I Thought That Didn't Sound Right

For more than a month we kept hearing that OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING BECAUSE 800,000 FEDERAL WORKERS NOT PAID! And I thought 800,000 sounded high considering the small percentage of agencies involved.  But, whatever.

And it was going to wreck the economy and cause a recession.  Which sounded odd, so I looked up the numbers of those employed in the US: 129,630,000 full time.

If I did the math right that meant that 0.6% of the US work force was delayed in getting paid.  How does less than 1% having a delay in pay damage the entire nation's economy?  Sure, it has the potential to affect the employees concerned and a circle of vendors they use, but the whole U.S. economy?

Then last week I heard a couple things that got my attention.  First, it appears that 800,000 is an exaggeration.  It was more like 350,000.  That means less than 0.3% of the US workforce was affected.  Second, economic numbers for the affected time frame came out - and the economy boomed.

I assume they've moved on to a different narrative by today.  Being shown to be wrong over and over again doesn't seem to phase them.

  2. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
