OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Not sure how what Fauci said is something anyone denied was a real possibility. No one is saying we should be closed forever. We just can't rush back in and think things are fine.

 

IMO there are some things very wrong with that article but going there is not going to change opinions.

Bottom line, this is a worldwide pandemic. We need to be kinder and more helpful to each other. Yes, there are some people who are very isolated and scared. This is the time to reach out to your neighbors and family. You may not be able to hug them or physically comfort them but you can listen, you can reach out in person (while maintaining a safe distance.)

It doesn't have to be an either or situation, reducing the impact of the virus while reducing people's pain. We can maintain social distancing and comfort those who are feeling alone, scared, and isolated.

 

Huh?

RESULTS
A total of 1063 patients underwent randomization. The data and safety monitoring board recommended early unblinding of the results on the basis of findings from an analysis that showed shortened time to recovery in the remdesivir group. Preliminary results from the 1059 patients (538 assigned to remdesivir and 521 to placebo) with data available after randomization indicated that those who received remdesivir had a median recovery time of 11 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 9 to 12), as compared with 15 days (95% CI, 13 to 19) in those who received placebo (rate ratio for recovery, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.55; P<0.001). The Kaplan-Meier estimates of mortality by 14 days were 7.1% with remdesivir and 11.9% with placebo (hazard ratio for death, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.47 to 1.04). Serious adverse events were reported for 114 of the 541 patients in the remdesivir group who underwent randomization (21.1%) and 141 of the 522 patients in the placebo group who underwent randomization (27.0%).​

I think the problem with this thinking is, it's not necessarily about people listening to their story that is the issue.

 

If you don't listen to what the problems are you can't help find a solution.
