First trial, rather than a few patients, starting now - using the stroke drug
“The research focuses on a drug called tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which is normally used to quickly dissolve blood clots that cause strokes or heart attacks.”

actually, an aspirin might be a good thing to take at the first sign of symptoms.. ??
As the Louisiana Dr says, time will tell. Right now it appears that the sampling population is rather small, while the results appear nearly spectacular. Caution lights are bound to flash.
The cocktail mix you mention I presume includes the Azithromycin and zinc. The Azithromycin {Z-pack} is a logical companion to an antiviral respiratory therapy. The coronavirus attacks the lungs and weakens them which makes them vulnerable to bacterial pneumonia.
Many people do not realize that they carry various pneumonia pathogens in their lungs for whatever reason. Their natural immune system holds the threat at bay, but a weakening of the organism increases the risk. Antibiotics are fairly easy to get to the lungs due to a profusion of blood flowing through there to exchange O2 and CO2 constantly.
The bronchial tubes are different; for some time the best drugs to reach the bronchial tubes that are infected was sulfa drugs {Sulfamethoxazole, Trimethoprim, Bactrim} but after a short while the cure got about as bad as the disease in some respects. {The same held true for urinary tract infections.} Newer antibiotics are overcoming these shortcomings and Azithromycin is apparently one of them. Early CoViD-19 infections were ID'd as pneumonia and bronchitis until culturing was done, so Azithromycin seems a reasonable companion drug to an antiviral.
As for the zinc - well, I suppose it is anyone's guess. I think zinc has been demonstrated to somewhat block virus access to penetrating the body's {pulmonary} cells; there is evidence that high levels of zinc can prove destructive to the organism as a whole. Given many people's propensity to reason that, if 10 mg of zinc can be helpful, they will take a half of a pound, it is best to caution folks to approach that very cautiously or just leave it alone.
Ibuprofen is a no no.
I don't know if aspirin falls in that category. I'm drug illiterate.
So you’re a Yooper, eh? :)
Beautiful area, the UP. For a few years, we would drive up to Hessel from Ohio, and spend Labor Day weekend visiting the scenery (and chillin’ on the dock, and in the cabins). Winter starts a little earlier in the UP than it does in Cleveland!

Since there is no source, I'm calling the tweet FAKE Fake News.
This is going off personal experience working as a reporter for a small newspaper, a sports reporter, and looking at news sites. A significant number of stories use stock photos, releases from outside agencies, and the person making the report never visits the scene. If you see a story about a car wreck, and the photo is a cop car with the lights on, it's probably a stock photo and the story was written off a police press report.
There's a good possibility that a lot of these pandemic stories are written from press releases and using stock ER photos.
That looks to me like the MSM is reusing footage - they need footage from a hospital that’s “overrun” so they’re using what they can find - and now their stories have begun overlapping revealing such reuse. This is similar to something I recall last year all will remember when they showed an “attack” in Syria I believe and in fact it was at some shooting range in Kentucky or something.
Sadly the Nanzi virus does not die with temperatures 77F and above nor when in direct sunlight for a few hours.
Because the Ratings of my News Conferences etc. are so high, Bachelor finale, Monday Night Football type numbers according to the @nytimes, the Lamestream Media is going CRAZY. Trump is reaching too many people, we must stop him. said one lunatic. See you at 5:00 P.M.!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 29, 2020
Nope, I’m a troll, but I’m only 100 miles south of the UP. Glad you enjoyed the UP....it’s my 2nd favorite place to be..#1 is Wyoming! Let’s just say I get to the 2nd a lot more than the 1st.
No, you have misread what I posted.
I indicated the much broader “Jeffersonian concept” of property, not his change to the Locke-ian language.
Jefferson was not one to speak in aphorisms.
Property
Land
From which one draws life
A living, a sense of self, a legacy.
Land worth defending

We have friends with homes in Harbour Springs. Hubby spent several summers at Grayling with the NG. Beautiful area of the US.
But. but, but
You and I only have 3 weeks, 4 weeks tops, to “fix our State.”.

Hmm, that’s interesting. The two maps both purport to be the end of week 12 which ends March 21. The difference appears to be the reporting departments/agencies/whatever.
First map with lots of red:
ILI Activity Map
Data collected in ILINet are used to produce a measure of ILI activity* by state.
During week 12, the following ILI activity levels were experienced:
High the District of Columbia, New York City, Puerto Rico, and 34 states (Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin)
Moderate 10 states (Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wyoming)
Low - two states (Alaska and Delaware)
Minimal - four states (Arizona, Florida, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island)
Data were insufficient to calculate an ILI activity level from the U.S. Virgin Islands
A Weekly Influenza Surveillance Report Prepared by the Influenza Division
Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) Activity Level Indicator Determined by Data Reported to ILINet
Second map showing much less flu activity for same time period, aha, shows spread not severity:
The influenza activity reported by state and territorial epidemiologists indicates geographic spread of influenza viruses but does not measure the severity of influenza activity.
During week 12, the following influenza activity was reported:
Widespread Puerto Rico and 38 states (Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin)
Regional 10 states (Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming)
Local the District of Columbia and two states (Alaska and Hawaii)
Sporadic the U.S. Virgin Islands
Guam did not report.

That, my FRen is an EXACT quote from my mother-in-law who grew up as part of the Hitler Youth.
Sometimes Godwin’s Rule must take a back seat to the repetition of history.
So let's neuter the fools in Lansing!!
Interesting thought there.
The highest rate of hospitalization is among adults aged ≥ 65, followed by children aged 0-4 years and adults aged 50-64 years.
More info about the graph and hospitalizations at link.
OK Go on! You could be onto something, all of sudden Andy “found” 40,000 ventilators? Seems like a lot. Code going on between Q and the cabal?
