Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Of course. "The other side may be just as stupid as we are" is the key message from the political extremes today.

You know what? You're both right. Partisanship must rot your brain faster than mad cow disease.

How have you drawn the conclusion that he's working to undermine virus fighting efforts based off of that comment? To me, it was just another dopey comment that is to be expected at this point from a president who is horrible at speaking to the press.

Come on. Everything he does is designed to give the false impression that this is no big deal. He is placing his own hopes for rejection above tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of lives.

Pure evil. Christians should run from him. He is everything they say they loathe.

More Evidence that hydroxychloroquine works and the Government is shutting it down

Bump. Too important to overlook.

 

[headhunter15]

Bump. Too important to overlook.

How are they shutting it down? Isn’t this the drug that’s super, super cheap?

 

[Rickyvol77]

There's nobody allowed in a hospital or an assisted living facility that isn't a patient.

Not true we and several hospitals have had visitors all thru this process

Colorado man died of alcohol poisoning, but death was later blamed on coronavirus: report

 

[Purple Tiger]

NYers can have and keep him.

They will. Gladly.

Yeah, that's probably about half the death totals. Man hit by bus doing 90 mph, cause of death coronavirus.

The video says how. FDA has Pharmacies to scared to fill the prescriptions. This all to be blamed on Dr Fauci.

As opposed to the opposite reaction of governors going insane and acting like dictators. Literally ruining the financial lives of small business owners and employees by the millions.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

If its that great then why aren't you packing to move there now?

 

[Rifleman]

It isnt a conspiracy. It looks to be a nothing burger from what I've seen and hardly worth his mentioning.

Time to recovery decreased by 31%.

Mortalities decreased by 3.6%.

Not a game changer, but there is no reasonable way he could not mention these findings.

How this even becomes a political debate is beyond me. There aren't liberal and conservative drugs. There are drugs that help, and drugs that don't.

Interpretation

In this study of adult patients admitted to hospital for severe COVID-19, remdesivir was not associated with statistically significant clinical benefits. However, the numerical reduction in time to clinical improvement in those treated earlier requires confirmation in larger studies.

From The Lancet 2 weeks ago.

Agree and I cannot understand why in the world the coverup on hydroxychloroquine is happening. The stuff works better than anything else out there and it's cheap. Are they worried about a run on supply and the supply comes from China? Is Fauci a mole sabotaging the idea? What the hell is going on? Way too much evidence that the stuff works and is safe when prescribed by a Dr.

Bump. Too important to overlook.

If your partisan news-gossip tells you they are shutting it down, then they sure have a funny way of doing it:

Phase 2 clinical trials.

NIH begins clinical trial of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin to treat COVID-19

 

[hog88]

It would mean much more danger for those who are in an at risk population (the elderly and COPD patients), if there wasn't as much testing. A symptomatic person isn't going to be walking around in public with the Coronavirus... you are much more likely to contract the virus from someone who is asymptomatic.

Again, reduced testing (testing only the sick) would reduce the amount of confirmed cases.

 

[McDad]

Ummm... more testing would be one of the things that would lead to more confirmed cases.

Yeah...I don't understand how BB is taking this as an OMB scenario.

I don't think it's being shut down but it is really hard to get now. Pharmacies are refusing to fill prescriptions for it written by Medical Doctors. Tell me why please?

 

[lawgator1]

Why is it a good thing to know less about the virus?

This new Trump talking point confounds me.

I have no idea what you are talking about but my guess is you are completely misrepresenting what was said or simply making **** up.

It's your MO.

 

[McDad]

Nobody forced Trump to say something as dopey as:

"... If we didn't do any testing, we would have very few cases." - Donald Trump

What a stupid thing to say. Yeah, let's just bury our heads in the sand, and it will miraculously go away. Nobody would become ill with the symptoms of the Coronavirus, if we didn't do any testing for it, right? Trump is such a moron.

This feels like outrage for the sake of outrage to me.

Shortages can happen, when . . .

Demand is rising faster than Supply.

Really no conspiracy here. I have a family member with Lupus and it has been hard for her to get it a few times, but her pharmacist seems to have it worked out now.

 

[BowlBrother85]

No, because if we weren't testing asymptomatic people, then those people would be infecting a much higher percentage of the at-risk population, who would in turn, become seriously ill. I've stated this over and over... We are going in circles.
