| MI -- 14.7% death rate for COVID-19 outbreak among long term care immunized patients |

| [RecordEagle] TRAVERSE CITY MICHIGAN -- Five deaths at the Grand Traverse Pavilions have been attributed to a COVID-19 outbreak at the county-owned, long-term care facility, according to officials. Since the Nov. 5 outbreak started, 34 residents and 12 staff members tested positive for the virus, said Rose Coleman, interim CEO/administrator. Of those, five died, 23 are fully recovered and moved back to their rooms and six remain in a COVID-19 unit at the facility. Article goes on to state that all the residents who tested positive had been vaccinated in previous months. The Pavilions had just started giving booster shots to residents when this outbreak occurred. So far, this is the only outbreak of COVID at the facility. Genotyping was performed and the variant was found to be Delta, and "appears to be resistant to the vaccine we currently have," per Coleman. A majority of the newly infected residents received monoclonal antibody treatments which Coleman thought were highly effective. |

| #8 A dear friend here in Cincinnati came down with Covid a month ago. The emergency room doctor prescribed Ivermectin plus antibiotics for the secondary pneumonia infection — she had no problem obtaining either one. It sounds like difficulties getting either Ivermectin or monoclonal antibodies are specific to certain states, certain doctors, or certain pharmacies rather than universal, which is unfair to those unlucky enough to be in the wrong place or dealing with the wrong person. |

| #4 /\ Exactly correct. Few make it out to regain employment on the railroad or hardware store. Adding their numbers to the mix, strengthens fears of the pandemic....and the CRISIS !!!! |

| #3 People in long term care — generally elderly, in poor health, and statistically likely to die in the near future even without help — are among the most susceptible to the virus, and the ones whose immune system is the least responsive to the vaccine. How does this death rate at this facility compare to the same facility before Covid and to previous times Covid came into the building? |
