I’ve promoted the CDC guidelines and the gates to move between phases since day one. And % positive specifically. It’s one of the key measurements of that plan because it recognized that more tests would mean more cases. Not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also ignore the fact that the economic catastrophe was caused by such things as trump downplaying the virus (it’s their new hoax!), trying to wish it away (home by April!), and ignoring domestic warnings about the danger. Apparently you like fake winners and people who make hoaxy promises they don’t keep (wall! GDP! China deal!). I don’t. I prefer leaders who keep their word. Ok smart guy, what should have Trump done to stop the virus spread? A detailed answer is appreciated since you require specifics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is comedy gold right there. You are calling someone an ass because they might possibly could potentially do EXACTLY what you’re doing. Do you even think before you type? ? I’m pretty sure you misunderstood his last sentence there. What he meant was would you have felt the same way if a Dem President did exactly what Trump is doing. That’s how I took it.

shoshin Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Just one mention of percent positive. A lot more mentions about how good the Trump guidelines are everywhere in my posts. In other data news, though we have been much slower to decline on deaths than other countries, fingers crossed that we are actually on the downslope finally. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem paying for it because that is where billions in new debt will likely end up. Okay..so let me get this straight..a double blind study with positive verifiable results is rubbish. Gilead giving away 1.5 million doses, yes giving it away equals, thousands of dollars per dose. And I suppose the $1B spent on development of the drug should just be forgotten, after all it costs only $10 to produce. Eat the billion, its the socialist way! Man, you a Bernie guy? By this posts, sure sounds like it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll add earlier work on prophylactic measures (eg, promoting use of masks in keeping with domestic intel warnings from early 2020) and PPE production would have helped. But hey, the guy’s got next to nothing to show for 3.5 years in office (a point you have yet to meaningfully refute), so why set anything other than a low bar? Bottom line: you settle for a loser in a position of leadership. I don’t and won’t. That’s what sets us apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally has no ability to do anything other than represent the leftist message here, at news online message boards, etc. You can tell when you start to see his stuff is pretty much verbatim what you see everywhere else on other message boards. He usually is quick to push the new narrative (i.e. "yes, but Flynn lied, so that's all that mattered!") at the precise morning the left starts pushing it out. Watch. You'll see. Just a paid hack.Throw him on ignore and watch the board content get better immediately. There is quite a disparity between his posts. On the one hand he fumbles his way through a sentence with misspellings and bad grammar accentuated by the misuse of words then on the other hand he writes copies and pastes two or three paragraphs that are well written but FUBAR.

shoshin Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Another promising treatment study. A cocktail of several somewhat readily available drugs. Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 who received a combination therapy with three antivirals -- protease inhibitor lopinavir-ritonavir (Kaletra), nucleoside analogue ribavirin, and injectable interferon beta-1b (Betaseron, Extavia) -- showed significantly shorter median time to a negative SARS-CoV-2 test versus controls, a small phase II trial found. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was at Merck, I saw the time and money and dedication that truly brilliant and good people put in for 3-10 years only to see their hard work disappear in a proper study. It was heartbreaking. That’s why we do the studies. Smart dedicated people’s hopes and the $$ invested need verification. And those failed study moments are money the companies just lose. Reality sees Gilead as a villain in this. There is a newish anti-big-business sect. It’s a leftist message dressed up in right-wing conspiracy language that has rightish mass appeal because of its revolution undertone. A strange left-right bedfellow that neither side would ever admit. Edited May 9, 2020 by shoshin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoshin Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 ****** When the vaccine comes, let’s assume states require it for kids and certain jobs. Maybe travel requirements too. Do you think we are strong enough to all band together and take it as a whole like we did with smallpox? I see anti-vaccine, anti-mask, magical non-science thinking (who needs scientific studies of drug treatments when we have anecdotes?) and I wonder. I hope we can but I do wonder.
