In South Florida, one new case of coronavirus is diagnosed every 72 seconds. I swear, it's about to explode here.
Coral Springs has rapid tests for their first responders and somehow the tests can detect the antibodies. The news report said they got them from China. They look like the tests you can get on Wish.
I cannot believe the world around me right now. Yes, I believe it's there and happening, but jesus fucking christ this is un-fucking-real.

Edit: "This programme will be available shortly after broadcast". An hour or so after this edit.
...according to the physician Sharon Moalem. He tells Kirsty Wark that women live longer than men and have stronger immune systems because they have two x chromosomes to choose from. In his book, The Better Half, Moalem calls for better understanding of the genetic gender gap and for a change to the male-centric, one-size-fits-all view of medical studies.
But if women have greater advantage genetically, where did the prevailing idea of fragile female biology come from? In The Gendered Brain the cognitive neuroscientist Gina Rippon traces the ideas of women’s physical inferiority to the 18th century, and later to the brain science of the 19th century. Even after the development of new brain-imaging technologies showed how similar brains are, the idea of the ‘male’ and ‘female’ brain has remained remarkably persistent.

pslyke said: What do my shroomy friends in the US think about the fact that Trump has prohibited 3M from shipping masks to Canada. Do you support such a decision, or do you think resources should be shared in a bilateral way?
It is bullshit either way but have seen a narrative about how none of 3M's masks are made in Canada so the harshness of my judgement is weighted by whether raw or semi-refined Canadian materials are used to make the masks
if it's made in USA and sourced in USA, there is not much we can do if it's made in USA and sourced from Canada, it points back to my larger concerns of Canada not having enough of a production sector

So India has banned export of Trump's much beloved anti-malaria drug under a similar basis
Quote:
Nearly half the supply of hydroxychloroquine to the U.S. comes from makers in India, a flow that has now been abruptly stanched after the Asian nation banned exports of all forms of the malaria drug touted by President Donald Trump as a “game changer” for treating the coronavirus.
According to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence, 47% of the U.S. supply of the drug last year came from India makers. Only a handful of suppliers in the top 10 are non-Indian, such as Actavis, now a subsidiary of Israeli generics giant Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. It’s likely that some of their production facilities are nevertheless located in India, the biggest maker of generic drugs in the world.
India’s export ban on the drug is aimed at ensuring it has enough supply for domestic use after the American president’s endorsement sparked global stockpiling of the medication. As the coronavirus pandemic widens globally, countries competing for supplies have enacted export bans or restrictions on goods from rice in Vietnam to face masks in Germany.
While Trump said that the U.S. has secured 29 million choloroquine or hydroxychloroquine pills for its medical stockpile and American drugmakers like Mylan NV have re-started production of the tablets to meet U.S. needs, the India ban will likely push prices of the medication up in the short-term, while limiting available supply in the long-term.
The active chemical compound needed to make the drug is also mainly supplied through Indian channels and is now banned for export too, potentially complicating efforts like Mylan’s.
There’s no conclusive scientific evidence that hydroxychloroquine can treat the infection from the novel coronavirus, and it hasn’t been approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. for Covid-19.
India’s April 4 move was an expansion of an announcement last month which banned overseas shipments of the drug except for those to meet prior commitments and for humanitarian grounds. There are now no exceptions to the export ban.
The top U.S. supplier of hydroxychloroquine, Zydus Pharmaceuticals Inc., is a subsidiary of Ahmedabad, India-based Cadila Healthcare Ltd. It sold over 167 million units of the anti-malarial in 2019, according to Bloomberg data, and has supplied 28 million integrated units to retail and institutional channels in the U.S. so far this year.
Prior to the ban, Cadila said it was planning to ramp up production of hydroxychloroquine tenfold to meet surging global demand.
https://time.com/5816105/coronavirus-treatment-cut-off-india/
How do US members feel about this in light of Trumps decision to cut off Canada from masks from a company whose sole source of pulp used in said maskes comes from British Columbia?

Check out this quote
"When Trump signed the $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief package, he issued a signing statement saying he will not allow a special inspector general created by the law to monitor spending to send reports to Congress without his supervision."
from this article... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/04/us/politics/trump-coronavirus-post-impeachment-purge.html
Basically, trump fired the old inspector general (for doing his job), put in a new and completely unqualified replacement, then stripped the position of the ability to monitor spending of the $2.2 trillion without trump looking over his shoulder...
Wonder why he'd wanna do that?

Clearly the question was rhetorical, but he's obviously going to further enrich himself and his friends and flood red and swing state businesses with bribe money to better his chances of winning in November... and they'll all cheer him for doing so.

BOTH parties passed that stimulus bill and it's for the very wealthy, very little of that money is going into Main Street.

Either a national lockdown or cut off states that don’t participate.
So you think a state like Wyoming, who has yet to have a single death from covid, should shut down everything and go on full lockdown? Or Alaska, who has less than 200 confirmed cases?
And what about rural small towns far away from cities that don't have a single case? Should they close the doors on their two restaurants because a city over a hundred miles away has a bunch of cases?
Not trying to start an argument here or a debate -- just genuinely wondering.
Personally I think it should be up to the state as far as lockdowns go. I mean why even have governments at the state level if we can't trust them to do the right thing?

Exactly.
Do people actually think that one party or the other bullied the other one into getting exactly what they wanted?
One would have to be either significantly naive to believe that or just willingly puts on horse blinders just to see what his or her party wants them to see.
Personally this event has only further strengthened my disdain for both parties, which I thought would be impossible quite frankly, as everyday I'm subjected to both parties shamelessly weaponizing this horrific event that has seen 75,000 peope die worldwide and listening to their fanboy constituents incessantly whine back & forth over it. It's like listening to sports fans of two rival teams except infinitely worse.

The law states that spending must be audited by an inspector general and trump has indicated that he will not follow this part of the law
The law also prohibits federally elected officials from receiving any financial bailout money. I think trump needs that money or he’s gonna go bankrupt

And by the way since shit is so overwhelmingly negative in here as we constantly update everyone with the confirmed cases and death statistics, which is almost like misery porn at this point, I will be posting the recovery numbers instead.

It has nothing to do with the money going to main street.
Trump has basically said he's rejecting oversight on where he and his people decide to distribute the money. If he gets his way, it's pretty obvious how it'll end up. Pump up the economies and lower the unemployment in the places where votes are needed. Blue state governors were mean to him. Save some for after he's re-elected, then funnel it to his family through back channels like increasing share prices in stocks they own.
He's not the typical politician (dem or rep) that's only really after campaign donations and a future lobbying position. He's spiteful, petty, has an election coming up and has already been told by his own party that he's above the law and unimpeachable. If you don't see that's a problem and would rather play the "what about..." game, then.. 
The money would go to big business whether it was a democrat (except maybe bernie) or Trump, but the implications of him stating that he will ignore oversight and his past business and personal decision history make the future allocation of those funds far more questionable.
