Fun History Fact:

People often thing of the plague as something that happened once in the early middle ages in Europe and went away. Not true! There were recurring waves of plague for centuries, even into the modern era. In Amsterdam for instance, there were something like 37 outbreaks of plague within 60 years during the 17th century. The worst was in 1664-1665, when it is estimated that 10% of the population of the city died. This spread to England the following year from the Netherlands and became what would be known as the Great Plague of London.

For perspective, the current death rate of those infected with COVID-19 in Italy is currently around 9%.

he’s running against Joe Biden. I think the only way trump would have an even better shot is if Biden makes Hillary his VP.

for the comedy of it all i think Biden should make Hillary his VP.

It could literally be Osama Bin Laden running and he could win.

Donald Trump is the least popular president in the history of the nation. He is despised by the vast majority of the United States population.

Biden is not hated by nearly anyone but the core leftists of the Dem party, that's why he has such a larger margin of wins over Bernie than Hillary ever could.

Hillary lost against Trump because she was hated by nearly every single American just as much as Trump was.

People seem to forget that the views and positions of this echo-chamber of a forum represents a lot less of the us population than they think it does. Probably much less than 20%.

Zithromax is pretty well tolerated unless the patient has underlying heart issues, and you aren’t supposed to combine it with QT prolonging agents of which hydroxychloroquine is a major one

basically this might be contraindicated in heart disease patients (so the elderly)

quote:

In a scientific statement from the American Heart Association, hydroxychloroquine has been determined to be an agent that may either cause direct myocardial toxicity or exacerbate underlying myocardial dysfunction (magnitude: major) (AHA [Page 2016]).

not sure if that is more for long term use and if a short 6 day course is okay. It’s not used a lot inpatient

Yeah man we're going to have time with that during a literal Pandemic + great depression + massive bankruptcy + quarantine shutdown situation.

That strategy works well when the news has nothing else to talk about but not during a loving crisis.

The fascists in power have really done more to destroy leftist moral than any other group in the history of this nation in one election alone. That's why you never loving win anything. You're extremely weak mentally.

would it work to get them off the ventilators, though? or will they likely be stuck there because of the damage already caused before the virus was cleared? would it be worthwhile to hit anyone in the danger zone of ending up on a ventilator with a course?
