CORONAVIRUS INFO PROVIDED BY DR. JIM HARRIS – 12/18/2020

HELLO
Harris Comment: I wish the Marshall News Messenger would quit publishing current photographs such as are displayed in today’s edition. One group shot shows 10 valuable and mostly intelligent local citizens and leaders posing, without masks, is a conference room. Two other small photos show smaller groups, semi-distanced from each other. On page 3 A the group is almost distanced sitting around a table. On that same page is a Hallsville Chamber of Commerce picture with folks very, very closely packed. Well, since both of these pictured gatherings are promoting good causes, by decent, well meaning, prayerful, citizens, they don’t need to worry about even one of them carrying and spreading Covid. Do they?
Why should I wear my mask if the leaders of the city don’t? Maybe it doesn’t matter since by about Tuesday of next week the city is likely to be closed down by the governor again.
By the way, all the non ICU Covid beds are full in Longview. You can lay around in various ER’s for a day or two and wait for someone to be discharged or to die.
Here’s what JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) said yesterday in an editorial:
“… many, if not most, COVID-19–related deaths could have been prevented, showing that critical public health strategies must remain a major societal focus for the present and future. A national plan for a pandemic response must include robust federal coordination of testing capacity so that supply can meet ever-growing demand, better contact tracing, more robust supplies of personal protective equipment, and heightened emphasis on social distancing that includes travel precautions for the ongoing holiday season. With only 37 states currently having statewide facial covering mandates, President-elect Biden has announced his intention to ask all US residents to wear a mask for his first 100 days in office.
(J. Harris: Some encouragement and it is probably valid and it’s worth reading the article.)
“While apples-to-apples comparisons are hard—we were testing so much less in the spring—we almost certainly face a much bigger nationwide epidemic today than we did in the early, awful days of the pandemic, but the death rate is now much lower. Better clinical practices, more drugs, and a deeper understanding of how to treat COVID-19 have improved outcomes. However, those gains are fragile. The current surge of cases has placed hospitals around the nation under great strain. Some face shortages of beds and space, or even more dire, of trained personnel. An ICU bed without ICU nurses, after all, is just a bed….”

Dozens of children went to see Santa. He may have exposed them to the corona virus
(J. Harris: Give Santa a break this year and avoid him. This type gathering has already caused problems this year in Marshall, downtown, I am told.
Santa needs to get over his Covid. Mrs. Claus is also ill. At this time, there are no reports of sick reindeer.

COVID-19 Vaccines and Herd Immunity
This is a current understandable video regarding vaccines right now as well as when and how we will acquire herd immunity.
What did Snow White say when she came out of the photo booth? Someday my prints will come.
My doctor told me I needed to break a sweat once a day so I told him I’d start lying to my wife.
