Love this. So true. Should be posted on every social media account. I see people still being idiots out there even more so now with less traffic. Slow down. Car accidents aren't taking a break because of Covid. If you wind up in a hospital and even survive a car accident congrats you could end up in a facility with an even better shot at getting Covid.

SC Positive cases doubling rate dropped to around every 4days March23 and has remained that pace since. The last 3 days including today...unless we’re missing data again...have shown a positive case doubling rate closer to every 5 days. Hopefully this continues and eventually drops further.
I sure hope that SC doctors will use hydroxychloroquine combined with zinc to treat seriously ill COVID-19. A LA doctor recently reported.
Quote:
“Every patient I’ve prescribed it to has been very, very ill and within 8-12 hours they were basically symptom free and so, clinically I am seeing a resolution that mirrors what we saw in the French study and some of the other studies worldwide,” Cardillo continued. “But what I am seeing is that people that are taking it alone, by itself, it’s not having efficacy.”
The FDA fast tracked the hydroxychloroquine drug a week or so ago for use with COVID-19. Doctors need to be aware of it. Some don't seem to want to use it. Yet if you watch the news, there is very little coverage on the effectiveness of HCQ, yet there are many small studies proving it works.
President Trump signed the "right-to-try" legislation into law recently. So if I go to the hospital with this, I somehow want the doctor to know that I want HCQ/Zinc if they feel that I'm not going to make it.
Just FYI: SC DHEC has added some additional data points this week:
-Added the above mentioned projections graph.
-Added “estimated” positive cases beside the confirmed ones on their cases by zip code page.
-Added age group, race & gender data of those that succumbed to the virus. Previously was only data for positive cases. (Updated every Wednesday around 4p.) https://www.scdhec.gov/infectious-di...-data-covid-19
The French infectious disease expert, Didier Raoult, who did the studies showing hydroxycloriquine to be effective against covid19 responds to a critic on Twitter who was touting a French study that comes to a similar conclusion as the Veterans Affairs study:
'The witchhunter @MicrobiomDigest is not attentive to details when she judges that a study is useful to her paranoiac fights!
Control group was treated with azithromycin. Nearly dying patients with lymphopenia were treated with hydroxychloroquine.
Fraudulent study. Fake news.'
It sounds like he is saying the patients were not given hydroxycloriquine until after the virus had replicated like crazy in their lungs. That approach would be similar to giving chemotherapy to a cancer patient too late. The reason it can work is it is able to enter infected cells and disrupt the virus's replication process.
Veterans Affairs’ Robert Wilkie on yesterday’s hydroxychloroquine study: "That’s an observational study. It’s not a clinical study ... We know the drug has been working on middle-age and younger veterans. And the gov of NY was just in the Oval Office yesterday asking for more"

I can't trust anyone that uses the term fake news unironically..
