Coronavirus - the new pandemic

[Darth Wedgius]

This should go without saying, but President 45 is dead wrong about the medical advice. Do NOT take hydroxychloroquine to treat or prevent Covid19! Not only is there a massive shortage for people who ACTUALLY need this medicine, but there's a lot of hospitals admitting people for hydroxychloroquine overdose poisoning.

When did he advise people to self-administer chloroquine or hydrochloroquine?

Or fish tank cleaner.

HE TWEETED ABOUT IT DAYS AGO! I know it's hard to keep track of the rolling insanity that is These Times, but I'm not going to risk further psychic damage by scrolling through his twitter account to bring you the individual citation.

He said it was promising and might help, and there's both in vitro and in vivo evidence for that. That's not an invitation to self-administer it outside of professional medical care.

I'm starting to remember why I left this bloody forum for so long.

What would we do without your keen logical insight, objectivity, and strict adherence to the facts?

In more relevant news, Rand "Typhoid Mary" Paul is at it again. Apparently he was, after testing positive for the virus, rifling around in the congressional Candy Desk, which is just a huge trough of loose jellybeans and is A Thing That Exists, and several more senators got infected from that, because we live in an era beyond satire.

Rand Paul has realised he now has the power to shut the Federal government down and all he has to do is show up and sneeze.

So responsible people aren't allowed to eat at McDonalds because other people made a mistake?

That's how everything goes these days - some people aren't responsible so assume no-one is and treat everyone accordingly.

Covid-19 has proven that much.

Let the record show that clearspira believes the rights of responsible individuals shall be taken away for the misgivings of the less responsible.

Thinking that shouldn't be the case is sadly a minority view. Politicians and the police don't like it because it means they've actually got to put some thought into things.

And that begs the question as to whether it's justified or not.

Because it ain't an echo-chamber?

Echo chamber?
...you think I have been in Echo Chambers?

I have braved the hellsites. I have argued with the worst of the worst on social media platforms. I have stared into the abyss, it has stared into me, and NEITHER of us liked what we saw!

What do you know, child?
