Just a quick update on my daughter. Saturday was a really tough day, she was a little furnace and really felt terrible. Yesterday her fever broke and she actually ate something. This morning she woke

It’s still big news but the New Rochelle case and the the subsequent flood of NY cases as well as other US hot spots pushed the story below the fold

They are tentatively hopeful that they are plateauing as they have seen a leveling off around 700 deaths a day after having significantly more than that at the peak

Have they given the drug out?  I haven't heard too much on that as of late

They have I actually saw a interview with a DR who himself had to take it. He said it is showing it does shorten the course of illness significantly and should be give to patients before they become critical.

The benchmark for leveling off is not deaths per day but new cases, new cases will slow first then icu admits and then Deaths last.

For once I'm ahead of the stockpiling curve.

Travelling pays off, I have a bottle of Proguanil pills here for anti malarial.

They just recently had the largest amount of deaths in one day at over 1000 in one day.  Same is going to start happening here in the US.  Right not the number of ventilators are meeting the number of cases.  Once the number of patients far exceed the number of available ventilators, you're going to see a huge spike in deaths.

I've been saying this virus isn't serious for the young and healthy with proper medical care but that's under the assumption that proper medical care is available.

They are not testing doctors and front line workers anymore because it's pointless.  You can waste a test on them and have it come back negative only to send them right back out afterwards.  Many front line workers work under the assumption they've must have already gotten it by now.

I read that....scary stuff.

On a related note those pills sell for $4 each here in the US via prescription only. I bought mine walking right into a pharmacy in Johannesburg, same exact maker and dosage; bottle of a hundred cost me 5 dollars US.

Our health system is F-d up.

This is the reason we will see more deaths than China. They make people stay home, which their society is more set up for of course . We don't even have stay at home orders in every state yet.  

That and they ALL wear masks. Which just make sense.

His wife beat it like nothing tho. Steroids break the body down (ex. Tiger Woods)
