Saw an interview with Zuby and Dr. McCullough - he said the nasal wash/gargling are the best things you can do (prevention-wise).
That said, I am getting really bored of the narrative that someow, we must never get sick again. It will happen. I may have had CV, but I did not test for it. Why? So they can have "data"? I just took care of myself - like I do every single time since get sick.
I had a feeling that when it was announced he was in hospice in February that something would come up in August since hospice is defined as <6 months. Especially since they really didn't give a reason for it other than 'old'.
My grandmothers were both in assisted living at the end of their lives. When a resident got an acute illness like the flu, that person was sent to the hospital to avoid the contagion spreading throughout and that they could turn be treated by medical professionals - doctors, RNs, etc.
I suspect most of the nursing homes in the news were assisted living facilities - meaning custodial care to help them with activities of daily living. The caregivers in ALFs are not medical professionals. The elderly who got CV should have been in a hospital setting (the care they would have received is a different topic).. Alas, that wasn't the point of the exercise...
That is always a possibility, but the risk they run is them being affected as well. IMHO, that was the part of the reason for the vaccine push - Midwestern Doctor wrote about this in terms of sterilization methods using say mosquitoes to control feral cat populations - no guarantees that won't screw up and affect humans and it won't make the distinction between "us and them" and 'they' know that.
My planned line is "aren't you bored of being terrorized yet?"
(A takeoff on a response Mike Rowe gave in an interview to the question of when does this all end and his response was 'when people get bored of being terrorized.'. He is not wrong.)
RFK interviewed Ed Dowd who lives on Maui a couple of days ago - no sirens. No phone alerts. Nothing. His comments on the arson over the last few years were interesting.

Thought crimes.
This piece was in Forbes - feds went after drafts - tad alarming.
I attended the funeral of a family friend earlier this week. (She was in her nineties and had taken a bad fall and never recovered.) What was odd was we did the graveside service which was short and sweet only to turn around and find another funeral procession waiting in line for us to vacate the area. Like an assembly line. It was weird.
I have not paid much attention to him, but I had to be in the car for awhile yesterday so I listened to a recent podcast where Patrick Bet David had him on in a town hall format. There is something about him that I can't quite put my finger on. Yes, he is bright, energetic and on many points we were on the same page.. Bur there were parts where he came off as naive. Other times where I felt he was full of it and feeding lines you wanted to hear. Also, he seems a little too scripted. There was a question about the intelligence agencies and he was all for getting rid of the FBI but evasive on the CIA, stating it was complicated and he was still looking into it. Uh huh. (I compare that to RFK Jr., who actually was able to explain what he felt was the problem and what he would do.) Plus he seems to have done waaaay too much for someone his age.
Maybe he just needs to be seasoned, but I agree - don't trust him at this point.
Your last sentence about Maui being a Democrat town. I watched the interview of RFK Jr with Tucker last night. GOP has the rap of "party of the rich' traditionally, but now it has flipped. It is a 70/30 split. Ultimately, IMHO, it is all uni-party, but there are quite a few people that need that shit hammered into their heads that the this is not your father's party.. Matyve Maui will wake a few more up, but tragically. what a cost...
Couple of jobs ago, I worked for an insurance agency that insured a lot of high net worth properties. At the time AIG was still writing in CA and they had their own fire unit who came out to do a presentation in conjunction with CalFire. They showed film of the Santa Rosa fires and examples of how to hardened your how to harden your home. Question came up as to what was the area tgey were most concerned about. Answer was Mill Valley (in Marin County, north of San Francisco) as it has not burned since the 1940s, limited roads and overgrown vegetation and lots of old homes. But a very wealthy enclave.
It was also published on Substack -free reading.
This was alluded to in the Into the Light documentary. There was a clip of an interview with Mel Gibson saying people fear public humiliation. Which is what they are trying to do here, but it won't work. MG then says he's already been through that and he just doesn't give a fuck anymore. That is really what makes him (and others like him) a threat. Mitchell et al. don't fundamentally understand that DJT supporters have channeled their inner MG. And it is glorious.
I believe he flipped and was probably the only one who potentially knew the envelopes were coming - why else hand it off to his wife as his father's casket is passing by when you could have held it and read it in the car ten minutes later?
I was watching Patrick Bet-David interview Glenn Greenwald on his podcast yesterday. PBD has been making a point as of late that it is not left/right, red/blue, D/R, but rather establishment vs. anti-establishment. GG expanded on that by agreeing and gave an example of the people that voted twice for Obama and then Trump in 2016. That if you look at it from the L/R paradigm, it doesn't make sense but it does when you view it as establishment vs. anti-establishment. Remember, Obama in 2008 ran as an outsider and that was very attractive to a lot of people who were fed up with status quo. It makes sense they were drawn to Trump. Obviously in hindsight, Obama was a bit of a ruse, but at their time, no one really knew. Social media had not taken off so the message was tightly controlled.
BTW, it is a good interview if you have the time. They usually chop it up into shorter bites but it takes a couple of days.
