I hear you and mostly agree, but quinine does have a lot of side effects, and not everybody will be a good candidate for it. In other words, if you treated everyone with quinine, some would most certainly die as a result of the treatment. And with politicized medicine, a single death is sufficient to shut down (cancel) all further exploration.

Can’t post from ZeroHedge, but they are reporting that the In Germany, the Finance Minister for the state of Hesse committed suicide by train. Left two kids under 13.

This was days after announcing support for small business help during the crisis. His name is Thomas Schäfer.

Interesting tidbit - Germany’s economics minister is a gent named Tarek Al-Wazir. I did not think that possible in Germany, but there you have it.

That is true of every drug really - note the long, disclaimer fine print on virtually every medicine package, prescription or not.

As this is a known drug, with known side effects, its potential downside is already pretty well-known. I think a couple of freepers expressed concern that they have had a bad reaction to this particular medication.

Watching Wobbly Lindsay Graham on Maria. He just talked with Fauci, and is now cautioning against opening economy.

Graham reminds me of a CEO I once knew. It was said of him: "He's the most powerful guy in the company. The SECOND MOST POWERFUL is whomever person he just spoke with."
