It would be interesting to see the effects of "weathering" on the poor folks living in Appalachia to compare them with those black and brown populations.

It seems quite possible that economic status is the biggest driver in terms of health care.

Trump was insanely horrible not instantly forgettable. That is why the good people of the United States are raising prosecutions against those who have made trump possible and those who would see him or someone like him back in power.

Whats his name did announce his government was not pursuing and would not pursue acquiring or developing a nuclear arsenal. If he can call off all coal mining we may make a little progress on that sub deal.

His country has signed nuclear non proliferation treaties.
The Greens, who have 10% of the vote will likely go nutz about these nuke powered subs...hate nuclear with a passion, and it will likely cost him the next election.
China has nukes, that is allowed.
"A vote for the Greens is a vote for Labor (left/far left)."

Certainly there are links between stress and health and access to health care that support the assertions put forth in that op-ed.

But there are other factors, too, that may provide an even clearer picture of the discrepancies found in our health care system. For example, in NYC vaccine hesitancy among black and brown people is a major contributor ( not the only contributor) to the fact that there are much lower back rates in some of the city's neighborhoods vs others.

Hospitals also have different specialties and competencies based upon the populations they serve.

If you get shot in north Jersey, youd be better off at University Hospital in Newark vs Morristown Memorial because experience dealing with gunshot wounds really counts.

The article is addressing broader long-term effects that were well-established in social science research long before covid.   Shorter overall lifespan (not just higher rates of trauma from urban crimes of violence) and higher rates of infirmity from chronic illness have been higher among the black population for a long and continuous stretch.   If it were simply "economic status, " then you would see a parity between blacks and whites in shared income brackets -- that's not the case.   The statistical analysis is not equivocal on this.

It was July and  Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida was being roundly castigated for promoting the use of Regeneron (monoclonal-antibody)to treat COVId.
He was roundly booed by scientists and the MSM.
Today the treatment is so successful the Biden Administration has taken over the distribution.
Oh, those Scientists!

It was July 2020 and Trump and the Repub stooges had lied and misled Americans about the disease for 6 months. They lost their credibility on the misinformation and inept handling of a public health crisis, in part by pushing quack drugs (hydroxy) and ingesting clorox. DeSantis is just another hack governor who wants to inherit the Trump following, at least the ones still able to make an X on a ballot.

Masks cost a few dollars and the vaccines, which seem to be around 95% effective, are covered by health insurers or Medicare and for all intents and purposes are free in the US. Regeneron therapy costs thousands per already infected patient.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

To be clear: monoclonal antibodies were cleared for use against COVID in November regurgitate. Oh those scientists, being consistent!

And the "booing" of DeSantis was not due to championing medically approved Regeneron, but for doing to while not only ignoring the things he could do to stop the spread of COVID, like mask mandates but preventing other from doing so, and because he was touting a treatment that a major donor had a major financial interest in at the exclusion of other interests.

Oh those intellectually dishonest right wing opinion sites Red regurgitates.

There is a belief held by some that:
"A good deed never goes unpunished".

Applies in the case of the Aussie woman shot dead by Cop Noor (whose conviction murder 3' has been overturned and who could walk free soon...with Chauvin then possibly demanding the same treatment).

She tried to do a good deed, but ended up dead in the street.

We know what works to prevent people from contracting this disease in the first place, masking and vaccination. We should be focusing on these preventive measures,said Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health policy and management at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health. [/bI It is totally backwards to say that we should be focused on treatment instead of emphasizing prevention, and the steps that we know work to stop Covid-19 in the first place.



Dr. Christian Ramers, an infectious-disease specialist at Family Health Centers of San Diego who proposed that promoting Regeneron was a backwards strategy It is so much better to prevent a disease than to use an expensive, cumbersome and difficult-to-use therapy Ramers submitted. It does not make any medical sense to lean into monoclonals to the detriment of vaccines. It islike playing defense with no offense.



The Washington Post submits that soaring demand for the therapy represents a sharp turn from just two months ago, when monoclonal antibodies were widely available and awareness of them was low

So the same people who relentlessly condemned DeSantis for trying to raise awareness two months ago are today coming around to his point of view.

Happy to welcome the Washington Post to the
Right wing media

You don't read very well, do you?

Oh those intellectually dishonest right wing opinion sites Red regurgitates.

"Intellectually" is a superfluous adverb there.
