Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

I guess everybody decided to die on the chloroquine hill again today.

@Orangeburst

5 day average for new cases dropped some more today.

You're pissing on the doom and gloomers parade

He’s talking about the squiggly lines on the ECG monitor.

You can't kill an entire economy and destroy countless lives for a relative handful of people; I don't consider that a question of survival of the fittest, just ethical and moral logic.
There's no reason to expect this will disappear and not recur.
We can't shelter continuously or intermittently until a vaccine is developed perhaps a year or more away. Give it another ten days which will have been about a month, then get back to it. And do not return to sheltering/distancing when it returns.

Your frustration/desire doesn’t override reality/morality.

Excuse me, she.

This is kind of where I am leaning as well. Not so sure it would be 10 days when restrictions are lifted. One thing is for sure, some resemblance of normalcy must return in the future, hopefully sooner rather than later.

everyone that gets Covid-19 does not die. Like I said, it depends.

I wish the media would make your point a common refrain.

You read nothing I wrote.
Emotion makes terrible policy; mine is a logical and moral, reality-based consideration.

In order to feel like this whole effort is worthwhile, I am looking at what's happened in nursing homes where the virus broke out and assuming that is the sort of damage that would have been done among the vulnerable portion of our population if not for the shut down.

Navarro's memo was dated Jan 29,, the same day Trump created the task force, eight days after discovering our first C19 patient using the test CDC developed after receiving the genome sequence on Jan 11/12. Two days before declaring national health emergency, China travel ban and quarantine, and less than two weeks before executive order had our military initiate pandemic protocol.

Economies freed from tax and regulatory restraints usually do autopilot until bureaucrats poke it with a stick to see if it'll bite or play dead. Science-based intervention has killed the economy and has not been asked to explain itself.

Well, that's interesting considering, I believe yesterday, Trump said he wasn't aware of the memo, and if that's the case, I suppose Trump doesn't rely on advisors as much as some would like us to believe.

Ok. I said I wasn’t trying to be mean. You may “work” in clinical trials, but your posts here show a large amount of ignorance regarding any actual basic science or practice of medicine.

so you think they develop a drug and just release it to the general population? There are clinical trials that are 10 years long, of course that is the extreme. Most clinical trials range anywhere from 4 to 6 years. I don't know what your expectations are as it relates to medicine, or what your experience is when it comes to the development and approval process. I am sure this vaccine/drug will be fast tracked. I know of at least 10 clinical trials ongoing now for different drugs and vaccines for Covid-19. Everyone is trying to find the cure/magic bullet. If it was hydroxycholoronique, the medical community would be pushing it out.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

most "COVID tents and stations" are ghost towns.

They are working on converting the old Alstom plant into an emergency ward with 1,000 beds. There’s about 20 people in the hospital for this right now and the peak is next week.

So, yeah.

 

[RikidyBones]

Bernie wants us to put the very thing that he alleges has failed in charge of healthcare. I get that's his career narrative but man is he delusional

 

[DancingOutlaw]

This was my post the day that the White House was predicting 100,000-240,000 deaths. Now, they are saying 60,000.

60k is still too high. I think mid 40’s maybe.

Thankfully, Ole Bern is out of the picture now.

As Far as possible side effects, didn't hydroxychloroquine go through clinical trials a long time ago?

That's the narrative of progressivism generally. If you give this institution that currently works terribly even more control, things will get a lot better.

 

[Hunerwadel]

Not to be rude, but I think your politics are overruling your common sense. I take a handful of pills everyday that could have dangerous side effects. COULD. But my doctors have decided reward outweighs risk. And just because something COULD happen doesn't mean it will.

Murphy would disagree.

 

[evillawyer]

He's quite excited. Must think Melania is going in for lipo.

 

[Weezer]

Murphy never accounted for prescription medicines. He'd probably get anal leakage.

Whatever it takes to make you feel better.

There is no victory in any of this.

I know one person will try and I know other people that will pat him on the back and say something like "winning".

 

[rjd970]

There would be riots here.

And I agree with your earlier posts, I highly doubt China is letting the whole story out.

Sadly hog, you were wrong. A little fear peddling from the press, twitter chicken littles, and anti-Trump agendas is all it takes.

The news that the curve is flattening should excite everyone but it's pretty disgusting that it's depressing some
