I sure hope this drug is the answer. So we can get back to normal and making a future for ourselves and our kids. Plus watching my daughter play soccer. Kids get to graduate. Maybe they can have prom! Oh and Roll Tide!
I will admit I went to KFC tonight because I could not find chicken in the store for days despite being home to Tyson Foods Chicken Plant

Well, in this case the connection is not “work related.”
I'm wondering if their plateau might break eventually. Their quarantine has been effective, but how long can they keep that up, and when they start taking it down, will numbers spike again?
Yea it’s just too risky..anyone could cough at the pickup window and catch it and spread it I’m sure it’s Happening somewhere

Wife actually tried to run through after picking kid up at daycare. Dodged a bullet there.
Brand new virus stops the world. 3 months later, we have a cure. Sure thing, buddy.

Jury is out. See where she heads next few days. Its the only bullet we have right now. Might as well take a shot. Will find out if its a rubber one or the real deal here soon. If it saves 1 life it was worth it.
You know there is a fourth one too. The WHO going into China and saying they could not find evidence more than 1% asymptomatic cases, despite the Cruise ship data. That one was a flat out lie.
It's an existing med i can get behind that. If it was something just created Id be much more suspicious

It’s a drug that has been used to treat Malaria. Downside is that it will be 8-10 months to get really out to pubic and to vaccinate. But..... it has serious side effects with certain drugs.
Also footnotes
Now that this virus has been treated with 5 drugs that I have read about. It will mutate again. Plus this has only been given to people who were tested positive. As someone said Kinda like tamiflu. So it’s not a vaccination. That we still have to figure out. A possibility of yearly battle like the flu.

Another drug they are getting results with from Japan. Let's hope they unlock some treatment options so we can either slow or better yet stop this bastsrd in its tracks.

Japanese flu drug appears 'effective' in coronavirus treatment in Chinese clinical trials
Based on results of clinical trials conducted with affected patients in both Wuhan and Shenzhen by Chinese medical authorities, Japanese-made flu drug favipiravir (also known as Avigan) has been shown to be effective in both reducing the duration of the COVID-19 virus in patients and to have...
Well Trump did say this would be over by April...
My $0.02 on China. The damage is done...they have destroyed a lot of trust and credibility with the rest of the world. For a regime that prides itself on appearances, the consequences of hiding an outbreak are far far worse than war.
Seems like we've been tracking this storm forever.

This is good to see - a big chuck of the administration's economic response package includes loans to small businesses that will allow them to pay their employees 100% of their regular paycheck, for up to 6 weeks.

This Chloroquine “news” isn’t even news. China has been publishing what has been helpful to them for MONTHS.
The findings of Chloroquine being helpful for covid was published a month ago, February 19th.
It looks like the French published a peer reviewed trial and the US just said “oh ok we should try it”
Thanks China and France! Global communication is nice!

It's not quite that simple (but then, these things never are).
COVID-19: Could Hydroxychloroquine Really Be An Answer?
Repurposing an old malaria drug to treat patients with COVID-19 could not only reduce symptoms and shorten the disease duration but also reduce the viral load, suggests a preliminary French study.

Wasn’t commenting on the validity of using chloroquine, just the use being breaking news.

For anybody still wondering why tests are important it only takes a quick google search. I mean, come on people. It's 2020. You shouldn't have to get your pandemic news from a weather message board site but here you go. (no offense southernwx, luv ya)

I really wish we could put this to rest. If you think tests don't matter then admit your guessing and that your guess isn't supported by the scientific or medical community. Or cite sources if you have them. Again, I'd love to see them because we are all trying to learn.
Lessons From Coronavirus: Testing Is Essential To Save Lives and Protect Human Health
Testing, testing, testing – the novel coronavirus has revealed the critical importance of swift and accurate testing and reporting, something that for decades, the Environmental Working Group has advocated for across multiple areas of public health and the environment.

A graphic illustration of the situation in Italy. 
Something doesn’t quite add up. Don’t get me wrong what is happening in Italy is horrible, but Italy is not losing thousands of people a day and wouldn’t need a complete convey to carry coffins. I’d think that image is probably aid and not coffins

They had almost 1000 die the past two days so it's possible these trucks are carrying the dead unfortunately.
Bottom of article says:Main Street Baptist Church says parent of child at day care tests presumptive positive for COVID-19

When asked about the church’s email, the Forsyth County Department of Public Health director said they are going to do a news briefing Thursday at 2 p.m.
When asked if the information was accurate to the best of his knowledge, he said, “I will verify tomorrow.”
It almost seems like the HD was surprised to be asked about this. Did he not think there was going to be media attention? Doesn't give a great impression in my opinion.

How many caskets do you think would fit in each truck? 20? 25? Even at 50 caskets per truck you would need 20 trucks. And that's just for 2 days. I only see about a dozen trucks in that picture.

I don’t want to say too much, but part of the problem here may be that more than one county health department is involved (i.e. lack of communication). But as for the contents of my email, it is all 100 percent true.

It's all terribly true, unfortunately.
