The Coronavirus Thread...

[jsmith6919]

Welp what? I'll take them everyday over Hannity, Ingraham, Limbaugh and Tucker. They like facts.

Why do you go to the extreme automatically? Why not say Chris Wallace who calls balls and strikes? JFC your partisan attacks are transparent af

You still haven't mentioned the other Cuomo touting hydroxychloroquine.....

 

[jsmith6919]

It's almost like you're a hypocritical little bitch

I’m watching the hydroxychloroquine debate closely. Trump mentions it 3 or 4 weeks ago, the media and print news start calling him a snake oil salesman. Now there are whispers that it’s actually helping and gaining traction as a possible treatment for covid-19.

But instead of a retraction or an apology, they’ll blame him for a shortage of the drug because he made it public too early.

First off, your posts are not nearly as bad as others so I certainly was not calling you out specifically. However, this is what you posted a few pages back. Trump has mentioned it multiple times, not once 3-4 weeks ago. He even mentioned in yesterday or the day before in his presser. Then you say he's been called a snake oil salesman when people have said he's overselling it which he is at this point. Then the whispers that it is actually helping is also misleading. Cuomo saying it's anecdotally helpful and the French releasing yet another study which has no controls and not enough pts is not "whispers." Again there was some limited data and there is still some limited data. It's not compelling but it's enough that some people are using it.

Then you say he deserves an apology. None is warranted. He should stay in his lane or at the very least repeat what the experts are saying rather than make his own conclusions with insufficient data.

Yeah. But I've just read 15 posts about this shit and how the liberal media is downplaying the benefits of a life-saving miracle drug. That's not what happened and it's not accurate. The sources I watch (Sanjay Gupta, Cooper, Cuomo) have been saying exactly what I said. Can you find some wingnut out there saying everyone is gonna die? Probably but that's not fair to judge everyone by that.

There is limited data at this point. It may help but more data is needed. But "just take it, what's the harm" and to take it prophylactically as the President has rec on multiple occasions, including to Laura Ingraham, what 2 days ago? It's inappropriate. The problem is, the more experts ask Trump to stay in his lane, and more he resists and doubles-down.

But hey, I better stop now or jsmith is going to beat me up and take my lunchmoney.

It's not that they are down playing it. It's a joke that the Liberals would rather die than to say Trump was right. It's satire, nothing more.

Well perhaps I'm a bit too close to the issue to find it very funny.

Probably.

I'm also guessing most Liberals don't like it either because it's poking fun at them.

I don't really care much about making fun of safe zones and political correctness because I don't really associate that with my own views. However, this is in my wheelhouse. That being said, like Sheik I generally like reading your posts, it was just the straw...

I’m missing the point where the outrage comes in.

My assertion, I don’t know if I’ve made it here or not, is that Fauci isn’t going to come out and out his credentials on the line for a treatment that hasn’t been through the ringer of tests and studies. I think he leaves that for the administration who is looking for any silver lining there may be in this whole mess.

I think that’s why when Fauci has been asked about the treatment, he hasn’t completely shot it down, he’s done what anyone of his stature would do, he’s careful about what he says.

The outrage over Trump mentioning the treatment is much to do about nothing. It’s one more thing to complain about. Yeah, nobody knows for sure at this point, but nobody knows either way.

I’m certain Trump didn’t wake up one day and tell Fauci that he may want to try this treatment he dreamt about the night before. I’m sure medical professionals brought it to his attention.

Trump mentioning the treatment doesn’t make it work less or more than what it might on it’s own. It doesn’t make it any more dangerous either. It just gives the media the opportunity to blow something else out of proportion.

Are you working at one hospital or multiple currently?

Are you guys seeing deaths daily attributed to the virus?

Yeah I find that I can usually laugh at stuff on both sides.

Didn’t read this post, but I’m impressed you’ve posted something longer than three sentences without it being a bunch of auto-corrected words of jibberish

Fauci isn't touting it because it doesn't warrant being touted. His position is the medical community consensus position. That may change in time. I suspect something better will come along but if not, then maybe we'll all be on it except for folks who can't safely take it. Who knows.

Again, it's not the role of the President to rec off-label drugs for treatments it hasn't been sufficiently tested for. When non-medical people do this shit, it pits the medical community against a segment of the population. See Jenny McCarthy. The President needs to be more responsible with how he uses his platform. But, that could be said about a great number of things he has said.

Many doctors all over the world are using it. I'm positive not a single one is doing it because Trump said they should.
