Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, we're all gonna die.

They actually can and is legal as long as it's not a controlled substance. And apparently they did, not just for themselves but for their family (and let's be honest here, potential profit).

They couldn't possibly know it was effective, there were barely any studies that even discussed the drug as a treatment for covid at the time. Heck, it's effectiveness is still being investigated right now.



I do think people sometimes think the President is privy to information that the public isn't yet. Unfortunately, that can also deviate into irresponsible messaging that causes these kind of problems if the messenger is an idiot.

And to your latter point, yes, I agree that's also definitely an issue all too common in the US. I don't even think every doctor was a bad actor, but there's probably some of that going on: patients calling in asking doc if they can prescribe them that thing.

This whole thing got so politicized, I'm sure more than one found itself in a bind. It's just a ty situation all around that could've easily been avoided.

So you're saying that because a person who is universally known to not be a medical professional suggested hydroxychloroquine, trained physicians over-prescribed it to hoard it?

If that's the case who over prescribed toilet paper?

[baseline bum]

Sorry, you’re ed. But at least you already had it. Offer for a couple of pints still stands.

Don't know that I did, never could get tested.

TP doesn't need a prescription, nor lives depend on their availability (AFAIK).

Maybe in 8 months once we have antibody tests readily available for everyone...

[phxspurfan]

I can see tennis and golf for sure.

I really don't understand why golf is outlawed even now. Just tell people to stay at least 6' away from each other and clean clubs/surfaces with 50% hydrogen peroxide/water solution and wear a mask and you should be g2g, even without testing. And tennis probably the same.

Bryn forbes is our hero,tbh

the unkillable roach of the NBA

I'd rather catch Covid than watch Bryn Forbes again.

? you wouldn't pay $250 a seat to watch this??

[Spurs Homer]

You have so much in common with Trump s

nothing controversial -

I posted facts about dogs and you handwaved them off.

no -

i agree with your dog facts - and i am not defending hindus -

i was merely pointing out to FKLA - that claiming moral ground -
was based on cultural conditioning

i agree with your dog facts -

the other side of the planet has their own cultural beliefs/at udes on the moral issue is all

Not my state, Abbott will do whatever the Trump says. I fear Texas is going to open May 1st at Trump's suggestion and all our cities will become new hotspots.

Texas never had its first wave. Almost no one is immune. Ease up.. and r-naught does the rest.

If you can count on one thing during this, is that Cadet Bonespurs Mcgolfenpants will it up.

My worry:
He will get tired of listening to the experts, and will decide he knows better. They will lift the advisories, and people will die.

Well there is nowhere on Earth that is likely to have much immunity, not New York, not Northern Italy, not Wuhan, etc. Everyone is going to get slammed when Trump just opens the whole country up. And we haven't done with testing during this lockdown so when everything is opened back up I'm not at all optimistic.

I would imagine a lot of this initial buildup in San Antonio is completely unknown from lack of testing, but we do have one major hotspot at a nursing home on the SE side where almost all of the patients are COVID-19 positive. They have already had 10 of their 86 residents die of COVID.

Anitibody testing free at South Texas Blood and Tissue. Just email them when you were ill and date of last symptoms. You should be in the timeframe they are looking for like me. I get tested Thursday.

If positive, they just want your blood

What's the turnaround time?

[CosmicCowboy]

Apparently patient Zero for NYC came from Iran.

Whoopsie!

So Iran nuked us with the boogievirus?

[ChumpDumper]

No, nobody nuked anyone. Why do you call it that?

[SnakeBoy]

I didn't ask specifically but they are doing the tests onsite so shouldn't take long.

Trump and even Abbott could suggest we open but I suspect our big city mayors will use more discretion. There isn't a one size fits all with this stuff.

[CosmicCowboy]

Anyone seen a graph or daily number progression for San Antonio? If my sistercisxany example and test results are delayed a week then numbers couldxalready be much higher than claimed.
