That's awful and I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope she gets better quickly. Take care of yourself, too.

Thanks, she had a low fever the last few days and it went down to normal today, just as we got the results. She's feeling pretty good right now but the doc says there's still a 3 day window after her symptoms go where it could flair back up.

US blocks millions of N95 face masks headed for Canada

“Never again in the history of Canada should we ever be beholden to countries around the world or companies around the world for the safety and well-being for the people of Canada,” Ford said Friday. ”I’m not going to rely on President Trump, I’m not going to rely on any prime minister or president from any country ever again.”

it was 500,000 masks and they have been released.

An Ontario government source then clarified that it was actually 500,000 — not three million — medical masks held up at the border, but said they had since been released.

Then after that, Ford spoke to media at his daily press conference to offer additional explanation.

“What I understand is we had three million masks that were stopped by U.S. officials coming out of 3M in South Dakota,” Ford said.

I'll wait until someone not Ford backs up the same thing.

It wasn't 3 million masks, it was 3M masks.

Martin Shkreli, currently serving a seven-year sentence for securities fraud, has a pitch to authorities: Let me out of prison and I’ll help stop the novel coronavirus.

The disgraced biotech entrepreneur is asking for a “brief” three-month furlough from his federal penitentiary in Allenwood, Penn., to spend time researching potential treatments for Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.

“As a successful two-time biopharma entrepreneur, having purchased multiple companies, invented multiple new drug candidates, filed numerous INDs and clinical trial applications, I am one of the few executives experienced in ALL aspects of drug development from molecule creation and hypothesis generation,” Shkreli wrote in a scientific paper posted online this week.

The rest of the paper, co-authored by two of Shkreli’s business partners and another two individuals described as “citizen scientists,”

My father and his wife confirmed to have contracted it, she's in the hospital currently. They were having people over to their house while this was all going on, they continued to go to the Elks. I told them their swinging lifestyle needs to be of the plastic variety, but nooooo. They believed it wasn't real, they thought it was all fake to try and destroy our country per Rush Limbaugh.

There's a small issue with that graph... The Y axis is biased, going from 200 to 500, 500 to 1000 and so on, which artificially reduces the gap between curves.

This journalist for France Inter (the main public radio station), Slate and Paris-Match apparently never saw a log scale before and forgot his high school lessons.

The short of it : French Minister of Health, interviewed on TV today, said that out of all the clinical trials run in French hospital, no molecule / medication is -at this stage- having a statistically significant effect. Including Hydroxychloroquin. I don't think any of said trials have concluded, so that's not the definitive conclusions.

French institutions debating how to transition out of lockdown. Academy of Medecine stated they favoured a staggered exit region by region, starting with the least hit and when conditions allow it, and not by age class. The lukewarm point they also make is that quick antiviral testing on a mass scale is not guaranteed to happen soon enough to use it as a basis to free people up or not.

Certainly isn't a typical flu year. What I am still curious about though is how much of it is down to there being no vaccine or herd immunity, and how much of it is it down to the seriousness of the virus. Because in comparison to the flu, it might be a little worse, or a lot worse. It might be simply more infectious in general. We don't quite know what it is at the moment.

Lets say hypothetically speaking millions of people in a relatively short period of time contracted the flu. You would actually see the hospitals overrun in a very similar way. I'm not saying that is the case with Covid. It is the case though that it is highly infectious and there is no vaccine or herd immunity to slow the spread. And to what extent is that responsible for the outcomes we're seeing.
