Link to an interesting article about a couple of drugs that are being tested with some success. There's an interesting YouTube on it as well.
On a personal note, I use Zicam when I'm coming down with something (the lozenges, not the pills). The Zinc keeps influenza from absorbing into your throat and respiratory tract as successfully. This is being offered up by some people as a prophylactic to covid-19. I'm going to try it. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archiv..._KXCUCLLhDlgHE |

Maybe it's placebo. I don't know. Maybe my immune system is just stronger than normal and zinc has nothing to do with it. But that is my experience. |

Even if most are unharmed with how big the population of USA is if it continues to spread it will overwhelm our healthcare system. Maybe you don't think that's a big deal in response I really don't know what to say. |

Probably could have worded this better. My real question is why is China, outside of Hubei, doing so well? 1.35 billion people, right next to the outbreak source, and they have fewer deaths than France.

You don't advocate policy positions from personal loss or hardship. You have to maintain your cool, understand all consequences and work from there. And 'our healthcare system' is not national. It's local. So long as the spread continues to behave here as it's behaved everywhere, it won't be a national immediate outbreak. It will continue to be a series of localized outbreaks that will need to be dealt with on a localized basis. SF having its hand full right now does NOTHING to impact capacity in Columbia, MO. And when it gets here, it's not going to be hospital beds in SF that determine the outcomes in Columbia. So effectuating an immediate national lockdown and putting the clamps on thousands of communities that have not been in any way impacted by it right now will immediately start the '**** this' clock and you'll be burning time, good will and buy-in for no reason in those communities. Then if/when it DOES get there, you have a populace of frayed, exhausted, fiscally and emotionally drained people who are simply done. They'll you'll still have your hospital collapse followed by a local populace that no longer has the buy-in or wherewithal to be as responsible as they'd have otherwise been. This has to continue to be dealt with on a localized basis. These responses have to continue to be tailored. Surgery with a shotgun is the LAST thing we need. |
