We’re going to hit 2500, maybe 2600, but nowhere near 3500. It’s a bad day, but we are still peaking at about 2,000/day. Don’t dwell on single days, or even 2 or 3. It will go down.

"NIH Panel Recommends Against Drug Combination Trump Has Promoted For COVID-19

- see http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3837500/posts

This caught my eye:


Considerations for Certain Concomitant Medications in Patients with COVID-19 Summary Recommendations

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs):

Persons with COVID-19 who are prescribed ACE inhibitors or ARBs for cardiovascular disease (or other indications) should continue these medications (AIII).

The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel (the Panel) recommends against the use of ACE inhibitors or ARBs for the treatment of COVID-19 (emphasis added) outside of the setting of a clinical trial (AIII).


What exactly are they saying? Are they saying that ACE inhibitors or ARBs are being used by some doctors for treatment of COVID-19? Wasn't the though that ACE inhibitors could be a potential liability if infected with COVID-19?

Why all the rush to the salons? I haven’t been to one since the 80s. Hubby cuts mine and I cut his. Never once had my nails done and don’t understand it at all.

There is a commercial for some sort of hair balm with women complaining they didn’t have water for days and were worried about their hair. Say what? No water to drink but they’re worried about their hair. SMH.

We’re opening up businesses just in time for the Easter cases to start popping up. Brilliant, not. My county just had a jump over the weekend.

“HCQ/Zpak/Zinc if used early otherwise useless”

The problem is, the doctors don’t pay victims any attention or test them until it’s too late. You have to be a celeb or comgresscritter to get early care.

I am expecting the Northeastern states numbers (cases and deaths) to gradually go down over the next month or so.

Meanwhile, I would anticipate the southern (and perhaps some other) states that open up will start going up in cases in the next couple of weeks, and up in deaths in the next month or so.

The other X factor is urbanization. Rural states should generally be OK as long as they continue to ban large gatherings.

Cities to watch in the next month include Atlanta, the Tennessee large cities and Las Vegas if they open up for business.

I agree with that. The models all seem to show a bell curve that tapers off as fast as it rose. While NY might look that way alone, there are a lot of other cities and states at various places in their own curve, along with different policies to fit their own politics, economies, and pain thresholds. It took us 13 days to get from 300 deaths/day to 2,000. It’s going to take a lot longer than that to get back down. It could take a while to drop below 1K/day.

“There ARE NOT tons of people running around out there that have already had it and showed no symptoms.”

I know, I agree. I suspect that virtually EVERYONE had some degree of exposure (and that was true probably by mid-Feb). If it was a very low exposure (the vast majority of exposures back then), their immune system quietly fought it off and left a few antibodies, but it doesn’t mean they’re now immune, or even close.

So how about a test? Send the some of the FluBros who haven’t been sick, but test positive for the antibodies into a Coronavirus ward and have them hang out there for an hour or so with severely infected people, and WITHOUT any PPE.

We all know what the result would be of that test - the FluBros will RUN FOR THE HILLS and refuse to get near infected people.
