Did you know Lambo's are extremely uncomfortable (kinda like my car)? My friend's Porsche isn't that comfortable. They're sports cars, they aren't known for comfort. They're built to handle well on road courses, not necessarily wide open on long straightaways. You want to drive a Cadillac or something like that.

Who said anything about being comfortable? Hitler had the Autobahn built for one reason.

Just keep in mind Lefty's used to the ClownCarComfort factor;)
 
studies (trials) show chloroquinine isn't all that effective by itself..

Plaquenil and ZPAK are what works

If it even has a hope of efficacy there’s no reason not to.

It’s going to be an ‘FDA trial on the run’.

Here in WV our case numbers are climbing slowly [went from 117-124 over the weekend] but we have our first death [88 year old]. There’s reason for optimism here because our actual infection number was apparently still pretty low when the shutdown started so there is reason to expect our peak will stay low with respect to some other regions.

Back to work later today. Took some time off since there’s basically nothing for me to do since they cancelled all elective surgeries. We run 12 OR’s under normal circumstances so there’s way too many people standing/sitting waiting around if there are no elective surgeries, so yeah.

It should probably occur to someone that it makes no sense to practice social distancing only to go to work and hang out with a bunch of people who may be high risk.

Wow. It's not like you to quote from Politico very often. They explain why this move is troublesome:

"Hydroxychloroquine, which is already available commercially in the United States, is commonly used to treat malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. The drug also has been touted as a therapy for coronavirus by an unusual assortment of investors, TV correspondents and even some advisers to the White House — including some advocates who overstated their claims and credentials — and been championed by guests on Fox News.

However, a growing number of lupus and arthritis patients have complained that they've been unable to full their prescriptions amid ongoing shortages, and reports have emerged that some physicians are hoarding the drug for themselves. Federal officials also have privately complained that Trump's focus on anti-malaria drugs has distracted from efforts to investigate more promising therapies, and several scientists immediately panned the announcement.

"I would like to see who at FDA's [Medical Countermeasures Initiative] signed off on this EUA despite the total lack of scientific evidence that chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine are beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19," tweeted Luciana Borio, who served as FDA's acting chief scientist between 2015 and 2017. "EUA is supposed to be issued when the evidence indicates that benefits outweigh the risks.""

I bet Fauci would like to know also.
