The trump admin really is totally incompetent at every possible level and at every task, so it's really no surprise that they'd be unable to stop basically everyone in the federal government from contracting the roni. the potus and vp both toured ppe factories without masks on, and trump did it AFTER pence got put on blast for it.. They've replaced everyone in the government who was smarter than a 5th grader, of course they can't protect themselves

This is so ridiculous. There is no where safe 'to go' with this virus. In the imaginary world where there is a magic bubble no virus place If you aren't one of the people inside that bubble AND there is in fact no virus there; Then you aren't 'safe'. And for everyone in the US neither of those statements are true. Thank you Katie and Unknown Navy Valet.

So what magic test they using anyway that's both accurate and sensitive enough to give positive before your contagious AND can give results fast enough to use that info. to allow useful entry to the White Bubble I.E about what 2-4 hours turn around time?


Sounds like fantasy.

The Millers are at a low risk of dying but it's already spreading through the administration and many of them are not. Just going through it is going to knock them on their asses for multiple weeks. "Without a vaccine" is absolutely correct, though I doubt the first part.

Trump shoves a q-tip up your nose and won't take it out til you agree that he got 700 electoral votes.

I know this sounds kind of tinfoil but I really do think there is a really good and expensive antibody treatment that these celebrities and politicians are getting. Like we know there are promising drugs that aren't being produced at scale and that huge strides have been made (remember when we cured HepC for rich people?)

I was joking about trumm getting an antibody shot every day, but I'm pretty sure I saw an article about it being an effective treatment? there should be enough recovered ppl by now to supply the rich

DAPRA had a project called FIREBREAK which was a method to create rapid antibody treatments for novel diseases, it was mentioned a few times in the news in feb but then they stopped talking about it entirely.

yeah there is and it's called "the family of anti-IL6 treatments and friends" and it's gotta be worth more than the already insane dose price of about 15k a pop in pre-roni times

the news never talks about it and is extremely stuck on the dumbass remdesivir anti-viral that will never work on a coronavirus prob

they're all monoclonal antibodies chruned up from modified mice that express human antibodies. Basically their bone marrow gets extracted, put into culture and carefully maintained and massaged to keep cranking out that precious anti-IL6. The bone marrow cells inevitably go insane and mutate and aren't useful anymore and it's extremely tedious compared to like, making insulin. We literally will never be able to make enough for anyone but the most connected and powerful members of our society. It's basically why we're opening up rn imo
