Standard of care in Korea, per Korea COVID-19 Central Clinical Task Force.

Monitor with no treatment unless old or underlying conditions.

If old/high risk 7-10 days antiviral therapy with Kaletra ($ABBV) or hydroxychloroquine (off-patent) but not both.

Screaming headline that the drugs that are literally the standard of care in Korea and being followed in most countries are a newly discovered cure. 🙄

Italy is reportedly NOT using the antivirals (Kaletra or hydroxychloroquine) that are being used in Korea.

That report looks wrong.

Here is a translation of Italian treatment guidelines, listing Kaletra and hydroxychloroquine.

What the wildest attempts to attach unrelated agenda items to Corona bills you've seen?

Taxpayer funded abortions
Electric vehicle subsidies
Wind and solar power subsidies
Credit card interchange price controls

What else?
Forgot this Warren special
Imagine seeing this as an opportunity to hit airlines with expensive new regs

Good results in France combining Plaquenil with Azithromycin.

Also note though that Italian docs have abandoned azithromycin.

The @Comm4Prosperity has released a simple four-point plan endorsed by founders @StephenMoore, @SteveForbesCEO, and Dr. Arthur Laffer.
committeetounleashprosperity.com/release-commit…
1) Suspend the payroll tax for every business and worker in America through the end of the year. This would apply to employers and workers and would be the equivalent of a 7.5 percent pay raise for every worker and a 7.5 percent payroll cost reduction for all businesses.
2) Pay for the tax cut with a 50 year Unleash Prosperity Treasury bond at historically low 1 percent interest rates. There is no shortage of demand for US securities.

Just spoke w/ a surg resident from a major program where elective cases R cancelled but resident schedules haven’t been changed appropriately to address #COVID exposure concerns. This resident is expected to TRIPLE SCRUB a case in 2 days. How are people letting this happen? 1/8
As a intern w/ zero authoritative power, I’m incredibly thankful for our chief residents & fellows here @UMichSurgery who have taken it upon themselves to work with faculty & our dept leadership to address this crisis and it’s impact on our health system & day 2 day workforce 2/8
Services are limited 2 only essential “skeleton” team members, usually a chief/fellow + junior resident who round. Residents are not staffing clinics. Urgent/emergent cases are covered by level appropriate residents w/ care to minimize # of ppl in hospital at any given time 3/8

As we navigate unprecedented times, we must take unprecedented action to help our residents & our economy now & in the future. That’s why I am launching an Economic Support & Recovery Task Force to help protect Toronto’s economic success in the wake of the #COVIDー19 pandemic.
The Task Force will identify immediate and longer-term economic recovery strategies for residents and businesses, with a focus on supporting those segments of the economy that are most strongly impacted by #COVIDー19, such as tourism, hospitality and entertainment.
The focus of the Task Force will be on quickly determining what current supports and stimulus work needs to be done. The City will be working with industry partners to identify actions to support businesses, workers, and residents in responding to the economic impact of COVID-19.

Putting my sociologist hat on. For those who are tired of the science, the numbers, and the really big words; I wanna explain this in layman's term.

The problem is not so much the virus, the problem is US (double entendre)
The U.S. has a completely different cultural system than China. We are not as community-focused, family oriented, or obedient. We're not discussing if that's good or bad, only talking about WHAT IS.

What we lack in those 3 areas directly contributes to the spread of #COVIDー19
Americans don't know HOW to self-quarantine because those 3 factors are not top of mind. We don't inherently think about our neighbors. A lot of us don't even know their names.

We're not thinking about elders b/c we weren't taught that taking care of them was OUR responsibility.

#COVIDー19 @ewarren @BernieSanders We need a progressive agenda on epidemics STAT! There is going to be panic, an emergency, hoarding and if Dems in office and Dem candidates do not prepare an agenda that is more than Trump is screwing up then Trump ultimately will win.
1. RELIEF FUND: Until we have univ. health care we need an emergency health relief fund. The # of critical cases, meaning cases requiring significant medical intervention, are more than ten fold the number of deaths. For many this will result bankruptcy levels of medical debt.
2. ER COVERAGE: Health Insurance companies should not be allowed to deny coverage for treatments that are not 'pre-approved' or "FDA approved' as all of the treatment options for severe cases of COVID are 'off-label'
