One of the reasons I pray over my food...
I think all of us have seen this at times. yeech. We were at a restaurant once and the server's hands smelled so unbelievably bad it was nauseating. I probably should have just been honest and told her but instead I made some kind of excuse we had to leave and paid for the drinks and left.

I wash my hands when I leave the bathroom but honestly I usually open the door with my bare hands, probably more chance of germs on the door than on our dicks.
Lately I've been using my shirt sleeve or a paper towel. C'est la vie.

I watch that now too with public doors and hand rails but it is a habit I am learning. I missed it the other day when I put gas in the car and my wife gave me some hand sanitizer when I got in the car reminding me there are lots of people who handle the gas hose.

No doubt. And we all know the guidelines it depends how seriously every American takes them. I go to the store every couple of days I pick up items and put them back on the Shelf and sometimes catch myself scratching my forehead or something . I use the hand wipes at the entrance hope the store on the way in and the way out. But still if there's a germ out there with your name on it...

There likely were lots of germs with my name on it before this virus hit. I used to tease my "germophobe" friends but now I see they were just ahead of the curve. I have made a lifestyle change that will last after the pandemic such as more hand washing, hand sanitizing and keeping my hands from my face.
I was never one of those guys who left the restroom without washing their hands but I never gave much thought when I shook hands with people that perhaps they were ones who didn't? I think about those things more now.
Same way with public handrails and door knobs etc...places where a lot of people are likely to have touched them I think about that now where before I didn't.

More good news. I posted yesterday how disappointing it was to hear the FDA turned down DeWine's request about this but looks like they reversed their decision.

I am very sorry to hear this about your mother Jblu. My sister is in a similar situation now. She told me her knee replacement is currently failing and if it does she will have to have her leg amputated.
Also sad. about the timing of this for your mother and your family. My father in law was having some heart problems recently and spent a week in the hospital with no visitors allowed because of the coronavirus.
I never understood myself with all the sanitary precautions in a surgery room why there is such a problem with staph infections?

If I have a beef with the blaze or any other site and many of them share this trade is it they will tend to write headlines that are much more hyperbolic than anything contained in the article. I see it every day because my email is an AOL account. On an almost daily basis there is a headline that reads Somebody, almost always Trump, blast or attacks or rips or slams somebody from the opposition apparently in the eyes of AOL and their owners The Huffington Post, completely unfairly. If you read the article you will find it whatever was said is usually pretty mild criticism. But as with most news for profit Outlets on both sides of the aisle that's common practice and does not necessarily make the information within the article untrue. We just need to find out whether or not the quotes haven't been paraphrased or taken out of context. Then again most people don't read past the headline.

Great point. Some of the sites I post from do that with the headlines and no doubt they do it for the reasons you state. They want attention grabbing headlines to entice you to click to the story.

Long Island now has surpassed South Korea in total cases.
Just learned this today. My son is physician on the front lines treating COVID patients at Stoneybrook Hospital on Long Island. He is a nephrologist fellow (a doctor in training specializing in kidneys) and a critical care doctor.
He was sayin that it's so bad certain doctors and nurses either are, or will be, (I'm not sure how I heard it) wearing diapers. Man, that's fucked up. I'm thinking about him a lot right now.
I Googled the diaper thing and got this....
I pray your son stays safe and protected. These health care providers are real heroes fighting this invisible war.

I'm recommending that aquarium stuff.
I think what OBF was saying is that doctor has already been trying hydroxyq, with some favorable results. My POV? The FDA can go to hell in a handbasket with their overbearing restrictions on off label use of drugs. If you have an intelligent doctor, who knows you know what you're talking about- you sort of can self medicate. I do that myself suggesting medications I need to use for high blood pressure.
You really want to know why a lot of our drugs are made in China, Israel, or India? Blame the f**king FDA making drug companies jump through a million hoops to get a drug approved in the first place, and then send their asshole inspectors to the manufacturing sites to look for dust behind the refrigerators, so they can site them for petty violations of the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations). Which incidentally if it's printed takes up nine feet of shelf space, and that's just the parts that pertain to drugs. Believe me, working in a blood center (and blood is considered a drug) I had plenty of interaction with them. We employed four people who's only job was to make sure we didn't run afoul of the FDA.
Here is another example, Maybe the FDA has good reason to do this but we are in a war right now and time is not on our side.
"Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine is blasting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration after, the governor’s office said, the FDA limited the use of an Ohio-born technology to sterilize widely needed surgical masks.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration denied Columbus-based Battelle permission to sterilize a far greater number of face masks a day, capping the company to just 10,000 daily sterilizations of the masks.
The ruling also blocks Battelle from sending its technology to other metro areas, a release from DeWine’s office said Sunday morning.
“The FDA’s decision to severely limit the use of this life-saving technology is nothing short of reckless,” DeWine in a statement. “Battelle’s innovative technology has the capability to protect health care professionals and first responders in Ohio and across the country, but in this time of crisis, the FDA has decided not to support those who are risking their lives to save others.”
Added DeWine: “This is a matter of life and death. I am not only disappointed by this development, but I’m also stunned that the FDA would decline to do all it can to protect this country’s frontline workers in this serious time of need.”
For two days running, DeWine has publicly pleaded with the FDA to issue an emergency waiver for the use of the new technology that could sterilize up to 160,000 personal protective face masks every day.
The technology was developed by Columbus-based Battelle and could be used elsewhere.
In addition to offering this technology in Ohio, Battelle had intended to send one machine to New York City and another to Stony Brook, N.Y, which would have allowed for the sterilization of up to 160,000 surgical masks for New York’s health care workers each day, DeWine’s office said in a release.
Machines would have also been dispatched to the state of Washington and Washington D.C., the governor said."

I don't think we need a bunch of Facebook experts telling the doctors what to prescribe
I never claimed to be a Facebook expert but I do follow the golden rule. I messaged this woman and gave her the link to the doctor who has had good success with these drugs. I advised her what I would do in her situation. I advised her like I would for myself or any of my own family.
BTW - I got a message from the woman's family who thanked me for the information

And I'm not saying there could, and probably will be a heavy impact. My last statement is "it's contagious as hell". And as far as I can tell, the advice we're getting from the epidemiologists is largely being followed. Tighten those restrictions down any further, and you run the risk of riots.
Not my point again. Oh, so let's narrow it down to communicable diseases. Your hooker spits in your mouth, you sure could contract AIDS. Well.... let's take a look at what the World health organization says... Of the ten leading causes of death world wide- AIDS is there, as well as to my surprise- tuberculosis. Plenty of diarrhea deaths due to poor sanitation- and I count those as communicable too. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/the-top-10-causes-of-death Probably around three million deaths due to those causes- and I hear crickets chirping. Do I have to point it out again corona is getting all the attention because 1) it's communicable, and 2) is primarily hitting developed countries? Obviously fear sells big time. So keep those daily body counts coming, by all means- stoking the paranoia. I'm not downplaying this- but it's being treated like the death rate from this virus is up in the 30% range, not the 1% or so (higher in at risk groups) that's the reality of the situation. Until we know what the true ratio of # infected to #deaths, we're guessing. Help us out with some numbers, South Korea. Knowing the percentage of asymptomatic cases might calm the hysteria down a tad. Then again, might make it worse- that stranger in the store is the boogeyman corona carrier, and if I get it, I'm gonna die for sure...
We don't know yet what the daily death toll will top out at yet, but OK- 2,000 virus deaths in one day\ 160,000 total world wide deaths = 1% LOL, heart attacks and strokes (by far the largest reasons for death) don't sell papers or get internet clicks.
That I agree with you on. Cal and the guys out in farm country are relatively safe. Dr.Drew pointed it out weeks ago- this gets into the homeless population around Los Angeles (or any big city) it's not going to be pretty.
I live in a more rural County and we have had 4 documented cases of covid 19 and then my wife showed me this facebook page of a woman in Sidney who likely has covid 19. I messaged her and told her she needs to get on hydroxycholoroquine and zpac combo right away, According to the doctor who has had a lot of success with these drugs he says if you wait too long and are put on a ventilator there is more chance of lung damage at that point and then these drugs are not nearly so effective.
The same doctor said that covid 19 is 3 times more contagious than regular flu and 10 times more deadly.

If a bombshell story comes out and the mainstream media doesn't report it, is the story still a bombshell?
No
Now Biden insiders are saying that Biden will not make it to November because of his mental issues. Why would Biden insiders be leaking this to Fox news except they want the story to be reported? Couple that with a new sexual assault charge from almost 30 years ago and I would say the drums are pounding already in democrat circles to get Biden out of the race. One way or another.
"While appearing on the Charlie LeDuff podcast, Carlson claimed that Biden insiders told him they don't believe the former vice president has the mental fortitude to last until the 2020 election in November, speculating that the Democratic Party may revoke his potential nomination.
"I sincerely and totally believe that Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee on Election Day," Carlson began.
"How does that math work?" another podcast host pressed. "It's not about math. It's about will," Carlson said, saying the Democratic Party is "intent on taking power."
"Two competing imperatives: We've got to win, but we've got a guy who can't win. Therefore, they're going to replace him," Carlson continued. "He's not going to make it, and the people around him know that. Trust me, I know them. And I know they know it, because they've said it to me."
Carlson went on to estimate that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is "most likely" to replace Biden for the Democratic nomination"

The democrats had a huge field of weak candidates running and the democrat establishment (using their media allies) put their fingers on the scale and decided to go with Biden believing he had the best chance to beat Trump. When Sanders looked to be unbeatable the dem establishment knew this country would not elect an open socialist like Sanders so they went to work at CNN and MSNBC and other media allies to demonize Sanders. I predicted at the time Sanders would fall in the polls with the liberal media turning against him and he fell like a rock.
It was not only the media but whatever arm twisting or promises made to other democrat candidates by dem establishment to get them to drop out of the race and stop splitting the votes to help Biden.
So now the dem establishment got their wish. Joe Biden is a lock to win the democrat nomination. But as Biden shows terrible performance after terrible performance on the public stage the dem establishment are having some buyers remorse.
The dems are stuck with Biden as it is too late in the game to try to parachute Cuomo in. I still would not rule out some kind of attempt to draft Cuomo as they will do just about anything to beat Trump.
Actually the timing of the sexual charges against Biden right now are a little suspect. This supposedly happened in 1993 yet only right now this bomb gets dropped.

Y'all come up north Tour. Cause that just might happen. We got plenty of nuisance geese up here that need exterminating. I hear they're pretty tasty if cooked properly, and are good for several days worth of food.
Y'all????? Using the Y-word??? 😄😄😄😄
The word ‘y’all” is racist and should be banned
Southern hate words have no place in our diverse and inclusive society
It’s clear that this word is far too hateful to be used in everyday life. The sheer number of traumatized persons from a variety of marginalized groups is staggering. It’s 2019, and this hatred is unacceptable. The only way forward now is to ban this despicable word and simply brand it the Y-word. Anyone caught uttering this monstrosity should be locked up, heavily fined, or re-educated.

How will Pharmacies be able to tell the difference?
The pharmacies wouldn't. This would fall on doctors prescribing hydroxychloroquine. They would only be able to prescribe the drug for those who tested positive for covid 19.
Personally I would not want to be prescribed hydroxychloroquine for mild symptoms of covid 19 but if the symptoms were quickly progressing to severe that is when I would want to take the drug. There may be better drugs coming down the pike but as of right now If I had severe symptoms of covid19 I would go with the hydroxychoroquine and zpac combo.

I know we need more studies on hydroxychloroquine and zpac to be clinically studied but for now it is one of the most promising things in our tool box for those with covid 19. I want patients and their doctors to decide if they want to take this drug. What the doctor who has successfully treated 700 patients with the drug has said is once lung damage is done and patients are on ventilators these drugs are not so effective. That is why I messaged the woman on facebook who was having severe breathing problems it might be critical for her to start taking hydroxychloroquine and zpac now before her symptoms got worse and then it might be too late to take the drug.
As some have already said we are at war with an invisible enemy and you fight with the army you have and not the one you would like to have.
