Maybe inside top 25. I guess if you specialized in female sports/picnic games like badminton, perception of you globally goes down. US got lots of FAT  people but elite athletes and sports programs are still one of the best in the world.</description>

Why pretend when they already fuck boys and guys. Taliban should just embrace their homosexuality. At least they&amp;#39;re not killing them (or unreported?) so progress at least.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b4/29/93/b429932b2932b7c391ae9364a839b5a0.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;</description>

The drug’s discoverers were awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine for its treatment of onchocerciasis, a disease caused by infection with a parasitic roundworm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years, it has been used for other indications, including scabies and head lice. Moreover, in the last decade, several clinical studies have started to show its antiviral activity against viruses ranging from HIV and the flu to Zika and West Nile.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;The drug is also extremely economical. A study published in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Therapeutics showed that the cost of ivermectin for other treatments in Bangladesh is around &amp;#036;0.60 to &amp;#036;1.80 for a five-day course. It costs up to &amp;#036;10 a day in Israel, Schwartz said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Schwartz’s study, some 89 eligible volunteers over the age of 18 who were diagnosed with coronavirus and staying in state-run COVID-19 hotels were divided into two groups: 50% received ivermectin, and 50% received a placebo, according to their weight. They were given the pills for three days in a row, an hour before a meal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The volunteers were tested using a standard nasopharyngeal swab PCR test with the goal of evaluating whether there was a reduction in viral load by the sixth day – the third day after termination of the treatment. They were swabbed every two days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly 72% of volunteers treated with ivermectin tested negative for the virus by day six. In contrast, only 50% of those who received the placebo tested negative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN ADDITION, the study looked at culture viability, meaning how infectious the patients were, and found that only 13% of ivermectin patients were infectious after six days, compared with 50% of the placebo group – almost four times as many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Our study shows first and foremost that ivermectin has antiviral activity,” Schwartz said. “It also shows that there is almost a 100% chance that a person will be noninfectious in four to six days, which could lead to shortening isolation time for these people. This could have a huge economic and social impact.”&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;Only five patients were referred to hospitals, with four of them being in the placebo arm. One ivermectin patient went to the hospital complaining of shortness of breath on the day of recruitment. He continued with the ivermectin treatment and was sent back to the hotel a day later in good condition.&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FDA and WHO won&amp;#39;t recommend it. Big pharma might get upset.</description>

It said that there were no fatal or even clinically evident BV infections in China before, thus the vet&amp;#39;s case marks the first human infection case with BV identified in China.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Researchers have collected the cerebrospinal fluid of the veterinarian in April and identified him as positive for BV, yet samples of his close contacts suggested negative results for the virus. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The virus, initially isolated in 1932, is an alphaherpesvirus enzootic in macaques of the genus Macaca. It can be transmitted via direct contact and exchange of bodily secretions; and has a fatality rate of 70 percent to 80 percent. &lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are they rawdogging monkey corpses down there in Beijing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bubonic Plague, Spanish flu, Sars, H2N2, H3N2, Avian flu, and now Monkey B. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good job.</description>
