    Has there been any updates on treatments? See lots of stories about vaccine development. Very few stories on drugs/treatments/techniques. Did convalescent plasma treatments ever go anywhere?

    The main advancements in treatment have been (1) prevent clots (2) hold off on ventilators unless dire. These have been very important. They illustrate why the strategy of flattening the curve was smart. It gave us time to improve treatment. Convalescent plasma treatment is still in its infancy due to the relatively small resources available... but it’s promising. (This is my perspective, and it might be inaccurate).

    There's been a similar theme here too. I guess there is a SC law that it's illegal to cover your face, so people are asking how people are getting around the law to wear a mask.

    The need to clear up the facemask/concealed carry legality ASAP. The fact of the matter is republicans are a large majority of the facemask skeptics and concealed carry permit holders. That group will use an excuse not to do something.

    that was being shared by Floridians when facemasks were recommended and used as a reason not to wear one because “they are taking my guns.”

    People are just being difficult assholes. Wearing a mask during a pandemic is an emergency exception in regards to CCW. Police aren’t going to arrest you for having a gun concealed on you, they are going to fine you for not having a mask on.

    I get that but governors unfortunately need to put out a public statement that says that. You don’t need these idiots passing this info around on the internet and making this situation worse by decreasing mask wearing compliance.

    Sounds like they were excluding people from getting the medicine based on underlying conditions and then using them as the control group in the study.

    I still haven’t heard anyone ask Desantis, abbot, Arizona governor president anyone on the coronavirus task force about the wait times to get tested/get results and what we are doing to fix that. I heard Desantis discuss test pooling yesterday but that’s not solving the problem right now. I’d also like someone to ask pence, birx or that dumbass admiral girour what was done in the last 4 months to get us the 25 million tests a month we were promised in May? We still aren’t even close to that.

    Can you point me to where in the paper it shows that? Looked but didn’t see it. I would have hoped patients that were contraindicated for HCQ were excluded from the retrospective analysis.

    The data overall looks very good. Odd that AZ would be detrimental to HCQ efficacy though. I think, still, hard to make conclusions with retrospective studies. Needs a randomized, placebo controlled study.

    Doesn’t explicitly say it. They may have excluded them altogether, but it says patients were monitored for heart conditions then not given HCQ.

    I was talking/arguing with a guy from a Bham suburb how said life was completely back to normal, no one is worried about Covid, and they were out going to little league baseball games.

    It's fucking absurd, I'm like bruh you realize Alabama is setting daily records and it's spreading bc of your actions. You're the reason we will not have football, right??

    They are oblivious and claim it is over blown.

    One interesting thing I noticed looking at Table 1 is that a far lower percentage of the “Neither Med” group was treated than HCQ alone with the steroids they mentioned.

    They still don’t really clarify if they’re including people that they screened out for heart conditions.

    Also, I think that subset where they matched 190 exactly with comorbidities of people in each group is a good sign.

    Airlines are expected to add 3300 flights this month in and out of Tampa international airport. Tampa is in the midst of a major outbreak with positivity rates at or above 15%. This virus will continue to get worse until there is a vaccine. Unreal lack of leadership.

    Almost all the major metropolitan areas listed there are over the 14.8% that is statewide so I wonder if they are running too many tests in rural areas and not enough in major populations centers. Yes they are running more in Orlando, Tampa, broward and Miami-dade but all of those are well above the 14.8% that we had statewide yesterday.

    Yes I was focused on he subset analysis you are referring to.
    I also saw the imbalance in steroids which is why the subgroup analysis was relevant.

    I recall seeing an interview with the head of a local hospital a few week ago where she specifically mentioned the use of convalescent plasma, and implied that was an effective treatment. That was a bit of a surprise, as I hadn't heard anybody mention its use. Might help explain the county's low fatality rate

    Several clinical trials are ongoing and vaccines are being benchmarked to convalescent plasma neutralizing antibodies. Recent data shows vaccines exceeding by 1.5-2.5x

    Prepare to be totally surprised per the 2015 code of laws citing it from 1952:

    2015 South Carolina Code of Laws
    Title 16 - Crimes and Offenses
    CHAPTER 7 - OFFENSES AGAINST THE PEACE
    Section 16-7-110. Wearing masks and the like.

    Universal Citation: SC Code § 16-7-110 (2015)

    • No person over sixteen years of age shall appear or enter upon any lane, walk, alley, street, road, public way or highway of this State or upon the public property of the State or of any municipality or county in this State while wearing a mask or other device which conceals his identity.

    out of all the “discussion” at this roundtable and comments at the press conference there wasn’t one mention of the major testing shortage in Florida. 10+ days from trying to schedule a test to getting results in a lot of the state. Som say if it’s 7 days or more, testing becomes useless. You’re either better or in the hospital by that point.

    the state and federal government is just pretending like there isn’t a shortage and the local and national media isn’t doing nearly enough to shine a spotlight on it.

    and dumbass birx says “if you have been in a group in the last month, go get tested.” We don’t have enough tests for current demand. Telling more people to get a test isn’t the answer. Finding ways to test more instead of holding round tables and press conferences to say how great trump and Desantis are is probably a better use of time.
