Kep said it would happen.
We are full on into the Stalin erasing of history phase. By October, we will have only lost 5000 people due to the virus.

Dimwit Donnie is pushing a new wonder drug that's gonna be the cure-all for everything.
Also stating that there's gonna be no issues reopening the country because "the virus will be gone. It's gonna disappear".
Seems like we've heard this story before. It didn't end well.

So here's a question for you- what is worse for the economy- open businesses with not enough customers to pay the employees or closed businesses? Focusing on retail stores who laid off their employees- not the ones who continue to pay wages.
Seems to me that having open businesses with all the expense to be open but nobody buying stuff will be worse than just being closed.

Remdesivir? It had mixed results so far, but shows the most promise. And doesn't cause heart issues like Donnie's wonder drug Hydroxychloroquine.
Remdesivir trial was cancelled earlier in China due to low enrollment in the program, and the very limited results showed no help.
But other trials still in progress have show some promise, and has a larger pool of those taking it.
Again, this is just a therapeutic though, it will only lessen the symptoms if successful. A vaccine is still one year out or more.

As most of you know, Massachusetts has been one of the worst hit states when it comes to coronavirus fatalities. They also have one of the best hospital systems in the country, maybe even the world. Because of the coronavirus onslaught, we have told these hospitals have been overrun and are near or at capacity.
To help with the situation, some of these hospitals have turned to a novel method to lessen their overall burden and ensure they have enough personnel to treat the amount of current patients. A friend told me the procedure's name, but it sounded French and I did not take that romance language in school, so I asked some more friends who had. Seems that their knowledge of the term depended on their personality type, which is rather strange. My "PRIVATE" friends appeared to be very familiar with the procedure as they have encountered it many times over the years in times of crisis. My more open, or "PUBLIC", friends didn’t know anything about it and were very irritated about why the others wouldn't give it a try - "we're all in this together.".
Can anyone here confirm what a Furlough is?

Yes, but now the states won't be on the hook for unemployment for those whose businesses are clear to reopen, but don't go back to work for concern for their safety.
Those people have voluntarily quit work.

But the government won't have to pay unemployment. And that's all the politicians care about.

Better than nothing, only works if you are already sick.
Would have the possibility of helping hospitals not get too crowded- which would help a LOT.
Does not really change how much more virulent this is vs. other viruses, nor how debilitating this is vs other viruses.
Helpful, but not THE cure.

People getting sick and dying as a result? Meh, don't care.
As long as they're the right people.

Didn’t renmdesivir just have a huge trial come out negative in the last week?

Re: Covfefe-19: We Can Handle Slight Inconveniences. Part 8.
the big takeaway for me is something we've posted here- quick response that is very restrictive will keep cases to a bare minimum, and also would have the minimum impact on society and the economy.
Most of the deaths were preventable, and most of the economic impact was also preventable.
Now we are the laughing stock of the world. Yay.

The plural of anecdote is not data
Re: Covfefe-19: We Can Handle Slight Inconveniences. Part 8.
It was a data leak not actual trial results. Reports from a prelim analysis in a large trial are promising but like everything, we need to wait until the data is in before jumping to conclusions. But on the bright side, it does not seem like it cause heart block like the miracle cure hydroxychloroquine and a zpack.
Also I know you know this but for others, one well designed trial with positive (or negative) results >>>>>100 poorly designed trials with opposite results
