Chinese state media have raised the specter of using Beijing’s pharmaceutical leverage to block critical components and supplies for dependent U.S. drug companies and send America into “the hell of a novel coronavirus epidemic.”

While India and several European nations play critical roles in the global medical supply chain, China is among the top providers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) — the basic components for antibiotics and other prescription drugs consumed by Americans.

It's true, libbie.

There is no peer-reviewed clinical data showing that chloroquine works against COVID-19. https://www.businessinsider.com/malaria-pill-chloroquine-tested-as-coronavirus-treatment-2020-3

we don’t have time for peer review. there is a randomizes study of 36 patients from France. chloroquine Helped tremendously. chloroquine + antibiotic azytromicine cured every single patient but there were only 6 in that condition.

This is interesting:

Chloroquine isn’t approved to treat patients suffering from novel coronavirus infections, but some early studies have shown promise.

In France, for instance, a professor conducted a small study of the malaria drug in 24 patients with novel coronavirus infections. Only 25% of those who received the medicine tested positive for the virus after 6 days, according to en24. Meanwhile, of those who didn't receive it, 90% tested positive after that timeframe. The French government now plans to run larger studies.

In a study published last month in Nature, authors wrote that “chloroquine is a cheap and a safe drug that has been used for more than 70 years and, therefore, it is potentially clinically applicable against the 2019-nCoV.”

All I'm saying is you should not get a bunch of lay people excited about a 'cure' when there is no data yet.

I’ve heard that the nursing schools in the US are doing the same thing.

Feeling very frustrated. Ex and i share joint physical custody of the kids. I am taking social distancing seriously and staying at home and only heading out if i need groceries. I go out for runs and bike rides but otherwise, stay at home and work during the day. My ex, otoh, is business as usual and if off doing appointments, running errands with the kids, etc. am I justified in being pissed off or NBD? FWIW, I have a young child at home (remarried).

And retired doctors and nurses can become active again without going through the whole registration/licensing process if they were in good standing when they retired

I read that it had been peer reviewed. Which is what perked my eyes up.

So in a disease where 98% of patients recover without treatment, 6 out of a group of 6 recovered?

Someone please do a TED talk about Fisher exact tests.
