Pretty interesting article

Evidence over hysteria — COVID-19

So do we trust the WHO and China’s data, or not? I seriously don’t know.People who want us to think it is going to be ok say to use China’s data, but also say Chinas data is bullshit. People who want to freak out say China’s data is bullshit, but also point to China’s data. So... what is the right thing...?

This, in an email this afternoon from our leadership:

<SNIP>
For the safety of our patients and team members, we have implemented the appropriate infection control precautions to avoid the spread of the potential virus. While we await the results from the test, the patient is being cared for in a contained and isolated unit by volunteers from our infectious disease team who are specially trained in the treatment of patients with novel viruses."

Now, the probability is very, very high that it is 'just' one of the other, million less-severe airborne bugs, but they ain't playing.

From page 1 of this thread, January 24. Just 2 months ago... @Devildoc for the win.

It's all good. This too shall pass.

We just had a live address from the Prime Minister and Chief Medical Officer. As of tomorrow at 12pm pubs, clubs, casinos, cinemas, gyms and indoor sporting venues will close down indefinitely. Restaurants and cafes can only serve takeaways, no dining. This could last for up to 6 months.

They rolled out some social distancing measures last week but the thousands of idiots gathering at Bondi Beach showed that people aren’t going to follow the guidelines unless they are enforced.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Welp, was just notified via an all hands text an employee in my office has tested positive for COVID-19. They won't say who, which concerns me as to whether or not I had close contact with them.

I'm sure you won't be the only one doing a Monday morning headcount to determine who didn't come in.

 

[Devildoc]

It's bound to happen. Right now it's still novel, new, but as testing continues we will see more and more positives. I suspect it will be doing screenings in my department and probably fool out testing in another week or so.

I've had some concerns about the use of this medication, especially how damaging Quinism can be.

Interesting use of the word “poisoning“ vice overdose. Sub-Sahara Africans use that shit for everything as they believe it’s a miracle drug.

I can't believe nobody pointed out that he has a half eaten doughnut in his hand near the end. Guess he took the trade...

Oh, that was a given, think of the audience here. Why else would he post it?

In the US it is impossible to get chloroquine without a prescription.

Fair point.

Same here but it's been used to treat those hospitalized.



Thing's are on track to get ugly here soon.

That's the point though. So far the combination of hydrochloroquine and the Z-pac together have proved to be an effective combination against COVID-19. Should it be done carefully? Certainly. But these doctors out there going HAM on twitter against the president are virtue signalling for clicks. Either we treat this as a try everything ordeal or get back to normal and stop sinking the economy.
