It's a quandary. They'd like to tie him to a post and beat him like a red headed step child, but, it's tricky, he's giving Trump a softball. The interview where Tony lays it out is in the Oval Office and the old man is to the right. They don't show us that angle, because they don't want the old man getting any credit from Tony's praise. They have to find a way to denigrate the good news, but, not at Tony's expense, but rather at the old man's expense.
The fucks.

The secret is to get treatment early on. Unfortunately, our media has the public scared shitless to go near a hospital until they are on death's bed.

why would you go to a hospital if you have a fever and heavy cough?? not only you probably dont have Covid, you might get it there and you will waste ER workers time because they will send you home.
only go go the hospital if you are drowning or have a massive fever
I would recommend oxygen at home early tho. heard it helps. oxygen tank. dont have one but wish I did

I'm getting sick of the candy coated hopeful stories from the media constantly like they have to somehow balance out all the horrific news. Even in the absolute best case that the Oxford vaccine is successful they're going to need billions of doses, it's not like we're going to the front of the line or anything for our 327 million people. Is it possible to make say 5 billion doses in say a six month period of time?

Doctors say the strokes they're seeing in young people from COVID are coming from them not treating the infection early and quarantining at home because they felt ok at the time. Not that that's not what the hospitals would have had them doing anyways probably.

This is the problem. People are waiting until a virus has ravaged them before seeking any treatment.
Just my two cents -- I'm back on a regimen of one aspirin per day (to thin blood). And a multivitamin.
Other than that, if I get the "I can't smell" symptom, I'll start my doses of C, zinc, and Quercertin.
For most of us, corona will be a huge nothingburger.

Agreed I feel my intelligence is insulted when they hype up a drug or possible vaccine. I feel the media can scream tomorrow "There is a new study that drinking Sprite reduces mortality rates among people with Covid-19. This is fantastic news we can use Sprite to treat this illness." You will have a bunch of people eat it up when it's just a bunch of nothing.

We wouldn't need 5 billion, just 1 billion (fuck Africa, China, India, other yellow/browns until whitey gets his) and even then, it is highly unlikely we can manufacture 1 billion in 6 months.

If their is easy, rapid, widely testing available, the drug is widely available and you have risk factors and studies show the drug is capable of arresting the virus if given very early in onset why wouldn’t you take it? I imagine early administration in a high risk group could be the next target study. Plenty of nursing homes out there to test it on.

If you're talking remdesivir, it is administered intravenously for between 5-10 days. It is not widely available, and requires someone to administer each dose. Not scalable, but a building block for a better treatment.

I know it’s administered IV. I include the widely available caveat, enough for high risks. IV administration means you go to the doctors office each time for a 1/2 hour infusion. Any study for effectiveness in this setting would no doubt include minimal number of infusions required. Just conjecture but I suspect this study will be done. Just catching and arresting nursing home outbreaks would knock out a good chunk of the mortalities.

multivitamins are mostly useless waste of money. simple shit for simple people
best vitamins come from nutrition for fresh, unprocessed foods, not from stuff in plastic bottles or "neutraceuticals", none of which are regulated.
vit C in the body has a 1/2 life of 15 minutes, taking 20 x 1K vit C is effectively all gone within an hour.
btw, the usual Vit C is only about 50% bio-available (50% excreted)
several mushrooms, available in bulk powder/Amazon, tune up the immune system, while onions, garlic are anti-microbial, anti-viral
several foods are anti-inflammatory.
It's the intense, systemic inflammation caused by the raging immune system (cytokine storm) that damages or kills you, not the virus.
One of the freaky syndromes is victims coming for treatment with "flu-like" symptoms, nothing severe, but with serum oxygen levels in the 70s, where any doc seeing 90 or below would demand urgent care.

Hell yeah, man. I'm excited. I bought The Stand and a box of other assorted King books for about 20 bucks on Ebay. Luckily, one of those in the box was The Gunslinger; I had always wanted to get into the series and now I can. Can't wait. :tu

It really depends on who finds the formula(s), and where they manufacture. Regardless, it's not like there are massive novel virus vaccine manufacturing facilities just waiting to go. Just think of the problems with manufacturing with simple items, like tests or PPE, now imagine scaling that to a highly scientific concoction. Not easy.

Well, in historical context, we weren't a military power before WW2 and we weaponized pretty fast.
The bulk of the interstate highway system was built in less than 10 years. You can't get a pot hole fixed in six weeks nowadays.

Doesn't help that manufacturing has moved overseas. US isn't really participating in that insane tech growth outside of the entertainment industry and military sector while much of the essential work force is made up of low skilled workers propping up the rich, making poverty wages. It really hasn't been a surprise, to me at least, to see the US flounder to produce PPE, test, tracing, treatments, and keep it's most vulnerable safe and above water financially.
All we know how to do these days is make bombs, burgers, and breaks for billionaires.
