Larry Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 BTW, about Chloroquine and Covid? Heard a longer statement, I think by Fauci, on that subject. What he said: 1) There have been no studies whatsoever with this drug and Covid. 2) However, we've been using the drug for 40 years, for Malaria. While there are cases in which "drug X + disease Y" had different side effects than "drug X and disease X", they're incredibly rare. He'd be amazed if this drug has any side effects that aren't already known. 3) However, there's absolutely zero evidence that it works. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our "death/case" number looks fantastic. Up there with Germany and Swiss. Maybe some of the predictions don't come true. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions from that just yet. Could be due to age difference or any number of things, or it could be that we're behind Europe and just seeing the tip of the iceberg. We also have a much bigger country, so while cases have been concentrated, it's not the same as in Italy. And we've been getting cases all over the country and should expect much bigger numbers in places it's spread to only recently. We should wait and see what happens when/if health services are overwhelmed. Edited March 21, 2020 by visionary 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The Gordon Ramsey video makes me wonder if it would be cool to have a hidden camera TV show with Ramsey surprising people who just washed their hands. He could brutally berate people for inadequate hand washing. That may help bend the curve if you make all citizens think about the possibility of being recorded and critiqued when they wash their hands. If you are stuck in this situation with a reality TV star as your president, you might as well "lean in" with his expertise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbit Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) To administer these tests. Why not just use a gloryhole, a rubber glove and a plexiglass window.
