Who will have it 1st? My guess is Japan or the USA. Any one know if this virus is killing more races then others? Also is it killing more men or women? I pray for this to stop soon.

The Cure will be found in November on Election Day !!! I’m not saying it’s not bad but so is flu — pneumonia and many other illnesses. And am sorry for anyone’s loss. I just have a suspicion this has been politically driven fueled by the media. Just my 2 cents.

The only thing I've heard is about Italy, the biggest cesspool. More men are going down, BUT there are extenuating circumstances. Age, heavy smoking, diabetes, etc. People already on a short fuse.

China will have it first.

UPMC doctors in Pa. say they’ve developed a coronavirus vaccine


Government official: Coronavirus vaccine trial starts Monday


As the First Coronavirus Vaccine Human Trials Begin, Manufacturer Is Already Preparing to Scale Production to Millions


When will a coronavirus vaccine be ready?

Whether it’s the USA or another country, the development time and distribution of a Covid 19 vaccine will not save us now at this very minute.

The Malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine has proven to help some of those to recover from dying and those just identified infected while getting through the Covid 19 virus.

Depending if and when you get put on a ventilator with Covid 19, your chances of surviving are less than 50%.

Trump needs to force the drug companies located here NOW to start producing Hydroxychloroquine in massive amounts to help save lives in the USA. This is a low cost, low profit drug and is needed now.

I heard the Governor of Oklahoma several weeks ago, started securing Hydroxychloroquine from around the world with the intent to have a supply to help his state.

Not trying to throw cold water on the hydroxychloroquine idea but perhaps a look at the side effects might be a good idea. Maybe they have a "cure" for all the problems/issues it can create.

Save the darts, just adding some information.

^^^^^^^^^^^ Read the entire Hydroxychloroquine link from the CDC.

Me 68. Side effects from Hydroxychloroquine or possibly dead. Easy choice.

Bob - just like an Advil bottle or any other over the counter / prescription med. Read the small print and it will scare you to death also.

Even before the FDA granted provisional approval this week, South Florida doctors started turning to an anti-malaria drug to treat the sickest coronavirus patients.

“There are a lot of unknowns with this new virus, but we are taking our best guess for going after it,” Lacknauth said. “We don’t want to give hydroxychloroquine to every patient. We have to be careful who we are initiating it with."

With no known cure available for COVID-19 and the death toll rising, many South Florida doctors said they view the drug combination as the best option for people in respiratory distress who might not otherwise recover. Miami Shores resident Rio Giardinieri has told multiple media outlets that he almost died of COVID-19 but recovered after doctors gave him the drug regimen.

We are still probably months away from a vaccine and if treatment helps some, why not?

Canted Valve, Italy a cesspool. WTF is that supposed to mean. The Italian government may suck but to refer to Italy as a cesspool is like saying that the only thing to come from Oklahoma are steers & queers. Which are you?

Did I hit a nerve? Steers & queers would be plural (thingS) by the way. I based my comment on the sheer numbers of virus cases/deaths. It's not my fault they joined the EU and abdicated their boarder control. Thus virtually inviting a epidemic in their country. Nor is it surprising sanctuary cities, with their tent cities, like NY and LA are eat up with sickness. Elections have consequences and so does the decisions made by those elected officials. Take a chill pill, you'll feel better.

The first case in our county here was from Vacaville. The hospital sent her to UC Davis and one week (??) later they figured out it was C19. She was pretty bad at that point and they made the decision to treat her with the Malaria drugs. She is now at home recuperating.

An NHRA Racing Family was on TV last night as a Father, Wife and son had all passed from C19! God Speed to all of them.

I'm at risk like so many others and I am not taking it lightly. Am I scared? NO! am I panicking? NO! But I am taking precautions.
If you are going to pass... Side affects mean nothing.
I Hope what Beard posted is true about a vaccine!

Ok back to the Race car!

Canted, yep you hit a nerve. BTW, I took the chill pill. However for you refer to Italy as a cesspool is short sighted and capricious. I have followed many of your post have, found them insightful, well thought out and cogent. Being of Italian decent it often very frustrating to listen to the name calling, dumbazz stereo types, etc. Also, most all my relatives in Italy hate the damn government and their communist leanings.

I'm going to steal a great line from one of the frequent contributors on DRR, (not me) many of us are "up on the chip" over this virus. Take a moment and chill out. Raising your temperature is counterproductive it fixes nothing, we'll all get through this. As hard as it may seem try to maintain a positive attitude.

Stay safe

I apologize if I disrespected you. It was not intended to judge the people, but rather the government and their policies and handling of matters. "Italy" was simply the physical boundaries of the hyper infection rate.

Good news, Cuomo affirms what we’ve been hearing from Trump about hydroxychloroquine, that it is indeed yielding positive results in NY hospitals.

Anecdotally speaking, of course....

Let's say a CORONAVIRUS VACCINE becomes available and it is mandatory for everyone to get.

Anybody have a problem with that?

Because that is where I see it going next.Politicians know what is best for everyone don't they?

From what I understand, you have to meet a certain criteria, in order to qualify for the vaccine.

I do said the little red hen! NOT to turn this into an abortion debate, but we've all heard "my body, my choice". No one but no one has the right to tell another person they must put something in their body. We aren't owned by the government, like cattle vaccination, we are suppose to be free individuals. Since I'm making quotes isn't there something about your body being your temple? Not to turn this in to a religious debate either.
