Good. That means that this will be a one time deal.**

I went to a small engine repair shop in Smith county today. Had to get mower blades. As best I could tell, there were 5 employees and at least 5-7 customers. Not a single glove, face mask, or sanitizer being used that I could see. If it doesn’t kill a bunch more Mississippians, it’s due to dumb luck. Certainly not because we all did our part.
On the flip side , I have malaria pills from my time in Africa. Still have a Z pack, and a vial of ivermectin for heart worm treatment on my dogs!! Seems I have all the treatments covered!!!
Fauci kinda pissing me of a little. Why not use hydroxycloriquine with z-pac if you're very ill?? All this bullshit about double blind studies or controlled studies in this scenario is crap. Trump is spot on saying if someone develops pretty serious symptoms then use it. Not sure folks should necessarily use it in advance of that but ... I think they do use it in advance in high malaria regions of the world.
I also HAVE NEVER understood telling and emphasizing to folks to NOT wear a mask. It probably will keep you from getting it where the air isn't saturated with the virus, but it certainly wouldn't hurt either way. It's bullshit that Fauci and the Surgeon General both advised so strongly against wearing a mask.
Sometimes ... very smart people are not extremely practical.
I think they probably didn't recommend wearing a mask because people would freak out and try to buy up all the masks that the health care workers so desperately needs on the front line. I may be wrong, but everything is still a guessing game right now, and I agree on your comment about Dr Fauci. I actually listen more as to what Dr. Deborah Birx says.
This is from several days ago, but it is a pretty informative video with Dr. Jay Bhattachary being interviewed.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is a professor of medicine at Stanford University. He is a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a senior fellow at both the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and the Stanford Freeman Spogli Institute. His background is as a doctor, a medical researcher, and an economist. Some of this interview (March 27) is defending what he said in the Wall Street Journal (March 24th). He was also predicting the death rate to be lower than projected by the Washington Health experts at that time. His prediction was more in line with what they are predicting now.

I love watching the slow turn on Fauci. 99% of doctors would agree with the premise of what he has been saying for the last month, so I'm not really sure what people want him to say. How is he supposed to know exactly how this will turn out? Its a new virus and a situation the modern world has never seen before.

Onion cutting article.

Update on the Sweden vs Norway thing, Sweden had 114 deaths in the last 24 hours. Norway has 83 total deaths.
Hypertension most common pre-existing condition among LA deaths from covid19. Adding up the percentages of pre-existing conditions that are listed, you get 232.7; obviously, many have a few of the conditions.
