Thanks! I knew I read that somewhere in the hundreds of pages of this thread

He was also talking about N95 masks which is not what is being recommended. What is being recommended is basically anything that covers the nose and mouth to hinder the ability of the virus to spray long distance or cause droplets which land on high touch surfaces. These are two completely different things as the N95 seeks to stop the virus from getting in and requires a tight seal possibly causing the issues he stated.

In fact, I read this morning that those masks with the 1 way valve are problematic in that they funnel all of the exhaust through that port without any hindrance and therefore are completely useless for protecting others. Protecting others is exactly what we are trying to accomplish here.

I mean, YouTube is a private business so they can really limit any content that they want. And they aren't journalists so even journalistic ethics don't apply to them. If they think it's to their advantage, to filter certain content that's their decision to make. Of course, you can always choose not to use their service if you don't like it. But most people just use it to watch cat videos anyway.

Cat videos, or:

Queen
David Bowie
Andrea Bocelli
Josh Groban & Celine Dion’s “Prayer”

I haven't seen a really good article on this trial yet. I'm cautiously optimistic, but with no comparison to a control group I will hold off on celebrating.

Dr Fauci called it, "Quite Good News". When he says that, I'm thinking it's legit cause for optimism.

Florida might be suppressing their numbers...

Florida medical examiners were releasing coronavirus death data. The state made them stop.

When the medical examiners’ list was available, it showed more deaths than the state’s count.

State officials have stopped releasing the list of coronavirus deaths being compiled by Florida’s medical examiners, which has at times shown a higher death toll than the state’s published count.

The list had previously been released in real time by the state Medical Examiners Commission. But earlier this month, after the Tampa Bay Times reported that the medical examiners’ death count was 10 percent higher than the figure released by the Florida Department of Health, state officials said the list needed to be reviewed and possibly redacted.

They’ve now been withholding it for nine days, without providing any of the information or specifying what they plan to remove.

Here are his comments from earlier today:

Costco just sent an email with their newest CV19 guidelines:

Have to wear a mask in order to get in & while shopping in the warehouse

That's a big one. I think since one major store has jumped in, the rest, especially Walmart, will follow soon. The more of the big stores that do this, the better. People will have to mask up then.

These forking drug companies better not jack with the price of remdesivir now, unless it's to lower it.

is there no other option for the livestock other than killing them?
=================================================
Dozens of beef, chicken and pork processing and packing plants have shut down across the nation as COVID-19 infections soar among workers. More plants are on the verge of closing on account of sick workers or facilities that need to be sanitized.

Left with few buyers for their animals, farmers have begun to kill and dispose of healthy livestock while they wait for slaughterhouses to reopen.

There will continue to be plenty of meat in grocery stores until the stock of stored frozen foods is depleted sometime in May — unless, of course, people panic about the potential shortage and start hoarding. But consumers are already feeling the effect of the processing plant closures in the form of higher meat prices......

It’s a dreadful situation that might have been avoided had the meat processing and packing industry moved faster to protect workers from infection instead of ignoring federal guidelines on social distancing. Now, more than 6,500 meat industry workers have been infected or exposed to the coronavirus, and at least 20 have died, according to the United Food and Commercial Workers Union. At least 100 U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors have contracted COVID-19 and one has died.

And yet things might get even worse under the “fix” that President Donald Trump came up with to head off a U.S. meat shortage. On Tuesday, he outlined a new executive order that designates meat processing plants as “critical infrastructure” under the Defense Production Act and forces them to remain open despite COVID-19 outbreaks.

And the magic ingredient? Exempting the meat producers from liability if workers get sick, according to news reports, because it’s “unfair to them.” That is, unfair to the companies, not the workers exposed to the disease..............

Actually the manufacturer of it has said repeatedly it will not raise the price.

My point is that we kinda have a control group. Its pretty much everyone who goes critical from Covid19 who doesnt get this drug.

Then, obviously, we'll all turn into zombies.

Broward finally got under 50 new cases in a day. 39 yesterday.



Dade really ran away with the number of cases.





Jacksonville looking decent.


Orlando looking decent.

Fortunately the beach openings in Duval appear to have little impact on our numbers. Still declining and only 20 deaths.
