I guess that's the distinction and also the problem with this drug. If it were administered too early, it might do more damage than it would help. If it were administered too late, it's might not help enough.

I suppose this is why the clinical studies are being performed, and why there is so much bad information about it efficacy in their absence.

Communists China tried it but but didn't have enough "evidence" of it's effectiveness but the WHO decided to give it another go.

If I see something put into practice or a credible medical conclusion that reflects this I’ll let you know.

Well, the consensus is that you can't trust them.. So, I guess it's their fault on this too, that nobody wants to believe them... But maybe they knew we wouldn't believe them.... hmm

Lol .. I’d fire you and if I made it through I’d sue you if you refused to give it to me and make you show everyone in court why you did . After with the knowledge that other drugs you administer to patients on the daily is far more dangerous with worse or at this point any side effects .

Good luck.

Cuomo is stating simple facts about what’s happening. He’s not promoting anything. “What do you have to lose”, or “a gift from god” doesn’t come out of his mouth. Plus, you can diagram his spoken sentences, which may not matter, but it does help with credibility.

I didn't vote for Trump, but he actually uses the word "data" correctly and consistently with a plural verb and refers correctly to the Democrat (not Democratic) party.
There are some videos out there analyzing his tweets. (I use them to prep my students for SAT and ACT as sort of a "fun" exercise because it's not formal writing.) He actually does some things well and makes mistakes (which we all do). I don't think that problem with him is as egregious as some folks want to believe.

Liberal Groups Spend More Than $20 Million Attacking Trump, GOP on Coronavirus

Liberal groups have dropped more than $20 million into advertisements attacking President Donald Trump and Republicans on coronavirus, a sign that the pandemic will play a central role in November's presidential election.

Democrats have used the outbreak in recent weeks to campaign in battleground states that could determine the presidential election, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Liberal advocacy groups and super PACs are airing ads slamming the president as slow in responding to the pandemic.

The multimillion-dollar efforts are fueled by groups bankrolled by some of the party's top donors, including billionaires Donald Sussman and George Soros. Protect Our Care, a dark money group established to protect the Affordable Care Act, is the latest to attack Trump's response to the outbreak. The group put five figures into television and digital ad buys late last week in battleground states. The ads will continue to run throughout this week.

Protect Our Care is a project of the Sixteen Thirty Fund at Arabella Advisors, a dark money network that funneled more than a half-billion in secret cash from wealthy donors to liberal initiatives in 2018. Dozens of advocacy groups fall under the Sixteen Thirty Fund's umbrella, which provides its legal and tax-exempt status to groups that are not recognized as nonprofits by the IRS. Protect Our Care also set up a "Coronavirus War Room" Twitter account to counter Trump's response. The group did not respond to requests for comment.

While Protect Our Care attacks Trump over the pandemic, Tax March, another Sixteen Thirty Fund project, has targeted GOP lawmakers. The group poured $1.2 million into media buys against Republican senators David Perdue (Ga.), Susan Collins (Maine), Pat Toomey (Pa.), and Ron Johnson (Wis.) over their support for the 2017 tax bill that contained relief for some corporations that may benefit from the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus.

Liberal super PACs have also spent millions attacking Trump. PACRONYM, a super PAC tied to the dark money nonprofit ACRONYM, has spent at least $5 million on coronavirus ads against the president. Tara McGowan, the group's founder, said it's up to Democratic groups to push anti-Trump messaging during the pandemic while presidential candidates remain positive. PACRONYM received $1 million from Sussman and $250,000 from Soros's Democracy PAC late last year.

Establishment players such as Priorities USA, the largest outside Democratic super PAC, have been some of the biggest spenders to date. Priorities has already poured more than $7.5 million hitting Trump over the coronavirus in pivotal battleground states. Fueled by $8 million from Sussman and $5 million from Soros this cycle, the group began running ads in Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin in March.

Priorities plans to spend at least $150 million leading up to the November elections.

American Bridge PAC, led by liberal operative David Brock, has spent $6.3 million on coronavirus media buys. The PAC has received $2 million in funding from Soros this year. Individuals with ties to the Democracy Alliance, a millionaire and billionaire donor club cofounded by Soros that helps set the progressive agenda, have also provided large donations to the group. The alliance mapped out a $275 million spending plan for the 2020 elections.

American Bridge recently announced that it is joining forces with Unite the Country PAC, the super PAC backing Joe Biden's candidacy. The groups hope to raise a combined $175 million as they collaborate on research, polling, and ad buys against Trump.

Unite the Country has already spent seven figures on coronavirus-related attack ads against Trump. The pro-Biden PAC's biggest donor is Silicon Valley billionaire and LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman, who has stepped up as a major Democratic funder in recent years. Unite the Country's founders also separately established Future Majority, a D.C.-based dark money "strategy center" that plans to spend at least $60 million in the Midwest.

As outside liberal groups pour tens of millions of dollars into attack ads against Trump, outside Republican groups have been relatively absent from the airwaves.

Would you put it past Trump to direct resources to "prove" it's effectiveness?

Shouldn’t Cuomo be worried about the Liver issue?

In Striking Moment, Gov. Ralph Northam Put on His Own Black Face Mask. He Urged Every Virginian to Do the Same

Gov. Ralph Northam (D., Va.) covered his face with a dark mask on Monday in an attempt to educate the public on measures aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus.

Northam, who is best known for refusing to resign after revelations that he appeared in blackface in a photo in his medical school yearbook, evidently did not consider the optics of using a dark mask in his demonstration. The racist image came to light in 2019, but because Northam is a Democrat, the media outrage died down and he kept his job.

If his resources are scared uninformed people, I'd say he effectively has. But Novartis and Bayer have donated a combined 31 million doses to the stockpile.

It's green, but makes a good story, if you don't mind making stuff up.

Do you teach the students the same 5 adjectives in Trump’s repertoire over and over and over?

Yeah, the headline makes it look like they were trying a little too hard to tie this in with the yearbook picture. They call it a "dark" mask in the article. They probably should have kept it that way in the headline.

My luck is considerably higher here because the Drs. are using it and aren’t relying on anecdotal maybes or someone somewhere might have a negative reaction to it to in the future . If I lived anywhere around your hospital , and it’s Drs that think that way .. I’d move . My survival odds would immediately increase .

No. We vary those and often complain about using ye olde thesaurus. HAHA
Then again, students should be taught that, based on audience.
How much working vocabulary in an audience can a politician assume?
