I saw a few people talking about how 'they've found the solution to covid-19' tonight (in the in-game chat on a Rust server... where I get all my news). turns out they're talking about Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin - it was mentioned here when it was first reported (the French study from earlier this month that treated 26 patients with positive outcomes), just about made it in to mainstream media, then as the combo Trump was pushing with his "I have a hunch... We've ordered millions" spiel a few days ago... now all of a sudden without any further clinical trials it's the 'solution' and folks in Nigeria are being admitted to hospital for poisoning because they're preemptively popping it. Fucking wild.

Anyway, the original (so small it's statistically insignificant) trail halved treatment times, which I guess doesn't mean they died quicker... and as it seems the entire reason we're on lockdown is to prevent the overloading of the healthcare systems. This could be the graph with multiple plots and a big horizontal red line we've been waiting for...
More trials are happening globally ATM but it got me thinking about how my fellow gaymers received that news. Donald Tump may force through a massive trial (or many), and if it works (or sees a reduction of deaths) you just know by the time it gets rolled out all over the world in a few of months it's gonna be known as the
'Trump treatment' or some shit like that.- Any suggestions? There's got to be a better one than 'Trump treatment'! No prizes for winner, but you get sick in your mouth just for participating.kingsteven
- He was trying to poach scientists from Germany to make the vaccine exclusively for the US, no doubt he would have slapped his name on it.mg33
