#2 Could an old malaria drug
help fight the new coronavirus?--Chloroquine.

I've seen some articles on this in the last few days. Looks like the death rate for coronavirus is somewhere south of 4%.

Worldwide cases as of today (Bing.com): Confirmed 203,612, Fatal 8,229, Recovered 82,866. There are probably many mild cases that did not require medical attention and do not show up in these figures; (that's why the death rate might be somewhat less than 4%.).

#5 ^ this is the stupidest panic in modern history. Completely self-destructive.

One for the history books - and another chapter to add to Barbara Tuchman's The March of Folly, to be paired with a preceding account of the idiocy of making ourselves dependent upon and exporting our wealth and manufacturing prowess to Communist China.

#6 86% of coronavirus cases are asymtomatic.

If that result holds up, that's got to drive down the death rate to considerably less than 3.8-4.0% figures that have been reported.

#7 Completely self-destructive.

Depends on your definition of self.

If you are counting on the disease and the panic to invalidate PDJT then you could be quite pleased that the destruction will not include you.
