  Anyway I'm happy that things are getting back to normal.

Shelter in Place - Day #7

Styxhexenhammer666 says the chloroquine drug seems to be helping but we have to make sure that people take full dose so drug resistance doesn't recur.

Getting sun today, gardening, cleaning car.  Yesterday did a on line clogging lesson with Katie....cool.  Worked out well.  Called my 91 year old cousin in NYC.  She's hanging on in her apartment.  

So far all's well.

Today we took a nice walk, vacuumed the car and sat in the sun.  We watched the President Trump's update.  It was very reassuring.  I think that we're going to be fine.
Last night we went to the store around 8pm, about an hours before closing.  It was interesting which items were completely gone: peanut butter, bread, eggs, vegetables, toilet paper, meat except for chicken.  It was weird.  No line though at the self check.  

This evening we had some delicious corned beef hash from leftover St. Pat's meal :)
