CitizenVectron Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I hold both opinions, and I don't see any conflict with that. If Trump is right about something and it helps people, I will be happy about it helping people, but also mad because it gives Trump credit/praise (since he is a horrible person and leader). If Trump is wrong about something and it ends up not helping people, I am unhappy about it not helping, but also happy because he looks like the moron he is (since any guess he made was purely that, and not based on any logic or reasoning). I don't see anything wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I was POSITIVELY THRILLED at the prospect that the Imbecile would encourage his ardent supporters to take an unproven treatment. Like UTTERLY beside myself with TOTAL GLEE at the myriad possible outcomes! THRILLED. TO. DEATH. I'm SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED that he didn't keep pushing it at each and every opportunity.

Guest Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 It’s really simple, in the face of widespread death and harm, a good therapeutic is worth more than Trump getting owned. Cheering for it’s failure is petty nonsense. You are all better than that. Except Wade, naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Guys, to be clear, hydroxychloroquine isn't going to randomnly come out of these studies as an effective COVID-19 treatment. It won't because it isn't. Point is the drug was deemed so dangerous that they couldn't even conduct a trial on it based on very faulty data.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Oh, they're also having us wear face shields now when in contact with any patient. Thanks for the safety, but, damn, I feel like I'm breathing like Darth Vader under all this shit and the damn thing fogs up soooo bad. We had another positive case on my unit this week, a patient I admitted last week, the same night as my exposure. They were asymptomatic, but it's being required that every patient gets tested before transferring to another medical facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marioandsonic Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 PA just ended it's stay-at-home order for all parts of the state, and more counties are now in the green phase of recovery. They'll probably announce more counties that will follow next week. So far, cases per day have been declining despite the reopenings, which is fantastic.

Again, this is (to some extent) the system functioning as designed. Early analysis suggested the drug was not safe to use in specific populations. When this happens, it is unethical to continue the trials. Those data proved dodgy so they were called out, and the course was replotted. I'm not excusing lousy work, and the Guardian article did a good job calling out some of the problems inherent in observational studies. I am always, always, ALWAYS going to be in favor of a conservative approach to continuing research if preliminary data suggests a particular compound, or in this case, compound in a specific population, is not safe.

AbsolutSurgen Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 I don't think there will ever be a single "miracle drug" for the treatment of COVID-19. Based on everything I've read, it is more likely there will be a "cocktail" of drugs. I don't think anyone knows what drugs will/won't be part of those cocktails (because I suspect doctors in different areas will use different cocktails).

MarSolo Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 As Trump touts increased production, coronavirus swabs made during his Maine factory tour will be tossed in the trash Quote It is not clear why the swabs will be scrapped, or how many. The company described its manufacturing plans for Friday as "limited" – but the disruption comes as public health officials in Maine and other states have complained that a shortage of swabs has hampered their ability to massively scale up coronavirus testing. Who wants to bet they got scrapped because a maskless idiot walked into the production area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
