Sad really. I have no doubt that some politicians are using it as a political ploy. “Never let a crisis go to waste.” That still doesn’t mean it isn’t a crisis. Or in some places, just warrants some extra diligence.
Obviously we can’t hide at home forever - but I hope that most folks will do whatever they can to be safe.
I see the images out of China and Ecuador. Easy to believe that they are fake or whatever. I think some other poster awhile ago said that actual images of dying people or body bags in U.S. hospitals is what some people need to realize this isn’t just a hoax. But I’m glad we are too civilized for that.
Maybe this family’s pleas will resonate with some.

These #COVID19 treatments appear to help patients:
1. Proning to improve hypoxia & prevent intubation
2. HCQ/Zpak/Zinc if used early otherwise useless
3. Remdesivir
4. IL6 inhibition (we use Tocilizumab & Sarilumab)
***This is our experience but more studies are needed
