No one would care if Johnson died of covid in this country.

obviously I hope he pulls through.

it is funny that his dad said the whole thing was a hoax and we shouldn’t change anything.

wonder if he feels the same way now,

I'm busy doing other shit right now, so my Googling isn't all it could be

But here are the WHO's recommendations:


Here's what they said after meeting with China at the end of January:

The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, today met President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China in Beijing. They shared the latest information on the novel coronavirus 2019 (2019-nCoV) outbreak and reiterated their commitment to bring it under control.

Ah whoopsies. full disclosure. I only watched the beginning of trumps prepared speech today. Watched the entire QnA section. So that's the part I was referring to as great

I particularly liked the how he continued to commend governors from "the other side," and when he called out some politicians as having political answers, he slipped in a "i might do that too." A rare moment of honesty for any politician

He also did a much better job about directing his anger of people not giving praise to not be about praising him, but praising thousands of americans busting their asses to try to right this ship. It seemed genuine. I dug it

But you watched the Queen's speech right?

@Splinty This is a quote from JT on January 29:

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau replies: “Our health system is very well prepared to deal with the coronavirus in Canada. We are taking all necessary precautions to prevent it from spreading. We are collaborating with our partners abroad, and Dr. Tam, who is the head of our Public Health Agency, is working as an expert at the WHO to ensure international coordination. Our best practices are in place at hospitals and we have put preventive measures in place at airports. The risk to Canadians remains low and our health care system is prepared to prevent the virus from spreading.”

Chicago Tribune, April 3: “A new, different type of coronavirus test is coming that will help significantly in the fight to quell the COVID-19 pandemic, doctors and scientists say.”

“The first so-called serology test, which detects antibodies to the virus rather than the virus itself, was given emergency approval Thursday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.”

“The serology test involves taking a blood sample and determining if it contains the antibodies that fight the virus. A positive result indicates the person had the virus in the past and is currently immune.”

Let’s just try and keep the mad right wing in their place?

if we can do this we may be able to salvage a society.

Lol.

I'm not sure why this got in your crawl. I'm mostly thinking out loud about our list of potential treatment options right now.
outside of supportive care there's only a few on the table as we await things to come through trials. And a vaccine seems like it will be far off despite Bill Gates and others building seven factories or whatever.

So you've got a handful of pills. those should be start testing right now but they haven't shown any efficacy in the critically ill.

You've got Gilead and some others doing some phase three trials on antivirals.

And right away we could start testing recovered serum. One of the biggest challenges to date has been where do I get antibodies from recovered serum since we're not testing.

despite FDA approval if you come in my hospital and are critically ill I can't even trial serum bodies on you because I don't have an apparatus to collect them.

New York represents the largest number of patients and there's a lot of exclusionary criteria even when you find somebody who is a recovered patient. So you need a lot of patients unfortunately.
A lot of people seem to think that this is just a New York problem if they believe it's real at all. I think there's a real irony in New York getting hit the hardest but maybe holding a treatment. And We should be helping them and not thinking of them as some isolated area that this won't affect the rest of us.

I'm not even gonna dignify this response with a response, other than the response I just dignified it with, which is the only dignification it will receive.

Well hindsight is 20/20 so we can all say we shouldn’t coulda woulda done things differently. But I also think he took it way too lightly early on and his assumptions about medications, the severity of the contagion, calling it a hoax early on are really on him and no one else. He falls for right wing conspiracy theories a bit too easily and that leads to weird responses to legitimate issues.

With all of that said, and I’ve said this before, I want him to do good here. I want to hear him say the things we need to hear. I don’t want to hear stuff like “well I heard this, it may be true, I don’t know, find out for yourself”. I want him to take this extra serious and not look like he’s annoyed at having to deal with something that he feels he’s bigger than.

If he did well tonight, I’ll have to go back and watch it. I’ve been waiting for him to do well. Lol

Trump never called the virus a hoax. Not once. He did say the left is using it as their new hoax against him.
