Quote:First, in a small study involving 30 patients, hydroxychloroquine, used on top of conventional treatments, cleared the virus in 13 (86.7%) cases on day 7, while 14 (93.3%) patients in the control group had the virus cleared, according to a study abstract Raffat obtained. One patient on the malaria med progressed to severe during the treatment.
The median duration from hospitalization to virus-negative testing, as well as the median time to body temperature normalization, were also similar between the two arms. The only positive signal was disease progression shown on CT scans, which five hydroxychloroquine cases showed, versus seven in the control group. But Raffat said the trial size was simply too small to draw conclusions.
On the other hand...

Quote:Clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia are underway in China (NCT04261517 and NCT04307693). We are reviewing the results from China as they emerge. The first study (NCT04261517) has showed positive preliminary outcomes (albeit not conclusive because of the small sample size) in terms of clinical management, with published data expected soon.
I look forward to seeing some of these results.

What Army Cavalry officer competed in an event that has been discountinued and finished fifth? No Mick peekee.
I like the way that New Zealand is handling their response to COVID-19. They have defined levels that the entire country is put under with warnings for when they're going into the next level. The entire country will be in lock-down for 4 weeks. More restrictive than our Stay at Home but with essential services maintained. No restaurant take out. Have to cook at home.
Think it'll give time for unknown cases of COVID-19 to develop, isolate, and recover or those with more severe cases hospitalized and isolated. Then they can continue testing and tracing for any new cases that appear. Meanwhile, nobody gets into the country from the outside.

Anybody know if there is a timeframe for a decision? Is there another signing period coming up, or is this going to be one of those backdoor, sign a financial aid agreement deals? With White's departure we have a scholarship open, right?
If he comes, and he is what we think he is, then is this the starting five?:
1. Terry
2. Davis
3. Williams/Jones?
4. Jones/Delaire?
5. DaSilva
Where is Bryce Wills?
If you can't get tested and want to know what you should do based on your symptoms:

According to this Asian news site, China has reinfection rates of 14%
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/...s-who-test
Number may be smaller as some who test positive again might have never fully cleared the virus in the first place.
Still, 10% reinfection would likely still throw a of immense proportions wrench in the herd immunity strategy, right?
This NYT opinion article proposes an alternative, more targeted response to the virus crisis. It has three primary elements/benefits: (i) greater focus of resources on those most at risk (the elderly), (ii) reduced co-habitation of multi-generational families, which inadvertently increases contagion, and (iii) dramatically less negative impact on the economy by enabling more people to work normally. This strategy seems superior than our current, broad shelter-in-place strategy, which may flatten the economy more than the curve.
