FDA panel recommends molnupiravir, first pill for COVID-19 | CIDRAP

Several members of the advisory group said the treatment, which consists of 40 pills taken over 5 days, should be used in older patients or those with significant underlying medical conditions that put them at high-risk for COVID-19 complications.

The drug requires final approval from both the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) before it will be widely available on an emergency use basis. The FDA typically follows the committee’s recommendations.

Omicron still not detected in US

Despite extensive genomic sequencing, the CDC and the White House today said the Omicron (B.1.1.529) COVID-19 variant has yet to be detected in the United States.

“This virus is unpredictable, and we must be ready to be proactive,” said CDC Director Rochellle Walensky, MD, MPH. Walensky said the nation was in a good position to tackle Omicron, which has several mutations from the original strain of the virus, as well as the Delta (B1617.2) strain.

The Binary Code

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

I know every dialogue in this movie by heart! This scene embedded below is an epic dialogue from the movie ‘Troy’ where Prince Hector, heir to the throne, commander of the armies of Troy prepares his men for battle with this speech.

All the Greek gods are so handsome and perfectly sculpted!

Canadian pipeline and railway protests

LANDBACK Friends

Railway protests across Canada in support of the Wet’suwet’en and other First Nation peoples have been used effectively for several years. Following are excerpts from a detailed discussion of Canadian railway protests found on Wikipedia.

“Rail was a harbinger of colonized settlements and the genocide of Indigenous peoples.”

And among the other interesting things in the article Glorious Rage below are the following expressions of Mutual Aid:

“As allies/accomplices/dissidents, one of our greatest strengths against the state or organized bodies is our own flexibility and adaptiveness – often a quality hierarchical systems or organizational bodies don’t have.

Also, “use your words to inspire others to action – not to beg for change from government bodies complicit in an active genocide.”
