In the infection and allergy medical field - he IS the almighty. Dr. Fauci is the nation's leading doctor on this topic and his long time experience and position at NIAID and the White House Task Force will prohibit him ENDORSING something that has no solidly achieved data to support it. He will need solid data before he can prescribe it wholesale, so he will remain to be a stick in the mud on this one, of course, but doctors will still pursue this treatment, especially if it has a history that nets good results. Anyone else getting tired of the NY Governor losing his mind over ventilators/respirators? As of this morning, over 4,000 (additional to NY's current inventory) were delivered and yet he is asking for 26,000. NYC has less than 16,000 confirmed cases to date......and less than 1/4 of those cases even need hospitalization....... Cuomo has been pretty good through this pandemic, but he's losing my respect over this one......

My Grandpa used to always say...."wish I made enough money to be a Republican".

"He's as useless as tits on a Boar"

I'm having the time of my life right now 🙂

One of my Papaw's many witticisms was "I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy."

Spot on. I have long commutes to my office and don’t have the time, but frankly I prefer all of the advantages public schools provide.

And he certainly did his part to prove it. The 80's sucked.

Not really sure how you came up advocating individuals kill themselves. I know that the typical MO is to attempt to puts words in the mouths of posters, but even if so, this one's a

Bullshit and you know it. Read your history. Who wrote the first viable BASIC for the Altair and the 6502 microprocessor? Mr. Gates and Mr. Allen did. And Mr. Gates was smart enough to make a savvy acquisition, 86-DOS – owned by Seattle Computer Products and written by Tim Paterson, and rename is MS-DOS. Sorry that you deride any individual who shows real intelligence and business acumen. But they again you are a champion of the "race to the bottom" paradigm.

No, Chief. It says a lot about yours that don't choose to recognize technical talent and business intelligence. You want a real tech charlatan and shyster? Try the late Steve Jobs. His success was built on the back of primarily one brilliant and graceful individual: Steve Wozniak.

What about the late Mr. Allen?

You obviously don't know many libertarians. How is living like a sheep in your mom's basement going? She still bringing you meals? And exactly how does the "being tested" automatically equate to "testing positive". Does the article state Mr. Paul visiting the gym after testing positive for COVID-19? Your SJW and TDS is showing again.

Police State.

Please elaborate.

Back to Work by March 30: A Coronavirus Imperative: https://spectator.org/back-to-work-by-march-30-a-coronavirus-imperative/

https://fox59.com/news/coronavirus/eli-lilly-to-offer-drive-thru-covid-19-testing-for-health-care-workers-in-indianapolis/ But apparently you have to be a health care worker. How can SJW's stand this inequality?

So you work at a Dry Cleaners or an Office Max? : https://www.in.gov/coronavirus/2496.htm An interesting list. Our optometrist office called last night at like 9pm wondering if we could reschedule two appointments that we had for next week to Tuesday afternoon, 3/24/2020, in an attempt to get around Mr. Holcomb's ban.

When this is all over, don’t expect politicians to lose their taste for ordering us around.: https://reason.com/2020/03/23/with-covid-19-that-which-is-not-forbidden-is-mandatory-and-subsidized/ Forget that government officials' idea of "critical" may not match yours (Reason's Eric Boehm points out that politicians may disdain laundromats, but they're a necessity for many people). Forget, too, that you can't shut down parts of an economy without affecting the whole thing. The politicians don't care, and they'll enforce their whims: violation of the California order is a misdemeanor, "punishable by a fine of not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment for not to exceed six months or by both." States including Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, threaten similar penalties for not obeying government orders. Of course, smothering whole sectors of the economy, and maybe the whole thing, might end up being a bit pricey. We should get ready for "a tsunami of economic destruction that will cause tens of millions to lose their jobs as commerce and production simply cease," the Wall Street Journal editorial board warns. Not to worry, the government has a plan. Another plan, that is. After ordering people to close businesses and having killed jobs, while threatening to nationalize procurement for the healthcare industry, government leaders want to make it all better by moving money around to offset the losses. With a price tag closing in on $2 trillion, Democrats and Republicans are competing to stuff favored corporate bailouts, interest-group payoffs, unemployment benefits for those forcibly sidelined, and more, more, more! The ultimate result will be to transform a more-or-less free society, driven by individual preferences and private decision-making, into one in which planning is centralized and costs are shifted according to governmental priorities. You can assume that some calculation will be built into that spending, too – rewards for friends and punishment for enemies, as is always the case in politics. That is, we're becoming a country in which much of what we do is both mandatory and subsidized. When this is all over, don't expect politicians to lose their taste for ordering us around. That's a hard habit to break. You can be certain, though, that they'll want us to thank them profusely for the checks they cut to offset some of what they inflict on us. Exactly. America is quickly becoming a police state, and a lot of it won't end once this COVID-19 scare is over. After all what will happen when "COVID-20" comes around, we need to keep all of these restrictions, rules, and regulations in place so we will be better prepared. Right?

Nanny government is coming to bail everyone out. Of course the ultimate cost of these possibly multiple bailouts will be born by our children and grandchildren, so nobody really cares. The federal government is nearing the limit of what it can borrow. How many $2 trillion dollars checks do we think Uncle Sam can cash?

*sigh* Social Justice Warrior. How can this inequality of testing stand, gonzo?

Why not? Why can't I, now a member of the non-essential class of human beings, get in line at Eli Lilly for a COVID-19 test?

Are you lucky enough to be labeled an "essential business" by Mr. Holcomb, IO?

EVERYBODY should be tested, whether they currently exhibit symptoms or not. Right?

If a person is found to have it they can be forcibly quarantined so as not to spread it even further.

The world isn't fair, so therefore not all can be "successful". Get used to it.

Latest Coronavirus Relief Draft Bill Includes Suspending Car Payments: https://www.autonews.com/automakers-suppliers/pelosis-25-trillion-stimulus-bill-delays-mortgage-car-payments Good grief.

And like I said the world isn't fair, it never will be. Therefore not everyone will reach the level of "success" they may personally reach to attain.

So I guess FDA approval is the pinnacle of safety and efficacy when it comes to medications. “FDA approval is based on evidence — provided by the company that makes the medical product — that the benefits of the product outweigh the risks for most patients for a specific use. It doesn’t necessarily mean the product is safe.” - Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Center for Health Research

Doctors hoard unproven COVID-19 meds by writing prescriptions for selves, families: https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/03/doctors-hoard-unproven-covid-19-meds-by-writing-prescriptions-for-selves-families/ The power of the U.S. Presidency, ladies and gentlemen.

That is the obvious and logical implication from the blanket and utopian statement "Life is better when we’re all successful." Whoever accused me of not wishing people success? I'm not. Has the business you currently own contracted due to the coronavirus scare?

Up over 6% on the NYSE as of the writing of this post. I would buy if I had any $ to invest at the moment. Wouldn't you?

Mission successful. Welcome to the club.

You don't know what "anecdotal" means, do you? Here's what the CDC says ... https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/therapeutic-options.html Due to higher in-vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2 and its wider availability in the United States compared with chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine has been administered to hospitalized COVID-19 patients on an uncontrolled basis in multiple countries, including in the United States. One small study reported that hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with azithromycin reduced detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory tract specimens compared with a non-randomized control group but did not assess clinical benefit [7]. Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are associated with QT prolongation and caution is advised when considering these drugs in patients with chronic medical conditions (e.g. renal failure, hepatic disease) or who are receiving medications that might interact to cause arrythmias. Hydroxychloroquine is currently under investigation in clinical trials for pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and treatment of patients with mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19. In the United States, several clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine for prophylaxis or treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection are planned or will be enrolling soon. More information on trials can be found at: https://clinicaltrials.gov/external icon. There are no currently available data from Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) to inform clinical guidance on the use, dosing, or duration of hydroxychloroquine for prophylaxis or treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although optimal dosing and duration of hydroxychloroquine for treatment of COVID-19 are unknown, some U.S. clinicians have reported anecdotally different hydroxychloroquine dosing such as: 400mg BID on day one, then daily for 5 days; 400 mg BID on day one, then 200mg BID for 4 days; 600 mg BID on day one, then 400mg daily on days 2-5. Heard it's best if you take it with "kool-aid."

President Trump job approval rating increases among Democrats by 6 points and Independents by 8 points. Handling of COVID-19 is 60% approval rating. Incredible considering 92% negative coverage from mainstream media fake news outlets. https://news.gallup.com/poll/298313/president-trump-job-approval-rating.aspx

Libtards know words.....

A libtard is typically a perfectly intelligent individual who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Libtards refuse to apply common sense and react to most situations with their emotional hatred of Trump. It is interesting to observe their reaction to a FDA approved drug while the virus is most prevalent in democratic strongholds.

Nice. Now certain GID members are advocating individuals kill themselves. Is this what COVID-10 has driven the American populace to?
