As an End of The World goes, this one sucks. No space aliens. No killer robots. No zombies. No Para-comet. No super-duper volcano. No spontaneous reversal of gravity. Nothing. Just a Wu-flu, and we're supposed to stay home. I wanted the world to end with more than a whimper. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

BUT... Do we have any? Or is this going to be another cluster fuck like the test kits? Only the extremely rich and well connected will get it. The rest of us will be more likely to have a threesome with a unicorn and a mermaid than to ever even see this drug that is cheap and common EVERYWHERE except the US.

What a coincidence. Trump starts discussing the possibility of quarantining New York and all of the sudden....
Full original text at http://www.yahoo.com/news/york...asses-172713123.html In other words - everything's horrible, and we need to hog up all of the anticoronavirus funding and resources in New York and let the rest of the country go to hell, but things aren't so bad that we need to be quarantined so that rich New York Cityites can't spread the coronavirus around by leaving New York City to take refuge in their second homes around the region! Freakin' hypocrite!! | |||

follow up to Veeper's post above back on page 250 I posted a link to a new French study on Hydroxychloroquine here is the link again to that study https://t.co/aSyFOeK46K?amp=1 sounds like that study was what did it for France https://www.trustnodes.com/202...ally-sanctions-usage Debate Ends Over Chloroquine as France Officially Sanctions Usage Days after beginning a large scale double blinded trial, the so called gold standard, France has now reached the conclusion chloroquine is recommended to treat corona. Speaking at a news conference, Jérôme Salomon (pictured), France’s director general of health, said the officially sanctioned prescriptions of chloroquine to treat corona “allows a temporary authorization to allow certain patients with coronavirus to benefit from this therapeutic route.” Doctors in France now will finally be able to treat patients with Didier Raoult, a renown doctor that specializes in infectious diseases, announcing new clinical results that show out of 80 patients treated with chloroquine, 78 recovered within 5 days. The Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, further said on Thursday that doctors can now prescribe chloroquine both in hospital and for home usage: “Hydroxychloroquine and the combination of lopinavir / ritonavir may be prescribed, dispensed and administered under the responsibility of a doctor to patients affected by Covid-19, in the healthcare establishments which take charge of them, as well as for the continuation of their treatment if their condition allows it and with the authorization of the initial prescriber, at home”. In America considerable politics has developed over chloroquine, but New York should be out with the results on Monday which may lead to a US wide sanctioned usage of treatment. | |||

In an effort to prevent the Fox news logo and banner from burning into my Sony OLED I switched to the Commie News Network for a little while. They are also parroting the "not understanding" what a NYC area quarantine would mean"= or how it would be legally enforceable. Guess they don't have any staff that can use search engine like ensigmatic did. And of course, Trump told suppliers not to send PPE and Ventilators to Michigan as revenge for the Governor being critical of his administration. They didn't mention that Michigan has less than 10% of the confirmed cases as New York, so prioritizing distribution of limited resources to the areas with highest need would make sense. Meanwhile the Governor of Louisiana didn't cancel Mardis Gras in because Trump didn't tell them they needed to, not that they would have listened. And there is "no coordinated national response" to the "crisis" and "no communication". It is amazing how helpless Democrat Governors are. They expect the Federal Government to tell them what to do and to provide essential resources at every step. Personally I am rather amused by the situation with Government Motors: I've been in manufacturing engineering and management for over 20 years, with a few years in design engineering earlier in my career. Almost all of it in the automotive industry. So I know first hand how long it takes to design a complex product, source materials and components, tool up a plant, validate supplier quality, validate plant quality, train employees, start up, ramp up, and reach full production. It doesn't happen in a month. Especially so for a complex product like a ventilator where defects or contamination could lead to patient complications and death. Converting an automative component production facility to a medical grade facility would require a ton of infrastructure - clean rooms, HVAC, etc. It was pure publicity marketing and attention seeking for GM to claim they could produce so many ventilators so quickly. Looking into the details, they were really only going to provide supply chain and quality management expertise to help Ventec, but that's not the impression that was given by GM and the media. As usual, when senior management speaks out of turn and makes promises that are not technically possible, they had to backpedal when reality hit them, and 40,000 ventilators got reduced to 6,000. And then they blamed it on the Trump administration not agreeing on pricing. So now, the company that was too big to fail and needed a bailout a decade ago got their words shoved back down their throats with Trump invoking the DPA. Can't say I really feel sorry for them. | |||

Link doesn't work was the study on Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine. The earlier stuff I saw sad Zpak and Hydroxychloroquine were more effective than chloroquine or chloroquine combined with Zpak. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

He did? Is there a cite for that somewhere? Worst I've heard is he recommended to Pence he not go to the trouble of reaching out to Whitmer, because it was a waste of time.
Of course. But Whitless has been beating the "the federal government is bungling this" drum ever since Day 1.

And now Cuomo says a Federally mandated lock down would be a "Federal Declaration of War" and would cause mass chaos. You asked for more organized and comprehensive Federal response, but you don't like where that leads. All of the people advocating all of these shutdowns and quarantines are essentially looking at what China did with Wuhan, and quickly expanded to all of the entire Hubei province, and saying the US should do the same. If the Left believes China's actions reduced the spread, then doing the same in the biggest hot zone in the US logically follows. Edited to add: And now a former Obama administration National Security Analyst is claiming Trump is threatening to use the military to enforce the quarantine and that it would be illegal. Guess again... | |||

Sorry, meant that to be sarcastic, reported as fact by CNN when it's really an unproven assertion by the Governor. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/27...ies-cnntv/index.html Funny how Trump is brutally honest, and speaking about basic human interaction. When you constantly deride someone for being incompetent, blame them for everything, and disavow your own responsibility, don't expect that person to jump through hoops for you. Kind of applied to everyone in all things, doesn't it? | |||

Ah. Ok. That's what I thought you meant. Just seeking clarification. "America is at that awkward stage.

OK... So we know what the issues are: We know what the symptoms are. We know we need to wash our hands and avoid touching our faces. We know that "casual" contact WILL NOT transmit the virus to one another. We know it requires a level of long-term exposure for it to be transmitted. We know if you feel sick, stay at home and self-isolate/quarantine. We know it takes up to 14 days for symptoms to go away. We know it attacks primarily the lungs. We know a big "hot spot" is New York City. . . . So given all that, let's move forward, get our lives back, get back to work, get this country on its feet again, get this economy going again, and for the love of God, STOP THE PANIC! Let's just friggin' DO IT!!! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

Where did this come from? The 1-5% study? Because 1-5% is not "WILL NOT." It seems like an insignificant chance... until, for example, you think about counting how many people you get within 6 feet of when you go to the grocery store. | |||

Indiana got its first two confirmed cases from people that attended the medical convention in Boston that resulted in a lot of cases. I can't say how casual the contact was at the convention, assume lots of shaking of hands, and standing in circles and talking. But you know, sometimes drinks and schmoozing at conventions leads to "closer" contact, so who knows? | |||

Sister in law just arrived from grocery shopping. Seems there was an altercation between a couple from New York that were incensed the shelves were bare!! They then complained loudly that they had just arrived from NY and needed to stock up. They were asked if they were not supposed to stay in quarantine for 14 days and told more than a few "women" to shut up and mind their business as they were not going to be quarantined by anyone. They were shown the door. And people wonder why we dislike our Northern Asshats that we seem to collect. | |||

It came from the video on page 250 that ChicagoSigMan posted. Go to the 5:30 mark where he specifically discusses "sustained contact"; "very long, sustained contact...15-30 minutes". What? Not enough PANIC for you? "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.
