FDA approved it the other day.  Besides, medical professionals have known for decades that this malaria drug is pretty harmless with few side affects, it was "fully tested" decades ago.

 

 

Yeah, I saw where the FDA approved releasing it to some people, but it all depends on other drug interactions and each patient. Not as simple as say here take this once you test positive. 

Hoping this does start to work as we went to 2k to 3k in deaths in less than 24 hours 

It's about fucking time.

It has a pretty long, established history.  I think the main issue is if it truly is effective, or the most effective option.   They aren't/can't do controlled testing, so you need thousands of trials to determine if it's working because 95% of hospital patients would recover on their own (some with help from a respirator).

Secondary to that, and with other trials, is when is the most effective time to administer?  As a preventive, or early after onset of symptoms?  But I don't think the use/approval of this would be progressing if there wasn't reason for continued optimism. 

If we found just a few drugs that worked even 50% of the time, we could reduce mortality down to levels seen in a bad flu season.

How delusional and entitled do you have to be to call up the Director of WHO and ask how you - a non-health professional - can help?  I assume Dr. Fauci must have ignored her calls.

GaGa: "What can I do to help?"

Director: "You could write a big check"

GaGa: "I mean, sure, but what else?"

Director: "Stop wasting my time calling me?"

That's fucking insanity.  Do this shit weeks at a time, tops, not months.  So fucking stupid. 

Eh, I get why they are.  Curves tend to have a decline that mirrors the incline, and since we're not even to the apex.  The downswing is going to take awhile.

June 10th might be a bit extreme, but I'd wager that if we get to mid-May and things are already under control, they'll rescind it early.

Some good corona news out of Italy as it seems daily case #s are slowly trending downward, while also the number of tests are increasing.  Good sign and I hope the trend continues. 

Praise God, man.  I'm glad to hear this.  Keep us posted.

You missed an opportunity.

So Fredo has the 1-9....I wonder if he'll take the malaria drug, and then deny if it works?

North Korea still claims to be virus free.  What a miracle.  The Dear Leader probably developed his own cure.  Pretty cool.  Not as cool as his dad shooting a 38 with 11 holes in one on a championship golf course his first time playing golf, but cool nonetheless.

Reminds me of the North Korea virus meme:

Number of Infectees

8:00 -- 1

8:04 -- 0

11:14 -- 1

11:18 -- 0

And so on.

Illinois just sent an emergency alert to everyone’s cell phone, asking for healthcare workers to sign up to work temporarily at hospitals. That of course is sending everyone into a frenzy.

Headed off next Saturday for 10 days in Europe...not even packing hand sanitizer. Hell, I might even lick a few handrails while I'm there lol.

Freezing cold take. 
Fish—you alive?

I love that she's flipping her shit on these kids, getting up in their window, touching their window, because they're out during a shelter-in-place WHILE SHE'S ALSO OUT DURING A SHELTER-IN-PLACE.

Nothing is worse than the fbook or next door busybodies. Oh I saw 5 kids skateboarding, ok bitch no one cares. There’s also 7,000 people at Costco. Our city just did a shelter in place for 14 days but doesn’t seem like it changes much

Amazing how quickly this can happen

My cousin is a nurse in Michigan. 
 

She has been tested today because she has a mild case of all the symptoms. 
 

She is in self quarantine in her house, separated from her husband who is a firefighter/paramedic. 
 

He is to also self quarantine until her test result comes back (48 hours) or 14 days. 
 

They are both healthy in their mid 40s. The scary part is her mom and step dad live close to them and are over all the time. Her step dad has health problems and they are in their mid to late 60s. 
 

Based on the fact she has every symptom, down to the altered taste, I am 99% sure she has it. Just hope she didn’t pass it to her mom. 
 

My daughter working the CVS drive thru window had a customer come through and as he left told her to stay safe...then told her he tested positive.

Fucking people. She won’t be home for Easter for sure.

I'm with you brother, Call me "Mr Tin Foil" all you want but I'm seeing too many stories about doctors from China being detained at Detroit, Los Angeles, etc airports with vials of H1N1 & SARS in their briefcases by the FBI. One in Los Angeles right about the time this broke in Wuhan, before we knew about it.

Back in September students from China were walking around at Mount Union with these face masks on before Covid was even a thing.

China got drilled in the ass by Trump and I think this was their best "payback" and attempt to become dominant.

I don't believe this pandemic was any accident and I'll stick by my stance of "fuck China."
