  "Well, studies are currently under way.  No proof yet they do much.  Mass market would be months away"

for vaccine, yes, but chloroquinone + z pack has been used in studies quite successfully by renowned french doc. 5-6 days and virus is gowne!  granted the numbers of patients tested aren't large, but from what they've seen, it's better than nothing.  better than drinking fish tank water.  the drugs themselves have been in use for many years.  we have used many drugs "side effects" for uses other than their primary intentions many times

OK.  Not going to argue.  I'll let you keep holding your breath on that.  I feel like you've invested in the solution and hope it works miracles (so that you make money).   But even if it's a miracle worker (it's probably not), I'm betting that it won't be widely recommended for at least 90 days.

[Pakuni]

Maybe. It might be also catastrophic if we don't. There is no good decision here.

Given a choice between health catastrophe and economic catastrophe, you say ... eh, flip a coin?

" invested"?  Don't even know who makes it. Pfizer and a bunch of others. Same for azithromycin.  If you know which company makes the "best generic". I'm all ears.  Let me go grab my checkbook. 

If these continue to show the efficacy it has, katy bar the door. This is how the research and clinical testing is supposed to work while they continue to work on a vaccine. 

If you had a mild to nasty case of coved-19, wouldn't you want to take it?  I know I would and yes I would recommend to any family member under same conditions,  unless there were other underlying factors.

Just trying to be half-full I guess

If I had a mild case, I'd ride it out.  If I had a nasty case, I'd leave the big decisions to the medical professionals, not try to tell them what chemical cocktail I think they they should give me.  I think they're better suited to make that decision.

Oh, I think we all know you're well PAST half full of it!

i knew when i posted that it was wide open for something like that.   just didn't think it would have been from you. 

  oh, and thank you for your "heart felt" response to the disclosure of my 84 year old dad being left alone in his nursing home...oh well

rocket
Why do you bother with these fools. True colors have been exposed to the highest level. The total lack of respect on here is disgusting. Sadly, a moderator shows so much disrespect to fellow scoopers and allows others to do the same.
I feel extremely badly for the situation that your family currently is experiencing. I am sending my prayers to your Mom and Dad and hope they can see each other sooner than later.

I was legitimately relieved for rocket that they shut his dad's home down to visitors.  It's the safest option for nursing homes.
My 80 YO mom lives alone in NM and I've advised her to avoid contact with others. 

Take care all.

Hard to say.

Not really.

WTF is wrong with people?  Everywhere else in the world, nations are shutting down the economy and providing financial security for its citizens.  And what are we doing?  Worrying about the economy and figuring out how many lives are worth it.

And this is lead by people who likely label themselves as "pro-life."

Such a flippant, simplistic statement. I expect better from someone with your intellect.

Who in their right mind would wanna go to a packed church anytime soon.

[The Sultan]

The local police chief had to go on the morning news to tell people to stop calling 9-1-1 and telling on their neighbors who are outside or taking "suspicious" car rides.

Lol That's some 1700s Puritan neighborhood stuff right there.

Certainly not angry. And in the unlikely event that you don't expect better from yourself, not disappointed either.

[Silent Verbal]

Probably lots of people.  If bars opened back up this weekend, there'd be lines out the door at every one of them.  If the Brewers announced they were playing tomorrow, there'd be 40,000 people at the stadium, all of them tailgating.  The only way to get the general public to stop doing this stuff is to literally take away the option.  It sucks, but it is what it is.

I thought my snark was an appropriate response. Certainly harsher things could be - and have been - said to those who seem willing to trade lives for money.
I respect your feelings of disappointment in my remarks.

Fcukwits like Roy Moore

"Moore has been critical of efforts to "flatten the curve" on the coronavirus by closing schools, businesses, and Churches and has recently compared those actions to the works of "tyrants."

"I am writing a letter to pastors on the duty to continue church assemblies, even in the midst of these trying times," Moore added. "Our faith requires it, our duty demands it, and no law or government can prohibit it. See our Facebook page for more information."

Britt Hume has joined the "Let Old People Die" brigade, I see.
