Thanks for that explanation. I learn something every day, and that was a nice piece of information.

Me also Steve. Perhaps slightly less concerned due to receiving my second Pfizer shot today.

I know people are really excited about the NFL and football and for sure the Super Bowl. But I don't see how they could assume the right to put other peoples lives in danger by not wearing a mask. But then again, if you drive around in Miami/South Florida for a few hours, you will soon realize many truly strange thing happen here...lol

I quess the only real action we can take is to protect ourselves and families to the extent that is possible by understanding the real risk and using whatever mitigation is available.

Perhaps all this is another reason to use BIAB...to distract myself from thinking so much.

I have been searching for any double blind studies relating to the use of anti-asthmatic agents, inhaled corticosteroids, ICS, beclomethasone, budesonide, fluticasone, mometasone furoate, ciclesonide, flunisolide.

There is positive anecdotal evidence of these corticosteroids being useful as posted by Noel and others. I have read reports from Oxford University that provide some science related to this issue. Oxford has done a rapid review of evidence for treatment or prevention of Covid-19 using corticosteroids.

I have not found any controlled human testing to look at. I seen reports that South Korea may be doing some trials.

I am looking for hard scientific data if it exist, on both in vitro and in vivo studies.
I know that China has done some limited testing.

I have a fairly developed general concept of how corticosteroids work and have some reason to believe they may be very useful...just my unproven thinking/guessing. I was vaguely aware that steroids were being used/tested but Noel got me to seriously digging into this. Thanks Noel...I think...lol

If any of you know of such data please inform me.

Cheers,

Billy

EDIT: If any of you have a interest in the mRNA vaccine and would like to read about the human genome this is a site that can explain in understandable terms how it works. https://www.genome.gov/human-genome-project

Very interesting read thank you. I've been using asthma preventors and inhalers for years so this was a great piece of news thanks. In the UK I think we've had one of the highest death rates in the world. Too many morons telling us it's a hoax.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
