There is some repeat of what he (and dx) covered already but he does a very good job expanding on what I was saying about the FDA. Essentially, the "emergency use" is political, not scientific.

          It is important to note that the papers we are seeing are not going through the regular peer review process (even papers in NEJM, Lancet). They are expedited to get the information out there, but that means you have to be extra skeptical. Normal turnaround time of several months is not acceptable either in these situations but I suspect many will be retracted in the years to come.

          Also remember that physicians, nurses, etc are human. They have biases and get scared like the rest of humanity. I personally know physicians who have written for hydroxychloroquine for themselves or family and although I am profoundly disappointing in their reasoning, I do understand the motivation. I hope it does work but it is important to wait for appropriate evidence, especially with the risks. There are several other treatments currently under trial I think have a higher prior plausibility.

          For those interested with some time on hand, this is an excellent book. https://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Err.../dp/3319932233 It is a bit pricey, but reads easily and is very enjoyable. It is a comprehensive guide to how physicians (and the regular public) make cognitive errors and I will be making it a must read for any trainees I oversee. It looks like a textbook but it honestly is not too dense and is very readable. I really wish I would have written it (although Dr. Howard does a far better job than I could).

          Burd, I know you liked "Mistakes were made but not by me" so this may be right up your alley.
          Superb post.
          Just had a fam member from VT message asking advice because they know of someone who works in a long term care facility, is symptomatic and was sent home with no guidance what so ever. Person has no insurance so no PCP. You can't get a test without a Dr order. No money to go for a visit so is really ill, most likely with the virus, has exposed/ been exposed to patients and coworkers. There are 'recommendations' for testing but it seems we have a million different little fiefdoms that all have different protocols some of which are a free for all/who you know.

          I searched a bit but maybe I wasn't using the right parameters- is there any site that is tracking protocols for testing? I am getting messages from people all over the place and protocols vary from testing [some asx people who are at risk (healthcare workers) and may have been exposed] to [don't test unless you are going to be admitted]. Without knowing what people are using for parameters how are people making predictions? <-- serious question. It is obvious some places are under-reporting, not testing. I don't see how we figure this out until we have the right data. Math sucks. the Process of statistical analysis is baffling to me but it would seem you have to have those variables known to control for error

              *edit*
              I fully expect the "didn't stop" pockets in the upper midwest because of the need to drive for necessities, I'm honestly surprised there aren't more. What amazes me is the blatant disregard the Southeast gives.
              Yeah I mean the first one is misleading, so it's good the second one is there to clear it up, but it doesn't make the South look THAT much better. Instead of it being, "wow the South is really sucking at this", instead it's "the Plains, Rockies, and South really suck at this".

                    I topped my tank off at $1.09/gallon last Friday. Took $5.00. I actually drove more yesterday for work than in the last 15 days, 120 miles round trip. It was the only time I've worked outside my house in 2 weeks other than to drop something off at a post office.

                      I'm not surprised. I went from driving 20 miles round trip every day for work to zero miles (I live in the same town as my job, but on the opposite side). Hundreds of my co-workers are doing the same.

                        At this point, I don't know how much good wide scale testing will do. The purpose for it at the beginning, like what SK did, was to identify those infected, and then wall them off from those surrounding them until they got better, thus no virus spread.

                        We didn't do that, so in effect, we've had to shut everything down cause we don't know where the infection might be, and where it will go from there. And its been here for a month or longer, being spread around who knows where by those showing no symptoms.

                        Those areas where there aren't any, or few cases, those areas where Trump says should be perfectly fine to go about their business(remember, there was a time not long ago when NY had no, or few cases) the virus is already there, just waiting for people to start getting sick. At this point, I feel pretty sure there's not an area in this country that isn't flush with Covfefe-19.

                          American conservatism, 1994-2020: the winner.*

                          A train engineer at the Port of Los Angeles is facing federal charges for allegedly charging a locomotive off tracks toward the USNS Mercy, which he suspected is tied to a government plot, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

                          Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro, was handed over to FBI agents Wednesday and charged with one count of train wrecking in Tuesday's derailment, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles.

                          Moreno admitted he purposefully ran the train off the end of its tracks at full speed near the hospital ship in two separate interviews, officials said.

                          He allegedly told investigators he believed the ship — which docked at the port last week to relieve strain on area hospitals during the coronavirus outbreak — had a secret purpose related to COVID-19 or a government takeover.

                          Moreno said he wanted to “wake people up” and hoped the derailment would get media attention so “people could see for themselves,” according to prosecutors.

                          The 1,000 bed ship became the largest hospital in L.A. when it docked last Friday. On Sunday it began boarding non-coronavirus patients, to free up space at other area hospitals.

                          Firefighters responded around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday to the port, where the train came to rest about 250 yards from the Mercy after crashing through a series of barriers. No injuries were reported, but it did trigger a fuel spill that prompted a hazardous materials cleanup.

                          Moreno tried to flee the scene but was detained by a California Highway Patrol officer who witnessed the incident, officials said. The officer reported seeing the train smash through a concrete barrier, steel barrier and chain-link fence before sliding across a parking lot and lot filled with gravel, coming to rest against another chain-link fence.

                          The officer told investigators that when he spoke with Moreno, the suspect said things like, “You only get this chance once. The whole world is watching. I had to. People don’t know what’s going on here. Now they will.”

                                Holy f-ck.

                                Florida deaths running total:
                                3/31: 85
                                4/1: 101
                                4/2: 310


                                Edit These are from Worldometers, which tends to be ahead of most sources but isn't always 100% accurate. Could be a typo...?

                                Edit 2: Looks like it has to be a typo. Louisiana and florida have the same # of cases and deaths. So I'm guessing they screwed up in the database.
