Where's the petri dish thread?

People take Hydroxychloroquine to "fight" Malaria.
Ok, but I believe Malaria is not "caused" by a virus or bacteria. It's "caused" by a parasite. I honestly don't know, is COVID-19 "caused" by a parasite?
Trump can do as he pleases, his physician can do as he/she pleases. Whatever.
Again I will say I honestly don't know but my thought is does the President of the United States have a responsibility to the American people to NOT take prescription drugs - just for the hell of it?

Amazing:

Just watched the Medical Editor for The New Yorker, Dr. Atul Gawande, say that in addition to Moderna, there are two additional companies who have demonstrated safety and an effective immune response to COVID. (I'm paraphrasing.). He said in the past it usually takes ~ 3-5 years to reach this stage in the process of developing a vaccine, and this has been accomplished in ~ 3 months.

Promising.

I would argue he most certainly has a responsibility to not get stupid people killed. And this is certainly one way he's doing that.

If you take hydroxylchlroqueen, or any drug for that matter, because donald trump does, then you deserve whatever the consequences are.

Seems to me his opponent should be able to run with this some.

You get paid to watch porn at "work"?

No wonder you're upset.

No wonder you're upset.

If I were to look up porn at work, my browser would flag me and I would get in trouble. That was my point. Sorry you didn't get the point, but it's certainly not the first time. Carry on.

Amazing to me how some people believe in something they can't prove exists and yet they deny Coronavirus is real.

Damn you China! This is all your fault!

Once again, we're left to wonder how accurate our data is, because

Republican Governors: "We're All China Now!":



As Florida starts to reopen, the architect and manager of Florida's COVID-19 dashboard, announced she'd been removed from her position, Florida Today reported.

Rebekah Jones said in an email to CBS12 News that her removal was "not voluntary" and that she was removed from her position because she was ordered to censor some data, but refused to "manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen."

Jones made the announcement May 5 in a farewell email to researchers and other members of the public who had signed up to receive updates on the data portal, according to Florida Today. She said that for "reasons beyond my division's control," her office is no longer managing the dashboard, involved in its publication, fixing errors or answering any questions.

Florida's COVID-19 dashboard, created by a team of Florida Department of Health data scientists and public health officers led by Jones, was praised by White House officials for its accessibility, the Florida Daily reported. But over the last few weeks, it "crashed and went offline, data disappeared with no explanation and access to the underlying data sheets became difficult."

Jones told CBS12 News that since she's been removed, the dashboard still hasn't been fully repaired.

Dave Aronberg, the State Attorney for the 15th Judicial Circuit which includes Palm Beach County, took to Twitter to respond to the matter, calling the allegations, "disturbing."

Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried also responded to the story. Fried wrote on Twitter, "Thank you Rebekah Jones, for not being afraid to speak out." [...]

My favorite Bible verse!

(And also imho more telling about the actual life and ministry of Jesus than perhaps any other verse. It’s almost surprising the early church leaders and various councils who edited the gospels from who-knows-how-many down to four even allowed that verse to stay...)
