There has always been a "if it bleeds, it leads" thing in the news world. It's not new nor is it a right or left thing It's just that they're there to get viewers/clicks because it is a business and that's what people gravitate to. I think it's important to always, but especially now, read things with a very critical mindset.
I gave up on mainstream media about 3 years ago. This was from somebody that works with these patients every day. I pay attention to the people on the front lines over anybody.
Harvey Weinstein has COVID-19.
Destindawg, you lost me with the whole "USA is on the same trajectory as Italy" thing. Thanks to CaliforniaDawg, the graph indicates 15 days out we're at around 200 fatalities, Italy around 850. I guess charts and graphs were never your thing.
Or is there something in the water down there?
Please don't. Let's keep it calm guys. We're all in this together
Anytime someone says we are comparable to Italy I tune them out. it's an absurd comparison. Italy is a dumpster fire. Italy and Spain are extreme outliers in Europe.
Oh... oh no?
I'm going to try to keep up with my daughter during "Homeschool PE" class tomorrow... last week nearly did me in.
Sat morn .... got up early and reading about the virus .... came across the French data where they treated Covid 19 patients with several drugs that had significant positive outcomes ... one was the malaria drug hydroxy chloroquine.... said was also prescribed to Rh Arthritis patients ....of which my wife is one ..so when she got up I asked her if she had ever taken Plaquenil ( hydroxy chloroquine) ....she yes ever day for Rh .... well she is well on her way to being ahead of any potential infection ....reassuring. The best response in the French study was Plaquenil + Z Pak. ..... for 5 days
That's right. We are not nearly as bad off as Italy, especially when you take into account the population size of Italy vs the US. If I had to rank countries right now, I'd say Italy, Spain and Iran are in a clear category of awful by themselves. Then I'd say there is a category of countries that we can't really evaluate yet or are in the middle including the US, UK, China. Then, the two countries that by far seem to be doing the best are South Korea and Iceland. But, this analysis is in the moment and just like the halftime score, things can change by the end of the game.
Kinda cool this morning here. My teenagers are starting to adjust after about 10 days of new social rules. They don't like it, but it's not as mind-blowing as it was. My dude from "Lost" just came out and said a Z-pac and that malaria drug fixed him up. That's one down, about 5000 people to go before it matters scientifically - but I guess you need to start somewhere.
I hope you all are staying safe! Prayers to all you guys in the line of fire right now. You guys are heroes.
I've been taking all the precautions up to this point except still having to go to work. Wasn't really that worried though until seeing more mentions of people with asthma, as I have. Mild, I think because I've never had an attack, just troubled breathing here and there. Almost had a full blown anxiety attack last night though reading through this thread lol. Trying to hang on to the more positive posts
Are you saying you actually know someone who was infected and successfully treated with a z-pack and chloroquin(sp)?
That would be welcome news to many.
edit: I see you probably just follow him in the news.
