Meanwhile, it looks as if some doctors are hoarding the supposed cure, to the point of writing prescriptions for themselves and family members. It's so bad in some states that the government is taking action.


Why would they do that without any "evidence"?

Because it is possible, as was explained a dozen times here,  that chloroquine will pass randomized clinical trials as a useful measure against CV,  you stupid stupid pustulating posturing ass pimple.   No one here has denied that,  if it helps with lupus and RA and trypanosomes and plasmodia,  then maybe it could have therapeutic value,  you stupid posturing pustulating ass pimple.

I don't know what's wrong with their projections, but I do know what is wrong with their situation.

Quote
NYT: The peak of infection in New York could come as soon as two to three weeks, far earlier than previously anticipated, Mr. Cuomo said, which would put even bigger strain on the health care system than officials had feared.

“The apex is higher than we thought and the apex is sooner than we thought,” Mr. Cuomo said. “That is a bad combination of facts.”

The governor said the state now projects that it may need as many as 140,000 hospital beds to house virus patients, up from the 110,000 projected a few days ago. As of now, only 53,000 are available. Up to 40,000 intensive-care beds could be needed. “Those are troubling and astronomical numbers,” he said.

As of Tuesday morning, New York State had 25,665 cases, with at least 157 deaths. The state now accounts for nearly 7 percent of global cases tallied by The New York Times.

Some 13 percent of people who have tested positive were hospitalized as of Tuesday with nearly a quarter of those hospitalized in intensive care.

“That’s the problem,” Mr. Cuomo said. “As the number of cases go up, the number of people in hospital beds goes up, the number of people who need an I.C.U. bed and a ventilator goes up, and we cannot address that increasing curve.”

You know what we need in these times? Love! Valor! Compassion! From the President, from Some Men or from A Man of No Importance.

Leader

Trump also sounded an unexpectedly magnanimous note: "I also want to thank Congress, because whether or not we're happy that they haven't quite gotten there yet, they have been working long hours. I'm talking Republicans and Democrats, all of them, the House, the Senate. I want to thank Congress because they are really trying to get there, and I think they will."

This past Sunday, Fauci rejected attempts by journalists to drive a wedge between himself and the president. "The president was trying to bring hope to the people. I think there's this issue of [the media] trying to separate the two of us. There isn't fundamentally a difference there," Fauci said.

On Sunday, Fauci elaborated in a radio interview, saying media efforts to create a rift were "unfortunate

EASTER!

You are so far off the rails it is not even funny.

If Trump manages to pull back the isolation at or before Easter, it will be an unmitigated disaster, Kid. 19 days from now?

We're still getting new cases at 10k per day. We added a third to our "serious/critical" case load. The percentage of completed cases that end in death is currently 64.9%.

How can I convince you that that is a stupid, stupid idea and that it is going to take people like YOU, his constituency, to push back on it, since he cannot hear us "libtards" to save his life of yours?!

Even Bill Gates thinks starting up before beating the virus is a bad idea, Kid!

And while he may not be a brilliant epidemiologist, I trust his read on the values more than I trust Trump's.

Fear not, Mod.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/24/politics/trump-coronavirus-economy-back-to-work/index.html


Trump isn't the one who makes decisions about shuttering schools or sheltering in place. Those are calls made by governors of the states and, in some cases, local officials. Trump can say everyone needs to go back to work, but he can't make people go back to work. Governors can choose to lift their current guidance if they so desire -- but they are under absolutely no requirement to do so just because Trump says so

I do think the "2 years" comment by Trump is true - that some medical people would have us home bound for that long.

Meantime....

Hope is better than the crack you are on. Trump offers no hope, only bullshit and self-interested bumbling.
