COVID-19 in Central Nebraska

Just put this in perspective: literally noone is shorting the commodity markets right now and oil is now a full month into trading below production/transportation costs. Farmers are pre-marketing below input costs as a hedge against themselves and we know that 40% of their market is gone for at least 2 years with ethanol being dead. Banks are giving up on balance sheets and going to character lending.

Not likely. How many coronaviruses have vaccines now?

Its probably just an amazing coincidence that the director of domestic policy is a former lobbyist for Gilead.

Til they get scared it wont be paid, the Feds reassurances will hold.
If not, all bets are off.

Yea, the only case of reinfection that was plausible was a nurse who got reinfected as she got it early.
Her reinfection was mild symptoms.
Like a mild flu attack.

Possibly. Most people in dc are tied at the hip.
But avoiding politics here, even going outside dc is criticized.

Seems no way to win.

Just glad this looks like a real therspy.

No way to win with some people for sure..

Coronavirus vaccine developed by UK researchers could prove effective by July, executive says

Saw an interesting analysis looking at death rates in New York, Spain, Italy and France in the months of 2020 vs same months last 5 years. If the overall mortality data is correct (and I don't have a way to verify it) - actual deaths occurring since March are MUCH higher than the numbers being reported for COVID-19. That could be explained by something other than the virus - but even crime related increases due to so many out of work would be offset by fewer accidents due to less driving/travel. Also might explain in part why China's death totals were so far off - the choice to classify many as non-Covid19 deaths.

Just points out to me the data by state and even globally is likely flawed and I feel the risk is as bad or worse than what is typically being discussed by major media.

Hydroxychloroquine Has about 90 Percent Chance of Helping COVID-19 Patients, States Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS)

Generic drug with great results across a wide spectrum= anecdotal evidence.

Experimental drug with patent and moderate results= very promising.

AAPS is ultra conservative and not a group most physicians would recommend we listen to. I hope ultimately it does work but no way I would take it right now with the information available.

Regardless of political affiliation, anybody is capable of compiling data.

Their history in this area is questionable at best. Including completely misrepresenting leprosy rates in illegal immigrants (using data over 30 years and saying it was for 3 years to be specific). Of course Fox News shared that information as "fact" while multiple new organizations debunked it as junk. I appreciate it being shared but I does not agree with information being provided by the rest of the medical community. Proceed with caution is all I am saying.

I think its better if usedo earlier. Just from what Ive read.
Jumping to remdisivir later into infection might turn into a great one two punch.

But it has helped some, but finding that one great helper? Remdisivir may be it.
Of course, we can use the chinese findings, those using heart burn medicines

Veterans Affairs Study Found Malaria Drug Led to More Deaths, No Benefits in Coronavirus Patients


Politics aside it seems this drug is not a cure/fix

Supposedly the veterans they administered it to have significant pre-existing conditions and it was used as a last resort when the patients were near death already. Hard to say what the truth is, but when we are getting positive reports from all over the world about it this definitely seems like something in the sample was different than usual. Its a generic drug so there isn't a profit motive involved for all of these doctors that say its effective.

Again, this is for early treatment only. It cant stop swelling when it's already occurred,but can keep it more at bay when it starts happening.

I post this here
Coronavirus Update (Live): 3,331,164 Cases and 234,776 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer
Take a look at those numbers.
Look at recovered numbers.
Compare the US to almost any other country in recovered numbers.
Somebodies fudging those numbers.
Why the US at 15% and Canada at 40%?
Why are we less than half the world average?

Too many things like open ended death projections.
You say, 2.2 million,200,000 sixty,whatever, we were never given a time.
Now that their numbers have been revised once again, but this time upwards,we have now been given a time.

Keep an eye on that recovery rate, just like real numbers not accounting for asymptomatic peoples, it will start jumping up,tripling in number. Asymptomatic,likely ten fold or more.
