salford1:That's why it's not worth the time to be debating with some folks about Trump on this thread, because they just regurgitate information they have little knowledge on |

A Supercomputer Analyzed Covid-19 — and an Interesting New Theory Has Emerged https://elemental.medium.com/a-supercomputer-analyzed-covid-19-and-an-interesting-new-theory-has-emerged-31cb8eba9d63 Earlier this summer, the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee set about crunching data on more than 40,000 genes from 17,000 genetic samples in an effort to better understand Covid-19. Summit is the second-fastest computer in the world, but the process — which involved analyzing 2.5 billion genetic combinations — still took more than a week. When Summit was done, researchers analyzed the results. It was, in the words of Dr. Daniel Jacobson, lead researcher and chief scientist for computational systems biology at Oak Ridge, a “eureka moment.” The computer had revealed a new theory about how Covid-19 impacts the body: the bradykinin hypothesis. The hypothesis provides a model that explains many aspects of Covid-19, including some of its most bizarre symptoms. It also suggests 10-plus potential treatments, many of which are already FDA approved. Jacobson’s group published their results in a paper in the journal eLife in early July. According to the team’s findings, a Covid-19 infection generally begins when the virus enters the body through ACE2 receptors in the nose, (The receptors, which the virus is known to target, are abundant there.) The virus then proceeds through the body, entering cells in other places where ACE2 is also present: the intestines, kidneys, and heart. This likely accounts for at least some of the disease’s cardiac and GI symptoms. But once Covid-19 has established itself in the body, things start to get really interesting. According to Jacobson’s group, the data Summit analyzed shows that Covid-19 isn’t content to simply infect cells that already express lots of ACE2 receptors. Instead, it actively hijacks the body’s own systems, tricking it into upregulating ACE2 receptors in places where they’re usually expressed at low or medium levels, including the lungs. In this sense, Covid-19 is like a burglar who slips in your unlocked second-floor window and starts to ransack your house. Once inside, though, they don’t just take your stuff — they also throw open all your doors and windows so their accomplices can rush in and help pillage more efficiently. The renin–angiotensin system (RAS) controls many aspects of the circulatory system, including the body’s levels of a chemical called bradykinin, which normally helps to regulate blood pressure. According to the team’s analysis, when the virus tweaks the RAS, it causes the body’s mechanisms for regulating bradykinin to go haywire. Bradykinin receptors are resensitized, and the body also stops effectively breaking down bradykinin. (ACE normally degrades bradykinin, but when the virus downregulates it, it can’t do this as effectively.) Interestingly, Jacobson’s team also suggests vitamin D as a potentially useful Covid-19 drug. The vitamin is involved in the RAS system and could prove helpful by reducing levels of another compound, known as REN. Again, this could stop potentially deadly bradykinin storms from forming. The researchers note that vitamin D has already been shown to help those with Covid-19. The vitamin is readily available over the counter, and around 20% of the population is deficient. If indeed the vitamin proves effective at reducing the severity of bradykinin storms, it could be an easy, relatively safe way to reduce the severity of the virus. |
salford1:Trump doesn't know the meaning of Treason. The world is still waiting for the 'almighty', 'mother-of-all', charges of Obamagate. Barr defends Trump use of treason against Biden, Obama, insists it was 'colloquial.' Trump's own words suggest otherwise https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/barr-defends-trump-treason-biden-obama-insists-colloquial/story?id=72797684&cid=clicksource_4380645_1_heads_hero_live_headlines_hed Attorney General William Barr argued in an interview Wednesday that President Trump's repeated allegations of "treason" against political opponents he believes targeted his presidency is a phrase that the president uses "colloquially," rather than literally. "Treason is a legal term," Barr told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "I think he’s using it colloquially. To commit treason, you actually have to have a state of war with a foreign enemy, but I think he feels that they were involved in an injustice, and if he feels that, he can say it." Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution states that the legal standard for convicting a person of treason "shall consist only in levying war against [the U.S.], or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort." But a review of Trump's frequent past use of the term, which he primarily uses to denigrate those he believes were involved in launching the investigation of his presidential campaign's ties to Russia in 2016, shows how Trump nearly always connects the phrase directly to the prospect of sending his enemies to prison. |
US employers added 1.4 million jobs in August, unemployment rate at 8.4% https://abcnews.go.com/Business/us-employers-added-14-million-jobs-august-unemployment/story?id=72769864&cid=clicksource_4380645_1_heads_hero_live_headlines_hed U.S. employers added 1.4 million jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell to 8.4%, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said in its latest employment report on Friday. While the fresh data may indicate some hope for an economy walloped by the COVID-19 crisis, the unemployment rate still isn't anywhere near pre-pandemic levels. In February, the unemployment rate was 3.5%. "Looking at one month of job gains doesn’t provide the appropriate context, you really need to look and see how far we still are in the hole," Elise Gould, a senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute think tank, told ABC News ahead of the report's release. "In April, we lost more than 20 million jobs in one month. It's going to take months, if not years, to get back to that level." The unemployment rate is now lower than 10% for the first time since the pandemic started, which was the high seen during the Great Recession. |
Jason Mesich Shot Wife To Death In Bloomington, Then Shot 2 Sisters Who Lived Next Door https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/09/01/charges-jason-mesich-shot-wife-to-death-then-shot-2-sisters-who-lived-next-door-ages-12-and-29/ Jason Michael Mesich, 48, faces three 2nd-degree murder charges for the death of his wife, and for shooting two sisters who are his Bloomington neighbors — including a 12-year-old girl who was shot in the head. The Hennepin County Attorney’s office says officers were called to a home on the 8300 block of 15th Avenue Sunday at about 11 p.m. on several reports of gunshots being fired and possible victims. They arrived to the sound of more gunshots being fired inside the home. Officers went to the home’s detached garage and found the body of 47-year-old Angela Lynn Mesich. She had been shot several times in the neck and upper torso. After a standoff, police entered the home and found Jason Mesich in the basement, where he continued firing a gun, screaming and throwing things. He eventually surrendered to officers. Mesich is estimated to have fired 40 rounds during his standoff with police. Officers then learned two of Mesich’s next-door neighbors, who are sisters, had been shot. WCCO spoke with the victims’ aunt Monday, who identified them as 12-year-old Makayla and 29-year-old Canisha. Makayla was shot in the head. She is in critical condition as of Tuesday, and her family says she’s heavily sedated. Canisha was shot several times in the legs and left hip, and is in serious condition. Mesich told investigators that he doesn’t remember much about the shootings, but said it all started because he and his wife had an argument in the garage about the couple’s lack of sex. He said he “probably” went into the home and got a gun. When he returned to the garage, he said his wife tried to hit him, so he punched her in the collarbone with two fists. He then said she told him to shoot her, and that he assumed he did so, and assumed he “emptied” the gun to make sure she was dead. White man, armed, fired 40 rounds during standoff with police and arrested alive - a good example of 'white priviledge' What will be the outcome if Jason Mesich is a black man?

BREAKING NEWS: Russia voicing claims of mail-in voter fraud, according to Intel Bulletin https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/russia-amplifying-claims-mail-voter-fraud-intel-bulletin/story?id=72799959&cid=clicksource_4380645_1_heads_hero_live_twopack_hed Russia has sought to “amplify” concerns over the integrity of U.S. elections by promoting allegations that mail-in voting will lead to widespread fraud, according to an intelligence bulletin obtained by ABC News, again echoing a frequent and unfounded complaint raised by President Donald Trump. Analysts with the Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence branch issued the warning on Thursday to federal and state law enforcement partners after finding with “high confidence” that “Russian malign influence actors” have targeted the absentee voting process “by spreading disinformation” since at least March. “Russian state media and proxy websites in mid-August 2020 criticized the integrity of expanded and universal vote-by-mail, claiming ineligible voters could receive ballots due to out-of-date voter rolls, leaving a vast amount of ballots unaccounted for and vulnerable to tampering,” the bulletin notes. “These websites also alleged that vote-by-mail processes would overburden the U.S. Postal Service and local boards of election,” it continues, “delaying vote tabulation and creating more opportunities for fraud and error.” https://www.scribd.com/document/474711820/DHS-Russia-Intel-Sept-3-2020-Voting-w-Redactions Now we know how Trump is getting his own information about mailing in votes |

Joe Biden set to visit Kenosha today and meet with family of Jacob Blake https://eu.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/09/03/biden-set-visit-kenosha-and-meet-jacob-blakes-family/5700877002/ Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, are set to visit Kenosha today, two days after President Donald Trump swept into the city that has been shaken by shootings and unrest. The two trips are likely to offer stark contrasts in tone, substance and style. But the stakes couldn't be any clearer as Biden and Trump battle for support in battleground Wisconsin, where the most recent Fox News Poll showed the challenger with an 8-point lead over the president among likely voters. During his stop Tuesday, the Republican president toured burned out buildings and spoke with law enforcement officials about the need to quickly end the kind of arson and looting the city saw last week. The Democratic nominee has condemned Kenosha’s unrest but is putting his focus on the event that sparked it — the shooting of Jacob Blake from behind by police officer Rusten Sheskey. "We've got to heal, we've got to put things together, bring people together" Biden told reporters Wednesday in Wilmington, Del. Tensions have eased in Kenosha in recent days. A curfew was lifted. This is Biden's first trip to Wisconsin during the campaign. Taking health precautions because of the coronavirus pandemic, Biden stayed away from Milwaukee two weeks ago for the Democratic National Convention, which was turned into an almost entirely virtual event. Meanwhile, Trump came to Oshkosh the day the Democratic convention opened and has mocked Biden for staying away from a state that Hillary Clinton famously didn’t visit during the 2016 general election. Biden will meet with the family of Blake, who was paralyzed from the waist down after he was shot Aug. 23. Trump said he didn’t speak with Blake’s family because lawyers got involved in the process. As Trump visited Kenosha, the Blake family said they wanted focus not on the president but on bringing the community together. |

Fox News Poll: Biden tops Trump among likely voters in key states https://www.foxnews.com/official-polls/fox-news-poll-biden-tops-trump-among-likely-voters-in-key-states Democrat Joe Biden is ahead in three key states that President Donald Trump won in 2016, according to new Fox News statewide surveys of Arizona, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. Support for reelecting Trump falls below his 2016 vote share in each state. At the same time, there’s room for improvement, as more voters approve of his job performance than back his reelection. Biden’s advantage comes from strong support among women and suburban voters. Moreover, suburban women in all three states trust Biden over Trump to handle coronavirus and policing/criminal justice. Interest in the election is roughly the same among both Biden and Trump supporters. In all three states, a sizeable number of voters plan to cast their ballot by mail -- and in each state, many more Democrats than Republicans plan to do so. The surveys, conducted after both national conventions ended, include results among likely voters for the first time this cycle. This is also the first time the presidential vote preference question includes the names of both the presidential and vice presidential candidates -- plus the Libertarian and Green Party candidates are now included when they are on the state’s ballot. These differences mean no apples-to-apples comparison to past survey results. While Election Day is two months away, voters can request and return absentee ballots starting this week in North Carolina and mid-September in Wisconsin. In Arizona, absentee ballots are available early October. Conducted August 29-September 1, 2020 under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company (R).
