it would be inefficient to scale up testing capacity because eventually everyone will have the disease or we'll cure it and then what will we do with all that testing capacity????

we can't have availability and speed of tests improve because then the prices would have to fall

i was trying to break out of depression and build real life connections and stuff before all this happened and knocked me right back down, now i'm trying to do a bill mitchell-style galaxy brain to convince myself that building those connections wasn't actually going to improve anything and embrace replacing them with video games again

One of the biggest failures of government in all this has been a lack of committing to buying a poo poo load of supplies such that companies can know if they retool or invest in equipment they'll have market for it. Like we should be signing contracts to buy thousands of ventilators and tens of millions of masks and if we don't end up using them all who gives a poo poo.

All the dutch breweries have taken back the kegs they delivered to restaurants which are now empty and are distilling into hand sanitizer, which begs the question, where are they finding they industrial size stills? And what sort of hard liquor production lines are suffering because of it? Is this actually a secret command economy at play?

Boris Johnson is going to die from corona and it IS funny. It is not funny because he acted like an idiot and intentionally exposed himself to the virus as a political stunt. It is funny because his strategy for Britain was for lots of people to die so his wealthy masters wouldn't lose money. This was an acceptable solution to Johnson because he thought he wouldn't be one of the sacrifices. That is the exact moral and philosophical reason that Boris Johnson deserves to die and it is morally correct to be amused by the prospec

Lots of suddenly authoritative experts itt concerning the side effect profile, likelihood, and exhaustive mechanisms of action of plaquenil / hydroxychloroquine

You goony goons it doesn't give people heart attacks on the reg, if it did they'd give people an ekg before administering it which they don't.

It's got a favorable side effect profile and is relatively benign. Just because some goons want it to be chud poison does not make it so.

It's more than just a malaria drug, it has immunomodulatory actions which might actually have a plausible role in moderating neutrophils and prevent people's lungs from turning to jelly in the cytokine storm stage of the disease

It can alter the electrical potential of some cell membranes

Its action isn't exclusively mediated by zinc or whatever other bullshit I've read you "experts" state authoritatively. It's got tons of mechanisms of action many of which we don't yet understand.

You armchair medical experts are as bad as Trump
