So let's expound on this

Hydroxychloroquine is a drug used to treat Lupus, a disorder causing Lymphocytopenia (a lack of lymphocytes, the things which help the body fight off disease)

Hydroxychloroquine treats the ***symptoms*** of Lupus, including:

https://www.hopkinslupus.org/lupus-treatment/lupus-medications/antimalarial-drugs/

quote:

Specifically, anti-malarial medications have shown to improve muscle and joint pain, skin rashes, pericarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart), pleuritis (inflammation of the lining of the lung), and other lupus symptoms such as fatigue and fever.

But Hydroxychloroquine ***does not*** cause lymphocytes to increase...which means other than slightly reducing inflammation, anyone who was going to die from COVID is going to die anyway since it takes advantage of the reduced presence of lymphocytes

A Wisconsin woman who has taken hydroxychloroquine for 19 years to treat lupus says the anti-malarial drug will not protect someone from COVID-19. Kim, who doesn’t want to show her face or give her full name, says after the pandemic began, she only left her Oconomowoc home to go the grocery store.

But by mid-April, she started feeling coronavirus symptoms. “Weak all over. Coughing, fever. The fever was very high,” she told WISN. “It just went downhill from there. I couldn’t breathe no more.”

Kim said even though she took precautions when leaving the house for the grocery store, she thought she would be safe because of what President Donald Trump has said about the drug.

Easily it is casinos. You literally have to touch and handle something that 100,000 people have touched. You think these places are gonna wipe down 2,000 machines regularly or wash betting chips? gently caress we had one employee get the flu then suddenly 15 of us had it.

Long story short we are hosed.

Of course, most casino-goers plop in front of their favorite machine and don't move for 26 hours

Yes, that's clearly it, makes it much easier to see what the effect of a given policy is. Like half the time people in this thread complain about data visualization they're complaining about something entirely innocent and normal. It's not how they present the data that's wrong, it's the actual data.

Basically this. There's no good solution as schools really should remain closed until there's a vaccine or treatment or everyone's already infected. Closing schools is probably the single most effective way to slow the spread of the virus (actual epidemiologists should correct me). Maybe casinos are worse, but to my knowledge gamblers aren't sticking the chips in their mouth(?).

Unless you're in NZ the only reason for opening schools is to allow parents to work and pay the bills, allowing economic constraints to overrule public health considerations. There's going to be a lot of parents trying to justify sending kids back to school/daycare over the next few months and rationalizing it's safe, but it comes down to the current situation being economically unsustainable.

Not even economically, my neighbor said she was considering sending her kid back to daycare even though she only worked nights (symphony) and wasn't gonna work til fall but would just like the mental break

quote:

The owners of a South Jersey gym that continues to reopen in violation of the governor's executive order were cited for a third time on Wednesday, officials announced.In addition to a summons for violating Gov. Phil Murphy's stay-at-home order, Atilis Gym owners Ian Smith and Frank Trumbetti were charged with making a public nuisance, according to Superintendent of the State Police Colonel Patrick Callahan.

In addition to law enforcement actions, Callahan said there are additional actions that can be taken that fall under the purview of the State Department of Health.

"This is not just a point of principle, this is a reality that we are just not there yet as a public health matter," Murphy said during a news conference Wednesday afternoon. "This is a health crisis unlike any we've ever faced and an economic crisis unlike any we've ever faced. We understand both of those points, but you don't solve the second until you've solved the first."

An image provided to Patch on Wednesday showed police arriving at the gym with what appeared to be a summons. Fox 29 reports that police are following gym goers as they leave the gym parking lot and issuing summons for violations of executive orders. Bellmawr police said information will be released later in the day.

Our post has been mandating mask use basically everywhere you aren't completely alone now for months.

They have MPs at the entrance of the PX and comissary making sure you have them on and patrolling inside to make sure you keep em.
