Hydroxychloroquine' being administered to 1,100 COVID19 patients in New York: US President Donald Trump
An inexpensive drug widely used since 1955 to treat malaria, Hydroxychloroquine is considered to have relatively harmless side effects. It is being tested out on the COVID-19 patients in New York on an experimental basis,

"The FDA is also allowing the emergency use of a blood-related therapy called convalescent plasma as an experimental treatment for seriously ill patients," said the president.
Given the drug's relatively harmless side effects, doctors are already beginning to incorporate the drug in their treatment of the coronavirus cases. President Trump and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo have both expressed optimism over the drug's efficacy.
In a statement, Health and Human Services said that FDA has allowed the drugs to be "donated to the Strategic National Stockpile to be distributed and prescribed by doctors to hospitalised teen and adult patients with COVID-19, as appropriate, when a clinical trial is not available or feasible."
Novartis's Sandoz has donated 30 million doses of Hydroxychloroquine to the stockpile and Bayer donated 1 million doses of chloroquine, the media statement said. Both the drugs have been evaluated for the use against COVID-19 in clinical trials around the world.

Donald Trump and this virus are only the proximate causes of our coming misery. A society that has devoted itself to escalating inequality is becoming ungovernable. The Senate bill represents the model of government that former Vice President Joe Biden wooed many Democratic voters with during the 2020 primary. It’s bipartisan, filled with compromise. Everyone seems to have had an ”epiphany” about working together and getting things done.

But what it has done is grotesque. Our government is so committed to serving the wealthy few that it cannot respond effectively even to a once-in-a-century crisis for the unmonied millions.

How true.

Already released another more deadly virus

Man With Hantavirus Just Died On A Bus In China

A male passenger from Yunnan province, China, died of a completely different sickness than COVID-19 while riding a bus headed to work in Shandong province. The strand he contracted – called hantavirus – is much more deadly than COVID-19. It often produces very similar symptoms; therefore, it can be mistaken.

The state-run media channel Global Times wrote in a tweet:

He was tested positive for #hantavirus. The other 32 people on the bus were tested.
Just as China started lifting strict quarantine restrictions from COVID-19, this story sparked new panic among many on social media. However, experts want people to understand that this is not a new virus! It has been around for decades and rarely affects humans.

A cure has been found..


California scientist Dr. Jacob Glanville says his team has found a cure to the COVID-19 virus. Glanville’s team took antibodies used to neutralize SARS and used technology in their lab to adapt them to recognize COVID-19.

Dr. Glanville says he has very potent antibodies to combat the virus and has sent samples out to the military.

If this claim turns out to be true, then this is indeed an Earth shaking development, and Dr. Jacob Glanville, could enter the history books as the individual who saved literally millions of lives, worldwide.

This is potentially a big, big deal. I'll be watching this space, and looking up this doctor in the coming weeks

Of all the recent renditions of that song posted on Youtube, this is one of the more catchy versions, whose lyrics flow better than most I've seen. There is some real passion in this delivery. A classic is born on this day, fellow punters.

Plum outa' rep again, folks.

Anchorage Daily News reprinted/reposted an article from the LA Times re. a Washington State (Seattle?) choir that decided to go ahead and rehearse in person; now reporting 19 infected and 2 dead.

The article emphasized previous reports of aerosolized particles dangling in the air for at least minutes and maybe much longer, depending on what they are clinging to.

Bloody sad way for an effort to bring joy to end up, but it's clear to anyone paying attention, this is nothing to fuck around with at this point.

Masks, gloves, routine sanitizing of all equipment between stores, and sanitizing -anything- brought home from the stores, though some items are easier than others for such action.
------------------------------
Your news is welcome, Mr. D. Hope is what we've got. That, and sanitizing protocols.

No wonder nobody wears masks, they have been told not to

Thanks everyone for the positive news.
I like truth best when it is positive, and it rarely is.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been diagnosed with COVID-19, the network said in a memo to employees on Tuesday.

"In these difficult times that seem to get more difficult and complicated by the day, I just found out that I am positive for coronavirus," Cuomo wrote in a message on Twitter.

CNN reports that Cuomo was most recently at CNN's offices in the Hudson Yards neighborhood of New York City last Friday. He anchored from his home on Monday, and interviewed his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

"I have been exposed to people in recent days who have subsequently tested positive and I had fevers, chills and shortness of breath," he wrote.

"I just hope I didn't give it to the kids and Cristina. That would make me feel worse than this illness!"

Orthopedic clinic that was identified as one of several 'hot spots' in sourcing the spread of COVID19 in Fairbanks, Alaska has publicly lambasted current formal testing protocols. When they first attempted to aggressively test employees (over 30 if I recall) they ran into the standard, "If you have no symptoms, you are not to be tested."

They now have NUMEROUS confirmed positives, with 2 of those who tested positive having presented with ZERO symptoms, and not all their test results have been returned yet.

If I am correct in my memory, the Doc who owns the clinic took a detour to get access to tests, in order to be proactive and test his own employees as a matter of taking responsibility once they were identified as a potential source in the spread in town here, and he was turned around when he initially attempted to go through existing testing sources.

A growing number of folks are very critical of the protocols re. who gets tested and who doesn't, acknowledging that not all positives are symptomatic, but are indeed spreading the virus, despite absence of symptoms.

The Doc in reference had credentials that permitted him to do an end-run around the barriers to getting his staff tested. What will the rest of folks who lack credentials do to get results?

Edit: I needed to go back and accurize my memory re. the Fairbanks orthopedic clinic and Doc. His comments are very important, in my opinion.

There's also links at/near the bottom of the article (or should be) re. previous articles re. this clinic, and 2 other sources found to be hot spots in Fairbanks.

Plus they cant get any.

Fortunately I have about 8 of them that I put away over the last year. Silicone gloves are another hard to find item. Fortunately that's something growers keep on hand, so I have those too.

 

[djav59]

Gloves ,masks your still going to come in contact with it.
I saw what I thought was snow this morning but it was 47 F it was pollen imagine COVID riding on pollen how you gonna stop it?
The so called lock down here does nothing most all business are deemed essential ,and this morning 50 old nasty greasy people crowded both entrances to market to try to buy what wasn't even there.
Its just a holiday for idiots .

 

[djav59]

As I said before all this shit was contrived the whole thing just look at the response that should tell everyone what they need to know about whole situation.

 

[djav59]

The probably most important item missing since October MASKS how hard are they to make? How hard to supply, how hard, but yet they act like its a monumental task.

Coronavirus Live Updates: Grim Models Project High U.S. Toll in Months-Long Crisis
The White House released models showing the future course of the disease, and the C.D.C. is reviewing its guidance on wearing masks as new data suggests many people with no symptoms are infecting others.

RIGHT NOWPresident Trump warned of “a very, very painful two weeks” ahead but said “a burst of light” is coming.

Models predicting expected spread of the virus in the U.S. paint a grim picture.
The coronavirus studies that appear to have convinced President Trump to prolong disruptive social distancing in the United States paint a grim picture of a pandemic that is likely to ravage the country over the next several months, killing close to 100,000 Americans or more and infecting millions more.

White House officials have not specifically said which of several epidemiological models by researchers around the world they used to persuade Mr. Trump to extend federal guidelines that call for people to remain in their homes, limit travel, work from home and refrain from gathering in groups of 10 or more. But the administration’s leading scientists — including Dr. Anthony S. Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, who is coordinating the coronavirus response — have said that several of the publicly available studies generally match their own conclusions about the deadly impact of the virus.
