I'll pass this info to save lives and end this virus breakout early. I've used chloroquine phosphate to kill viruses and I've read that it kills covid-10 viruses as well. Read the following links www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7068984/ and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroquine. {mod edit..} go to the Doctor and ask for a prescription, the best is hydroxychloroquine only available thru a doctor. Not sure why this drug isn't saving lives now. It should be. Pass the word around and let's end this now to get everyone back to normal, back to work and back to playing Hockey again. Who knew all the world had to do was come onto the jets forum to find the cure! I will not be passing this word around to anyone.

Rico I disagree POTUS is not talking potential, he's talking cure. I am sure his prodigious gut instincts are speaking to him. I cant imagine the position this puts Fauci in. But I agree this is not Jets Hockey talk but shilling an unproven medical intervention that will remove chloroquine, remdesivir and azithromycin from the hands of people that need it. Well yeah, he is talking cure but he also said "he has a good feeling about it", "what have we got to lose"...that is in effect a "potential cure" if we can put it that way. I thought he was pretty clear though that he does not know if it's actually a cure. He says the main reason he's pushing this is because these are already known drugs with known side effects (relatively safe)...which kind of makes sense on the surface. But what is still not known is what are the side effects if you use them to treat covid-19? So it all sounds kind of reckless at least - "unscientific" for sure!
I mean it all sounds silly coming from someone with no medical training (and neither do I so I would have to concede I probably know even less than POTUS does about these things.) And yeah Fauci is standing his ground pretty well but bad position to be put in, especially for a man of that stature in the field.
In any case, if it ever so happened that any of those drugs are either treatments to minimize the effects, or cures then I'm sure they'd be cranking up production to unbelievable levels to support the "market" for it. In the short term, I agree, not sure what the supply is but assuming not 10's of millions of doses. We would not want to be taking the dose from people whose condition needs these meds.

How anyone can believe anything that comes out of Potus mouth is crazy. he is the worst President in history, he lies about everything and no way he knows what these drugs do. I am sure he must have heard someone on Fox talking about it.

I am sure he must have heard someone on Fox talking about it. the things he says are ridiculous. however, the reason he is president and will continue on is the voters see the alternative as worse. see the democrats visceral hatred that is delaying the much needed aid package while the US people suffer badly in this crisis. until they get with the program and check their egos and reduce their hate level, which is causing these dead end ways to "catch" trump, he will continue to win. they need better direction and a much better leader to beat trump. In Canada we have our own nightmare with the drama teacher at the helm but the Conservatives put a leader in place that was useless when the liberals were so vulnerable after trudeau's many bungles. no more politics from me. by the way chloroquine may well help but good luck getting any.

Since everyone is giving there opinion on Covid-19, I believe maybe seeing these You Tube videos will help you understand medically where and what is the covid-19. Choroqune is also mentioned as treatment. . It's origin and way of entering the body .

So here's what happens when a non-physician, non-medical scientist endorses a product over the objections of his best experts on a disease he knows next to nothing about with a drug he knows nothing about. And there will be more to follow. That doesn't preclude doing the right studies in rigorous test circumstances and given the nature of this disease, done in an accelerated manner. Then advocate a drug's use when it's safe to do so. www.fox10phoenix.com/news/az-man-dead-after-taking-fish-tank-cleaner-to-prevent-coronavirus-infection

They are entering uncharted territory in the United States. I'm reading between the lines of Trump's tweets and press conferences. He seems to be implying "America has to go back to normal eventually." This could possibly mean that the Republicans have shifted gears and taken a "survival of the fittest" approach to tacking the virus- meaning whoever gets it...well we cannot disrupt our way of life, so the sick, elderly, etc be damned. Even on social media, I've noticed a small, but vocal minority of people saying that this virus may be beneficial for mankind, as it's natural selection. I completely disagree with this mentality, but it shows how far some will go to keep their way of life from collapsing.

And that is why the United States is going to likely be hit harder than Italy or China

Marcus Smart now has it along with 2 LA Lakers, 3 members of the Philadelphia 76ers though they don't say weather it's players or staff, and 1 member of the Denver Nuggets though they don't say if it's player of staff. That's now 14 people associated with the NBA Another Yankee minor leaguer has it along with a Cincinnati Reds staff member. New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton also has it. It will be interesting how the numbers play out. On the one hand you'd expect the players to mirror the general population around them....however much has been made of the ability of pro athletes and VIPs in getting access to testing that the GP can't get. So the pros might look like they are disproportionally affected. Just idle speculation as I have lots of it...time that is! I can't see the NBA or NHL being able to restart their season nor should they though the NBA seems hell bent on trying. There is talk of having the NBA finals in September now(without fans of course)! LOL They should give it up. There will be a major * for whoever wins in each sport with the delay/no fans. MLB lived after not having a winner after the 1994 strike.

I would imagine many won't be able to afford pro sports when it comes back.

Looking at the new Rams stadium in mikecubs other thread, it made me wonder, how long will it be before people will be comfortable sitting shoulder to shoulder with 80000 people...or in our case 15000 or 30000. On the other hand, there ought to be super high demand for TV sports of all kinds.

I would imagine many won't be able to afford pro sports when it comes back. I was thinking the same thing. It is going to take years to recover economically from this pandemic. Unemployment will be high, record number of businesses will close, and people will drop luxuries like pro sports tickets before anything else. We may see the salary cap plunge to $50 million. I know this is not what people want to hear, but I am honestly wondering if the Jets can survive in Winnipeg, if the economy is terrible for a prolonged period of time, considering we are a small market. I can imagine other teams having troubles like Las Vegas (tourism industry is in shambles), Edmonton and Calgary (oil and gas sector in crumbles), Ottawa (no loyalty to owner, and fans will have no problem staying away). Even in NYC, where the virus has hit the hardest on Earth, one wonder if the league can get through this keeping three clubs in the metro area. Florida may also be in jeopardy (tourism).

First one was for a laugh, by the third I was getting into it.

Prediction: Canada will develop a vaccine for COVID-19 by spring 2021. Not sure why, but my gut feeling is that a Canadian research team will develop a vaccine to end the pandemic, and it will become available Worldwide by this time next year. I could be wrong, but I think our nation is up to the challenge.
