Well, I'm no anesthesiologist, but I'm willing to try if you can provide a link.

Gotta agree with this. It's like a huge, impromptu, unwanted experiment which will tell us a lot either way.

Oh, you have evidence now? Sweet! I'm glad to hear we have such an effective treatment to help get us out of this hell. I can't wait to read the paper!

Because it works or because it's safe?

Make all the excuses you want. I've never seen this country in so much turmoil in my life.

Am I wrong to say that things aren't going so great right now? Is it just me?

Check your account. I've got lots of follically-challenged friends in the support group. Let's talk.

I doesn't even matter if it works if you market the schitt out of it!

Does the name "HairGenie" make you think more "Flobee" or "Hair Dreams Fulfilled"?

I'd go with Progaine or Ropecia, personally, but Chef's is nice because it's inclusive of bro culture.

I think you need a better name. It sounds like a fitness supplement.

I'll bet at least 10% of the regular posters here have questions about this. Maybe that's underselling it.

So you geniuses are PCP shopping based on pharmaceutical politics? Savvy.

Promising, but it hasn't been peer reviewed yet and is only based on the safety record of the drug, not efficacy. They state they don't expect results from clinical trials until September. I conclude that HCQ+AZ and HCQ+doxycycline, preferably with zinc (47) can be this outpatient treatment, at least until we find or add something better, whether that could be remdesivir or something else. It is our obligation not to stand by, just “carefully watching,” as the old and infirm and inner city of us are killed by this disease and our economy is destroyed by it and we have nothing to offer except high-mortality hospital treatment. We have a solution, imperfect, to attempt to deal with the disease. We have to let physicians employing good clinical judgement use it and informed patients choose it. There is a small chance that it may not work. But the urgency demands that we at least start to take that risk and evaluate what happens, and if our situation does not improve we can stop it, but we will know that we did everything that we could instead of sitting by and letting hundreds of thousands die because we did not have the courage to act according to our rational calculations.

Possibly. This would have a big impact on how we use the web and our ability to innovate, however. Careful what you wish for.

When the looting starts, the shooting starts? Now there's a presidentially responsible response...

It's amazing how quickly conservatives turn from free market to regulation when it suits their interests.

I feel like fact checking is a good idea in principle.

Does anyone actually think he has a leg to stand on here?

Well, redstate.com has had their say. How about some equal time for realclearpolitics? Sweet fancy Moses! So Trump himself gets his dick slapped by Twitter and his answer, of course, is to use all of his power to protect his pulpit of lies. You literally can't make this stuff up. I've got my popcorn ready!

It's not interesting. Like at all. That's no offense to DR even. I think I care more about some random dude's fantasy football team than I do about the argument as to why Russia wanted Hillary to win. I'm still not convinced that Trump himself even wanted to win in the first place. It just doesn't matter.

I'd say it's necessary and inevitable and it has little to do with Twitter specifically.

And just like that, a slightly different iteration of the technology pops up to circumvent your control. Or the company moves somewhere outside of your control. Or an entirely different thing you never could have dreamed of pops up to replace it. I don't know. It's unfolding before our eyes.

You could even have a ratings system on the fact checks like reddit uses. I don't know. The thing is, this schitt keeps changing faster than laws can be written to control it. You get that part, right?

I think it's fine if you want to hold them accountable for the fact checks. I wouldn't want to see those be lies as well.
