| that Baby guy:
I'm in Florida. Not near where most exposure has been. It should be interesting to watch. The tough thing to bear in mind is that cases tested for today are likely cases where infection occurred about a week or two ago. In this time, it's gotten considerably warmer and nearly everything is closed. I know it became almost meme-level news, but the beaches that were open were only open initially because those in power didn't think enforcement would be possible. I'm hoping we see a considerable drop in growth/spread rate of infections down here, but we'll see. |

They also named Remdesivir (that drug invented to fight Ebola), Immune Sera, Convalescent Serum, Monoclonal antibodies, and others. The press conferences are supposed to be status reports and discussing them is relevant. --- Quote from: BlackNMild2k1 on March 26, 2020, 03:07:01 AM ---that are at an early testing phase live on National TV and incorrectly states that it's been approved by the FDA as a "cure" then he does have blame in this. --- End quote --- Where in the transcripts does he say that? I posted each day's conferences and nowhere does he proclaim it a "cure". The closest thing is on the 19th where he said it was approved (for the trails in NY that started on 24th/25th) which didn't get final approval until a few days later. --- Quote from: BlackNMild2k1 on March 26, 2020, 03:07:01 AM ---When those same statements are parroted on Faux News as "truth" and "cure" then the blame does fall on the man some want to call a "leader" to have mislead them into thinking his statements were in any way true. --- End quote --- The only citation I can find for the Fox news repeating "it's a cure" is this: --- Quote ---https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-fox-news-coronavirus-treatment-advice-972042/ But Fox News is already all in. On her show Monday night, Laura Ingraham brought on a man who says his symptoms dissipated after taking the drug. She later spoke to Dr. Meredith Clement, an LSU infectious-disease expert who has incorporated [hydroxychloroquine] in the “algorithm” by which they treat patients, but noted that it was “too soon to tell” whether it’s effective. “We don’t know and we need further data,” Clement said. “We need to collect the clinical data … to see if we’re going to see much of a benefit.” --- End quote --- The article is set up to frame it like Fox news is saying "it's a cure" but if you look at the actual words quoted they aren't. They're just messaging it as promising. --- Quote from: BlackNMild2k1 on March 26, 2020, 03:07:01 AM ---He's told so many lies up to this point, I'm not sure why anyone listens to anything he says... but that's just me. --- End quote --- Honestly, I can say the same exactly thing about all media. They've told so many lies and half truths up to this point, I don't trust anything they say and instead go immediately to the source material. Over half of the time it's false or very distorted. Be it about the president, Sanders, Tulsi, Obama, the Pope, Syria, China, Corona Beer, etc... They're no better than tabloids at this point and lie about everyone on all sides. '00 meme of Faux news just became the new normal for all news outlets since around 2013. Not defending fox but annoyed at all of them. I wouldn't care about the media being contrarians on political stuff since that's always happened on some level for centuries but this time they're literally going to cause people to die. Michigan and Nevada governors have banned hydroxychloroquine because these dumb hit pieces claiming them as "unscientific" and "false hope cures" to make him look bad. And when they do approve hydroxychloroquine, there's definitely going to be stories of people refusing to take it because they heard it doesn't work and will kill them just like anti-vax'ers. --- Quote from: nickmitch on March 27, 2020, 12:18:27 PM ---The US President says a lot of things that don't end up happening. Especially with regards to the corona virus outbreak, I think we should just dismiss whatever he says. Listen to the experts. --- End quote --- Maybe his tweets but the press conferences that are being attacked as disinformation are made up of the experts (and CEO's for whatever reason) reporting on the Coronavirus with introductions/remarks from the VP or President. What's said in them aren't much different than the daily NJ, NY, and PA governor press conferences I've also been watching. (Yeah, I'm consuming way too much content about this. I'll stop eventually.) There's no reason not to listen to them. If he says something wrong, he'll be corrected by Dr. Tony Fauci a few minutes later. |

They never got criminally punished for the ignition switch scandal and their downright evil actions around it so being bossed around by the defense production act is good karmic payback. |
