Yeah if you live in China.I agree, and did I read the China did go back to work today? That has to be a positive.

Thanks for sharing that. I was looking for greater detail earlier on this guy and what he's doing. That article is also full of links to many of the studies that are out there.
No U.S. academic study concurs this -- media worldwide got taken in by essentially a false paper put on Google Docs and since retracted due to Terms of Service violation. It's the same paper we debunked in this thread earlier today.
Note the ConnexionFrance.com article's quote about the "American study" (suspiciously not linked or cited, to boot):
OK, so I wanted to find that "American study". Since the French article purports to quote directly from the "American study", I set out to Google the quote: “Use of chloroquine (tablets) is showing favorable outcomes in humans infected with Coronavirus including faster time to recovery and shorter hospital stay"It said: “Use of chloroquine (tablets) is showing favorable outcomes in humans infected with Coronavirus including faster time to recovery and shorter hospital stay…
I found that The Motley Fool also mentioned the same "American study" in a recent article, but also without citation. Hmmm.
Finally, I found a reference to this same study, still no link but this time with the names of the researchers. Yes! I was getting somewhere. But ...
... the reference was on Breitbart.
And the "researchers" were James M. Todaro and Gregory J. Rigano. Oh boy ... those names again -- the link to their study given in the Breitbart article.
"We're sorry. You can't access this item because it is in violation of our Terms of Service."
...
Yet another link to the "American study", same "researchers" listed.,
Or buy goods from China, or care about the economy in general.Yeah if you live in China.
How has this not already happened?! Good lord, I live in a county that hasn’t yet had a single positive case, and our playgrounds have been shut down for a week now.Apologies if it was already mentioned but DeBlasio says that if people in NYC don't do better with social distancing by Saturday he will finally close all playgrounds.
Perfectly typical of how he has handled all of this.
I’m coining another new term: panicdotal. This isn’t how science works. I know the situation is dire, but people need to be patient while we methodically study potential therapeutics.For the record, the anecdotal data does not at all mean that it is effective. It is way too premature to be touting this as effective. I am fine with “experimental” or “for compassionate use”, but “effective” is pretty negligent IMHO.
Wonder if he had any underlying conditions, like Asthma.A teen has died in LA, CA from cv-19.
I already googled and the reports I read did not indicate i.Wonder if he had any underlying conditions, like Asthma.
Probably too early to know that info.I already googled and the reports I read did not indicate i.Wonder if he had any underlying conditions, like Asthma.
IMO Fauci has to show some optimism just to keep a spot on the stage. Otherwise he knows he is gone.Not to be all tinfoil hat about it, but he can come out with optimism about Easter, the market can go up 10%, the trial from the doctor posted above, and I'm not supposed to think where there's smoke there's fire? Even Fauci was optimistic, darn near cheerful for him, citing the increase in testing and the data, the containment, the isolating and the tracing like South Korea did as the new strategy for non-hotspots. Even Cuomo, who is flat out screwed right now, said we need to do tiered mitigation, open things back up, antibodies syrum, young workers first, etc. today.
So I interpret it basically like this. If you're currently sick or dying in NY, CA, WA or anywhere really, you're out of luck. But for everyone else, the uncertainty is lessening. Heck the guy said Easter. You don't think someone told him something that he can't say yet, but he still said it in not so many words because he can't keep his mouth shut?
NY is going to suffer the brunt of this, and other hotspots too, and I feel for the healthcare workers on the front line of this because for them it's still a horror show. But it's going to get better for everyone else, and that's apparently happening in a sooner rather than later timeframe. What changed from doom and gloom to this newer sense of optimism? For my money, it's the treatments. Again, not to tinfoil hat, but that's a crazy reversal today and not just from the crazy guy.
Seems a lot of people selling toilet paper for a profit on ebay
Bangladesh is packed to the gills with little in the way of medical services. Tinderbox there. That's the worst one I can think of.Has this thing got to Rio yet? I can only imagine places like India and Brazil.
He's pretty close to taking his ball and going home.Apologies if it was already mentioned but DeBlasio says that if people in NYC don't do better with social distancing by Saturday he will finally close all playgrounds.

And home to a Rohinga refugee camp with over 900k people in it.Bangladesh is packed to the gills with little in the way of medical services. Tinderbox there. That's the worst one I can think of.
My exact thought as well. He probably has calculated that his influence, such that it is, will do more good by staying in his current position as opposed to fighting small battles that he won't win anyway and then becoming sidelined.IMO Fauci has to show some optimism just to keep a spot on the stage. Otherwise he knows he is gone.
What perks do you get with the premium?Something "HUB" is offering free premium to stay home and flatten the curve.
If you don't quit by the count of 3...He's pretty close to taking his ball and going home.
This is all of our states. Very worrisome.This is my state honestly
I made a Target run today to top off our pantry on a few items. I live 45 minutes away from the nearest Target, and I also needed to run a few other errands, so it wasn't just a Target trip, but whatever. It was pretty dead at 9:30 am. Nothing was out of stock except hand sanitizer (expected) and yeast. So I stopped off at a nearby grocery store, and they were out of yeast too. The reason why I was looking for yeast is because our local grocery was out of it when my wife went on Friday. WTF is up with people buying yeast? That seems incredibly random.I went into Walmart a little before 8am in and out with TP in less then 10 minutes. Went through the self checkout no lines.
I don't know what needs to be done to make the "Gold Star" happen, but it should. This is really a good idea.
(I was just going to give your post a "Like". Then I was going to give it a "Thanks". Then I realized that neither gesture was sufficient. So, you get a "Love" and a ":goodposting"" and if Joe added a "Gold Star" button I'd give you that too. Thank you.)
Doesn't do me any good, wife is WFH also!Something "HUB" is offering free premium to stay home and flatten the curve.
Lotta people baking their own bread. Flour is scarce as well.I made a Target run today to top off our pantry on a few items.

Meh. It will just get overused and it's meaning diluted like everything else meant to be reserved for extremes like "awesome" and "genius".I don't know what needs to be done to make the "Gold Star" happen, but it should. This is really a good idea.
Cuomo questioned the legality of wether even the state could do that.New Yorkers, please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't DeBlasio the one pushing for a quarantine in New York last week? Only to have Cuomo shoot it down and say it's a decision that can only come from him. Don't get me wrong, I've been a fan of Cuomo throughout this, just trying to wrap my head around this disconnect.
That's the only explanation I could come up with, but it seems stupid. Who the hell bakes their own bread? We are not in any danger of running out of bread. Then again, we're also not in any danger of running out of toilet paper and paper towels, and we see what's happening there, so never mind I guess. People are idiots.Lotta people baking their own bread. Flour is scarce as well.
Looks like an awesome link. I want to see if its Doug B approved.I'm sure this as been posted somewhere back there, but this guy is doing a good  job compiling and commenting on the various medical studies.
If I recall correctly, Cuomo wasn't questioning if it could be ordered, he was saying it could only come from him, not DeBlasio.Cuomo questioned the legality of wether even the state could do that.
But in reality it would not have been effective unless you could simultaneously order shelter in place for Long Island, Connecticut & New Jersey. Because if you lock down the five boroughs people would have fled en masse to family & friends in the surrounding areas.
Its much ado about nothing at this point as all of those areas adopted some form of restrictions.
Same result, I've looked for yeast on my last three grocery trips in three different stores and no dice.I made a Target run today to top off our pantry on a few items.

But have you seen his glutes?I’m afraid to use the non-curseword English language descriptive terms I’d like to use for him, only because I don’t know if that’s banworthy only when applied to the president or if it applies to all elected officials whose handling or major issues I find at best lackluster, but, well, wow.
He’s not good at being mayor. Or any kind of leader. I hope I can say that.

Pretty sure in Alabama we are only testing if you have been interviewed after a tornado hit your trailer park.@NateSilver538
A week ago, New York state had 87 detected coronavirus cases per 1m citizens
Here's where a lot of Southern states are *today*... the number of *detected* cases.
LA: 298 per 1m
MS: 107 per 1m
TN: 98 per 1m
GA: 98 per 1m
AR: 72 per 1m
FL: 66 per 1m
SC: 59 per 1m
AL: 44 per 1m
I can understand the logic of making your own bread. People want to be able to shelter in place for several weeks without having to buy any groceries, and bread is the one staple that doesn't last for several weeks (unless you freeze it, which isn't an ideal storage method).That's the only explanation I could come up with, but it seems stupid. Who the hell bakes their own bread? We are not in any danger of running out of bread. Then again, we're also not in any danger of running out of toilet paper and paper towels, and we see what's happening there, so never mind I guess.

You think she doesn’t, um, subscribe?Doesn't do me any good, wife is WFH also!
I was actually surprised how tight Michigan is. My wife’s company is building a projects for a US military base so they assumed that they would be considered essential. They have to justify to the State how each employee is working on something worthy of exemption. They weren’t able to justify several members of their typical production staff.This is my state honestly
