It would seem in retrospect Newsome’s assertion that he could declare martial law if he wanted to was unnecessary and a bit reckless. I was struck by the ongoing cl&strrf$ck of the beach situation.

That article was written in 2006 and scientists have been aware of the threat of such a virus for a long time. Strange times we live in. Twitter science is often perceived as better than actual science. Finding a source to promote a preconceived notions is all that matters. There's an article cited by here that says cloth masks are ineffective in hospital settings for health care workers. Patients aren't wearing them in the study. The HCWs are exposed all day to hundreds of sick people. No tracking of cleaning or changing masks. And that study is extrapolated to justify a belief that masks are useless. The CDC says to wear them. the White House requires them. An article gathering tens of papers noting how effective they are to stem spread gets dismissed. It's a faith that hot and itchy masks make no difference. It is reminiscent of the creationists who revel in finding something that confounds evolutionary biologists and seize on it as evidence that evolution is wrong. It's an anti-science bent.

shoshin Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) It looks like the TB vaccine studies are starting. We discussed this somewhere in the depths of this thread and hopefully the testing shows something promising. The correlative data points (countries that still give TB vaccines show lower spread and mortality) right now could be due to a lot of factors so actual tests will be important to see if the vaccine itself helps or not. Quote First hurdle overcome ThePaul Ehrlich Institute has already approved the phase III clinical trial for VPM1002 against COVID-19. It is being conducted at various German hospitals, including the Hannover Medical School (MHH). As of the beginning of May, scientists have been testing whether the new tuberculosis vaccine activates the immune system in a non-specific way. "This should help to alleviate the severe progression of respiratory diseases such as COVID-19," Jacobus Bosch tells DW. He is one of the scientists in the team headed by Professor Christoph Schindler, who is lead author of the study. It focuses on the vaccine's effect as a possible agent against COVID-19. "The new tuberculosis vaccine VPM 1002 will be tested in Hanover exclusively for its efficacy in the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic situation," says Bosch. The first nationwide study involves 1,000 test persons. They all work in the medical field and are therefore particularly exposed to a possible infection. "In a further study, we plan to investigate the efficacy of the improved tuberculosis vaccine VPM1002 in people over the age of 60. The question here is whether VPM1002 can effectively protect this age group, which is currently particularly at risk," the study's director, Schindler, explains. The second study will involve 2,000 volunteers from all over Germany It may prove to be another Covid treatment dead end but it's something to watch. The idea here is not that it will work to keep everyone safe like a Civid-19 specific vaccine, but it may crank up the immune response enough that we respond better and faster to Covid, keeping it more manageable.

shoshin Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) The Remdesivir studies are also increasing in scope, as scientists look to pair it with other treatments since its effectiveness is incomplete. Quote Remdesivir, originally aimed at treating Ebola, has emerged as the go-to Covid-19 treatment. Federal health regulators quickly authorized its emergency use May 1, after it proved effective in a large, rigorously-designed study. Hospitals are lined up for doses. But the drug isn’t a silver bullet. So far at least, it has shown to be only modestly effective in treating a sliver of very sick patients. Remdesivir’s standard use in Covid-19 treatment “can be misleading because it suggests this is very, very good therapy, but it isn’t,” said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “It’s standard because it’s better than nothing,” Dr. Fauci said. 3 minutes ago, Reality Check said: Quick question. How come after these presidential press conferences the reporters tend to take their masks off and completely ignore the social distancing? As of yesterday, everyone in the WH has to wear a mask.
