Every day, this is starting to look more and more like biological warfare.

NY = +599 for today (i.e., yesterday tab). Does that sound right?

“please go back and quote the posts where I “hoped” it would be really bad...”

They have to claim that preemptively so that (they think) we can’t call them on their insouciance. Since it looks like the mitigation is making a difference (hopefully) it won’t be as bad as the “if we do nothing” scenarios, but they will ignore the fact that it will only get as bad as however it gets, instead of much worse, because of all the measures they opposed.

No doubt they’ll try to claim credit somehow for beating the virus.

Wait until they realize the economic crash and new great depression they are hoping for didn’t happen.

Donald Trump has asked the CEOs of Amgen, Genetech, Gilead and Regeneron to liaise with Boris Johnson’s doctors and provide them with their groundbreaking knowledge and also allow immediate access to the current drugs which are showing best progress in the reversing of Covid19.

Mysterious Heart Damage, Not Just Lung Troubles, Befalling COVID-19 Patients

While the focus of the COVID-19 pandemic has been on respiratory problems and securing enough ventilators, doctors on the front lines are grappling with a new medical mystery.

In addition to lung damage, many COVID-19 patients are also developing heart problems — and dying of cardiac arrest.

As more data comes in from China and Italy, as well as Washington state and New York, more cardiac experts are coming to believe the COVID-19 virus can infect the heart muscle. An initial study found cardiac damage in as many as 1 in 5 patients, leading to heart failure and death even among those who show no signs of respiratory distress.

Trump: I have asked US pharma CEOs to offer Johnson experimental Covid-19 treatments

Describing Monday’s call with the four pharmaceutical company heads, the White House spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, said: “We are working hard to tear down barriers, cut red tape, & encourage cooperation across private industries and government.”

Assuming the heart damage info is accurate, would supplementing with QH and PQQ help ameliorate that?

They have every right to congregate, but they are breathtakingly stupid, should they actually do so.

If I get this thing, and it’s severe, I think I’ll just ask for a cannula or oxygen mask and have them crank it to the max. Those ventilators are mechanical doom.

I hope you classmate survives and gets better.

“Not either of you, but there was/is one FReeper that earlier was congratulating himself/herself on getting close to his “guess” on when COVID-19 would be diagnosed in all 50 states.”

Well, there are plenty of FluBros that have congratulated themselves that “only” so many people died, or that it was “only” old, sick people. And plenty perpetuating all sorts of lies to diminish the problem so they can still pretend it is “just the flu, bro” while willfully putting even more people at risk.

If there is “sickness” in this forum, it is largely among those that profess to be conservatives, yet worship the almighty dollar above the lives of countless Americans that just may have been saved by the actions of the Trump administration.

Well, well....

Detroit Dem says Trump’s touting of hydroxychloroquine helped save her life

A Democratic state representative from Detroit has recovered from coronavirus and she says it was the combination of the drug hydroxychloroquine and President Trump that saved her life.

State Rep. Karen Whitsett’s husband is an engineer at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and the two believe they were exposed to COVID-19 through his job.

Sweden had a large spike today. +76 deaths. Many more countries now have had ten or greater fatalities than when I first starting tracking this:

I suspect it hides in human cells and Prevotella bacteria. It lives in Prevotella while in the Horseshoe bat.

Another interesting behavior of Prevotella is going after porphyrin, heme and human hemoglobin as a source of iron used in the black pigment characteristic of this genus.

“So based on what we know today, this China virus is not, in fact and as the anti-flubros proffer, “just like the regular flu”; this China virus appears to be significantly less virulant and signficantly less lethal than the “regular flu”.”

That’s just flat out stupid.

The “absolute numbers” argument is a logical fallacy. It’s so January.

The whole point of doing what we are doing is to keep the relative number of infections down as long as we can. I know you’ve seen the scenarios where we just “let ‘er rip”. But you simply ignore data and conclusions you do not like. And now you’re doing victory laps? One of the “only” so many people have died sickos I just referenced.

looks like they and BNO stopped with the 2 updates a day and just are going with the state numbers each morning

the 250ish deaths in NYC today will just be added with the state totals in the morning
