ohhhh that’s gonna get some people’s panties in a twist.

 

On a related note I'm shopping my new screenplay. It's a horror movie called "Friday March 13th"

I disagree. WNY is not NYC. This would be totally unnecessary and unfair, but they might do it anyway. Lock down NYC and Conn possibly but this is a vastly different part of NY state and should be treated as such. 

Thank you.

What kind of virus is treated by malaria meds and antibiotics?   

 

 

Several, apparently, including HIV and SARS.  The two predominant working hypothesese for the anti-viral properties of Chloroquine seems to involve raising the endosomal pH to inhibit viral /cell interaction, and in addition functioning as a Zinc ionophore.  Here's a few references:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5461643/

 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4182877/

 

I would expect the antibiotic benefits to be more relevant in controlling secondary bacterial infections that opportunistically attack the epithelial cells once the virus has weakened the immune system.  But I'm not a doctor, so I'll defer to them on that.

Glad I went on record.

Trump mulls coronavirus quarantine on New York, New Jersey, Connecticut

By Adam Shaw | Fox News

 

President Trump on Saturday said he is considering imposing an enforceable quarantine on New York, parts of New Jersey and parts of Connecticut as part of the efforts to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“Some people would like to see New York quarantined because it’s a hotspot — New York, New Jersey, maybe one or two other places, certain parts of Connecticut quarantined,” he said outside the White House.

 

“I’m thinking about that right now. We might not have to do it but there’s a possibility that sometime today we’ll do a quarantine — short term, two weeks for New York, probably New Jersey and certain parts of Connecticut.”

The Chinese quarantined Wuhan and it helped.  If quarantining this area (or any area) helps prevent the spread of the disease it should be done.  

 

At this point it's probably too late (all it takes is 1 individual outside the quarantined area for the quarantine to be ineffective, and we already know that to be the case even with the piss poor testing being done) but again if the experts say it's a good idea then that's fine.  My main concern is that people/governments outside of the quarantined areas might loosen their social distancing discipline and measures.  

 

Whether he has the legal authority to do so I don't know, but in times of crisis the president should have this kind of authority.

I'd be curious to see if that changes over the coming weeks or not. I'm (clearly) no doctor, so I have no way to really double check any clinical information I come across other than by relying on medical experts. It seems odd that France and India both would be hoping on the train if it wasn't showing results -- but I guess we'll see over time. :beer:

I propose a quarantine of reporters and media pundits to the safety of Ryker’s Island for the next 24 months.

Do they know that the state above them is now growing at a faster rate than NY?

Should they worry more about a 30% growth on a base of 4,000, or a 20% growth on a base of 50,000? Or, are you assuming the faster growth will continue?
