Donald John Trump signs

Andy | September 24, 2021

While I’m no fan of Donald Trump, I have to admire the homemade roadside signs and displays you see in favor of his candidacy along rural road sides.

There is something neat about home painted signs or even displays like that of a model Donald Trump riding a snowmobile in North Brookfield, NY or riding a fake missile in Bald Eagle, Penna. It’s just piles of junk bolted together but it shows creativity and passion, far more than just store bought political sign placed on a lawn briefly before chucked in a burn barrel or sent to the landfill.

Clinical trials underway on pill to treat COVID-19 – pennlive.com

Clinical trials that are part of an international effort to test an antiviral treatment aimed at halting COVID-19 early in its course, are currently underway.

According to a report by NBC News, researchers are testing a “short-term regimen of daily pills” that when begun shortly after diagnosis can fight the virus early and possibly prevent symptoms from developing after exposure.

Timothy Sheahan, a virologist at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill who has helped pioneer the therapies, explained that in addition to curtailing the duration of one’s COVID-19 syndrome “oral antivirals have the potential to limit transmission to people in your household if you are sick.”
