#1 Good. Eat the propaganda your "party of science" is feeding you, and there will be a lot less of you around to spread the stupidity. Even better there will be more people that listen to their non-political physicians, and President Trump, who will live, and outnumber you self-terminating morons.

#3 Son-in-law (a doctor) showed me a medical paper last week regarding hydroxychloroquine & COVID-19: I didn't completely understand and don't completely recall what I did understand, but it mentioned three different biochemical mechanisms by which the drug reasonably could be expected to inhibit the virus, though none were yet proven to do so.

#6 Hopefully this isn't the same 18% who threatened to move to Canada if the Orange Man became president.

#8 Hydroxychloroquine has become an absurd debate in the U.S. Here this is not an ideological discussion.

The malaria drug is tested, but of course it's not the only drug which is tested.

Whatever works will be fine.

#9 ...its only a debate because of the Orange-Man-Bad pan-epidemic that proceeded the Kung Flu. That has flatten a bit but looks like the level stabilized out to indefinitely.

#10 Not a "debate" but the S-show. Three conditions satisfied:
1. Extreme absurdity: check
2. Gross incompetence: check
3. Noxious virtue-signaling: check

#11 We need to look at the "active" cases. Their number is dropping slightly in Germany now.

Worldometer shows almost all cases as "active" in the U.S. which is nonsense. Do they not report "recovered cases" in the U.S.?

#12 Total daily new infections, Sweden:
3/30...475
3/31...555
4/1.....601
4/2.....357
4/3.....366
4/4.....341
4/5.....391
4/6.....739
4/7.....656
4/8.....645
4/9.....542
4/10...389
4/11...419
4/12.....83
4/13...(not yet published)
4/14...(not yet published)

Don't have exact daily counts for deaths but based on the graph showing same, Sweden's daily COVID19 deaths have also fallen steadily during the past week after peaking at ca. 70 per day.

Based on my interpretation of the daily bar chart, they fell to an average of ca. 25 per day early last week and have fallen still further, to ca. 15-18 per day, over the past several days.

#13 Only 18% of Democrats etc.

I applaud their willingness to stick up for their principles...their intelligence, not so much.

Question is, if those surveyed came down with the bug, would the refusal rate stay the same? Bets being taken now. The over/under is 75

#15 Need any additional proof that leftists don't think for themselves but turn to their favored propaganda organs for instruction on what is the proper thing a good lefty is to think?

#18 Bloviating nonsense. If any of them were diagnosed with the virus they'd beg for anything to save them. Survival to fight against Orange man in the future is their greater good.

#20 Meh if they die, they die. More for the makers, rather than the takers.
