Tom Hanks and wife are over the virus. Australia has instituted treatments with chloroquine. an old anti-malarial, immunosuppressive drug and reporting a level of early success.

As far as the latest reports on a vaccine...one claims trials to begin with availability in a year.OK, then another,given by a woman MD in camouflage from Walter Reed states the drug they already have to combat Ebola looks like it's effective against corona. What's the truth? I'm a cynic. A few weeks back the US turned down help from Europe for epidemic supplies. Why? I think the military industrial complex is on top of this in THEIR own self interest. I feel the general population will be last on the totem pole when vaccine is made known.

as far as YOU, Patriot fan is concerned...stop the bullying and back biting. Respect others opinions and look to assist members in need with words of SUPPORT and SOLIDARITY. My 2 cents...and as one with COPD, recent pneumonia episodes,pleural effusion and congestive heart failure, I am doing my BEST to keep in good health and look to pass on ANY information I run across that may be of help to others. We have far too many extremely intelligent folks here who have been engaged in mud fights the past few weeks. We don't need any more mud slinging, we need solidarity and information to help our Pats fan community.

Thanks for staying engaged.

Just closed all bars and the restaurants are now take out, delivery or pickup. For 15 days initially but that will be extended for about at least 2 months if my guess is correct.

Cabelas just got some ammo. You can start that government coup anytime now, Trotsky.

I'm for if they don't raise taxes to cover it

Hey @TommyBrady12, if you would, read this and share what runs through your mind as you do. I'll respond thoughtfully (promise) and without rancor.

What If Andrew Yang Was Right?

If there's a paywall problem, PM me and I'll get you in for this one.

This is an honest effort to have a different kind of conversation about all this stuff.

I'll say this:

This thread made me realize that Brazil's political discussions aren't that far behind of those made in supposed developed countries

Scary to think how many people support Bernard “Marx” mcsanderson

Not sure how @TommyBrady12 feels about UBI but there is a misconception out there that UBI is socialist. Far from it. I can see why some people were against Yangs ideas, specifically the VAT.

Any coup would be launched by the country's military, Einstein.

You clearly don't give a **** how it happens.

Creating chaos in times of chaos is stupid.

China needs to be held accountable. First SARS now this. Regulate your wet markets and animal trading, or something

lol how would you propose to hold them responsible? Don't recall the US being held responsible for the Spanish flu (it originated in Kansas)

Just to interject, I think your country is the only one who cares about the spouse of their leader.

Hey, if ya'll haven't watched this, it'll make you smile and wince at the same time.

I hear it is getting around on FB, so maybe some of you have seen it there.

What aspect of his proposal do you want me to discuss? A $1000 refund from the government would be helpful, but only because it's a time of crisis. Likewise, if the government had a surplus, I'd welcome a check from the Feds. I would be opposed to it if would significantly raise my taxes though. In the case of a surplus that wouldn't matter, obviously.

primetime · Mar 16, 2020

Things that aren't going to happen so why are we talking about them:

1) China being somehow "held responsible"
2) A military coup of the civilian government of the US

I get that we're frustrated but leave the fantasy and sci-fi for the free agency thread...

Can one get thumb drunk from using too much hand sanitizer?

I'd say "Not if you tell the little bastid to keep his mouth shut." But since you are stuck with each other that's probably not the best approach.

C.R.E.A.M.

As for Spanish flu. That was 100 years ago. Times and expectations are different. I think this is a little different given the fact that at the very least the second time this has happened.

strong claim about Spanish Flu originating in Kansas. That’s not scientifically agreed upon
