there is hope bill gates is setting up factories for 34 different treatments and drugs as they begin testing to try to get ahead of the bureaucratic process, this way if one gets approved or proves to work they can start making it and be ready to distribute world wide, he said is one of the perks of private money, he can waste a few billions making some factories if he can help humanity, we need all billionares to be like bill gates, i dont see bezos doing anything and amazon its making more money than ever

SoOrbudgal I'm optimistic, a contrarian by nature, a buyer when others are sellers. I think we'll see good progress from on the ground trials ,researchers, and from the pharma companies stepping up(disclosure, own ABBV and MRK stock ), now that some of the bureaucratic bullshit red tape has been cut.

Nice to hear about this news.

Dr. Praises Hydroxychloroquine For Coronavirus: ‘Very Ill’ To ‘Basically Symptom Free’ In Hours
https://www.dailywire.com/news/dr-pr...aign=dwtwitter

A Los Angeles doctor praised using hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19 during an interview with a local news station on Sunday, claiming that it has a dramatic effect on patients who are seriously ill when combined with zinc.

Dr. Anthony Cardillo, CEO of Mend Urgent Care, made the remarks during an interview with ABC 7 news anchor Jory Rand.

“What we’re finding clinically with our patients is that it really only works in conjunction with zinc. So the hydroxychloroquine opens the zinc channel, zinc goes into the cell, it then blocks the replication of the cellular machinery,” Cardillo said. “So, it has to be used in conjunction with zinc. We are seeing some clinical responses in that regard. There are people that take it regularly for other disease processes, we have to be cautious and mindful that we don’t prescribe for patients who have COVID that are well. It really should be reserved for people that are really sick, in the hospital, or at home very sick that need that medication, otherwise we’re going to blow through our supply for the patients that take it regularly for other disease processes.”

“Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8-12 hours they were basically symptom free and so, clinically I am seeing a resolution that mirrors what we saw in the French study and some of the other studies worldwide,” Cardillo continued. “But what I am seeing is that people that are taking it alone, by itself, it’s not having efficacy.”

The farm bill of 1985 took a lot of dairy cows off the market as a result of the government buyout.

is that a dwarf woman

Farmall I turned one in '71. My passport photo. I come from strong, Norwegian stock, as you can see. Used lava rock to cut my teeth. Mom usually trimmed me because Dad was at sea. Changed my diaper. Cleaned up drool and puke. Like she did when Dad came home.

Bloodybeard is what they called me when I was young. It was because of this thing that happened a few times that I mostly blocked out. Eventually, everyone thought I went through a phase because whatever wasn't disappearing, and I got my current moniker. But then I got into kindergarten.

Dad was killed when he was on ambergris expedition. His job was to tickle the back of the whale's throat to make it puke. Well, one whale tried to hold it in by puking into it's mouth. Dad felt no pain. Mom couldn't stand being a widow. Dad was a real son of a bitch but Mom was crushed. She took the insurance money and made a few changes to pretend Dad was still around. Whatever her issues, I know Dad never wore assless panties.

My current passport photo is up to date. I'm not wearing a hat in that one.

Done dabbing.

My passport picture from 1971 has a beard... a teenage one, but a beard.... my new passport picture 2018, has that same beard.... although a bit lighter in color. Shaved it once, for a week! 🤮

[SoOrbudgal]

Good plan

[Gingerbeard]

I'm considering training my beard up and growing my moustache longer to cover my nose and mouth.

I too am a bearded one. I've been dealing with masks for some time, was an environmental chemist. They're just not effective w/ the beard. The recommendation is so you don't arisol your self onto someone else. N95 or better for first responders and healthcare. Anything else for the public.

I’ve had a beard longer than I haven’t. I’ll find other ways to protect myself before I shave my beard completely. I’ll trim it now and then for my wife but she’s never seen me without it and she probably never will.

Saw that happen in Vermont back in the 1970’s. My friend wound up losing 134 cows and eventually his farm that had been a multi-generation entity
