COVID-19 (f/k/a "the Coronavirus")

[jesmu84]

First of all, you aren't supposed to ingest it. People should know that. That's pretty obvious. Second of all, how about we be a bit fair here and also post an article that shows what can happen when done properly..

Wut?

Please tell me about the route of administration for chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine.

Wut?

It's a topical cream? Or maybe a mouth wash?

@DrEricDing: Italy 🇮🇹 is bending the arc and rounding the corner hopefully. For 2nd consecutive day, new #COVID19 cases lower than day before. Today's death toll (601), yesterday (651), day before (793). Let's keep up the lockdown. Other countries pay attention. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1242214658523705344/photo/1

That's great news.

Butt chugging, obviously.  But you still have to spit it out, because, you can't ingest it. We all should know that.

This makes sense, it's like reverse osmosis.

This was inevitable sadly.

They found fish tank cleaner in the back of their pantry and decided to self medicate.  Darwin just catching up to some old folks that got missed.  But OMB.

How many people died from H1N1 under your boy Obama's watch before he even declared it a National emergency??

Zero. It was declared a public health emergency on April 26th 2009, when there were only 20 cases in the entire US, and zero deaths.

Now, I guess, you have a point on "National Emergency," but that is semantics.

I don't think my opinion makes any difference, I consider myself fiscally conservative and socially liberal. To me, the downfall of Trump throughout this crisis is that he can't blame a person and pin this on that one person. A pathogen has no face, no personality, it can't be bullied or yelled at. With lives and livelihoods at stake, literally no one has time for what is going on from a leadership standpoint at the Federal level. Good leaders and politicians are great sellers of hope. Right now demand is at an all time high, but sadly supply is at an all time low.

Agreed. In the midst of a crisis, people need a reason for hope...but the hope needs to be based on the facts. Unfortunately, we are being told to hope by someone who also tells us to disregard the facts we're getting from the medical community.

Good language here. We don't need a message of hate. We don't need someone to blame. We need and want a message of hope and togetherness.

COVID-19 surviving up to 17 days on surfaces. That's not good.

Reverse assmosis.  Come on.

Yeah okay...let me ask you a question..I know you're not an honest guy so I don't expect to get an honest answer..How many people died from H1N1 under your boy Obama's watch before he even declared it a National emergency?? He's handling this crisis just fine. No democrat like you thinks he is, but he is. I love the liberal talking point that "people are dying!". Did people seriously expect absolutely NO ONE to die because of this?? Sure seems that way. That's ridiculous. NO ONE ever wants to see people die..ever, for any reason, but thousands of people die in this country every day for reasons totally unrelated to Coronavirus..amazingly we don't see the outrage over that, yet it's still people dying...Hmmm but there's no liberal agenda, is there??

I have news for you and your fellow liberals...people die..all of us do at some point. That's just a reality and FACTS. You know, something your fellow media wonks don't know anything about. They sure don't print them or cite them that's for sure.

Yeah okay ... outstanding whataboutism! Wonderful goalpost shifting, too.

Yes, people die. Even though I usually take the side of the "enemy of the people" media -- all of whom deny every day that people die -- I will cede that FACT to you.

You're not a stupid guy, guru.

Scary thing is that there is information coming out now of  cases of Corona Virus survivors who have incurred lung damage.  Some recovered victims start wheezing when walking fast/running.  It's not known if this is permanent damage as there isn't enough data on the victims but this could be a mutation.

That's not new information, fyi

This is just insane. This is not being habdled "fine". Im not sure it could have been handled that much worse. Trump shrugged this thing off time and time again until it was to late. Our restrictions are half assed and most places people can still go out wherever. You can still party on the beach. Can still gather in megachurches in many place. These lackluster restrictions combined with many Americans just not caring and ignoring guidelines will lead to the loss of countless lives. We didnt do enough. Hospitals will be overwhelmed in the coming weeks. We are gonna sky rocket past everyone else with the most cases in the world second to maybe india when its all done. Its a gonna be a shi t show. H1n1 killed 17k here. This will kill minimum 500k. This isnt a partisan issue just about the ppl

Lot of claiming being made in the article.  If it is proven by facts that would be great.  But a lot of smart people don't think it will work.

What the actual f?

@ndrew_lawrence: Tx Lt Gov Dan Patrick says grandparents would be willing to die to save the economy for their grandchildren https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1242245135129346050/video/1

Even if I take this guy the most charitable way possible, he thinks what makes America great is dependent on how well the economy is doing. Not that we take care of those who are most vulnerable.

Looks like god suddenly loves multi billionaires and doesnt care about the workets. That couple is worth over 6 billion. Despite the bible being obviously anti rich and says they do not go to heaven these two dont seem to care. Cherry picking is fun

Health, happiness and sanity to all.

This really went off the rails lately. It's really not that hard to keep the political bickering out of this.
