To the conservatives: Recent polls show higher public approval ratings (on both sides) for Trump's handling of the virus problem. But does that indicate most of the public supports the stay-at-home orders and business closings by various states? It seems they support both.
Maybe I'm stretching it but don't really think so. It sounds like a reasonable implication to me. And if you support the business closings and stay-at-home then fine. Cool. We're both in agreement on those points.
Also, as I posted somewhere else, the study suggesting that combination would be useful was pretty weak, for a number of substantial reasons. At most, it's hypothesis generating to kickoff a more controlled study.

"It's shown very encouraging -- very, very encouraging early results. And we're going to be able to make that drug available almost immediately. And that's where the FDA has been so great. They -- they've gone through the approval process; it's been approved. And they did it -- they took it down from many, many months to immediate. So we're going to be able to make that drug available by prescription or states," Trump said.
He added: "Normally the FDA would take a long time to approve something like that, and it's -- it was approved very, very quickly and it's now approved, by prescription."

Italy? At this rate you will pass China by Thursday.Will we pass Italy by Thursday?
Will we pass Italy by Thursday?
Feel free to wipe you ass with this since we are out of toilet paper
41.5k confirmed cases in US, a jump of ~7k in less than a day.
Is trump still being a selfish cvnt about this? Wait, that's a silly question, he NEVER wasn't a selfish cvnt.
italy is bending the curve:
I find these current totals fascinating
China Population: 1.38B Cases reported: 81,000 deaths: 3270
Italy Population: 60.5M Cases reported: 59,138 deaths: 5476
US Population 320M Cases reported: 40,850 deaths: 481
Based on population and the fact China got it first why are Italy's numbers so bad?
I did see an article Italy has numerous sweatshops making designer clothing and accessories with Chinese workers.
Side note things are going to be pretty bad in England for the same reason - weak leadership slow to respond.
The Italian birthrate is crap. There is a higher ratio of seniors. Not a complete picture but a data point. Being that seniors don't have as high of a survival rate.Italy numbers are bad because of social behavior and inability to isolate. China was slow to recognize the problem but once they understood what happened as a defacto dictatorship with strong leadership they were able to quickly lock things down to limit the worse damage to one city.
-
Italy - ignore the warnings and once they realize it was a real problem they were still slow to enforce social distancing.
-
Last but least i trust Italy data to be more accurate than China.
