[LegalInsurrection] As if we needed more proof of TDS in the mainstream media. NBC News decided to take a story about an elderly couple drinking fish tank cleaner and frame it to prove President Donald Trump is dangerous.
During a press conference, Trump spoke about studies that showed chloroquine (generic name hydroxychloroquine) treated coronavirus.
So this elderly couple in Arizona thought the additive chloroquine phosphate in fish tank cleaner was the same thing.
They proceeded to drink the fish tank cleaner.
The man died. The woman is in ICU.
Instead of using the story as a warning not to drink fish tank cleaner NBC News used it as a way to fault Trump.

"Oh my God. Don't take anything. Don't believe anything.
Don’t believe anything that the President says and his people because they don't know what they're talking about. And don't take anything--be so careful and call your doctor. This is a heart ache I'll never get over."
That tweet is causing an uproar among the Resistance, but we’ve already been informed that taking 2 grams of the medication could cause an overdose; it’s prescribed typically in tablets of 200 mg. Dr. Dena Grayson
Also, if you click through to the hospital's website and read the rest of the story, the couple wasn't even self-prescribing chloroquine tablets; they were ingesting an ingredient in aquarium cleaner:
A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate, an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks. Within thirty minutes of ingestion, the couple experienced immediate effects requiring admittance to a nearby Banner Health hospital.

Grayson has a Medical Degree (M.D.). In the early 2000s, she shifted her focus to medical research as a way of treating multiple patients by finding cures.
As I've said, I've been taking 400 mg of hydroxycloquine for 13 years with no side effects. That I remember, anyway.
IIRC, 600 mg was consider therapeutic in the early study. Not sure what the dose in fish tank cleaner is.
But the Dr. is a Trump-hating sensationalist, to be sure.

As I see it, the couple was effectively cured of covid-19 (whether they had it or not) along with anything else that ailed them. Also, a cleansing of the gene fish tank/pool/whatever.

I watched a marble race the other day which was absolutely fantastic. Great production, good play by play commentary, no commercials, good fun.
What I really enjoyed was the track layout, just brilliant, had an elevator/escalator to 'reset' the marbles each lap. Of course they came in at different times so the pacing kept right. I'll try to find it.
[Right Scoop] Rio Giardinieri, a 52-year-old Florida man who was infected with the coronavirus and had already said goodbye to his wife and kids, says the drug Trump has been recommending, hydroxychloroquine, saved his life and he’s now due to leave the hospital soon:
NY POST – Doctors at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in South Florida diagnosed him with the coronavirus and pneumonia and put him on oxygen in the ICU, he told the outlet.
After more than a week, doctors told him there was nothing more they could do and, on Friday evening, Giardinieri said goodbye to his wife and three children.
“I was at the point where I was barely able to speak and breathing was very challenging,” Giardinieri said. “I really thought my end was there.”
His situation was dire and there was no hope until someone sent him an article about hydroxychloroquine:
Then a friend sent him a recent article about hydroxychloroquine, a prescription drug that’s been used to treat malaria for decades and auto-immune diseases like lupus.
Giardinieri said he contacted an infectious disease doctor about the drug.
“He gave me all the reasons why I would probably not want to try it because there are no trials, there’s no testing, it was not something that was approved,” said Giardinieri.
“And I said, ‘Look, I don’t know if I’m going to make it until the morning,’ because at that point I really thought I was coming to the end because I couldn’t breathe anymore,” Giardinieri continued.
Giardinieri’s doctor agreed to give him the drug and his situation changed dramatically overnight:
“He agreed and authorized the use of it and 30 minutes later the nurse gave it to me.”
After about an hour on an IV with the medicine, Giardinieri said, it felt like his heart was beating out of his chest and, about two hours later, he had another episode where he couldn’t breathe.
He says he was given Benadryl and some other drugs and that when he woke up around 4:45 a.m., it was “like nothing ever happened.”
He’s since had no fever or pain and can breathe again. Giardinieri said doctors believe the episodes he experienced were not a reaction to the medicine but his body fighting off the virus.
Giardinieri, the vice president of a company that manufactures cooking equipment for high-end restaurants in Los Angeles, said he had three doses of the medicine Saturday and is hoping to be discharged from the hospital in five days.
“To me, there was no doubt in mind that I wouldn’t make it until morning,” said Giardinieri. “So to me, the drug saved my life.”
What an amazing story and a dramatic turn-around after on night on the drug. Just as Trump said, this man had nothing to lose because he was going to die anyway and now he lives again.
I’d like to think the article he was sent was the one we posted via the New York doctor last Friday, as it went viral on Friday and over the weekend. But regardless, I’m very happy this man has his life back thanks to hydroxychloroquine.
[Japan Times] The International Olympic Committee has decided to postpone the 2020 Tokyo Games because of the coronavirus pandemic, IOC member Dick Pound said on Monday, as a window slowly began to open that would allow the showcase to be staged next year.
Major sporting nations Australia and Canada had already withdrawn on Monday as organizers came under global pressure to postpone the event for the first time in its 124-year modern history.
“On the basis of the information the IOC has, postponement has been decided,” Pound said in newspaper USA Today. “The parameters going forward have not been determined, but the Games are not going to start on July 24, that much I know.”
Pound told Reuters that a one-year postponement looked like the best solution. This would mean the Games, which had been scheduled for July 24 to Aug. 9, are likely to be held in the summer of 2021.
Japan and the IOC have said calling off the games entirely is not an option. But finding a new date could be complicated as the summer 2021 calendar is already crowded, while 2022 will see the soccer World Cup and the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Increase in new virus cases drops in Italy for second straight day
[IsraelTimes] Italy’s day-to-day increases of new cases of COVID-19 drop considerably compared to figures from a day earlier. Health authorities have said it will need a few more days to see if a positive trend holds, including in northern Lombardy region, which is the nation’s worst stricken region.
According to data released today by Italy’s Civil Protection agency, new cases rose from a day earlier by 4,789 cases. That’s nearly 700 fewer new cases that were reported in the day’s previous day-to-day increases. Italy has been anxious to see daily new case loads drop as it health system struggles to keep up with the world’s largest outbreak after China.
Day-to-day increase in deaths also were fewer than the day before: 602 compared to 651 reported by authorities yesterday.
The latest numbers come nearly two weeks into a national lock-down in a desperate bid to contain Europe’s largest outbreak.

Bigelow Aerospace, the company founded more than two decades ago to develop commercial space habitats, laid off all its employees Monday in a move caused at least in part by the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/kf4rlwJzNdpic.twitter.com/P0vO9nqzu4

Those sources said that the company, based in North Las Vegas, Nevada, was halting operations because of what one person described as a “perfect storm of problems” that included the coronavirus pandemic. On March 20, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak signed an emergency directive ordering all “nonessential” businesses to close.
A company spokesperson confirmed March 23 that the company laid off all its employees because of the governor’s order, and that it faced “fines, penalties and threats of having our business license revoked” if it remained open.
Multiply this by a million.
Then apply the CDC's own data for su!c!de, including a base number of about 45,000 (CDC, 2018), and apply the CDC's findings that, during an extraordinary economic calamity such as the Great Depression, the su!c!de rate spikes - 22.8% from 1928 to 1932, per the CDC.
45,000 * 1.228 = ca. 10,000 additional death from su!c!de each year - an entirely predictable, highly likely outcome that's based on our own experience, empirical data and the CDC's own studies.
And then there are the thousands of other, entirely predictable deaths: from heart attacks, and slow su!c!de via addiction.
A pity that so few of our leaders are capable of considering the entire picture -- the President and Gov. Cuomo being two notable exceptions.
Per Dr. David Katz, founder and director of Yale's Prevention Research Center, this lockdown is a crude, hacksaw response that is backfiring and causing an even greater public health calamity. Dr. Katz recommends instead "a surgical approach" involving "a pivot right now from trying to protect all people to focusing on the most vulnerable remains entirely plausible. ... The path we are on may well lead to uncontained viral contagion and monumental collateral damage to our society and economy."

Some said the other day that more men probably died because men don't go to the doctor unless they are in bad shape. So that means the ones that weren't in that bad shape remain uncounted. Ten times seems low.
[Right Scoop] on Giuseppe Berardelli, Archpriest of Casnigo in northern Italy, died on March 15 or 16 in a hospital in Lovere from the coronavirus after giving up his respirator to someone else who needed it, via Araberara.it.
According to reports, Berardelli, who was 72 years old, didn’t know the person to whom he gave his respirator. They were reportedly younger than him.
A google translation of the a healthcare worker in Italy is quoted as saying "And I am deeply moved by the fact that the archpriest of Casnigo, Don Giuseppe Berardelli ‐ to whom the parish community had bought a respirator ‐ renounced his will to assign it to someone younger than him."
What a beautiful picture of exactly what Christ calls each us to do, caring for our neighbor, even unto death. It doesn’t get much more self less and loving than that. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15-13

[ KMXT ] “Anomaly” at Pacific Spaceport Complex launch rehearsal, no injuries as a result
The Pacific Spaceport Complex reported an “anomaly” on a launch pad during a rocket launch dress rehearsal on Monday. The anomaly did not result in any injuries, according to Alaska Aerospace CEO Mark Lester.
Reached shortly after the incident, Lester said “I can confirm we had an anomaly on the launch pad. We are executing our emergency checklist. We request everyone stay clear of the area to allow our crew to address the situation.”
No details have been released yet as far as what caused the anomaly or how it may affect the upcoming launch.
At 5 p.m. Lester said the emergency response had concluded. “The area is still hazardous and should be avoided. There will be personnel on site overnight to monitor,” he said.
California-based rocket startup Astra had scheduled its rocket “One of Three” to launch from the Narrow Cape spaceport as early as Tuesday of this week. Astra has not yet responded to a request for comment.
This is a developing story. KMXT will have more details as they become available.

[American Military News] The Marine Corps plan to undergo the most significant changes in the past 20 years to focus on the rising Chinese threat while shifting its focus away from the Middle East.
The plan over the next 10 years is to prepare the Marines for an island-to-island battle in the Western Pacific, General David Berger, the Marine Corps commandant, told the Wall Street Journal. In order to accomplish this, the Marines plan to get rid of all of its tanks and cut back on its aircraft. Berger added that in order to get a higher quality Marine Corps, it must also contract in size, reducing the total number from 189,000 to possibly 170,000.
"China, in terms of military capability, is the pacing threat," Berger said. "If we did nothing, we would be passed."
Berger’s plan establishes naval expeditionary units, teams of 50-100, who disperse to small islands in the South and East China Seas using sleek landing craft, Berger said. The Marines would target Chinese warships with anti-ship missiles. They would move islands every 24-72 hours to avoid counter-attacks, he added.
The effort is a part of a broader effort by the Pentagon to focus on what officials refer to as a great-power conflict between China, Russia, and the United States. Included in this effort is a $105 billion request for the research and development of new technologies to help prepare the U.S. military for a potential battle with either China or Russia. The research and development funding request is the largest in 70 years and is a part of the 2021 $705 billion budget request proposal.

Read about the last "heavy tank" in the US arsenal, the M103 (heavy tank), that also served in the Marines from 1956 to 1973 though never actually being used in combat.
[Spectator] At Thursday’s White House press briefing, President Trump and FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn announced that the FDA has approved the "compassionate use" of the antimalarial drug chloroquine to treat patients infected with Coronavirus 2019 ("COVID-19"). Under extreme or exigent circumstances, the FDA may permit physicians to medicate patients with experimental drugs. The term "compassionate use" ordinarily refers to dosing a patient with a drug that has not been approved by the FDA for any purpose.
Since the 1940s, however, chloroquine has been FDA-approved and safely used to treat and prevent malaria. It has also been used to treat HIV and autoimmune disease. Its side effects are well known and, generally speaking, nonexistent to mild. As such, chloroquine is not an experimental drug requiring FDA permission before it can be prescribed. Instead, even though the FDA has not given blanket approval for its use in COVID-19 cases, physicians have been and are free to prescribe it for "off-label" (i.e., non-FDA approved) use.
On March 13, 2020, James M. Todaro, M.D., and Gregory J. Rigano, Esq., working in consultation with researchers from the Stanford University Medical School, the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, and the National Academy of Sciences, presented a report titled "An Effective Treatment for Coronavirus (COVID-19)." Here's the report's explosive opening summary:
"Recent guidelines from South Korea and China report that chloroquine is an effective antiviral therapeutic treatment against Coronavirus Disease 2019. Use of chloroquine (tablets) is showing favorable outcomes in humans infected with Coronavirus including faster time to recovery and shorter hospital stay. US CDC research shows that chloroquine also has strong potential as a prophylactic (preventative) measure against coronavirus in the lab, while we wait for a vaccine to be developed. Chloroquine is an inexpensive, globally available drug that has been in widespread human use since 1945 against malaria, autoimmune and various other conditions. (Emphasis added.)"
The report states that neither the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) nor the World Health Organization has published "treatment measures against COVID-19" and that United States medical centers are "starting to have issues with traditional [treatment] protocols." Since China and South Korea have had "significantly more exposure and time to analyze diagnostic, treatment and preventative options," the United States and the rest of the world can "learn from their experience."
The report states that the COVID-19 "treatment guidelines" developed by South Korea and China are "generally consistent, outlining chloroquine as an effective treatment." For example, data from the clinical trials in China show that "patients treated with chloroquine demonstrated a better drop in fever, improvement of lung CT images, and required a shorter time to recover compared to parallel groups" and that chloroquine has "so far shown no obvious serious adverse reactions in more than 100 participants in the trials… Chloroquine was selected after several screening rounds of thousands of existing drugs" and "is undergoing further trials in more than ten hospitals" throughout China.

That doctor, Dr Fauci, had an interview with science magazine in which he was not all that positive about working with Trump. Mostly it was complaints of style but I imagine Trump didn't like it.
Despite that Trump made a point of saying in yesterdays briefing that the info of that day wasn't Dr Fauci specialty and the doctor will be back when they are discussing stuff he specializes in.
We will see. Glad to see Trump was right in this case because if we have a cocktail that cures people, that's a game changer.
