I can invision a time when HCQ is a standard prophtlaxis in any non-spiking area and people going about their daily business taking HCQ 200 mg per day. I have an elderly cousin who was on 400 mg/day for eighteen years, for RA. If the manufacturers can produce enough, we could have folks working in all the non-hotspot areas, taking 22mg of zinc picolinate or a zicam sub-lingual, and 200mg every day or every other day until the cows come home smiling again.

If someone starts showing signs of infection, up the HCQ to twice a day 200 mg and add either doxycycline or a Zpak for five or six days.

Of course, dr Fauci will have a stroke and get out of the way with such an action nationwide. Bill Gates will spit and rage until he too joins Fauci in the stroke stats. But America will be back to MAGA.

So could the new Ortho Clinical Diagnostics blood test, already in mass production, which will tell people if they have antibodies to the virus and are probably immune.

"Probably immune"? This is one of the key questions. A big "known unknown." How immune are persons who have recovered from a mild infection? From a severe infection? Immune for life, like some diseases? Immune for a long time, like the diseases where you get a vaccination plus a booster shot every few years? Or is Wuhan coronavirus like flu, changing enough in a year that you need a new vaccine every year?

I like option two better, but option one makes me smile more.

The left is always saying "Why can't we be more like Sweden?" Well, here is their chance.

Fauci needs to stop the showman gig and go back to his lab. Those who can work from home need to continue to work from home with the necessary incentives to help that happen.

Those who cannot need to get back to work, starting with those who have more limited contact.

Option one: Suspend pay for all Federal employees until the last hairdresser goes back to work.

It would end quicker than you could say Beemer Payment.

Option two: Drop Anthony Fauci into some blue-collar small town way beyond the Beltway that now has double-digit unemployment, WITHOUT his security detail.

It would end quicker than you could say Flatten the Curve.

You just ain't whistlin' Dixie!

Saying they (Mark Lipsich) are well-meaning is like saying Jeffrey Dahmer was hungry.

“Porfessor” Lauren Ancel Meyers won’t lose HER job in any shutdown. She won’t even miss a paycheck.

Sweden is battling this virus successfully

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Their numbers are starting to rise. I’d go slowly in labeling Sweden a success.

Don't start talking about good things just yet. We have to keep pointing out the unlikely possibilities that things could get worse.

Government workers are always on the payroll. They get raises all the time, you can’t fire them, they are not accountable. Best retirement guaranteed.

Some states are already at or past the peak. Other states it won’t matter because there were largely unaffected anyway, so they can reopen even before they peak.

Made sure everyone’s getting big checks....A huge number of people will riot if you make them go back to work.

I have no intention of rioting but neither am I returning to work until the medical experts agree that we have passed our peak. It's not about fear of death, for as a healthy 30 year old I am extremely unlikely to die of CV. It's not about government checks either. It's about avoiding permanent lung damage and/or an astronomical medical bill. Right now I am actually better off financially if I remain unemployed than if I returned to work and caught CV. Unless wages go up and/or health care costs go down staying home until the peak passes is just the responsible thing to do, both for my personal finances and to ensure that I will not be a burden to society for the rest of my life, which could be awhile.

An honest Press would be telling us about every potential treatment and how soon it will be available.

Zeke was the same guy who wanted us all to kill ourselves at age 75. Now he wants to save everybody over 75 with pre existing conditions.

Obviously, the guy is not being consistent, nor honest.

Or he just turned 74
