New lab tests for immunity
Since our response to SARS-COV-2 is also mediated by T cells, measuring T cell activation is critical to assess the full extent of a person’s immunity. A study done June 2022 demonstrated that T cell measures may be more useful than antibody titers (amounts) for level of immunity.
The existing antibody “im munity” test is expensive, time consuming, and doesn’t quan tify the level of immunity. This explains the FDA’s position on immunity testing for Covid.
1) natural immunity (could have a genetic component);

Within the past month, advances in analyzing the antibodies (IgM and IgG) to the receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 have occurred. These antibodies block the SARS-CoV-2 RBD from binding to ACE2, the human receptor that the virus uses to infect cells.

or temporary immunity. It has been reported that immu nity may last as long as eight months after Covid infection.
3) prior exposure to Covid, which then protects against future infections.
As of February 2022 the FDA has stated: “Currently authorized SARS-CoV-2 an tibody tests have not been evaluated to assess the level of protection provided by an immune response to COV ID-19 vaccination.”
SARS-CoV-2 and other vi ruses have shown a strong correlation between the amount of neutralizing an tibody circulating in an indi vidual’s bloodstream and their likelihood of infection.
Some “sick” individuals may assume their symptoms are cold or allergy-related and choose not to test. Although these individuals would have developed Covid antibodies, they may have low viral loads making at-home tests incapa ble of detection.
This is essential as vari ants like omicron evade most of the neutralizing ability of antibodies. In this way, tests that can measure T cells may provide more evidence of immunity towards emerging variants.Insummary, it is unlikely that an immunity test that all scientists and governing agencies agree is useful will be available immediately. As a result, we should continue to be mindful and take precau tions as one sees fit in regards to SARS-CoV-2 exposure.
Specifically, a test was de veloped that can detect the presence of antibodies that block the SARS-CoV-2 RBD from binding to ACE2.
Hopefully as vaccines con tinue to be refined, we may have lasting immunity postvaccination in the future as well as a reliable way to assess if we are immune.

Or is this a permanent version of what labor organizers would call a “sick-out”?Eitherway, some of these cops are getting generous retirement packages (costing the city money) after a career of complaints (costing the city money). One officer racked up more than $344,000 in misconduct settlements over the course of 12 years. He’s now receiving $56,000 a year in disability pension, on top of $195,000 in a workers comp settlement, according to records reviewed by Winter.

His friend Virgil Lee Jack son Jr., who was with him and beaten and tased for two min utes, also received a $645,000 settlement. The total is stag gering. An actuarial study by the city in 2021 estimated that legal claims made in the 15 days after Floyd’s murder would lead to Minneapolis paying out $111 million in lawsuit settlements.

“As long as there’s crime in our com munities, there will be a need for law enforcement,” Bottoms noted. “We want to make sure that we are hiring the right law enforcement officers, to make sure that officers receive the right training, make sure that we have a database that ensures that if someone is a bad officer, they can’t go and get a job in another jurisdiction.”

Federal support hasn’t kept up, administra tion officials stressed. Pell Grants once covered as much as 80% of the cost of a four-year public college degree for students from working fami lies. Now, those grants cover only one-third of the cost.
Alex Hands was also in the park with Lake Street Works, an organization that offers paid skill apprenticeships to high school students of color. “Through this apprentice program, we are working to eliminate generational poverty, and the best way to do this is to ensure that youth coming from at-risk backgrounds have a skill from which a livable wage can be earned,” Hands explained.

“Twenty years after first enrolling in school, the typical Black borrower who started college in the 1995-96 school year still owed 95% of their original student debt,” officials stated.

She shared her struggles with hair iden tity before choosing to love her natural crown just the way it grows from her scalp.

Humility is taboo in here, often viewed as being “soft” on inmates. They are told that inmates are manipulative, un trustworthy, criminals wait ing to take advantage of you. This is the mindset of most corrections officers.
You can call this a followup to the “Rush City Prison Promotes Violence” piece I wrote [MSR, Aug. 18]. I was approached by a corrections officer who wanted to say that they actually thought the article was “impressive,” but I failed to highlight some of the issues that the correc tions officers face.

I am a person that has been cursed with empathy, and I am also a student of log ic. So in all honesty, there are multiple sides to this complex story.One thing that all sides need to understand is that the ultimate goal of the De partment of Corrections is to rehabilitate citizens that commit crimes. The recidi vism rate would tell you that rehabilitation is not a focus in the D.O.C., that the rehabili tative “efforts” by the D.O.C. are grossly inefficient, like a 90%+ failure rate.

That’s a problem.

Opinion
If a criminal comes to prison to become a better criminal or a worse human, then what is the criminal jus tice system for? A system to quench our personal thirst for revenge? Crime is a learned behavior. Some people are born into crime, destined by their environment, but people that commit crimes are not crimes in themselves. Crime is an action.

He points out that be cause systemic inequities allowed White families to build more wealth, Black graduates have fewer re sources for paying back loans even if they make the same salaries as their White counterparts today.
So if the true goal of the D.O.C. is to rehabilitate, then why has it failed? We as a country can count on our hands how many failures we allow to go uncorrected. So my question is why?
