    Please, let us stick to an evidence based and data driven course for our nation. OK, Dallas Jenkins finally locked down old folks homes. After the Feb. problem in Kirtland and Denton. La Gov and Nolo mayor blame Trump for NOT requiring a shutdown of Nolo parade stuff. Why can't local Gov. figure anything for themselves? $$ lost is the reason. Airline bosses wouldn't shut down foreign routes either and now whine as most are shut down by the Gov. Tough . Next door neighbor's kid got it and recovered, airline stew.
    Data HAS been available for 7 Mo. and NOTHING done but whining!

    Your offensiveness is unbecoming.

    Show me some data.

    I got tested this week after myexposure. 93 hours and 35 minutes later I got my result.
    Pathetic but improving finally.
    My son works in a lab that has the necessary Polymerase Chain Reaction equipment to test for COVID. They have yet to get the requisite reagents to accomplish testing!
    Our nation is on it's knees to a little particle of protein and RNA and I pray we persevere.

    The epidemiological "retarded charts" that you are maligning are wholly supported by the two professional organizations to which I belong. It's our best data to date and they have been quite accurate prognosticators thus far.

    You allege, based likely on social media, that the "whole of Europe is touting the drug combo trump mentioned". It was tragic that Mr. Trump made such a premature allegation.
    No data supports what he said..
    Fortunately if you get COVID you will, in all likelyhood, get better if you rub peanut butter on your butt.

    The supplier I am familiar with had 2,840 Plaquenil doses a week ago. Thanks to people buying it for an affliction for which it has not been shown to work they have zero. Others need it for approved indications.
    Worse still. It's killed several Americans due to their Long Q-T Syndrome.
    Admittedly there is a French study the showed a decreases viral load in a majority of the 22 COVID patients thusly treated, though there was too small an cohort to support improved outcomes. That gives hope, I'll concede.



    I'm ranting and you are like a religious apologist with a closed cortex.
    I'm hungry and need two fingers scotch after a long day dealing with COVID-spawned fires in my world.





    Please, let us stick to an evidence based and data driven course for our nation.


    Out.

    TX OMFS,

    I sincerely apologize.

    I f-ed up!!

    What do you think of all the pseudo-virus experts advising us?

    Pretty cool, eh?

    Hey, I like it when I read posts that state: I once heard or worked here or read there, so I'm a qualified 'cv viracal' expert doncha know........and I better not question their bona fides.....

    Here's one of the most impressive: "I paid attention in my high school biology class 30 years ago."

    From the cdc
    • People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest).
    • Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.

    The words in bold are most representative of 95% of what is being circulated. If the CDC cannot say anything definite based on actual data, their opinions are no better than yours

    Info passed on should come directly from the mouths of the officials i.e. scientists running the show based on their full knowledge of the totality of the info. Not from psuedo or even real medical industry folks who heard something from someone. Just cause you wear a white coat or scrubs to work doesn't mean your info is anymore germaine than the lady at the register at kroger. I'm sorry but incomplete info got us to where we are today.

    I'm talking Drs

    If your a dr whose treating this in New York and have info your seeing like the one who said hes discovered if you quit touching your face with contaminated hands your probably not going to get this, I want to hear your info and see how it compared to the other info.

    If you carry blood samples at night to a lab or process them and have logistical problems your opinion without the complete picture is useless. I'm sorry but that's a fact.

    I dont want to see or hear made up charts or projections or regurgitated anti government bullshit. Let's face it, if your government didn't stockpile supplies all the bitching in the world is only going to get you squat. Vote the phuckers out. Or shut up.

    Complete picture from the people I'm talking about....
    Unless this has changed, not counting china. 1.5% +/-, depending on the age and health of a countries population, of the people who get this die from it. Roughly 10% are getting it that they know of right now which is why they are moving forward with antibody testing. Because all those numbers are guesstimates based on best info until they determine an actual infection rate. That's why Chinas bullshit is so infuriating.

    Not all the old or sick that get it are dying from it.

    Several compassionate use treatments are out there that are promising in other countries that dont have such rigid drug approval requirements that the us has.

    The unknown compounded by bullshit is the danger here.

    And what Dr. do you recommend listing to ?

    I would bet a dollar to a dime that you can find a Dr on both sides of every argument.

    That's kind of the point. No one really knows. We're still crunching numbers but there are people talking like they know how this is going to end up. It doesn't help that this is all anyone is talking about or reporting on so you have to wade thru all the bs to try to get real info.
