Coronavirus

dude have you got actual evidence of the efficacy of masks in transmitting this thing ?? So many different reports. Here we're still being told not to bother.

Masks for non medical workers can actually be a source of cross contamination. Additionally supplying masks that are in short supply in public hospitals to the general public makes no sense. The **** that is going on at my work over the issuing of PPE and shortages is insane already and the **** hasn't even hit the fan. Stay home and socially isolate yourselves you *****.

At the end of the day it costs next to nothing to wear a mask (Except maybe your pride), but it could cost you a life you don't.

So yeah it's your choice @Douchebag K .

if the general public start buying masks which would otherwise go to health care workers it is a problem.

There's a good amount of evidence piling up that Hydroxychloroquine and zpack works to mitigate the virus. Studies in China, France and the US all seeing similar results. Patients who are already taking Hydroxychloroquine for other ailments like lupus aren't catching COVID.

This should be being used more than it is. Our doctors should seriously be considering recommending it to healthy patients who aren't at risk taking it.

It's very likely not a cure. But common sense is telling us it works on some level. We don't have time to go through all the studies and trials and FDA red tape before using it. The time to try to save lives is now.

Apparently the best drug right now to treat Covid 19 is the Japanese drug Favipiravir.

Sounds about right. The Japs are infinitely smarter than our dumb asses. Nagasaki and Hiroshima not withstanding.

Yeah here's the article:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...-effective-in-treating-coronavirus-says-china

Medical authorities in China have said a drug used in Japan to treat new strains of influenza appeared to be effective in coronavirus patients, Japanese media said on Wednesday.

Zhang Xinmin, an official at China’s science and technology ministry, said favipiravir, developed by a subsidiary of Fujifilm, had produced encouraging outcomes in clinical trials in Wuhan and Shenzhen involving 340 patients.

“It has a high degree of safety and is clearly effective in treatment,” Zhang told reporters on Tuesday.

Patients who were given the medicine in Shenzhen turned negative for the virus after a median of four days after becoming positive, compared with a median of 11 days for those who were not treated with the drug, public broadcaster NHK said.

In addition, X-rays confirmed improvements in lung condition in about 91% of the patients who were treated with favipiravir, compared to 62% or those without the drug.

Every sentence in that paragraph is false.
