According to the Johns Hopkins site, we're up to 756 cases in the US. Still not *that* bad. But we need the testing kits to work their way into circulation.

At least the President has stopped claiming that the number of cases would be zero by Feb 28, and he's stopped telling people they could go to work if they have Covid-19. The less he says, the better.

Right. Much worse. But then it all popped back fairly quickly. There was no serious and pervasive underlying worries like 2008 or today.

There was a recession, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it was made out to be, especially in certain parts of the e

I lived in Charlotte NC at the time.

It weathered the recession rather well.

To the point that many people there didn't even notice it at all until well into Obama's presidency.

Did Bush 2 force bail outs down the throats of companies that didn't want them?

Did he force banks to make high interest, high risk loans?

Probably wise, Italy is a global hot spot for the virus, and they've already had 463 deaths.

Good post AADAD. Thanks for posting it. It's to combat the virus, for those that already have it.

Clinical trials ongoing in the USA and China.

While the trials are in-progress, the drug can be used by patients (even if they aren't part of the trial), although there is a risk since it's not fully gone through all the trials and not yet deemed fully safe. They call this Compassionate Use:

(pasted from link above)

Gilead is working with government and non-government organizations and regulatory authorities to provide remdesivir to patients with COVID-19 for emergency treatment in the absence of any approved treatment options. Compassionate use requests must be submitted by a patient’s treating physician. Gilead is currently assessing requests on an individual basis and require, at a minimum, that the patient be hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 infection with significant clinical manifestations.

..individual compassionate use cases are not sufficient to determine the safety and efficacy of remdesivir in treating COVID-19 – this can only be determined through prospective clinical trials.

Tell me a politician that doesn't lie.

Did you condone Obama's lies?

That's what happens when tribalism makes the agenda more important than the man.
