I think ChiTownDoc mentioned this being the case sometime mid march.  My guess is there was enough insider knowledge from other countries that it could help and there was no real downside to taking it.

I guess if there were strong evidence already, there'd be some sort of push to make it a big deal for people ahead of showing symptoms. At least that's what I figure.

I have put the challenge to my family to emerge out of this better than we started.  Maybe not financially, but of sounder mind and body and spirit.  So far it is not going great, but I am seeing improvement.

My oldest son is a  jazz musician in New Orleans and he has really been hit hard.  He just bought a house last year and then was feeling so good about himself and the fact that he was able to get a tenant for the other side of his old shotgun home (that actually pays for his whole mortgage and escrow) that he lived it up and got into  some what I would call mild credit card debt.  He was fortunate in that while he was saving for his down payment for his house, he made some extra cash doing the Uber thing.  Right now he is doing Uber Eats and he is keeping afloat.  Fortunately his tenants are a husband/wife that work at Tulane and they have kept paying the rent.

I put my challenge to him, and he does not seems too phased. Of course, this is assuming no medical implications from the virus, and some sort of phase back to normal life within a reasonable period of time, of which I have seen no indication of happening.

You guys supposedly have doctors and politicians and all that in your orbit. Why are you asking here? Jesus Christ. 

I didn’t ask a fucking question period you mouth-breathing fucktard. And the only question that was asked period was “does anyone have any updated info on this  drug?” So to you that’s a stupid question is it?

It's not new information, and I'm sure you know it already, but to re-iterate most of the articles and anecdotes I've seen that tout the success of hydrochloronique have to specifically have it paired with Zinc, which you isn't a problem for the business. That being said, I'm amazed at how often I read that many people testing this aren't combining it with zinc. It's baffling to me. But yes, everything else seems to support you have to take it early one, but once you're in a hospital or having severe breathing problems it isn't going to do much at all. For whatever that is worth moving forward. 

This is what I don’t understand. Several studies paired Zinc and showed good results but most aren’t using zinc.

I think it’s going to get pushed back a couple of weeks at least and wouldn’t be surprised to see it last until after Memorial Day. Whenever it does get started again, I think there will still be some things that don’t return to normal. I don’t think there will be big sporting events for a while as far as full houses for the stadiums. I think business travel will be discouraged to only essential (whatever that means), and I think that schools won’t be back until next year (August). Nothing really approaches normal until there is a vaccine or test/treatment similar to a strep test/treatment that a GP can diagnose and prescribe.

Back in my late 20s there was a fairly attractive french woman who was all over me despite many other guys pursuing her more than me in my "general social circle". We had sex, and after she made it perfectly clear she wanted to get married so she could stay and nationalise as a US citizen.

I told her I wasn't getting married any time soon to her or anyone.

We kept having sex and she ended up marrying a guy in my general social circle.

I was cool with it and so was she.

It worked out well for both of us. We both smoked and neither were fat.

You and CTJ have to be the same person. There's no way that any business can have two partners that are so equally high strung, thin skinned, and insecure as the two of you. I guess you guys weren't getting enough attention trying to big time the COVID business thread by asking inane questions that any of your dozens of powerful advisors, attorneys and bankers would have answers to, so you needed to come to the main thread and ask inane questions that any of your dozens of powerful medical advisors would have answers to.

You are correct, I was not disagreeing that doctors are taking the drug. Merely wanted to emphasize that folks taking HCQ for CV19 are doing so speculatively with an educated, but as of yet untested guess

Can someone explain in a non-CR way how SK had the ability to do widespread drive-up testing nearly immediately but we're still in the "development" stage of tests that don't take many days (or even weeks)?  Did they use the Chinese test that supposedly does so many false negatives?  If so, seems to work well enough.  And how were they able to give and process so many tests so quickly?  I get the idea that they were "weeks ahead," but those weeks have gone by and we're still not testing they way they were several weeks ago.  We've done a lot of tests in specific geographic "hot spot" areas, but are still around 0.3% in big pop states like Texas.  And we have these enormous delays and backlogs on reading the tests.

It's quite self-congratulatory.  The big thing Austin has offered, at least up until recently, is the "outlaw" aspect, whether it's country, punk, or blues.  I think the internet has destroyed most of that.  There are no "outlaw" corners of the world any more, and Austin has lost its advantage.  Now it's mostly chock full of living room pros with a few true pros mixed in.  (Before anyone gets on me for being hypercritical, there is no fucking way I could survive in Austin, much less New Orleans, as a musician.  I'm simply observing.)

If you ever go back, grab a meal at Mosca's ten miles outside of town in Avondale, on the West Bank of the Mississippi.  It doesn't look like much, but has fantastic Italian seafood plus great traditional red sauce dishes.  Cash only.  And was apparently the former headquarters of Carl Marcello and the New Orleans mob.

These 2 images from https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/ worry me some. The conventional wisdom was that rates would drop when we increased testing and we're seeing the opposite.

Or obesity. None of that here in murica though

To be clear, while these issues might create comorbidities, I haven't encountered any source, at least officials at city and state levels in the US, accounting for them as comorbidities or underlying conditions. It wasn't clear what was being defined early, but if you look at the dashboards for places like Nevada, Mass, NYC, etc., they're explaining what they view as an underlying condition. If you've got sources to point to where some place is including smoking, fatty, drugs, or booze as an underlying condition, please link it because that would be helpful to see and incorporate.
