Yesterday's thread here:

Here is an article explaining why it is important to listen to medical personal about the untested off-use of standard medication. One guy heard chloroquine, saw some was in his aquarium chemicals, and died trying it.
Also add
Loss of Smell and Taste
So we screen for temps, check the eyes and ask basic questions to check for other possible symptoms ?
That sounds like the effect that makeup artists use in the movies to make the actor look very ill, eyes rimmed in red.
“Keep in mind that most humans are not persuaded by data—they are persuaded by emotion.”
I showed my wife the recent comparison charts for the various countries of infected people - all starting at the day ten people were reached. The graph for the USA goes up very steep and very quickly compared to many/most of the other countries.
“I don’t believe it. What about all the people saying they felt sick back in December? I’m taking it seriously so as not to get sick, but I think it is just a lot to do over nothing. We’ll have more deaths if we have a second Great Depression if we keep everything shut down.”
She is doing everything she can (and that I ask her to do) to stay clean and safe, so no sense arguing. But it was interesting how she could just ignore the data. And she may be correct, like Trump, that we can’t have the cure worse than the virus.
I’m also curious as to her numbers of deaths in the USA “caused” by the Great Depression. She read it somewhere on line.
