All this "gotcha" nonsense for 'made for tv' soundbites really shows how little all of these people give a dang about us.

Dont disagree but It is hypocritical the way the media and the left do not point out the corona virus risk associated with all the rioting, but will arrest a man by himself surfing

No more hypocritical than continuing to censor doctors' videos because it doesn't match the status quo.  Or people taking advantage of the gubmint money that is being handed out.  Or the wacky reporting of covid deaths.  The corruption and deception is all over the map on this mess, while more than .  No one really knows how many have died, nor what really works in combatting the disease.  It's been a media blitz of (dis)information from the start.  (I was way wrong in my initial death toll predictions, sadly.  But I was more right in my predictions of economic disaster looming.  In fact, I am sure I underestimated even that.  100,000 small businesses have closed permanently and it's looking like it will take at least into 2025 to get back to any semblance of normalcy, and that's if we beat the virus very soon.)

 

Read this today (re: CO covid death reporting)

As of Friday, the state Department of Public Health and Environment is breaking up its tally of COVID-19 deaths into two categories.

 

The first category has been used by the health department since the start of the pandemic and includes the total number of people who died who have COVID-19, regardless of whether it was the virus that   ultimately killed them. This number, which sat at 1,257 deaths as of Tuesday, comes from reports made to the state health department by doctors, laboratories and coroners.

 

The second comes solely from death certificates that listed COVID-19 as a cause of death. That data shows that there were 968 people who died directly from COVID-19, as of Tuesday. There’s a several-week lag in the death certificate data so public health officials expect that number to increase.

That means 56% of the deaths were from other illnesses, but counted as covid.

Part of the concern over hospital payments is driven by the fact that the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid has told providers they can use the COVID-19 diagnosis code for patients who not only have tested positive for the virus, but also those who are believed to likely have the respiratory disease. This is different from other illnesses, such as heart attacks, where the diagnosis is more concrete, Lonborg said.

So hospitals get 20% more money for covid medicare patients, and are allowed to claim covid if the patient "is believed to have covid" minus a positive test. We are asked to believe that hospitals are not fudging their coding to gain a monetary advantage.

I forgot to mention above the increase in suicides this year.  In some places, there have been more suicides in a few months than we normally see all year.

Chloroquine results against SARS-Cov from 2005.

 

Quote

Virol J. 2005; 2: 69. 
Published online 2005 Aug 22. doi: 10.1186/1743-422X-2-69 
PMCID: PMC1232869 
PMID: 16115318 

Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread 

Conclusion 

Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV infection. In addition, the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-CoV antiviral compounds.

If only the cell culture data could be always reproducible in the whole organism...

The daily beast, seriously?  lol

 

Yeah, never even thought about this particular SNAFU from the virus.  So many things are jacked up nowadays.

Pretty hard to miss, as it was the very first line in the post.
