Anyone wants to risk a bet on the eventual number of sick people? Dead people?

Illegal or Bench Warrant?

I get the joke of the meme obviously. That girl is not attractive though.

I wonder if the couples cam porn industry is going to boom now? I don't see why it wouldn't. Are there investments in porn publicly? Or is it too dirty to publicly trade?

Looks like that prize goes to Professor David Paterson, if he can prove his cure works reliably.

OK, now what exactly is the name of the obsolete HIV drug that cures coronavirus, and who owns the patent?

The owners are either going to make a metric shit ton of money, or their patent will be violated for very good reasons.

Or maybe the patent has expired.

She is hideous though Patrick. I don't think you can call that a prize. She's painted in makeup like a clown and the face still looks shitty. I like natural beauty that doesn't need paint to attempt to look below average. I generally have no problem with tattoos, but chicks wear sleeveless stuff all the time and it looks tacky. She's a 4 at best. Stay away to avoid an STD type, regardless of her career.

Baltimore Mayor Begs Residents To Stop Shooting Each Other So Hospital Beds Can Be Used For Coronavirus Patients

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore Mayor Jack Young urged residents to put down their guns and heed orders to stay home after multiple people were shot Tuesday night amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

The Australians didn't say, but other sites say that one drug is a combination: lopinavir/ritonavir (marketed as Kaletra or Aluvia, and patent expired in 2016!), and another is called remdesivir.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lopinavir/ritonavir

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remdesivir

In late January 2020, remdesivir was administered to the first US patient to be confirmed to be infected by SARS-CoV-2, in Snohomish County, Washington, for "compassionate use" after he progressed to pneumonia. While no broad conclusions were made based on the single treatment, the patient's condition improved dramatically the next day,[7] and he was eventually discharged.[19]

Also in late January 2020, Chinese medical researchers stated to the media that in exploratory research considering a selection of 30 drug candidates, remdesivir and two other drugs, chloroquine and lopinavir/ritonavir, seemed to have "fairly good inhibitory effects" on SARS-CoV-2 at the cellular level. Requests to start clinical testing were submitted.[20][21] On February 6, 2020, a clinical trial of remdesivir began in China.[22]

On 17 March 2020, remdesivir was provisionally approved for use for COVID19 patients in a serious condition in the Czech Republic.[23]

On 18 March 2020, the first italian COVID-19 patient was successfully cured with remdesivir. [24]


Damn, that was just today.

One would think this would lead or would have led to rogue doctors using it more. I wonder how that works, if a drug that hasn't been approved for certain use is known to work. Does word get around ? It must right ?

The Chinese guy who brought the disease to Seattle was cured when he had severe pneumonia and it was allowed out of "compassionate use". There seem to be exceptions like that.

As for word getting out, sure, doctors talk, and maybe this very post is helping.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Baltimore Mayor Jack Young urged residents to put down their guns and heed orders to stay home after multiple people were shot Tuesday night amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

Young said hospital beds are needed to treat positive COVID-19 patients and not for senseless violence. Seven people were shot Tuesday night in the Madison Park neighborhood, as Baltimore reported its fifth positive coronavirus case Wednesday.

“I want to reiterate how completely unacceptable the level of violence is that we have seen recently,” Young said. “We will not stand for mass shootings and an increase in crime.”

I mean they could have been out arresting Obama’s sons in the severa years prior to this.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is a novel virus that caused the first major pandemic of the new millennium (89, 180, 259). The rapid economic growth in southern China has led to an increasing demand for animal proteins including those from exotic game food animals such as civets. Large numbers and varieties of these wild game mammals in overcrowded cages and the lack of biosecurity measures in wet markets allowed the jumping of this novel virus from animals to human (353, 376). Its capacity for human-to-human transmission, the lack of awareness in hospital infection control, and international air travel facilitated the rapid global dissemination of this agent.

Coronaviruses are well known to undergo genetic recombination (375), which may lead to new genotypes and outbreaks. The presence of a large reservoir of SARS-CoV-like viruses in horseshoe bats, together with the culture of eating exotic mammals in southern China, is a time bomb. The possibility of the reemergence of SARS and other novel viruses from animals or laboratories and therefore the need for preparedness should not be ignored.

Yeah, lip service will get it done. You don't like those suitcases full of cash from the drug lords?

Many good things are happening because of coronavirus:

Germany Stops Refugee Program (9:34 a.m. NY)
Germany has stopped the resettlement program for refugees as part of the government’s measures against the coronavirus, a spokesman for the interior ministry said on Wednesday. As part of the EU-Turkey agreement, Germany has taken in refugees from Syria and Turkey since 2012.


Many borders being closed, countries becoming acutely away of the massive hidden harm of dependency on China and similar countries, illegals out of work with restaurants closed, international flights now justifiably suspect as disease vectors, and on and on.

Now if only it would take out Saudi Arabia.

The novel coronavirus currently isolated in China has been, with staggering speed, evaluated regarding its sensitivity to already used drugs [12]. Thus, the new antiviral drug remdesivir [13] as well as chloroquine, at an EC50 of 1.1 µM, were found to be effective in preventing replication of this virus [12]. Chloroquine is perhaps one of the most prescribed drugs in the world [14,15]. As a matter of fact, all Europeans visiting malaria-endemic geographic areas for decades received chloroquine prophylaxis and continued it for 2 months after their return. In addition, local residents took chloroquine continuously, and treatment of malaria has long been based on this drug. In addition, hydroxychloroquine has been used for decades at much higher doses (up to 600 mg/day) to treat autoimmune diseases [16]. It is difficult to find a product that currently has a better established safety profile than chloroquine. Furthermore, its cost is negligible.

The Chinese say so too:

http://english.www.gov.cn/statecouncil/ministries/202002/17/content_WS5e4a944dc6d0595e03c20f35.html

BEIJING — Chinese experts, based on the result of clinical trials, have confirmed that Chloroquine Phosphate, an antimalarial drug, has a certain curative effect on the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), a Chinese official said here on Feb 17.

The experts have "unanimously" suggested the drug be included in the next version of the treatment guidelines and applied in wider clinical trials as soon as possible, Sun Yanrong, deputy head of the China National Center for Biotechnology Development under the Ministry of Science and Technology, said at a press conference.

Chloroquine Phosphate, which has been used for more than 70 years, was selected from tens of thousands of existing drugs after multiple rounds of screening, Sun said.

According to her, the drug has been under clinical trials in over 10 hospitals in Beijing, as well as in South China's Guangdong province and Central China's Hunan province, and has shown fairly good efficacy.

In the trials, the groups of patients that have taken the drug have shown better indicators than their parallel groups, in abatement of fever, improvement of CT images of lungs, the percentage of patients who became negative in viral nucleic acid tests and the time they need to do so, she said.

Patients taking the drug also take shorter time to recover, she added.

Sun gave an example of a 54-year-old patient in Beijing, who was admitted to hospital four days after showing symptoms. After taking the drug for a week, he saw all indicators improve and the nucleic acid turn negative.

So far, no obvious serious adverse reactions related to the drug have been found among the over 100 patients enrolled in the clinical trials, she said.
