    Agree. There would be no other way in my opinion. It would not surprise me to see this in the next couple of weeks.

    The United States of America and the world would have been much better served if those pesky bone spurs had forced our "Wartime President" to sit this one out as well.

    NY alone is testing 45,000 a day and if they want to get people back to work, who already have the antibodies, then they will need to continue to increase the daily count.

    I think the bigger issue was the size of the dosage. On the aquarium bag it showed 10 grams so not sure how that would compare to a prescription dosage
    EDIT:
    I do have the dosage info from doctors who have been giving this over the last couple of weeks.
    HCQ 600 mg q12h on day 1 followed by 400 mg q24h on days 2-5.
    So the aquarium dosage is pretty much 10X what is prescribed for day 1.

    I don't have any expectation that he will read and honestly evaluate the information presented. But I still post factual information for those following along at home.

    Very true. I understand not wanting to spend that kind of money but it sounds like they were a little light on ventilators to begin with.

    Atlanta has barely tested, is locked down and hospital ICU’s are already full:

    Atlanta lost 200 of its patient beds at Grady Hospital due to a flood at Grady Hospital so they are short the regular number of beds

    Ironic, huh? The people who most support unitary power in their president or yell “states rights” at virtually everything bitch the loudest when their mayors and governors exercise the same unitary powers at state and local levels.

    Nope this is mostly a game of Dems trying to ruin the economy (Hence the Dems in S Fla shutting things down DeSantis refused to (despite FL having not even one passing per million residents). The Dem Governors and Rep DeWine of Ohio can own it after 3/30 if they keep it up after the top is shown to have been reached with something 1/4 of what H1N1 was and with Trump saying get back to work saying in reality the doom takedown is over. They already caused a recession worse then 2008 with these draconian work lockdowns Trump wont let it be a Great Depression they want.

    thanks, we were out of town the week before Xmas and I never even read about that flood. That’s a huge bed loss absent a pandemic.

    So, maybe if I wrap my crying like a little entitled drama queen bitch in the flag & cross people will take my unwillingness to help my country as patriotism. Shameful coward

    I'm not really sure why Fever keeps posting that guy's tweets. He's just some random lowlife lawyer.

    Right, because all local Dem leaders are anointed and don’t face re-election anywhere. Such nonsense.

    It’s abject lunacy to think any politician wants to self impose a depression anywhere. Ever. The mayor of Macon ga, a far right mayor in a deep red part of the state locked down yesterday. Forced every tenant in a $30m shopping center my partners and I own to close indefinitely. None are going to pay April rent. If anyone had a right to bitch it’s us. But guess what. We all think he made the right decision for his constituents.

    Why? Because he wants a depression? No-because he believes in science.

    guess China and Italy and South Korea wanted depression too. And now Spain. And Louisiana.

    it must be painful to live exclusively in a binary partisan world where the bogeyman is always out so get your side.
