It Has To be taken under a doctors supervision, and if combined with certain other drugs it can cause death or other life threatening side effects. Even all on its own it can cause life threatening side effects. It has a very narrow therapeutic window - the difference between an effective dose and a toxic dose is much smaller than other drugs. And it can have many very strange side effects. and it is an immuno-suppressive drug. It shuts down your immune system. That’s why they use it for diseases that attack your immune system like Rheumatoid arthritis (and also why they say people on immune-suppressive drugs are at higher risk of getting COVID19). So for people to take it that are not sick, it could actually cause a lot more harm than good by suppressing their immune system and making them more vulnerable to getting sick. Just look at the list of medications it interacts with- (there’s about 100. A huge number). Look at all the medical problems you have to be cautious of when taking this drug. https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/hydroxychloroquine-oral-route/precautions/drg-20064216?p=1

This is what every other country is doing too (at least in every press conference I’ve watched). We are the only country with a leader constantly contradicting the experts and also giving completely unqualified and unproven advise. It’s crazy. I’ve never seen anything like it before in my life.

Tomorrow MSG starts airing the 2006 playoff series against Philly. I believe the 1st game has Brian Campbell’s hit on RJ Umberger.

Not that I’m aware of. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/airline-news/2020/03/31/coronavirus-us-crisis-why-airlines-still-flying/2918233001/ Just recommendations to avoid discretionary travel.

Summary of yesterday’s national press conference: https://www.npr.org/2020/04/04/826741317/federal-government-implements-relief-as-nation-reels-from-coronavirus-pandemic

That damn Carol Baskin...

She gave a damn good speech.

Reports that captain Crozier has (supposedly) tested positive for COVID19. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/05/magazine/navy-captain-crozier-positive-coronavirus.html

Yes, the answer is quite clearly that we need more ventilators from the federal stockpile. also, iirc Mark poloncarz said that he isn’t giving up any of our ventilators in Erie county. I’m hoping that we are exempt anyway since our case #’s are the second highest in the state. As you said we are likely going to need all our ventilators. I don’t envy the position Cuomo is in though. It’s a no-win situation. Do you let people in NYC die now to save people upstate later? Do you let people upstate die later to save people in NYC? It’s not a decision he should even have to make. We should be given enough ventilators to fill our current need.

I haven’t played fallout ‘76. But Yes, fallout 4 is definitely more refined compared to fallout 3. But it’s never going to be halo (it is similar to GTA in my opinion, another game with clunky combat mechanics imo). The gaming engine they use is just different than halo. I felt the same way as you when I first started playing fallout 3. I died an awful lot in the beginning. I’m not sure why I ended up sticking with it but I did, and now fallout is one of my favorite game series ever. I’ve played fallout 3, fallout new Vegas (buggy) and fallout 4 (best fallout game IMO. Graphics are amazing).

On the firing of captain captain crozier from yesterday’s press conference:

I feel the same way. I’ve said it all season - if anything, I think he’s MORE invested now.

1140 ventilators were donated to NYS today - 140 from Oregon and 1000 from China. https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2020/04/oregon-sends-140-ventilators-to-new-york-gov-kate-brown-we-are-all-in-this-together.html?outputType=amp&__twitter_impression=true Im hoping that means our ventilators stay in WNY. I don’t envy the position Cuomo is in though. It’s a no-win decision. Either way people likely die. Not a decision i’d want to make. Clearly the answer is that NYS needs more ventilators (despite what the federal govt. is saying). I’m praying they find enough to fill their needs and nobody upstate or in NYC has to go without them.

Came across this and thought I’d share: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-buying-guide,5643.html and this: https://windowsreport.com/multiple-monitor-desktop-computers/

Should be a pretty good game tonight. Iirc I believe they said there was a bunch of goals scored in this game.

Check out this site. They have a bunch of pre-built computers if you don’t want to build your own. You can also pick a basic build and upgrade one or more components. https://www.ibuypower.com/Site/Computer/IntelDesktop (this is the intel processor section) If you want at least 8 cores in an intel processor, I believe you’re looking at at least a high end i7, or an i9 processor (which all have at least 8 cores iirc). I believe all i5 processors are 4 cores. AMD processors have more given codes at each price point but I’ve read intel offers more general computing performance (I’m not knowledgeable enough to really comment on the differences).

https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/nier-automata If anyone has Xbox game pass, they just added Nier: Automata. It’s a PlayStation exclusive. really good game if you’ve never played it.
