Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

Now show me where he added the word phosphate.  There's enough shit in this world without piling more on.  I'm not a fan of his but I'm also not going to twist what was said to suit my own agenda.

I'm not trying to twist any words. The drug's shorthand name is chloroquine, and anything you search for "chloroquine" will also include the "phosphate", which is also in the medicinal prescription. Here's the medical facts page on it. 

There's a second and distinct drug that's hydroxychloroquine. Both are used to treat malaria, and both are currently prescribed medicines.

County Judge in Texas has the power 

Governor has said it is up to counties to decide what’s best for their county 

They aren’t really “judges” but like county managers

The president said falsely last week that it was approved by the FDA. The direct quote from last Thursdays presser (which was the genesis of the idea) is:

"It's shown very encouraging -- very, very encouraging early results. And we're going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately. And that's where the FDA has been so great. They -- they've gone through the approval process; it's been approved. And they did it -- they took it down from many, many months to immediate. So we're going to be able to make that drug available by prescription or states. Normally the FDA would take a long time to approve something like that, and it's -- it was approved very, very quickly and it's now approved, by prescription."

Sounds damn like an official recommendation, straight from the president's mouth. And then two days later, some dumb shits hospitalize themselves after taking cloroquine phosphate via fish tank cleaner because they were so scared and the president said in the same presser that “It’s been around for a long time, so we know that if things don’t go as planned, it’s not going to kill anybody.” 

The woman who survived said the soundbite was on alot and that “They kept saying that it was approved for other things and, you know, Trump kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure.” 

So again, I'm not saying that dumb people doing dumb things is the fault of anyone besides those dumb people. However, if someone has the position and authority and platform to get the word out, the least they could do is use accurate and correct information that doesn't confuse the general public and give dumb people a reason to do a dumb thing. 

Don't see why that's such a controversial thing to think and say around these parts.

He also said by prescription. Not via fish cleaner. If you are trying to be specific you should acknowledge that. This really is a very specious argument. No reasonable person would believe that the chloroquine in fish tank cleaner is same as for medical purposes. Just like I know rubbing alcohol isn't the same alcohol that I would find in beer although they both say alcohol on bottle.

Lots of things to get on the president about but this is really a stretch.

Hahahahahahahaha 

This fucking guy (or girl?) is unbelievable.  It’s trending towards performance art or some Kids In The Hall or SNL skits or something. I saw this post, negged immediately and then honestly laughed out loud. So good.

And gym shorts to look sexy while doing it!

I was thinking about also picking up a football helmet and some shoulder pads, although I'll still need to find some spikes for those, when I stop by Academy to get my silkies. 

Gotta look right for the apocalypse.

I don't think we'll ever be able to look at a 2 day trend to glean anything meaningful.  But NYC reportedly going from approximately 150 ICU Covid as of Friday to 620 (yesterday morning) to 780 today (if your stat is accurate today) is a pretty concerning 5 day trend line.

the 780 came from Cuomo today I believe, which means is probably yesterday's number..  Im assuming that was all of NY not just NYC.  where are you getting the ICU numbers for NYC and/or NY?  the ICU rate is likely important to track IMO.

County judges perform as real judges just as meat judges are judges of good barbecue.

From ED doc:
“I think we are days to weeks away from being forced to ration care”
 

Is this erectile dysfunction doctor predicting a viagra shortage?

This is when the REAL panic sets in.

Lucky for me I use an online  "Canadian Pharmacy"
