COVID-19 in America

[two sheds]

Eh indeed.

Hydroxychloroquine has around the same amount of side effects as paracetamol.

The Costa Rica example is interesting as it deviates from the narrative most of the Western media are reporting.

Do you have references to back up that the side effects are of similar seriousness and frequency? If not, you're promoting this stuff which could lead people to believe it is as safe as taking paracetamol. Which, if it is not true, would be dangerous conspiratorial nonsense of the kind people have been banned for before now.

I've reported this as conspiracy theory because that's what it is.

The White House is paying up to $600 million for dozens of N95 mask-washing machines that end up damaging them

Battelle said N95 masks are still safe to use after 20 washes in its machines. Medics told NBC News they were unfit for use after two or three.

Well this one for a start

He's been trying to sell himself as just a dribbling idiot with an interest in US politics lately but I think purposely repeating very niche alt right memes disproves that. Not that he's not a dribbling idiot but Apple news doesn't just chuck that sort of shit at average users. A month old article no less.

Fuck off with this dangerous shit. There are some of the same side effects but 'around the same amount' is just bollocks.

28 is oddly specific.

true, but i had as a parent someone who believed that she knew what others were thinking. i mean, seriously. to the point of red-faced, screaming assertion, and she acted on her beliefs.
i did not have a happy childhood. it's a serious deal.
/sorry, derailment over now.

Dangerous bollocks of the highest order. Warning given and you're banned off this thread now. Keep posting up conspiracy drivel like this and you'll end up like Dr Jazzz.

This isn't the thread to discuss this but suffice to say his grip on these boards is becoming very tenuous.

OK not going to start a call out thread asking how many Threads he is banned from



but promising , i've been working thru this stuff so less exposed to it

putting up with some people during a lockdown must of been frustrating for some to the least

It seems to be a slow-motion, 'death by a thousand cuts' banning - by the end, he might be reduced to just saying 'Trump' on the 'word association' thread.

I've always known the political situation in the US was fucked up but I never managed to imagine that purposefully spreading a novel deadly disease would become fashionable. I feel like I'm getting first hand insight into the sort of cultural trends that have historically caused declining empires to collapse at accelerating rates rather than recognizing defects and self-correcting. Maybe I can write a book about it when I'm old if I survive that long.

Yeah, he might just be making a buck off this somehow and not even be taking the stuff. Get a bunch of idiots to hurt themselves to raise a stock price? Wouldn't put it past him. It's nonsensical for him to take it, I've only ever heard of doctors using it as a last resort for people who already have a serious infection. If it has some effect it's in suppressing an active infection, it's not fucking preventative medicine and it has a lot of side effects regardless.

The study involving NHS workers will look at whether it is any good as a prophylactic. Most of the evidence one way or another has been taken from retroactive studies.

Interesting, I didn't know it was being studied as a prophylactic at all. I was under the impression that it was only being used to try to ameliorate symptoms in people who were already infected. I'm not a doctor so I'm not extremely up to date on research regarding the virus.

It has been used for that as well. Those taking hydroxychloroquine had worse outcomes than others in the study. It was retroactive though and likely it was given to those who were already in a very bad way compared to those not given it.
