Masks were to be used, then they shouldn't, then they should per our medical experts.There was the story out of Stanford early on that mouthwash killed the virus, then it was debunked as a myth, now yesterday a strong push again that mouthwash may kill the virus and be a treatment (limited) for this.Virus was contagious person to person, then it wasn't (WHO), then it was.I feel bad for the medical experts because they do not know. It is also why people are frustrated because they are used to some MacGyver 1 hour solution. In my opinion it is also why people (including politicians) entertain other ideas that may or may not work in the hope of a magical elixir. The back and forth of what is or isn't effective and the continual changes by experts doesn't help.
forgetful, is the timeline mostly driven by the need to ramp up mass production? Or is there still a lengthy period of testing to prove efficacy and safety?
Can you please point to the medical expert who suggested that injecting Lysol into the human body would cure COVID-19?Thanks!
Or UV light?
I drank a 175 of UV Blue Vodka and all I got was a hangover
But did you get COVID?
Even from one of the most monstrous people on Earth, this is stunning:“When you test, you have a case. When you test, you find something is wrong with people. If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases."I'd like to rant or editorialize about this, but I can't find the words.
It really is stunning that the True Believers can brush off this kind of statement and still support him, but I have become resigned to the fact that it is true. It hearkens back to his statement about shooting someone on 5th Avenue and not losing any support. Back then, I thought it was a load of crap, but with the benefit of time, I have come to see that he was right. Nothing he could do would be a bridge too far for the True Believers.

Honest question: did you know what he meant? Because I'm amazed at the number of people who hear him say things -- admittedly often very inarticulately -- and then latch onto the worst possible interpretation. But I've become resigned to it.
I am guilty of that from time to time. Conversely, I can't imagine a positive interpretation for some of his statements. I would appreciate the insight on the positive interpretations.
I agree. Many times, he says stupid things and there are no positive interpretations. He gives plenty of legitimate ammo for those who want to criticize. That's one of the reasons I get annoyed. In the quote above, he was discussing the same thing that has been discussed on this board repeatedly: using the number of cases to assess how things are going is flawed because the more tests we do, the more cases we identify. Not a controversial statement. He said it very poorly, but I think that it's pretty obvious that is what he was talking about.Edited to add: I sincerely wish the president was communicating and leading effectively during this crisis. I don't think he is. He obviously has many shortcomings. But I have seen time and time again that his statements are distorted and misrepresented and it becomes very tiresome.

This is not very good news ...https://time.com/5837531/sailors-coronavirus-second-time/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=the-brief-pm&utm_&fbclid=IwAR3rNzlgmafYjdK6hVX6TITYs7xSCV0uD9zhcfgETzA-Guq8CjEFb3y-5mc(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — Five sailors on the aircraft carrier sidelined in Guam due to a COVID-19 outbreak have gotten the virus for the second time and have been taken off the ship, according to the Navy.The resurgence of the virus in the five sailors on the USS Theodore Roosevelt underscores the befuddling behavior of the highly contagious virus and raises questions about how troops that test positive can be reintegrated into the military, particularly on ships.All five sailors had previously tested positive and had gone through at least two weeks of isolation. As part of the process, they all had to test negative twice in a row, with the tests separated by at least a day or two before they were allowed to go back to the ship.Yep. We still have absolutely no idea how many folks who get infected and recover will be immune. It might be a large percentage, or it might be a lot fewer than everybody hopes.I hate this shyte!
