    FDA terminates emergency use authorization of hydroxychloroquine for Covid-19

    https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news...15-20-intl/h_38c75864285525451f1329d1dcbc0ab2

    "FDA has concluded that, based on this new information and other information discussed in the attached memorandum, it is no longer reasonable to believe that oral formulations of HCQ and CQ may be effective in treating COVID-19, nor is it reasonable to believe that the known and potential benefits of these products outweigh their known and potential risks," FDA chief scientist Denise Hinton wrote in a letter to Gary Disbrow of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) on Monday.

    That's like saying "If Trump stops talking and twitting now, there will be less reminders how absurd, irresponsible and incompetent our president is". It will not change the facts, but there will certainly be less reminders.

    I read, somewhere last week, that the US also has one the highest rates of serological testing vs total testing; and those kinds of test are much less reliable and as a whole, are much poorer at gauging current conditions

    Fears of a second lockdown grow as coronavirus infections surge in 17 mostly southern states, bringing record number of new cases and hospitalizations across parts of US
    • Several of states, mostly in the South, have seen an increase in new cases since Memorial Day as officials warn of a potential surge in new coronavirus infections
    • Alabama reported a record number of new cases for the fourth day in a row on Sunday
    • Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma and South Carolina all had record numbers of new cases in the past three days
    • In Louisiana, which had been one of the earlier virus hot spots, new cases were again on the rise with over 1,200 - the most there since May 21
    • In total, more than 115,000 Americans have now died of COVID-19 and two million have been infected
    • State health officials partly attribute the increase to gatherings over the Memorial Day holiday weekend
    • However others say the increase in cases is due to more robust testing
    • Many of the states that have seen increases in cases are also seeing record hospitalizations, which is perhaps more troubling for health officials

    When Trump boasted about how much testing has been done, a reporter said not true if you look at per capita. He said there are many per capitas. Showing he has no idea what per capita means.

    Well, it's a given each cat will need to be tested 9 times. Once for each life. Some might need less depending on how many lives that cat has already used
