Wife’s best friend’s nanny just tested positive, has been in and out of best friend’s house every day for weeks. Wife took a walk, outside with face coverings (bandana on my wife, not sure what the other wore), with best friend on Saturday.
Looking forward to Wall Street giving back that $1.5 Trillion from March.

I guess man. Maybe I’m just rude. But the margin of error on this is pretty important and I can always err on the side of caution.[/quote]
That’s great for you, personally, but people making decisions with limited resources need to know what the main dangers are and are not so they don’t wind up doing things that are counterproductive. I guess the CDC could just say “we have no idea how this spreads, you’re all on your own” and you’d be happy but that’s simply not true and not helpful.
Straight-up supervillain behavior from USA#1.

Tables 1A and 1P seem pretty important
It isn’t a game changer and in any case a lot of governments can simply say lol patents.

Gilead will have to allow other companies to produce it for a fee under their patent or risk that countries will just pass legislation to void the patent or set the fee for them.
Just btw hospitals are all in on preventing smear transmission. We do contact precautions (reserved for MRSA and the like) on top of airborne precautions for all Covid patients. Also just got an email from my other job (tiny rural hospital) that the county health department is recommended every one in my department to get a Covid test. Apparently 2 of my coworkers are poz.
Edit: The next chapter should definitely be titled Covid-19: Ooops.

Watching Fauci respond to Rand reminds me of why it’s just literally impossible to be pro-science and a Republican. Fauci speaks in a measured tone and doesn’t overstep his knowledge; Paul just soapboxes his worthless counterfactual assertions with no regard To nuance or the facts at hand

Trump’s willing to throw any amount of money necessary at this but refuses to do simple free shit like wear a mask, no wonder he bankrupted 4 casinos.

fwiw abbott (TX gov) said this basically the day before closing a bunch of businesses.
It’s perfect since he’s actually wiping all that snot from his nose and is like, what, DeSantis, do you want me to do with these covid boogers?
Anyone know if blood tests show if you currently have covid or are they only able to look for antibodies? Do you have antibodies built up while you are infected or only after you heal from infection?
My pocket of Charleston now taking this extremely seriously, including mandatory masks everywhere and temperature checks to enter some places. Pleasantly surprised.
Wife’s friend tested negative, friend’s kid (11) tested positive.
Well, if US is being charged $3k for a course and most other countries would pay like $100, hardly a surprise as the drug co. ramps up capacity.
This would likely violate various treaties. Not saying it’s a bad idea or that those treaties are well designed, but the US has been bullying on the IP front for many years.
