Delingpole: Chloroquine Known as Effective Against Coronavirus Since 2005. It is now a generic drug and no longer useful to big Pharma.

I’ll take a look, but the Atlantic is usually not reliable on anything even vaguely political.

“To achieve this, we need to test many, many people, even those without symptoms. Testing will allow us to isolate the infected so they can’t infect others. We need to be vigilant, and willing to quarantine people with absolute diligence.”

Yes.

This article is alright.

Not political.

Good read. Hopeful, but realistic.

We need to quarantine New York City.

It’s our Wuhan, our Milan, our Daegu.

No. If it's so damned important why didn't you post the whole thing?

“While many watched the coronavirus spread across the globe with disinterest for months...”

For months????

Let’ see. The Chinese government kept it hid for six weeks, until January, and in a short time Trump acted.

However, who do you think he is referring to with that statement?

Why isn’t using the antibody-laden serum from infected people who have recovered the answer? What a vaccine does in stimulate your body to produce antibodies against the virus. Serum from a patient does the exact same thing. What am I missing?

By the summer, the report calculates, the number of people who become sick will eventually reduce to a trickle.

On this path, though, the real horror show will begin in the fall and crush us next winter, when COVID-19 comes back with a vengeance.

This is what happened with the flu in 1918. The spring was bad. Over the summer, the numbers of sick dwindled and created a false sense of security. Then, all hell broke loose. In late 1918, tens of millions of people died. If a similar pattern holds for COVID-19, then while things are bad now, it may be nothing compared to what we face at the end of the year.

We probably won't have a vaccine for covid-19 by next fall but we will know enough how to deal with another epidemic if it does in fact happen. - Tom

im a senior.. a lot has happened in my lifetime.. but this is so odd,.. we could not have written a novel on what we are witnessing.
... the whole world is shutting down.. what are the chances that it could control jobs, eating, going out, stores closed, every thing we knew is closed..
who could have imagined..
..wwii didnt do that.. yes, men died .. germans gunned our soldiers down as they got off boats trying to get ashore..
.. the world went on..
this is unreal today..
if they had hit our power grid.. but no.. a virus..
and we are holed up watching our economy go south..
prayers for the sick..

Only reason it’s disrupting my way of life is because the world got stupid and turned itself off.

The report projects that (2.2 million people) could die in the United States.

Current number is 224, so there's a good ways to go to get to 2,200,000.

In a nutshell, near universal testing, isolation of the most at risk, put whatever resources are necessary to find a vaccine and/or antibodies.

We know what to do, let’s get her done.

Actually, I think if the country had stockpiled N95 masks (which do work quite well to prevent spreading via air) as they do oil, and even mailed one to every one who it has an address for and required everyone outside to wear them, and sold extras to suppliers, much of life could have continued, and with far less spread, and at far less cost then this has and will cost.
