The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[yjnkdawg]

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.
