There is a clinical study under way of Remedsivir that has a goal of enlisting 400 COVID patients who are in ICU and on oxygen. The teaching hospitals in Chicago and east coast are primary participants. Hopefully this study shows high antiviral activity that would cease the trial early so the placebo recipients would receive the drug. We can hope!

Good chat.

[One might also ask, if this virus does not like hot weather, why aren't our numbers declining (or at least slowing to rise) given the damn temperature has been near 90 degrees for the past couple weeks? I did some yard work on Saturday and the temp gauge at my house showed 92 degrees.

I think the argument is that we got an influx of infected people after the first batch showed up which stretches out the period we will be affected by it.

We have a lot of people that work in NYC and live down here (SE PA).

I've been seeing a lot more NY license plates over the past couple of years. While we were going to see houses a couple months ago I noticed that there was at least one car showing up to the open houses that had NY plates and of the houses we had seen by appointment I would say 75% of the time there was another couple there from NY.

The NJ/NY diseased either commuting or fleeing to PA will be met with a very cold and/or hostile reception. The Poconos are being overwhelmed by them - stressing the medical and infrastructure. We have friends & relatives up there - let's just say the NJ/NY invaders are being shown a very unpleasant way back East.

As well there should be. The world should band together when all of this is over and burn their economy to the ground.

Well, the shoobies were doing the same to the Cape May/Wildwood communities, so it goes both ways.

Well, Fredo now has Da Rona too.

Chris Cuomo tests positive for coronavirus
Maybe he'll lash out at the virus itself for being anti Italian by invading him.

To be fair, NY was the #1 fled state in the nation, long before this virus nonsense.

Have not seen yet, but initial trial is ongoing for chloroquine and remdesivir, and has shown success in reducing both transmission and shortening clinical course. We are currently engaging in probably the largest field trial ever conducted on drug therapies, so will shortly have lots of data to analyze.

The people who run cigarette companies are clearly some of the finest people on earth.

Plus they make really awesome ads...

So a cigarette company, British American Tobacco (BAT) comes up with the vaccine to kill a virus that originated in a bat and destroys the lungs.....I am not sure you could make that up!

a relatively small impact to my family

My daughter (married w kids) got very sick last night. The short version is she wound up in the ER. Everything now looks reasonably good.

No temp. lungs clear. very dehydrated. no flu.

No corona test because no temp. possible food poisoning. She will probably be released soon.

Her husband was not allowed in the hospital. He had to sit in his car in the parking lot and text to his wife. Place is locked down. Thank goodness she had her cell phone.

And I'm thinking Virginia hospitals will be dealing w this till July.

That is printed in a British paper on April 1. It's a joke. They do that.

I feel the need to go get a few packs of Lucky Strikes to help support BAT and the research. Grew up in tobacco country back when...

They've gotten me a few times.

You would think it would state somewhere at the end of the really long article that it was a joke. Not really something most would consider funny to joke about right now.
