"DataRobot makes move into COVID-19 monitoring; The Boston tech company says it can help people know their risk of transmitting the virus" by Andy Rosen Globe Staff, February 26, 2021
DataRobot, the Boston-based tech company focused on artificial intelligence software, is moving into the business of monitoring coronavirus infections with a product it says will help businesses, governments, and health systems detect early signs of contagion.
That's the Curative for COVID as we Evolv.
The company has unveiled a testing kit that scans for antigens ― bits of viral protein ― that could be a sign of asymptomatic infection. DataRobot said its technology can be used to let people know their level of risk for transmitting the virus, and to help determine the prevalence of cases in a community.
“What we really focused on here is how do we get the information we need to allow for better decision making on an individual and a population level,” said Sally Embrey, DataRobot’s vice president of public health and health technologies.
F**k you, you medical fa$ci$ts and totalitarian $cum.
There is no asymptomatic transmission because by scientific definition they are noninfectious.
The level of pre$$ lies used to promote this massive fraud against the people has become downright criminal. They are the ones who should be swept up in a net.
The program, called ContagionNET, allows participants to regularly administer their own nasal swabs and analyze them with a device that will look for antigens related to the virus that causes COVID-19. Users can use their smartphones to interpret the results, but the company emphasized that the program is not a coronavirus test. It does not diagnose or even screen for infections, and has not been approved by federal regulators to do so. People who find they have some amount of antigens from the coronavirus will have to get additional tests to confirm whether they are actually infected.

"U.S. health officials are warning health professionals about the risk of false positive results with a widely used laboratory test for COVID-19 and flu. The Food and Drug Administration issued the alert to Friday for health facilities using Roche’s cobas test for coronavirus and seasonal flu. The agency warned that problems with the test’s processing tubes could result in false diagnosis in people who are not actually infected. Roche’s testing system is widely used to screen large batches of patient samples in hospitals and laboratories. The FDA recommends health workers test samples multiple times to help assure accuracy. If the test delivers conflicting results it may indicate a problem and use should be discontinued, the agency says."
OMG, all of a sudden they have discovered false positives!
Instead, DataRobot hopes its latest product can be a low-cost, high volume source of information about the course of the pandemic — especially in its later stages, when increasing vaccinations and declining numbers of confirmed cases could allow for more targeted public health measures. ContagionNET and other so-called surveillance programs could provide broad data detailing when and where people are showing signs of asymptomatic infection.
There they go again.
Embrey said better awareness of where there are signs of infection could help slow or stop outbreaks caused by new variants of the virus, the potential for gradual erosion of immunity among people who have had COVID-19, and the likelihood that many people will refuse to be vaccinated.
“We certainly don’t think that COVID-19 is over,” Embrey said. “We are seeing trends that are going down; however, with the unknowns with variants, we don’t know how that’s going to evolve over the next couple months.”
Oh, I think we do.
It's all a script!
People who use the ContagionNET program will get a pack of 15 swabs to check themselves periodically, with the timing determined by an algorithm. About 250 people already are using the system — many of them DataRobot employees, but Embrey said the company has the ability to scale up quickly, potentially giving it the ability to analyze millions of swabs.
The company has been involved in other aspects of the pandemic response, helping with data related to the recruitment in participants for vaccine trials, for instance.
DataRobot has about 50 people working on ContagionNet, but it does not anticipate making money from the effort. The company said it only expects the program to cover its costs, and that the current goal is to get the price for the organizations who use it down to about $3 for each swab produced and analyzed. The price now is between $6 and $7.
PFFFFT!
Why LIE about it?
Looking forward to escaping into summer, are you?
"How this summer could bring the pandemic relief we’re longing for" by William Wan Washington Post, February 26, 2021
There is a good chance that by summer, America will look and feel very different than our current isolated lives. Eating inside a restaurant or a friend’s house may no longer be controversial. Cookouts and summer vacations may return. Many aspects of life will be reminiscent of a time before coronavirus — as long as vaccinations continue to increase and Americans stay careful during the spring, when more highly-transmissible variants could proliferate and lead to an increase in cases, according to interviews with more than a dozen epidemiologists, modelers, and virologists.
“There are wild card factors that could change this, but I’ve been telling people if there are things you’ve been wanting to do, think July or late summer,” said Jeffrey Shaman, an infectious-disease expert who leads the modeling team at Columbia University.
Oh, him again!
Already RUINING SUMMER with their $HIT MODELS and OUTRIGHT LIES!
Some of the growing reasons for optimism: Cases, hospitalizations, and deaths have fallen steeply the past few weeks in the United States and worldwide. The World Health Organization reported an 11 percent global decline in cases last week, and a 20 percent drop in deaths. More than 46 million Americans have received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine, and supply is poised to increase dramatically.
Widespread vaccination is the key to having the kind of summer everyone wants — even if there is an increase in cases during early spring. By July 1, roughly 46 percent of the US population — about 153 million people — could be vaccinated, according to projections by data scientist Youyang Gu, whose past models have been cited by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This is ATROCIOUS EVIL passing itself off as "journalism."
President Biden said the United States will have enough supply to vaccinate 300 million Americans by the end of July; Anthony Fauci, the government’s leading infectious-disease expert, predicted this month that all Americans will likely be eligible to receive a vaccine by late May or early June, and long before that, the country’s oldest and most vulnerable will have been fully vaccinated, sending the death rate plummeting.
Residents at one senior living community in Virginia Beach have already glimpsed what that future may look and feel like. Nearly all of the 700 seniors at Westminster-Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay have now received their second vaccine dose, and 80 percent of the staff.
“There’s just pure joy in the air, a feeling of renewal that’s just palpable,” said John Wolfe, president of the resident’s association. There hasn’t been an active COVID case since late December.
Never mind the schools that had to be closed and the case surges in nursing homes after the shots. The pre$$ is completely ignoring that, proving their malicious intent and why would it be a surprise after lying us into mass-murdering exercises they call wars.
Weather is another reason experts are optimistic about summer: warmer temperatures will allow more people to congregate outside, where conditions are less hospitable to the spread of the virus, rather than indoors, where coronavirus thrives.
That's odd because LAST YEAR WE WERE TOLD the EXACT OPPOSITE!
So what is different between then and now, huh?
Only one thing I can think of, and his name starts with a T.
For the past year, Natalie Dean, an assistant professor of biostatistics at University of Florida, said, “the virus won’t be gone by summer, but we’ll at least have some joy back in our lives,” but if the past year has taught researchers one thing, it is how wily, resourceful, and unpredictable coronavirus can be. Experts who believe that summer could be relatively normal remain cautious about the near-term as highly-transmissible variants are circulating that could cause a spring spike in cases and as pandemic-weary Americans tire of restrictions. Continuing to be careful for just a little longer as more people get vaccinated can help ensure the summer people want to have, experts said.
“It’s clear there isn’t going to be some on/off switch where we wake up and the virus is gone,” said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Georgetown University. “How it all turns out depends on a lot on the virus’ behavior but also on us humans and what we choose to do,” and the sharp decrease in cases over past few weeks appears to have slowed.
“The latest data suggest that these declines may be stalling. Potentially leveling off,” said CDC director Rochelle Walensky Friday. “It’s still a very high number. We at CDC consider this a very concerning shift in the trajectory.”
She added: “We may be done with the virus, but clearly the virus is not done with us.”
I view all the "experts" who are nothing more than paid-off $hills, as top level criminals who should be jailed forever.

Biden says everything will be back to normal by July 4th, but that's a tall order even to the Globe.

"States should maintain Covid-19 restrictions such as mask wearing and capacity limitations as case numbers halt their decline, the head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday, citing the circulation of new variants and infection rates that remain alarmingly high. CDC Director Rochelle Walensky issued a sobering warning during a press briefing Friday, where she said the more contagious B.1.1.7 variant, first found in the U.K., now accounts for an estimated 10% of current U.S. cases, and that variants in California and New York also appear to spread more easily. “Things are tenuous -- now is not the time to relax restrictions,” Walensky said. “The latest data suggest that these declines may be stalling, potentially leveling off at still a very high number. We at the CDC consider this a very concerning shift in the trajectory.” Cases have been falling since mid-January, but have leveled off over the past week at roughly 70,000 new cases a day -- equivalent to the number of cases seen at last summer’s peak. Hospitalizations are also falling though appear to be slowing their decline. Deaths have reversed a decline in recent days. “We may be done with the virus but clearly the virus is not done with us,” Walensky said. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, echoed the warning, saying people shouldn’t be lulled into a sense of complacency with case counts still remaining so high. “We really have to be careful and take a look at that curve,” he said. “If we plateau at 70,000, we are at that very precarious position that we were right before the fall surge, where anything that could perturb that could give us another surge.” The U.S. has administered nearly 70 million doses of vaccine, and supply is expected to continue to increase next month -- even more so if the Johnson & Johnson vaccine receives emergency use authorization, which could happen in coming days. “We think it is a mistake to take our foot off the gas too early -- especially when we’re accelerating our vaccination efforts right now,” said Andy Slavitt, a White House aide working on the pandemic response."
This is LITERALLY insanity, folks.
"For people who have had Covid-19, a single dose of the Pfizer vaccine is enough to provide robust protection from the coronavirus, according to two new studies from Britain that were published late Thursday in The Lancet, a prominent medical journal. The studies, among the first fully vetted papers to weigh in on how to vaccinate people who have had Covid-19, added strong evidence to the case for inoculating people who already have antibodies against the virus — but only with one dose of the Pfizer vaccine. One of the studies, led by researchers at University College London and Public Health England, described the benefits of that strategy. “This could potentially accelerate vaccine rollout,” they said, and that in turn could forestall dangerous new mutations: “Wider coverage without compromising vaccine-induced immunity could help reduce variant emergence,” the paper said. In recent weeks, several studies on the topic were posted online that were not yet published in scientific journals, showing that one dose of a coronavirus vaccine amplified people’s antibodies from an earlier infection....."
You are already immune and will be for decades so there is NO NEED for the VACCINE, but that science contradicts the narrative and is flushed down the pre$$ memory hole.
The benefit of the single-dose strategy, however, will spare people who have already been infected from the unpleasant side effects that sometimes follow a booster shot in study led by scientists at Imperial College London (the Gates-funded liars who modeled 2 million dead by now) while is still not clear how long the post-vaccine immune response will last in people as:
"Canadian regulators on Friday authorized AstraZeneca’s coronavirus vaccine for all adults. It is the third COVID-19 vaccine given the green light by Canada, following those from Pfizer and Moderna. “This is very encouraging news. It means more people vaccinated, and sooner,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, adding that the nation of 38 million people will now get 6.5 million vaccines in total before the end of March, 500,000 more now with the new approval. Health Canada approved the AstraZeneca vaccine for use in people 18 and over, expressing confidence it would work for the elderly even though some countries, including France, have authorized it only for use in people under 65, saying there is not enough evidence it works in older adults. With trials showing about 62% efficacy, the vaccine appears to offer less protection than those already authorized, but experts have said any vaccine with an efficacy rate of over 50% could help stop the outbreak. “It’s a good option,” said Dr. Supriya Sharma, Health Canada’s chief medical adviser. Sharma said no one has died or become severely ill in trials of the vaccines now approved by Canada or in those of Johnson & Johnson and Novavax shots, which could be approved soon.
[I'm going to interject there because that is a flat-out lie. Something like 21 countries have now halted AZ inoculations]
Health authorities in Germany and other countries have raised concerns that AstraZeneca didn’t test the vaccine in enough older people to prove it works for them, and indicated they would not recommend it for people over 65. Belgium has authorized it only for people 55 and under. Health Canada said its decision was based on pooled analyses from four ongoing clinical studies trials as well as data in countries where it has been approved. “Based on the totality of the information, the benefit-risk profile of AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine is positive for the proposed indication in adults 18 years and over,” Health Canada said in information posted online. “We’re starting to get real world evidence. There is evidence that in older age group it would be effective,” Sharma said.
[It's all a BIG EXPERIMENT, isn't it?
That's why they didn't test it on guinea pigs: because YOU ARE the guinea pig, human!]
Canada has now ordered 22 million doses of the AstraZeneca shot, which was co-developed by researchers at the University of Oxford. It will also receive up to 1.9 million doses through the global vaccine-sharing initiative known as COVAX by the end of June. Trudeau said 2 million of those doses will come from the Serum Institute of India, which Sharma said uses the same recipe but a slightly different method and was also approved. The AstraZeneca vaccine has already been authorized in more than 50 countries. It is cheaper and easier to handle than the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which needs deep-cold storage that is not widespread in many developing nations. Both vaccines require two shots per person, given weeks apart. Canada and many European countries have been struggling to vaccinate people as quickly as Britain, Israel, the U.S. and elsewhere Canada does not have domestic production and Trudeau’s government has been accused of not obtaining vaccines fast enough even while also being criticized for ordering enough doses overall to supply its population 10 times over. The AstraZeneca vaccine forms the bulk of COVAX’s stockpile and concerns were recently raised by an early study that suggested it might not prevent mild and moderate disease caused by the variant first seen South Africa. Last week, South Africa scaled back its planned rollout of the AstraZeneca vaccine, opting instead to use an unlicensed shot from Johnson & Johnson for its health care workers."
Like J&J is any more trustworthy after the talc scandal and here is what they know about the South African coronavirus variant officially dubbed B.1.351:
1. It’s highly contagious
2. It first emerged as early as October
3. It’s in at least 10 US states
4. It’s not the only variant in the United States
5. Some researchers suggest the strains may be resistant to the vaccines

"A wave of vaccine jitters rippled through the state Friday after a Quincy-based urgent care company began canceling second shot appointments for residents who’d already received first doses of the two-dose regimens. Until now, there have been few reports of Massachusetts residents being denied second shots after getting the first, despite a shortage of vaccines, but amid shifting state policy on which providers will receive limited shipments, some worry whether everyone will get their scheduled second doses, at least in the prescribed window to assure they’ll be fully immunized. The anxiety was clear this week in Amesbury, where residents who had their first vaccinations at a local church thought their second shots had been canceled after they received phone calls from the town Thursday saying the state had cut off its vaccine supply. They assumed that meant their appointments for shots from a private pharmacist at the church were being scrapped. By Friday, after many residents had spent hours online trying to find open vaccine slots elsewhere, they learned that their second shots at the church were still on schedule......"

Boston-based NOBULL, a six-year-old online brand, partnered with Artists for Humanity, a Boston nonprofit that connects under-resourced teens with paid jobs in art and design. NOBULL sells apparel and shoes for running, lifting, and cycling enthusiasts, and it has 1 million followers on Instagram. Artists for Humanity, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary in May, was founded to address the lack of arts programs in Boston Public Schools. Beyond exposing teens to the creative business economy, the nonprofit also offers tutoring and college readiness programs. Susan Rodgerson, the founding executive and artistic director of Artists For Humanity, said she hopes the nonprofit will inspire teens to pursue creative careers, and give them an edge by working on professional products at a young age. “Apparel design is not a very diverse field, so this is one step in the right direction,” she said. NOBULL, which has shipped products to about 120 countries from its fulfillment center in Franklin, has roughly 70 employees and expects to be closer to 150 by the end of the year......"
