Commonly used steroid reduces risk of death in sickest coronavirus patients, preliminary study results suggest

https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/16/health/dexamethasone-covid-drug-recovery-trial-bn/index.html

The two lead investigators of the Recovery Trial, a large UK-based trial investigating potential Covid-19 treatments, announced to reporters in a virtual press conference on Tuesday that a low-dose regimen of dexamethasone for 10 days was found to reduce the risk of death by a third among hospitalized patients requiring ventilation in the trial.

Nice! I wonder what kind of steroids are in asthma inhalers and if they would help prevent it. I'll have to look into that. . .

Meanwhile, Mike Pence is trying to convince everyone a second wave is nothing to be concerned with.

Because RNC.  I do wish they'd hurry up with that vaccine.    But they don't even know what they're dealing with.

Veil Our Faces

We languish in solitude,
the days crumbling into dust.
Our lives set to a pause,
a world fret in mistrust.
 
The weighted stares we avoid
as the masks veil our faces.
A tape marks where to stand,
Distance expanding our spaces.
 
A new normal we are often told,
the strategy to flatten the curve.
With jobs lost, unrest, and death,
Will there be anything to conserve?
 
Now with talk of a second wave,
the lock downs will hit us more.
A wave that grows as it moves
closer to our societal shores.
 
We've had enough of this wild ride,
the costs we can no longer bare.
My God deliver us from more pain
as we seek him in earnest prayer.

White flag

 
How long will it take --  
there’s an ache  
where my chest is  
and tears smudging glasses  
A friendship tank  
that can’t be filled  
by anything but presence  
voice  
eyes  
meeting  
unfettered by screens  
 
*  
withering  
fading  
empty  
I am sliding into that pit  
it took years to claw out of  
simply cast me down  
to drown  
in the wine of my tears  
blissful  
 
If the plague were to come  
just calmly succumb  
all colour has drained  
relinquish  
*  
 
Yet I close my eyes to open another day  
Surrender to your will for me to stay.

Judge orders Mnuchin to give Native American tribes full stimulus funding

A federal judge is once AGAIN ordering Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to release the full amount of stimulus funding Congress set aside for Native American tribes which have waged a months-long battle to gain access to the funds set aside by Congress as indigenous peoples face some of the worst rates of COVID-19.

"The Trump Treasury Department has inexcusably dragged its feet in getting this urgent money, which Congress specifically provided for Tribal governments, out the door. The Trump Administration has come up with excuse after excuse for its baseless delay. But now that the Court has weighed in unequivocally, there can be no more excuses,” Udall said in a statement.

Fuckers.

It's probably being diverted into a Trump Legal Defense Fund.
