Not when the information that does exist matches your preconceived notions.

Fuck COVID-19.
And you, yeah, you, you panic-buying fuckers. Stop buying my toilet paper!

Listened to Dr Drew podcast yesterday, in which he repeatedly stated that the US is doing the right things, social distancing is the right move, and everything will be okay. The Italian deaths are due to Italy not being prepared, and the US is very well prepared and taking the correct steps
His angry take was that the media should be thrown down the well for the levels of panic they have encouraged His opinion was that if the number of cases is less than six figures at the end of the week, we'll be fine and if they are below 20,000 things are awesome His opinion was that hospital overwhelming may happen but will be entirely localized in outbursts Drew survived H1N1, so you know he is badass already. ~ There is a new treatment for this, "chloroquine" which they say is being proven effective China is claiming no new cases today - but don't trust China, China is asshoe (see date at bottom of the tweet) ![]() |

The Pentagon likely has a shit-ton of chloroquine (sp?) stock piled since it's a common anti-malarial. I took it in Costa Rica years ago.

I watched Trump's news conference today, he's doing much better.
I may have to go back on Gin and Tonics after a 12 year hiatus...

I had a really bad chest cold in December, I think. I'm seeing things that say it may have already been here as early as November. Hope so.
Maybe wishful thinking, but it was a brutal cold that took a good week to take hold and 3 to go away. I was hocking up lung cookies for a solid 2 weeks. Most of the people here had something like it.

does Quinine work too? You can get that in Canada Dry Bitter Lemon. Which goes nicely with Gin.

Drew said it was almost surely in big int'l cities soon after it broke out in Wuhan, and almost surely there are people who had it and didn't know, and this is part of the immunity building up
He said you just listen to Anthony Fauci's actual facts and those are what you need to know. He worked directly with Fauci during AIDS in the 90s |

But the WHO is not being critical. So it appears they have finally got something under control. It could just be that 60% to 70% were infected and recovered already. Necessary are test (current not being done) to determine who had the virus (now only have antibodies). So much science remains to be done. Meanwhile, two classic case studies need consideration. Italy was about as prepared as anyone else. Even quarantines in North Italy failed to stop a spread to the south. (Strangely it did not spread North into Austria.) Something more is at play here. They have asked for and received Doctors from China to visit and advise. Other example is Japan that had few cases. Again, what was unique in Japan? Some suggest a population that was properly trained during Sars and Mers potential pandemic. But that is only speculation. Something to learn from those two extreme examples. Clearly not explained is why so many top doctors and other health industry officials in Iran constantly claimed Covid-19 was only a another cold virus. And not a problem. Their total denial, even after so many top doctors and Health minister were sickened, reeks of leaders driven by religion instead of politics or science. Italy has a highest illness per capita number. Significantly higher than China. But Iran may be the world's sickest nation - or quickly getting there. |
