Impossible. Social distancing doesn't work, ardilla.

It doesn’t work. Just ask any skeptic.

How many of these dead pastors are going to be interned in the US Capitol Rotunda? Or, in the nation of freedom of religion, can there only be ONE America's pastor? How much did Franklin Graham inherit, when dad died? only the lord god our sheepherder will know, for sure.

Also in general, I expect Swedes are healthier than say Italians. I bet that fact weighed in favor of their decision/approach.

Fredo is holding on line 2 for you, and he doesn’t sound happy.

I know it's stereotypical, generalized, and probably not PC to many here but the fact remains, Swedes are a pragmatic lot living a pragmatic culture as compared...

Put another way, Greta Thunberg is Swedish, not Italian. Is that worse?

Ingrid Bergman vs. Sophia Loren. Debate among yourselves.

It's my Dennis Miller theory of homosexuality shot through the movie "Boy and the Dolphin." If you're a 12-year-old boy and you're watching the movie "Boy and a Dolphin" and a 27-year-old Sofia Loren crawls up out of the Aegean Sea after sponge diving, she's standing there in the deck of the boat in a see-through gauze top, rivulets of water dripping off her torso onto the deck of the boat. If you're a 12-year-old boy and you're watching that and you still want to make it with the captain of the boat, you're gay.

It's better when she moves!

Ok, that test is probably 100% reliable and valid.

Blood clots seem to be a major factor in COVID death. Apparently affecting a third of all who die. Anticipated asthma comorbidity doesn't show up in the data.

I heard a blurb on the news today about a new protocol. Patients in cardiac arrest may not be code blued do to a lack of resources to commit to the intensive work it takes to do so. I have heard no verification of this being true. Ii do know that a code blue takes intense effort and time from medical folks who are stressed to the limit already.

My bad, this for EMS folks. https://riverheadlocal.com/2020/04/18/n ... scitation/

It is a lie, sorry if you think I am screaming it. There is zero proof that social distancing is flattening the curve.

We all get it. There aren't any numbers or data that anyone can show you to convince you otherwise.

You can't even come up with what would prove that social distancing is working.

The ONLY way to test your theory.....is to just go about business as normal with zero changes.

And even then? What would you come back with if infections and deaths went through the roof? You'd come back with "so what, people die all the time".

And yet you wonder why no one wants to try your path.....

# RRR believes it is all a hoax.

Everything?

Yeah, I don't seem to care, at all..........about anything.

And, I blame tRump for me not caring. Don't you

I'd be remiss if I didn't pump my favorite stock, Gilead, at least once a day.

The second clinical trial had very promising results too! Man, I tell you, the free market is a beautiful thing.

The savior drug, run by a dude that House Democrats on the house whatever committee tried to shame for being smart. Thank god for American ingenuity. Let's roll. And...

Back to work!

[runrussellrun]

what path would that be, AFAN? Have you ever asked?

Yep. Three times now. And every time I ask, you get mad, give me sentences that I don't understand, and don't answer the question.

I'll try again, get even more specific:

You're telling us that we can't prove that social distancing is helping to keep hospitals for being overwhelmed. Great. So what do you propose, for example, the governor of NY should have been doing all this time? You're suggesting he should have done nothing, and just see what happens, right?

This is pointless. You still have the fecebook book mindset. It's impossible to discuss anything, or anyone, with this mindset.

What is the opposite of "do nothing" ? Do EVERYTHING ?

Hospitals ARE being overwhelmed, aren't they? Or, are you forgetting the pictures, posted on this very thread, of dead bodies stacked up.....blah blah blah.

You know what the governor of NY should have been doing all this time? Wearing a gosh darn PPE during his daily press conferences. b/c, they matter, right. You feel confident in your air supply system, at work, that it will filter out the guys delivering your boil to make hand cleaner, outside, on the loading dock.......coughing, because masks keep the droplets from.........geebus.

This is why it’s better to be closer to someone when they sneeze! You want to be really close when they don’t cover their nose....honestly....you may even want to get closer and open your mouth to catch their sneeze. Being further away is pointless.

good news.
Entering Phase III, which is when they actually get to efficacy.

Sounds like it's at least helpful, nothing else so far has been so even some help would be important.

This was long considered far more likely to have some benefit than hydroxychloroquine. Folks on here said so early.

Definitely not a miracle cure, unfortunately, but good is better than not!

However, there appear to be some other approaches more promising still...which is also a very good thing.

Man, I tell you, the free market is a beautiful thing.

And Gilead got their money for this research from......who?

Government handouts staring you in the face. And you still can't see it.

The FDA's granting of orphan status for remdesivir as a treatment for COVID-19 came with financial incentives for Gilead that include tax breaks, waiver of FDA fees and market exclusivity for seven years if the drug is approved. New drug molecules typically only get five years of this exclusivity.

BTW, US taxpayers are suing your super awesome "free market" company for IP theft. Might want to put that into your stock pricing.

Your linked story is two days old and as a result, a very sad attempt to look intelligent; ie: before the second clinical trial's results were released.

Rock and roll, Gilead!! Dems gonna dem, selling misery and fear. Stay the course.

Back to work!

in that Fla. poll:

Biden is up 52-42 among 65+ year old voters.

2016 exits had Trump 57-40 over Hillary with 65+ Fla voters

Trump’s base is catching on.

As a stock, maybe not such a wonderful opportunity, but still a good thing.
Just way less than Petey wants to suggest.

I'm long and strong and riding with my boy Dan O'Day until this pandemic is crushed. My cap gains will pay for the jumbo crabs at MD's plus a few bottles of your reserve collection.

So that makes it an even four times I've asked the same question.

I've been polite enough to answer your questions, and you can't return the favor.

Not the correct thread, but Trinity, I don't like to see grown men cry, so a word of advice: don't bet on Florida for a Democrat for at least 3 more presidential election cycles.

[a fan]

That's all fine.

Just stop complaining about big government and big handouts. You like both quite a bit.

Whether you'll admit it or not, you've learned a ton this year at the Forum.
