Torches are 25$ apiece now and you can only get them at Amazon.

You seem to be conflating some Bezos-level corp. owner with a poor guy cooking Raman down the street.

The approval is for 30 days.

I'm generally in agreement with you, but tangentially, Chloroquine was already tried in some countries (not in the controlled sense we expect in an actual clinical trial), and showed "promising results" https://sci

You're missing the point that patients receiving this treatment are considered in a terminal condition and are likely on life-support (that is the only situation you could give an unapproved drug to a patient).

I live in Israel, definitely do not support our PM, and believe this is a crucial measure that will save many lives. The approval is temporary and conditioned. Israelis are being mind-blowingly disobedient to instructions. Usually it's

It's in the statement. Elevate official and authoritative information over fake news and lies.

I think the internet as a whole is not fully prepared for this global binge/upload your dancing kids vid event. Not that I care, I've got books.

By definition, any successful preventive action would always look like an overreaction.

I think the responsible thing to do is limit yourself to minimal risk activities s.a jogging. You do not want to find yourself seeking medical care.

"my country" is not the US. Fixing a country is very difficult. I've long accepted that "fixing my country" is not something I can do. Grabbing my kids and hopping on a plane, otoh, is fairly easy. (as to your quest

Canada is a hefty, relatively normative, English-speaking country, I always assumed it'll be the obvious temp. shelter in hard times.

There goes my plan to flee to Canada once things go south.

60% of your population will get the virus and take the ~million deaths this implies 0.5% fatality rate. That's about an order of magnitude off.

I've read (unconfirmed, citation needed) that Italy has been pathologically testing all fatalities for covid, and other countries don't. That may significantly skew the numbers.

In the long run we'll have protocols and procedures, and your physician will have seen hundreds of covid cases before treating you, and the fatality rate will (wishfully, possibly) converge to standard seasonal flu.

Maybe you can run the fakehn on-premise. At times of mass hysteria it's indistinguishable from the original.

No. It tells you if you'll have 10mm in 30d or 20d. (assuming business as usual)

I don't think number of tests is of much interest currently - it's not very important, in terms of required action, if US has 10k or 100k infected.

FDA has emergency approval process and it'll be used when shit hits the vent. In fact it was just used like two days ago.

Wake up people. The fatality in Italy borders 8% average! For that age group it's > 10% UK seems to be playing a very dangerous game.

You're two steps behind. Who do you think pushed all these "nutritional recommendations" ?

Reading this thread is the official confirmation that Americans are out of their mind.

You are using past tense to describe an emerging event. I agree, very few nations took the required decisive actions. We've wasted all the time China gave us.

So... what's the course of action for medical staff?

Ignoring the controversial parts of your comment - voluntary distancing to the point of "work disobedience" is of extreme importance, and we developers should responsibly lead the charge and flat out stay home regardless any polic

Sure but shutting down all schools also shuts down the economy. Isn't closing borders for people , a more cost effective course of action ?
