  1. The answer is simple---Democrats and leftists need to prove that they know what is best for the masses--and have the need to control the masses---so he is exercising his opportunity, as many of the Deomocratic leaders are doing in the USA to take advantage of the situation. They are embracing the "let no crisis go to waste" to further their fear and hold on the population, thus letting them change the future of America to the new normal.
  2. Hydroxychloroquine Lancet study of 96,000 Covid patients ignores Zinc, wasn’t randomized, has 12% death rate A new study came out last night in the Lancet which is being used to call for the end of doctors using Choloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid patients without them being enrolled in a clinical trial. Some of the claims about “no chance of any benefit” seem a bit premature given the limits of this kind of study:Superficially, it looks large and comprehensive but there are three obvious problems with it – 1. It ignores zinc entirely. There is not even a mention of the essential mineral, despite Chloroquine being a well known zinc ionophone (something that pumps a mineral across a cell membrane) and intracellular zinc being identified as a useful anti-viral. 2. It’s not randomized. If doctors are prescribing these drugs to sicker patients or patients with a certain (unknown) genetic risk factor that selection bias (there we go again) could neutralize the entire result. We just don’t know. 3. These were sick people. The total mortality in this whole group was almost 12%. This trial tells us nothing about using these drugs as preventative measures in mild or moderate cases. It doesn’t tell us whether people had symptoms for a week before getting to hospital — and presumably if people saw a doctor early on, used HCQ and zinc, and then didn’t go to hospital at all (because they recovered) then they won’t be counted at all. So this trial successfully filters and removes the success stories (whatever they are) from early HCQ treatment. HCQ is meant to be used with Zinc, so it is surprising that the medical researchers did not even mention it. Or in this politicized new world of medicine, perhaps it isn’t? They obtained data from 671 hospitals in many countries and control for obvious factors, and a stack of co-morbidities and demographics. Two thirds of the patients are from the US. They only include patients that are diagnosed, and start one or the other chloroquine type drug within 48 hours of diagnosis (but that may be quite some time after they first got sick). The groups are split into HCQ, or CQ, paired with or without Azithromycin (Az). But both the antimalarial and the antibiotic are known to affect something called the QT interval. Obviously patients who have long QT’s or heart arrhythmia would be at higher risk. Docs would know. We note that HCQ is not a big money-spinner for large pharmaceutical companies, being an old cheap out-of-patent drug, and that some of these authors do work sometimes with Big Pharma: Prof Mandeep R Mehra, (MRM) Brigham and Women's Hospital Heart and Vascular Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA Sapan S Desai (SSD) Founder of Surgisphere Corporation, Chicago, IL, USA Frank Ruschitzka Affiliations University Heart Center, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland Amit N Patel (ANP) Affiliations Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, USAHCA Research Institute, Nashville, TN, USA Contributors--Initials of the persons in the study are shown below (see above for who they are) The study was conceived and designed by MRM and ANP. Acquisition of data and statistical analysis of the data were supervised and performed by SSD. MRM drafted the manuscript and all authors participated in critical revision of the manuscript for important intellectual content. MRM and ANP supervised the study. All authors approved the final manuscript and were responsible for the decision to submit for publication. Authors Declaration of interests MRM reports personal fees from Abbott, Medtronic, Janssen, Mesoblast, Portola, Bayer, Baim Institute for Clinical Research, NupulseCV, FineHeart, Leviticus, Roivant, and Triple Gene. SSD is the founder of Surgisphere Corporation. FR has been paid for time spent as a committee member for clinical trials, advisory boards, other forms of consulting, and lectures or presentations; these payments were made directly to the University of Zurich and no personal payments were received in relation to these trials or other activities. ANP declares no competing interests. Acknowledgments The development and maintenance of the Surgical Outcomes Collaborative database was funded by Surgisphere Corporation (Chicago, IL, USA) So there is a question about the accuracy of this study, in addition to the above commentary there is also this published by The Guardian: Read the article and you will see the discrepancies in the data reported in the study. And you can connect the dots .What is interesting to note is who funded the study, who collected data for the study, and the various financial links of those involved.

  3. Internet giants must stay unbiased to keep their biggest legal shield, senator proposes WWW.THEVERGE.COM "Tech companies get a sweetheart deal that no other industry enjoys," Sen. Josh Hawley said These media giants are not adhering to the deal to refrain from political bias--clearly twitter violated it when they fact checked the President with an opinion. And as far as electing him again in November 2020--that is the best thing to do because sadly the reality is that Joe Biden is losing his mental capacities.
  4. Mimi's guy seems to be having some sort of problem--or she is with him----
  5. OK-now Fiora's guy has got the tongue flicker going 😄
  6. Quite a contrast Fiora's guy gives a few licks, gets hard and plunges in. Mimi's guy risks choking and gives her plenty of oral-but doesn't seem ready yet to start fucking. Olivia and her bf---well nothing new--so they will watch the computer. 😏
  7. (he is licking her pussy) Yep--I hope she warned him 😏
  8. Chat continues May 28, 2020
  9. Bet you wouldn't mind if they used a coolcucumber 😏
  10. Why not?? That gives Malia a chance to shine on her own.
  11. Oh now I get it--you all are talking about the rock band the WHO and their lead singer Roger Daltrey WTF are they tying Hydroxychloroquine for anyway??? 😏 Which one has COVID??? 😏
  12. Obvious he was excited, not so sure about her cause she didn't pee on the floor 😏 Oops--sorry may have the wrong girl 😏
  13. Masha stuck that dildo up on the headboard of the bed---that is what I call banging the headboard 😏
  14. I think that was a question, not a comment, so you are safe 😄
  15. Can we expect that you extend that to all the threads??? 😏
  16. Sorry--yes she is. 😏
  17. I am so glad I am not the only one with short precise answers 😏
  18. That only is good for the people that are the beneficiaries---not for the one insured !!! 😏
  19. However, if you are 65 and you are not yet receiving Social Security, you pay for the Medicare premiums out of your own pocket.
  20. Of course not, but I do not know of anywhere that this is the case---If you own your home free and clear choosing not to buy homeowners insurance is your prerogative, but it is not if you have a mortgage--you are normally required to have insurance on the structures to cover the lienholder, but normally a person buys homeowner's insurance that covers also liability and contents and other losses. BTW--what does this have to do with the current conversation about medical insurance???
