Just heard from a friend that the local eagles club has been cooking all day in preparation for Tuesday. Their little party will probably cost a few of them their lives, the club is mostly older republican Fox watchers so that explains most of it.

These shutdowns are going to hurt a lot of people in hospitality, entertainment, and transportation.

One of my kids just got furloughed and the other 2 have had their hours cut waaaay back. I can take not working for a while, but they can't.

Also fwiw, there are now rapid screening tests for covid-19 that take as little as 5 minutes without a lab involved and that have a 90% accuracy rate. Cost is about $5/test.

Partners in Health just bought 100,000 test kits to distribute to community health workers in the countries they operate in. Note: community health workers are not medical professionals, but are trained in infectious disease testing and treatment at the lay level. They operate in the worlds poorest countries to combat regional disease.

The us has tested fewer than 50,000 people citing availability of test kits.

Does this seem odd to anyone else?

There was a congressman on fox just yesterday, yes, YESTERDAY, telling people essentially not to worry about it, no need to go the grocery store for extra supplies, go the pub, have a good time. Wow! As major cities and states are literally making it illegal for bars to be open this clown is spouting this shit on fox.

Maybe society will learn to budget in emergencies. When I bought my first house I had a bed, a TV, a speaker with a printed piece of cloth over it to put over it as a TV stand. Bought a small kitchen set, a car I bought for $100. Saved most everything I made to put toward what I owed on the house. At 26 I owned it and then thought of buying stuff for it. I always had a couple month's worth of cash at hand in case I ended up out of work.

Parents always had a couple of sacks of potatoes in the cool room, jars of vegetables, froze a lot also. I brought over a couple handfuls of green beans that I grew to a buddy I worked with. Him and his wife thought it was strange, till they cooked them up that night and they had never tasted fresh beans other than store bought. They couldn't believe how good beans could taste. When growing up we grew everything we could, but we did have some property to do it on. We were better prepared then than we are now.

Yeah, that works really well in most densely populated urban areas where the largest part of our society live and work. The days of that model is over, though I agree with the sentiment that we might do better if we didn't consume as much and were less wasteful.

All depends on what you have. Got all those suburbs with wonderful grass to cut. I talked my parents into buying sacks of potatoes from a gardener, it was the only thing we were growing on the plot of land. Otherwise it was all coming out of their back yard. Half my back yard was dug up, this house I only have a quarter of the yard soil, I have been too much in pain to do much in the way of growing after working all day. Life is better now, retired, got weed for pain, will be doing some growing for sure.

Any place that you see needs a lawn mower could be used for growing. Even raised gardens. The problem is you have to take care of it, most would rather sit on the couch and watch football. I look at life in terms of when I grew up, how much we consumed. My parents went on a once in a lifetime trip back to Europe, we think we have to fly away every summer/winter to get away. I don't consume all that much, doesn't help the economy much though. Which I just hear Trump tanked. It might be best if he just went to his resort in Florida and just shut up.

That worked better when my old man made me weed the 1/2 acre garden and dig up and store shit. Then I learned I could grow pot, sell it, and buy all the fresh vegetables I needed lol.

Safer alternative to chloroquine.

The medcram videos I posted on this thread cover hydroxychloroquine, it's better tolerated chloroquine and is better at allowing zinc inside the cells to kill the virus. These are widely available and well tested drugs used for malaria treatment and prevention and this would be a mere off label use. Hydroxychloroquine for treatment and vitamin D supplementation for prevention and support might make a big difference in mortality rates with little to no downside.

For more info on hydroxychloroquine
