Out of curiosity. How many people here fall

under one of the following:

 

A. Full on quarantine. Wears masks in confined public places like Home Depot or a grocery store and the such. Doesn’t go anywhere else or see anyone. 
 

B. Partial quarantine. Goes to work but wears a mask the entire day and practices SD (6 feet distance)

 

C. Gets our regularly and sees friends and family, but wears a mask and practices SD. 
 

D. Going to the restaurants and barbershops and every where else. No mask. No SD.

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci on Wednesday became the first Trump administration official to say definitively that hydroxychloroquine is not an effective treatment for the coronavirus, based on the available data.

"The scientific data is really quite evident now about the lack of efficacy," Fauci — the U.S. government's top infectious disease expert — said on CNN.

Trust President Trump lots. 

 

He's basing a lot of that on The Lancet study and it appears that study's data collection had lots of issues...It's in the HCQ thread.

 

 

In any case, more on the potential of previous bird flu/SARS and other flu related immunity that could be helpful against fighting COVID 19

Been this way for three months now. I'm over it, get rid of all this.

This is a prime example of the difference between quoting the results of a study, and actually reading and analyzing the study to judge the quality of its processes used in drawing its conclusions. Sadly, criticizing the quality of certain studies and who financed them gets you labeled anti-science and anti-business.

E.  Go out regularly, pull up my bandana just before entering a public building.

 

I am willing to conform that much, but I wouldn't go visit people with a mask and maintain 6 feet of distance. I just act normally. I don't know any older, or high risk people. If I did, I would wear a mask around them.

 

Basically, I only conform when in a closed space with the general public.

 

I think it's a suitable level  of precaution.

To error on the side of caution in case of a second wave in the fall , stockpile convalescent plasma and remdesivir . 

 

I would pay recovered patients at least $200 for convalescent plasma , it might be well worth it.

I’ve heard he prefers the SAT over the ACT. Does that help?

If you like your testing, you can keep your testing Period.

Not having a national testing plan is killing people. You disagree?
