Coronavirus - are we all doomed?

Woman in ICU: "Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure."

Sorry that is Darwinism and it's a poor sample of your argument. Wouldn't there be hundreds? Not to mention lots of doctors are using hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic in their own personal care.

Nobody should be taking aquarium cleaner.

You will be telling us in a couple of weeks that Trump never made any claims about Easter.
 
Lets stick with your current misquote before moving on to your next misquote. You intentionally misquoted Trump to further your own sick and twisted view.
Trump tweeted that hydroxychloroquine plus an antibiotic could be “one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine” and should “be put in use immediately.” He cited a French study that gave the combo to six patients.

It's about China really, they lied and not one liberal cared. They are upset with a possible cure and how it's tweeted. When Trump wanted to implement a travel ban against China he was called a goose-stepping Neo-Nazi Xenophobe. That ban saved lives BTW.
 
I cannot see what is wrong with someone stating that a drug combination has a real chance of attacking the coronavirus. A French doctor has promising early results. It might not turn out that it works, but it also might. Otherwise, why would they be doing a clinical trial in the US and other countries on it if it doesn't have a real chance? Should we really get hung up on the word "chance", which means "possibility"?

The hydroxychrloroquine...if that is safe and someone took something else and it killed them, is that not like saying O2 is safe and then someone takes neat CO2 and they die? You cannot blame someone else for anothers stupidity. Unless I am missing something?

Is anybody forgetting what day it is? I thought it was Friday for most of the day yesterday, and was busy working away until evening. Then it dawned on me it was Saturday evening! Then I thought, well, what else will I do? So I carried on.

As a self-employed person, you are divorced of the regimentation of employed work schedules. But being stuck at home all the time too means you are even further distanced from reality.

Part of the problem is that people are in panic mode and you cant fix stupid so they take it. I view it kind of like yelling fire in a movie theatre. He could have simply said there are some drugs showing promise but by naming them explicitly, saying they are safe and approved, people are buying and hoarding them. A friend with Lupus who uses it is having trouble getting it. Doctors and Dentists are writing prescriptions to themselves and relatives without needing it.
 
Heres another part of the problem

I understand what you are saying. My take is a little different. I don't believe in suppressing information. The internet will give alternative sources anyway. I read about the anti-malaria drug way before I heard Trump talk about it. I read it from a Chinese source, a French source, and others that I can't remember. To me, withholding information is a bit like lying by omission. All this nonsense about on the one hand how ineffective masks are, and on the other hand that there is a shortage and the medics need them. How can the government have any credibility when their advice on what works and what doesn't has such obvious flaws?

We can live in two types of world. One where the government withholds information from whom they serve, or another where they are transparent. I know which one I want to live in. China represents the less transparent one, in my view.

Just my opinion and I know views differ.

I guess it would depend on your definition of ineffective. Must they be 100% effective or can they just reduce the risk by 50%?

We may have misunderstood one another. I have my own mask because they reduce risk.
 
I have one of the super-duper ones. Yet to use it though as we have been advised to stay home for 3 months.
