General COVID-19 Talk #2, NHL Phase 2 begins early June Mod Warning post 1

[Raccoon Jesus]

The exit strategy was never a cure.

The point was slowing a curve to not overwhelm the ICUs so that they had time to prepare, learn, set up. Any day saved is a good day as the medical professionals are humans, too. They can't do 365 days of it either without exhausting or dying. The theory was we'd have a good treatment by now, good systems, that would help mitigate rising cases. That unfortunately hasn't happened as much as we have hoped. Even if the drugs that we were using were effective at reducing deaths and ICU stays by 2-3 days, that's HUGE in the grand scheme of things.

The argument was never "lockdown = how we get rid of this thing," all I was saying in previous pages is countries that locked down are currently largely in a better spot to deal with it than those that didn't.

I am a little shocked that the focus is on a long-away vaccine and less on short-term treatments. Treatments will be vital moving forward even with a vaccine.

Last I saw there was no peer review on this one, just a press release. What could go wrong?

I do believe you get your ass kicked for referencing The Unholy Trilogy. Or get your ice cream taken away for a week at the very least.

It's clear you don't understand how quarantine works, so there isn't really anything more to say. Also, I don't do online gaming, so nice whiff on that one too. I'll leave this here, I suspect you probably could use it:

Is there a quarantine task force you can be a part of? Maybe you can patrol your neighborhood with a drone and contact Garcetti anytime you see something unacceptable. You know, for the good of the community. The world needs more hall monitors.

I'm not talking about enforcing anything, just pointing out how you sound talking about the sweet screen door on your submarine, but you keep abstaining in moderation.

Yesterday



I am the first to admit that math is not my strength, but 117-104=13, right?

Revived someone, and then killed them again?

I am disappointed we have not heard more about convalescent plasma therapy recently. Of course, I already have dibs on @Herby 's plasma, so I don't know what the rest of you f'ers are going to do if you ever catch it.

1. I didn’t say shit about where the virus came from.
2. Even if it was engineered in a lab, what does that have to do with a cure being”already available”? I can burn your house down with a match, can I use that match to rebuild it?

Hydro is a cure. It worked up here and is working all over the world so we can deny it like the media wants everyone to do or we can embrace it and burn down these death rates. I can burn down your house with an already lit fire but that doesn't mean I want to burn down your house at all.

Oh and the FDA is re-instating the emergency (might have already done it earlier, I am super busy right now) usage guidelines for the extended usage of Hydro for the treatment of the created in a lab in wuhan china covid 1984 virus.

 

[ricardfromage]

You claimed it was a FACT that it was created in a Chinese lab, so YOU have the burden of proof. Not anecdotal, but actual fact based evidence. You have none.

Before this turns into a he said she said you should go back and read how this whole thing started. Then I will be happy to show several articles that claim that the virus was in fact created (taken from one phase to another) in a lab in Wuhan China. This is an irrefutable fact in the rest of the world but you seem to have missed that little bit of info. I have time........ Let me know when you want to discuss the facts.

I don't think you can classify hydroxychloroquine as a cure. The drug is not an anti-viral, but it does treat one of the underlying symptoms (inflammation), which is a major contributor to a patient's death. By "calming down" the body's immune system reaction and reducing inflammation, hydroxycholorquine may in some cases buy the patient some time to fight off COVID-19 without the inflammation that damages the lungs and other organs.

Treatment and cure are not the same thing, they’re different because of the spelling, among other things. Also “it worked up here”? Don’t you live in the middle of buttf*** nowhere where there are more cows per square mile than people? What’s next? Hydro cured 100% of the patients in Antarctica?

I don’t know what I expected from someone who goes by “dick cheese” but god damn...

Edit: and “the media” again? Because doctors know there’s a cure but “the media” is keeping them from making it known. In every country all over the world. Seems likely.
