What is the date after which anyone getting on a cruise deserves not to be rescued? After the publicity about the Princess Cruise ship berthed off Japan, how could ANYONE be so stupid? Any cruise line which boarded a ship after that date is going to have major liabilities to both governments that paid for the care and to passengers, who will claim they were unaware of the danger.
How much you want to bet Miami will be sued for not closing the beach during Spring Break and New Orleans for holding Mardi Gras. The plaintiffs will go for class action status, perhaps including patients who had only secondary exposure to travelers. Even insurance companies might bring claims because they will suffer massive losses. Reinsurance funds will get badly hammered.
It may take an act of Congress like after the 9-11 attack.
Infectious disease expert Stephen Smith predicted Wednesday night that an anti-malaria drug is ushering in the “beginning of the end” of the coronavirus pandemic.
Researchers have found that hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a drug normally used to treat malaria, is also effective in treating the virus. A recent trial conducted at Renmin Hospital at Wuhan University from Feb. 4 until Feb. 28. treated 31 patients with a five-day regimen of 400 milligrams of HCQ.

Smith told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that none of the people who have been treated with the drug have had to be intubated, or put on a ventilator.
“The chance of that occurring by chance according to my sons who did some stats for me are .000 something,” Smith said. “We worry about selection bias in the situation, but I cannot think of a reason why, if all else is equal, why people that have received five days or more — even four days or more of this hydroxychloroquine regimen wouldn’t get intubated.”
Smith called the drug a “game-changer,” and said it could put an end to this current crisis.

We have the Theodore Roosevelt case, but seas and oceans are crossed by warships of any nation (all with cramped quarters and commodities sharing). What about them? Is someone testing the crews?

As a COVID-19 survivor who is currently recovering, I believe it is important to share my story publicly so others have hope.
.
.

On March 18th, I had a sudden onset of severe respiratory and cardiac issues. I immediately went to the hospital and they did a COVID-19 test. Despite my test being marked as a priority, I did not receive the test results until the evening of March 22nd. While waiting for the test results in the hospital, my breathing continued to worsen as treatment was received. Without having the COVID-19 test results, the wonderful and hard-working doctors basically have their hands tied as certain medications (i.e. steroids, etc.) can potentially make COVID-19 worse. On the morning of March 21st, I was not doing well and it was a major struggle to breathe. Feeling like I was slowly drowning, I honestly believed I would not live to see midnight. The x-ray that morning also showed my condition was worsening, including some collapsing in the lungs. Luckily, the infectious disease physicians decided to try a non-approved, experimental combination (Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin). This is the same treatment President Donald Trump recently mentioned at a press conference and continues to be attacked for. After my first dose, I had a major improvement. My gasping for air stopped, and I was in tears of happiness due to having hope restored. I finally felt I would beat COVID-19 and it was no longer beating me. On March 22nd, I remained about the same. However, March 23rd brought a significant improvement. I continued to recover and was miraculously able to go home on March 24th to continue the treatment.

Good find, I found it YouTube and was looking for a print version.
; Julia ChildThe Marseille Study
The European Union Clinical Trials Register shows that the Marseille study was accepted on 5th March by the National Medicines Safety Agency (ANSM). It could include up to 25 COVID-19 positive patients, comprising five aged 12–17 years, 10 aged 18–64 years, and 10 more aged 65 years or over.
While the data have not yet been published, and should therefore be interpreted with caution, this non-randomised, unblinded study showed a strong reduction in viral load with hydroxychloroquine.
After 6 days, the percentage of patients testing positive for COVID-19 who received hydroxychloroquine fell to 25% versus 90% for those who did not receive the treatment (a group of untreated COVID-19 patients from Nice and Avignon).
In addition, comparing untreated patients, those receiving hydroxychloroquine and those given hydroxychloroquine plus the antibiotic azithromycin, the results showed there was "a spectacular reduction in the number of positive cases" with the combination therapy, said Prof Raoult.

If done correctly that info will not be available.

As I said to my daughter during a conversation last night, just imagine what is going to happen in this country when a law enforcement has to shoot a looter, carrying a gun, for breaking into a store and disobeying an order to stop.
The rioting will begin.
How long does it last in normal times? Long time.
The rioting has started in this thread. How long will it last? Long time.
Get your sh*t together, find your brain.
Too many dumbsh*ts in the world want to keep this crap ongoing.
Who wants to step up and say "I am the top dumbsh*t".
Too many, it seems.

Actually, the CAPTAIN leaked a letter from Acting Sec of the Navy to the media. [X(]
And he just ended his career by being sacked.
