Apparently if more healthy individuals that can quarantine in their homes get Covid 19 then we might reopen. If less healthy get it, we’re stuck. You guys didnt get to open tomorrow?

Many of these benchmarks are kind of irrelevant and it’s a bit of a one size fits all approach. I think we got our testing up ( I got tested Tuesday, results were online today : not detected. Yay ! Another test scheduled for next week. Heck I’ll take one weekly if they want. Still waiting on antibody test results. Anyway, we’re screwed for another two weeks I think.

If New Yorkers (and I’m in western NY not NYC) weren’t persona non grata in Florida I’d be visiting within the next 2 weeks. Literally going nuts here and the weather has sucked all spring.

It’s on each individual to protect their own. That’s how we’re gonna beat this thing. Practice SD and wear a mask in public at all times. Keep your hands clean.

Literally going nuts here and the weather has sucked all spring. That’s unfortunate. There’s no valid reason why Buffalo is shutdown. I have relatives that own convenient stores. They interact with the general public on a second to second basis. None of them got corona because they’re being safe and practicing the rules that are in place. 1
Hedge Posted May 15, 2020 Author Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) ----------------------------------------------------------- The full text of the EO can be found here: EO on Delegating Authority Under the DPA to the CEO of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation to Respond to the COVID-19 Outbreak So far this has been ignored by all outlets except for Sputnik: Trump Signs Executive Order to Boost Domestic Production of COVID-19 Supplies Quote "Earlier today I signed an executive order, just signed it, invoking the Defenсe Production Act to grant new authority to the US International Development Finance Corporation...under my order it will now also invest in our country, helping to bring vital factories, pharmaceutical producers and most importantly jobs back home where they belong", Trump said during remarks at the Owens and Minor, Inc. Distribution Centre in the state of Pennsylvania. In the executive order, Trump said the measure will expand and strengthen relevant supply chains within the United States that are crucial in the fight against the pandemic. The authority given in the order will expire after two years, Trump said. Edited May 15, 2020 by Hedge

shoshin Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 Bad look for our leadership to say Obama left behind no pandemic playbook, then retract that statement in the face of exactly such a playbook, then admit to knowing nothing about the playbook’s details. This is the danger of suiting up in partisan uniforms and not working together. Still, McConnell added Thursday that "as to whether or not the plan was followed and who's the critic and all the rest, I don't have any observation about that because I don't know enough about the details of that to comment on it in any detail." 1

Questions need to be answered on this. This virus is the result of "gain of function" research. In other words, they keep modifying viruses to make them more infectious and/or lethal. This work gets done at Fort Detrick and Wuhan, two labs that happened to be shut down last Fall over "security breaches. HCQ is a generic drug that is easy to manufacture, thus, it is cheap. That is problem number one. The medical system is fully incentivized to go the more expensive route with drugs still covered under patents. With trillions being created in debt right now, price is not a limiting factor at all. Big Pharma's influence strikes again.

Questions need to be answered on this. Most people recover from the virus. How do you know your friend wouldn’t have recovered anyway? I know 2 people currently on the mend from the virus (both healthcare workers) and neither of them took HCQ and they are going to be fine. If they did take it, you would attribute their success to the drug. Fake news! 1

For once, you said something intelligent. Now that you hit your quota for the month, I will put you back on ignore. What a fine morning. Peace. 3
