COVID-19 (2): Turns out it's going to be pretty bad actually

We’re probably within 10 days of Trump saying hydroxychloroquine made things worse and that he was one of the first to say that.

Those trials were going to happen no matter what Trump said, hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were widely used on covid before Trump even said anything. And they should have happened, same with all the other approved-for-other disease drugs that showed effectiveness in vitro.

Yea and DeSantis said Florida has flattened the curve and is ready to open up again.

Yeah, well I don’t see anybody getting malaria lately, so there’s that.

Looks like most states had a bump around April 14. Folks breaking stay at home orders for Easter?

This is exactly the amount of work my 11 year old is doing. He’s in public school. I’m assigning him extra work on my own, having him read article on subjects he finds interesting and then write summaries. I also do PE with him every day. I’ve kind of given up on academics for this year and try to focus on having fun with him and keeping him emotionally healthy.

My 15 year old in private school has significantly more work. They have multiple Zoom meetings every day.

Does the white House still act on any petition that gets a bunch of signatures or was that just an Obama thing?

Up my way, the only noticeable things in short supply are TP, disinfectant wipes, bread yeast, and eggs. Everything else seems exactly the same as before so far. I wonder if they just got wiped out very recently near you due to the stimulus checks hitting for a lot of people?

Tesco trip report Scotland…

No Sugar :angry:

All I got was strange looks with my new T-shirt mask… Except the Till girl/Sales assistant who made plenty of room for me and even spoke outwith my direction… She’s a young Student and knows the score… :wink:

Everyone else except 2 people had masks on, Fuck this Place, 1 staff member that I seen and the one way System seems to have failed massively. :angry:

2 young yins though the’d have a snigger at my mask, until I said “And I’m still better looking than your mug” :sweat_smile:

WAAF + Peeps be restless… That’s me for the week…

Yes but would the military have hoarded doses needed for lupus and RA patients who are now struggling without? Would the price of certain stocks not spike? Would resources of been used better? Would fish tank cleaner guy be alive? We’re there other deaths caused by compassionate use side effects that would stilll be alive.

Stop being a level 0 thinker. You can do better. And I am serious. I am not trying to make fun of you or mock you. You need a wake-up call on the whole way you approach thinking about things. I’m not talking values. Stop and think before typing/speaking. Ask the question- am I missing something?

Are you single? Sounds like an opportunity with till girl. :laughing:

Apparently Tucker had some guy on who falsely claimed an affiliation with stanford saying like 100% had recovered after chloroquine or whatever. Maddow did a segment on it and noted the N was like 5 and 2 died or something. That’s probably the “Stanford Study.”

Maybe 20 years ago, Dan… :confused: Alough :shushing_face:

Would doses have been stockpiled? Almost surely. Again, this was being used all over the world before Trump ever said anything. And no stock’s value spiked because of Trump touting a generic medication manufactured by any company that has the ability to make it. Would some moron who drank fish tank cleaner instead of talking to his doctor about actual medicine still be alive? Maybe but he seems dumb enough to have drank something else fatal in the interim so who knows.

My point was that the trials that the drug has undergone were not frivolous or caused by Trump or a waste of time. They were necessary and reasonable. And the compassionate use of the drug by physcians was reasonable as well since there was not necessarily any other treatment available. The level 0 thinkers are the ones who reflexively try to tie every piece of news to Donald Trump.

The fervor about hydroxychloroquine was indeed dumb and a waste of time, with both the media and Donald Trump to blame. But that’s what both of them do, so if it wasn’t this dumb controversy it would be something else.
