Agree...In these times, these types of stories are more important to focus on and hear. Thank you for sharing.

NEW DATA: A French study has demonstrated evidence that the combination of Hydroxychloroquine & Azithromycin are highly effective in treating Covid-19.

I am hopeful that this works out, but it appears that man has invested heavily in the organization that is testing those drugs. For that reason, I am going to wait until it is peer-reviewed before I start to get too excited. Certainly has my attention though.

Looks like it was taken down. Did it have any details of the study? First time I've heard of azithromycin being used. Looks like an antibiotic used for bacterial infects, not viruses. So that seems odd.

hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine, from my understanding are currently used to treat Lupus. But both are known to cause damage to the retina (Edit: From Long term use... not short term. hydroxychloroquine is less effective but less toxic. People have been saying BEFORE COVID-19, they were not the easiest prescriptions to get filled)

The silence on remdesivir doesn't seem like a good sign. I believe they were using it back in January/early feb, and there really hasn't been any update except claims of 'new trials' unfortunately.


camostat mesilate is another drug I've heard is being tried.

March 24, 2020. Here are today’s numbers. USA had over 9,000 new cases confirmed infected today- Total now passed 53,000. Only China and Italy had more- and, while China has leveled out, ours is just picking up. We become the epicenter of cases in the world day after tomorrow.

Compare the growth to just 3 days ago. This was Saturday’s numbers, at 26,000 cases. We’ve more than doubled in just 3 days.

There is a link to the paper posted somewhere else. It's only a draft and is being published to a journal that is not peer-reviewed. The study also started with 26 patients and ended with 20. They discarded the results of 6 who didn't finish because 1 died, 3 transferred to ICU, 1 got nausea and I can't remember the reason for the other. Very strange. Basically, you can bat 1.000 as long as you only count your hits! CNN ran a segment on it yesterday morning with a doctor explaining that they could have just been swabbing the nose and testing the particles there, which is not an accurate method of testing because we can shed mucus linings and things like that. I'm not a doctor so I'm probably butchering that, but there is a CNN interview from yesterday morning floating around on the internet that explains this I am sure. And the original study is out there too. Personally I think its just some people out there trying to gain financially because they are invested in this drug somehow. It's pretty sketchy.

These are the sites I check every day:

Number of tests being administered per day - https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...ing-in-us.html

Number of cases and deaths per day, broken down by state (what James also posted below) - https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

CNBC's COVID-19 live update blog - https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/25/coro...t-updates.html


It seems like it takes about a week before the CDC site has an accurate number of tests administered for a particular day. If we follow the curve, we may have tested something like 15,000-20,000 people yesterday, and Worldofmeters shows 11,075 new infections yesterday. Different tests and people of course, but I think that shows that we are still largely only testing people who are suspected of almost certainly having the virus. If that is not the case, then it shows that more than 50% of the population is infected. I do not think that is the case, but wouldn't be surprised if at least half the nation ends up being infected at some point. Maybe not simultaneously, but I do think the virus is that transmissible. Luckily it's not too deadly right now, but it will overwhelm our medical industry to the point where the mortality rate increases because infected people are not getting enough medical attention or ideal treatment. Ventilators seem to be the big issue right now. New York can't keep up. I hope the curve flattens soon.

God help us all!

I just read the article over on Politico- that outlines how the team that read the Obama Admin playbook for what to do in a pandemic, not only is the team that Bolton fired when he came aboard- but- nobody else on the NSC staff that Bolton kept or brought in, or any of the staff since that time, nobody followed the playbook AT ALL.


https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...council-149285

In January, when the NSC first learned of the virus in China, nobody pulled out the playbook to alert the folks that needed to be alerted, and nobody began the intensive decision making and risk assessing outlined.

Nobody alerted any part of the government to inventory and order additional emergency pandemic supplies. When it was clear on Jan 24, that the virus had jumped to the West Coast of the US- nobody made estimates that we were going to be severely short on ventilators, and nobody advised the President in that meeting on Jan. 30th to invoke the act to order private industry to start making emergency medical equipment and supplies, while we could have had an impact.

Remember that meeting? That was Top Secret/SCI, that Trump tweeted?

That was the meeting that, according to the playbook, should have been when The President directed private companies to start building ventilators, and N95 masks, and face shields, and tyvek protective clothing, and booties, and eyewear.

To this day, the federal government hasn’t directed ANY company to begin production of any of that. The President said states should order gear NOW and bid against each other on the open market.

And could have alerted states to begin their own emergency preparations. It didn’t happen by the playbooks tables and timelines. Because they didn’t follow the book.

Lord help us- it’s going to be far, far worse than our worst nightmare.

James did you just post images from a top secret meeting? wtf?

According to various news reports and statements from the President and Vice-President themselves (and asof yester, the Governor of New York), enough companies are voluntarily stepping up to manufacture these items, albeit a little behind the curve. According to these sources, no "order" is needed, but they have reserved the authority to do so.
