petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Do you want to shut the world down next year when Corona 20 breaks out? How about in 21? Will we do this every flu season from now on, send everyone home and mail them checks? Not a bad life once you get used to it. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Don't move the goalposts now. You weren't "talking about deaths within the United States". You specifically asked me:
Then I gave you a clear answer and explained that I got that "crazy number" from the World Health Organization. Now you're trying to move the goalposts because you don't want to explain why you're totally cool with 1.35 million people dying from car wrecks and why you don't want to give up your car to save lives. Not surprised at your libbie behavior though. 🙄 |

Shrek Member since: Aug 13, 2019 Threads: 6 Posts: 1635 | +1,000 Exactly!! However we all know that libbies are the most inconsistent people around. They always make up the rules as they go along. I'll start taking libbies seriously when they give up their cars to save people's lives from car wrecks, but we all know that ain't gonna happen anytime soon since libbies are totally illogical. 🙄 |

So it is Trumps problem if he takes the advice of his advisors and also his problem if he doesn't. It might be possible to be always right in that situation but I think you might need to be Father G's God. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Ed, there are an abundance of doctors who believe still, that it helps. (Not me). There wouldn't have been all the anecdotes and reports of success, resulting in the clinical trials without them. Being hopeful that chloroquin would be helpful at the time was a very reasonable position taken by Trump. |

Now we know why they use it. "The drug did help alleviate some clinical symptoms of Covid-19, however, and the patients who took it showed a greater drop in C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation." It doesn’t clear virus, but it does reduce inflammatory cytokine production. That could make the difference to keep a patient off a ventilator, and prevent those deadly cytokine storms. Maybe that's why fewer patients are ending up on ventilators. Turns out, NY didn't need 30,000 ventilators after all. So far they've only needed 5,000.
