Zika virus update.

Senate votes to approve a $1.1 billion bill to fight Zika by a 52 to 48 margin. But since the Democrats filibustered the bill, that wasn't enough to get it to the floor for a vote. And we're supposed to believe this is the Republicans' fault? ...

Our sci-fi future just got a whole lot closer to becoming a reality, after the Food and Drug Administration gave the okay to a field trial that would release genetically modified Zika-killing mosquitoes in the Florida Keys. On Friday, the FDA released a final environmental assessment of the trial, finding that it “will not have significant impacts on the environment.” The project, led by Oxitec, a biotech company that focuses on insect control, calls for the release of thousands of geneti ...

I feel horrible. Nauseated and having pretty back stomach pain. Anyone know of any viruses going around? ...

not feeling well at all. ...

With Christmas fast approaching, watch out for this virus...be alert.Please read the following. It applies to FedEx as well. The newest virus circulating is the UPS Delivery Failure. You will receive an email from UPS Packet Service along with a packet number. NOTE: The word ‘packet’ is misspelled (paket) on the subject line. It will say that they were not able to deliver a postal package sent to you on such and such a date. It then asks you to print out th ...

On Saturday night, my boyfriend and I went to a friend's house for a pre-Thanksgiving gathering. While there, I noticed that his breath was exceptionally rank (I could be standing 3 feet from him and smell it). After pushing gum several times and him turning it down, I finally had to tell him his breath was terrible. He chewed gum, but it never really got better. On Sunday, he started not feeling well...like he was coming down with a cold. Yesterday, he felt worse. ...

I would enjoy having that info.http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...-had/28531509/Blood tests can reveal a lot about you, from your suicide risk to your need for antibiotics. Now, researchers at Howard Hughes Medical Institute say a simple blood test can identify every virus you've ever had.From just a single drop of blood, VirScan can detect the remains of more than 1,000 strains of 206 viruses that are infecting or have ever infected a patient, Discover reports via a Science study.The c ...

This is the strangest vaccine story I have ever come across. Several scientists proved successfully in Germany that measles is NOT caused by a virus. The case was heard before the German Federal Supreme Court (equivalent of our U.S. SupremeCourt). The plaintiff was a biologist, and he was awarded monetary damages. Reseachers in the past decades committed a critical mistake: They used no controls. As a result, components of regular cells were misidentified as vira ...

I posted this a couple months ago. Basically, it's about being depressed, having socially anxiety (or maybe avoidant personality disorder). http://forum.mtstars.com/245664.html Well, instead of getting help then, I decided to get another MT job to try one more time. And I am getting worse. I realize I need to get help now, or my life is not going to go anywhere. I'm starting to have more suicidal thoughts and anxiety attacks. I don't have money to go to a doctor. I know I ...

Since this thread started last week, I ordered, received, and have been using e-cigs for 4 days. They're awesome. I've smoked since a teenager - before cigarettes were taboo. Since working at home, I was smoking 2+ packs a day. I'm now smoking maybe 8 cigarettes a day, with absolutely no withdrawal. When I smoke a real cig now, it's more of a choice rather than a necessity. When I run out of my cigs, I won't be buying a new supply ...

Keep writing and asking for more to be done. ...

Did some more research on this and apparently Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) is simply a fanatic about repealing the 22nd amendment. He actually has tried this before (HJ Res. 5) back in 2009, so I'm guessing it'll get about as far this time as it did last time. I would, however, like to have a discussion about the pros and cons of this bill - apparently there are some that would like to see this amendment repealed. I'm actually for more term limits - senate, house, supreme ...

As you know, she has a new diagnosis with Alzheimer's and am getting her started on coconut oil, well coconut oil gelcaps, as that was what was available at the store at the time. Anyway, not a moment too soon. Just needed to vent a little. Where to start! SHE GAVE ALL HER CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FROM ME AWAY!!!! Her greatest need at this time was warm winter sweaters, sweatshirts, layering pieces like turtlenecks and long-sleeved Tees to wear underneath ...

I posted a few times on the prayer board about being abused by my sister for as long as I can remember. Several of you encouraged me to see a therapist, and today was my first visit. I chose the therapist's name from a list of providers given to me by my insurance company. I did not know anything about her. I can say based on our session today that I am extremely pleased. She is just wonderful. It was a very difficult session for me, having to give ...

Hi all in MT land: I am here just to stop in and say hi. I had posted awhile back about giving my notice and moving onto a new (and better) job. My last day with my MTSO was Friday the 13th. I started my new job June 9th and stayed on to help finish out the pay period. My last day I posted a message on IM about it being my last day and goodbye everyone kind of thing and didn't hear a peep. Not one message. I don't care, it's not like I was expecting anything, but not even one m ...

Well, my legs and ankles are mostly normal now. I think I lost 10-15 pounds and took finally four Torsemide two morning and two in afternoon to do it. I have diastolic heart failure and that plus my low potassium threw me into a bad spell with swelling that would not go down. I do feel some better though. I still have the hives and now they are really bothering me badly. I went to the drug store and finally got some CVS brand Allegra 180 mg. I found reviews saying it was good for hives since ...

still exposing right wing shenanigans totally unfethered. When o when will that explosive investigation begin? Waiting to exhale. ...

Hi everyone, I am the one who posted a few weeks ago about going for the job with my State as a dispatcher. Good news!!!!! I had my polygraph today and I PASSED, lol. Yes, I was nervous, of course, because I realize that these are not 100% accurate but I decided ahead of time to just take a deep breath, be completely honest and it worked. I am so excited and hoping (with the way things are going) to be out of this field before the end of February (or earlier, hopefully). I believe that the ...

Well, it has been a month, short of 5 days, that I walked away from the medical field and medical transcription after over 23 years. I have to say that it has been the best thing that I have done for myself and my family in forever. The work schedule is a little screwy (dispatcher for law enforcement) but with no small kids and my husband already in law enforcement for 27 years, it has been adaptable for us. The first week was spent becoming certified on state and national comm ...

Won't touch the 4Health or Taste of the Wild. So, we're done spending a fortune on dog food. We're going back to Beneful. It seems to be the only thing she likes. Thank heavens, we only bought the small bags and they are gone now. On the positive side, as long as she's not eating much, she might lose some weight. LOL ...

Thanks to all your messages below. Here's an update. We have a small bowl of food out for her. I just could not stand to wonder if she is starving. So now we know she isn't. She is still skiddish, but it warming up to us. She doesn't run unless we make a movement toward her. If we stand still and talk to her she will sit and watch us and not run. She does appear a little thin, but at least I am more comfortable knowing if she i ...

She is delivery right now as I write this! Thankfully, my son and girlfriend are here to monitor so I can work. But I will be taking frequent breaks. I'm totally panicked. I'm just not cut out of this stuff! So far we have three. ...

I wrote awhile back asking if it was proper to send relatives a sympathy card. Just wanted to let you know I took all your advice, wrote some nice words about my cousin and heard that my card and words were greatly appreciated and touched their hearts. On a sadder note, I heard from two of my brothers that unfortunately they believe my cousins death was most likely a suicide. There is too much evidence leading, but his brother, sister and mom went over to clean up his apartment ...

Yesterday I went for my repeat films after receiving a call last Monday concerning an area of concern. The possible nodule again was seen on yesterday's films. They did an ultrasound which did not pick it up. The radiologist said he does not think we are dealilng with anything serious, but has advised me to return in six months for repeat films. Now we have a baseline set of films for comparison in May. Thanks so much for caring. ...

It goes by minutes...and by the way, I noticed that the Cherry Blossom Festival will go on.....Reid was so worried about it not happening. On the other Reid comment about women's health and pubs want to take away that funding. Planned Parenthood is VERY involved in abortion and unplanned pregnancies besides providing other services to women. If so, this is where most of the fight is all about now, and this is why they want to unfund PP. If PP wouldn't provide abortions, then the ...

Yesterday Tiny received one dose of Lysodren, 1/4 pill. She actually vomited a few times the day before she ever received it. The vet said don't give her any dinner that night until her belly settles down, and then Wednesday give her the first dose. This morning my stepfather called me and told me he had to take Tiny to the hospital before 8:30 this morning. She had vomited huge amounts in the kitchen apparently overnight, very early in the morning. She was weak and ...

Just thought I'd let everyone one know that I found a very close parking lot near by (only a block away from the theater). Thank you to to those who gave me google advice. It was $35 for the night. I should have paid better attention though. To make al ong story short, I had to move my car because the lot closed at midnight and the concert was just ending at 11:45 so at about 8:00 I moved my car and found that parking is free after 7:30 on the streets. There wa ...

Just in case some were wondering how the stray cat that was pregnant is doing... We have not seen her in a few days. She was getting pretty big and we were thinking she would have them any time now. We set up boxes and old towels in different areas just in case. She looked pretty content, we would look out to find her laying on our lawn in the sun with her big belly :-) and then at night time curled up on our porch, but she has not been around for a few days now. There i ...
