Well DUH!!! We won't tell the peons Jack Schiff!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Just Senators?

Not the House?

Nancy, you’re being dissed. Demand that the House be included!!!

[ncfool]

GILEAD SCIENCES INC up 12% since January 27.

[Jewbacca]

The Chinese finally admitted it didn’t come from the market.

They haven’t admitted the next step we all known to be true.

Nancy, you’re being dissed. Demand that the House be included!!!

No worries, Trump has a plane for them to fly a delegation to Wuhan.

[mewzilla]

My ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War.

Seems to me we’ve squandered what they fought for and just replaced one *#$!&# House of Lords with another.

Are the ChicComs still refusing to allow the CDC in?

[alabama_heart]

Probably will come from Schumer’s office...someone heard that someone heard that someone heard.

[CedarDave]

It may have come from a Harvard University lab from a biochemist who was working for China, and transported to the university in Wuhan where it got loose.

Yeah, but it’s Manu over twitter.

The sourcing makes this questionable.

Weird enough to be skeptical.

Clinical trials of an experimental antiviral drug said to “show promise” in treating the deadly coronavirus are still far from fulfilling patient recruitment targets more than two weeks in, raising questions about whether they can be completed within previously projected timelines.

Double-blind trials of Gilead Sciences’ drug, remdesivir, are now taking place in 10 hospitals in Wuhan, vice-minister of science and technology Xu Nanping said at a press conference on Friday.

Currently, the trials involve more than 200 severe patients and over 30 mild or moderate cases, according to Xu. This is up from the 168 severe and 17 mild or moderate cases reported by Xu’s colleague Zhang Xinmin at a separate press conference on Saturday, but still less than a third of the targeted total of 760 patients, according to documents for the study listed on ClinicalTrials.gov, an international clinical trial registry run by the United States National Library of Medicine.

The researchers had aimed to recruit 308 mild and moderate patients with the novel coronavirus and 452 severe cases, with both trials involving hospitalised patients with Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, taking a nine-day dose of the drug to test its efficacy and safety.

Patients who have received any other experimental treatments within 30 days of the time they are screened are excluded from the remdesivir trials, according to the documents on ClinicalTrials.gov, possibly limiting the pool of qualified candidates, especially as authorities ramp up containment measures.

Gilead’s chief medical officer Merdad Parsey told state-run press agency Xinhua on Monday that the company was expecting the results of clinical trials for remdesivir in April.

They will be assured that they will be safe and protected. The rest of us? Not so much... we’ll be on our own.

classified?

I had the very same thought. This smells rotten.

[Aevery_Freeman]

That's a bridge too far for me but I do wish they had not blocked Trump's immigration policy.

After that maneuver, the Deep State nor the 'Ratz dare touch this one!

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

The Senators will discuss emergency action for themselves and their families.

[BusterDog]

They are supposed to be in session till March 13, then take a week off for a state work period.

It will be interesting to see whether they stay in DC or go home, and if they stay in DC do they bring their families there.

US senators will be briefed tomorrow on coronavirus
From CNN’s Manu Raju

All US senators will be briefed Tuesday morning at 8 a.m. in a classified setting on the novel coronavirus, two sources with knowledge of the plans tell CNN.

One source said that the briefing will be in a classified setting because the senators who are organizing it wanted to be prepared in case a senator asks a question that can only be answered in a classified setting.
