That might be difficult. I recall reading that George is now in the music Industry. Sources tell me he has gone underground and is currently decomposing.

Following up on this.
Just got a chance to look at this data, which is available here - https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Week-Sex-and-Age/vsak-wrfu
I exported, sorted by "All Sexes" and then the various age groups. Also note that the current peak numbers may go up a little more since death reporting lags
25-34: current peak - 264 weekly covid deaths, previous high point - 174 weekly deaths (52% increase)
35-44: current peak - 596 weekly covid deaths, previous high point - 403 weekly deaths (48% increase)
45-54: current peak - 1262 weekly covid deaths, previous high point - 1176 weekly deaths (7% increase)
55-64: current peak - 2077 weekly covid deaths, previous high point - 3210 weekly deaths (33% decrease)
65-74: current peak - 2482 weekly covid deaths, previous high point - 5855 weekly deaths (58% decrease)
75-84: current peak - 2181 weekly covid deaths, previous high point - 7417 weekly deaths (71% decrease)
So a couple interesting things here:
1. The 25-34 and 35-44 age groups are seeing significant increases in covid deaths vs. the prior peak. I think that certainly indicates that overall Delta may be more dangerous. Now, it may not necessarily be more dangerous on a per case basis, but if it's more contagious, more cases will equal more deaths. And I know you also may need to factor in that people are likely taking less precautions than during the earlier waves.
2. However, the effect of vaccinations is clear. Ages 55+ which of course are the most vaccinated groups have all seen a significant decrease in covid deaths compared to the prior peak (all of which occurred in January so wouldn't count the initial murders of nursing home residents). I'm sure some may try to argue that "the weak ones already died!" but that wouldn't explain this big of a dropoff (and I also didn't include 85+ in this number where maybe you could say something like that), and if that were the case it should have been the case across the board.
It's been a while since I spammed this thread with wrestling content, so... How about Bo pinning a buckeye?
Double bump for the people who insist on ruining other threads.
Good news about the rational policy for the 2022 Winter Olympics and mandated vaccines (below). It is way beyond time to stop coddling the purveyors of misinformation and the snowflakes who refuse to see the problem as a public health crisis rather listen to their whimpering excuses, reckless individualism, and don't tread-on-me adolescent libertarianism.
Now, it's Penn State administration's turn to move beyond its pigeon-hearted and pathetic juggling act and its pandering to Harrisburg politicos and Pennsyltucky no-nothings and mandate the damn vaccine so classes and campuses can return to semi-normal and faculty and students aren't required to wear masks all day. More than 800 universities now require the vaccine.
Penn State is still bending in the wind like a rudderless institution. The motto of the administration should be "We always do the right thing ... once it is too late."

Reason for Not Requiring Vaccinations? Penn State Would Rather Not Say
When an organization offers a non-explanation as an explanation, you can’t help suspecting that it doesn’t want you to know the real explanation, probably

She may have a point re: the risk of myocarditis in young men, but then she goes off the rails talking about the ingredients which IMO makes her lose most of the credibility she may have had.
I'm not a vaccine expert, but sounds like her claim of "Polyethylene Glycol being in antifreeze" is false. That's ethylene glycol, and Polyethylene Glycol is in other things such as Miralax. Looks like that may be a common antivax argument. Here's some links from 2013 and 2018 respectively so haven't been biased by covid:
Vaccine Ingredients: Frequently Asked Questions
All vaccines contain antigens. Antigens make vaccines work. They prompt the body to create the immune response needed to protect against infection. Antigens come in several forms. The form used in a vaccine is chosen because studies show it is the best way to protect against a particular infection.
Polyethylene Glycol Vs. Ethylene Glycol
Polyethylene glycol and ethylene glycol are very different compounds. In controlled amounts, polyethylene glycol is not harmful if ingested and is an ingredient in laxative medications. Ethylene glycol, by contrast, is very toxic and is best known for its use in antifreeze and deicer solutions.

It was looking bleak with the smoke filling up the valley from the forest fires. It reminded me of the lighting in the movie.
So your saying that the argument is based on ignorance and/or deliberate misinformation? I'm shocked.She may have a point re: the risk of myocarditis in young men, but then she goes off the rails talking about the ingredients which IMO makes her lose most of the credibility she may have had.

I'm not sure why she chose to say that PEG is used in antifreeze, which is a lie, when it actually is used in hydraulic fluid, cleaning solutions and polyurethane manufacture. But, that won't stop me from taking it to prep for my next colonoscopy.She may have a point re: the risk of myocarditis in young men, but then she goes off the rails talking about the ingredients which IMO makes her lose most of the credibility she may have had.

Ha ha! We are free associating! Just like with the snake-squirrel caption contest.
I will cite Churchill when the Penn State administration admits to culpability for being moral midgets. Or at least being traumatized by the Sandusky scandal. How about if we compromise, and the new (incoming) President hangs a shingle on his or her door that reads: "Sandusky slept (and sometimes still slumbers) here"?In the words of Winston Churchill:..........“Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.” I think you owe him money for copyright infringement

Why did you just do it again, when there was no need at the moment?
Ivermectin is the new hydroxychloroquine, take 2

It's ok, Dogwelder and I are buddies when it comes to wrestling topics. Not so much over here. I am good with that.
This one seemed pretty factual, and one can still be pro vaccine even if there are effective therapeutics out there.
Here is another topic. Run those educated Doc's who by chance also posess natural immunity due to prior CV infection out of town on a rail for not towing the line.

My daughter is a nurse. Her and her husband had been trying to have a baby for a long time and found out several weeks ago that she is pregnant. Her employer has started pressuring the nurses to be vaccinated but shes refusing to do it and said if it comes to losing her job she is willing to go ahead and lose her job. I dont know what to tell her. Just feel bad for her because she has worked like a dog taking care of covid patients, actually got covid herself during the early stages of the virus hitting and passed it on to her hubby as well. Shes looking into getting some sort of waiver but still feel bad the way all our nurses are being treated after all they have been through the past couple years.
My wife's OB recommended getting the shot after the 1st trimester is over, so hopefully she's only a couple weeks away
Wishing her the absolute best. I truly hope everything works out for her......Grandpa

RMG, I think it should be pointed out that your message 1146 was a link to a blog post from a blogger oncologist. Why does your doctor that doesn't have expertise in this field carry more sway than Google's doctor that doesn't have expertise in this field? Because he confirms your biases?
Why would she not get the vaccine to protect herself and baby?
I'll get back to you once I talk to my mechanic, plumber and electrician.
. Seriously......what is an "Expert"?? .......In the early-mid 70's ..in college.....I attended numerous lectures on "Global Warming/Greenhouse Effect etc" I listened to an "Expert" with several Doctorates and Awards and publications as long as my arm describe in detail how the Earth was headed for an Ice Age because of increased CO2 blocking incoming sunlight.....cooling the planet and dooming us to Ice Ages. Of course the next "Expert" had just as many Doctorates and awards/Publications who argued that the increase in CO2 would cause exactly the opposite.....,dooming us to increasing temperatures by "Trapping in" the Sun's heat. Imagine my confusion. I shared this experience with my students every year. I told my students to think and research for themselves. I defined an "Expert" as "Someone who can no longer spert". I stand by that to this day. The passage of time will and has revealed which "Expert" was most accurate. Beware of the "Experts"
I never stated that the doctor from my link held more sway. I was simply showing that for every post he puts up there is another that refutes it. I have never posted a link to an article to show my beliefs are correct, they have only been a response to his posts. Honestly, I know what this thread is for and wish it would die but lets at least let it be balanced to show that there are two sides to every story. He posts articles to prove his point, mainly unprovoked posts where as so am only posting links that show the other side to his posts.
Did your proctologist confirm that you are a huge ass or that you just talk out of it? I kid😂
I'm not an expert yet...but I'll be one before this thread dies.
I don't know. You should ask RMG.I'll get back to you once I talk to my mechanic, plumber and electrician.
