Guest Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Harris County/Houston will be requiring masks for all people in public beginning today and running for the next 30 days. This is likely in anticipation of the State reopening plans that will be expanded Monday next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Ugh, with the cockup on DDing my Trump bucks, it's gonna be the end of June before I get my ~$1,000. https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2020/04/21/stimulus-checks-schedule/#6677f577b840 If I would have known this would be an issue I would have just waited until I got my DD to file in 2019. I was originally supposed to file end of February, but then that fell through the cracks and I didn't wind up filing until the start of April.

skillzdadirecta Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Has this been posted yet? Because if it hasn't... https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/22/politics/rick-bright-barda-trump-coronavirus/index.html Quote The director of the office involved in developing a coronavirus vaccine says he was abruptly dismissed from his post in part because he resisted efforts to widen the availability of a coronavirus treatment pushed by President Donald Trump. Dr. Rick Bright had led BARDA, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, since 2016 until Tuesday, when was reassigned to a narrower position. He also announced he will file a whistleblower complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general. "I believe this transfer was in response to my insistence that the government invest the billions of dollars allocated by Congress to address the Covid-19 pandemic into safe and scientifically vetted solutions, and not in drugs, vaccines and other technologies that lack scientific merit," Bright said in a lengthy statement issued Wednesday. "I am speaking out because to combat this deadly virus, science -- not politics or cronyism -- has to lead the way." He cited "clashes with political leadership" as a reason for his sidelining, as well as his resistance to "efforts to fund potentially dangerous drugs promoted by those with political connections." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Looks like Fox News has given up on Hydroxychloroquine as well Quote Fox News has fallen out of love with hydroxychloroquine. After weeks of unrelenting coverage hyping the antimalarial drug as a potential game-changing treatment for the coronavirus, the network has all but stopped mentioning it on its airwaves. So has President Donald Trump. The quiet abandonment of hydroxychloroquine comes as studies indicate it is not an effective treatment against the coronavirus. A French study found last week that the drug does not help patients with the virus. And on Tuesday, a study of hundreds of patents at US Veterans Health Administration medical centers found that patients who took hydroxychloroquine were no less likely to need ventilation and had higher death rates than those who didn't take the drug.
