Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

[Heppenheimer]

Being as I have limited to no medical knowledge, I gotta ask, how could an antidepressant possibly relieve covid symptoms? Random ingredient?

Here's the full review article (I still haven't learned how to link stuff from my phone):

Repurposed Antidepressant Shows Early Promise in COVID-19

The antidepressant fluvoxamine may help prevent serious respiratory problems when administered early in the course of COVID-19, results of a randomized, placebo-controlled trial show.

Just wondering, what is the context behind this? Is the senate still talking about hydrodroxychloroquine, for God knows what reason other than to placate the unending narcissism of a certain individual?

The government is sitting on a stockpile of the stuff and the orange guy owns stock in the company that makes it. As always follow the money

If that is the reason he's been touting hydroxychloroquine all this time (I assumed it was just his usual willful stupidity), then he is even more vile a human being than I would have thought possible. If nothing else, he keeps surprising me.

You have to let it go. There’s no value for people to continue to complain about whatever was said in March. It is a novel virus. New information comes out and we learn more as time goes on, recommendations are updated. This tired game of gotcha trying to prove that “the other side” was wrong has to end. We are ALL in this together whether we like it or not.

No gotcha. There are many reliable medical resources to quote. The WHO has dropped the ball too many times. If you reference something please use a source that is reliable and has solutions not a source that has been part of the problem. In this case globaly.

They are not telling you, it’s a recommendation. It’s like the recommendation of looking both ways before you cross the street. You are not under any order to do it, but it would be safer if you did.

They are in NY, though it looks like there's pushback on enforcement.

The Trump family has a a very small amount of stock in the company that makes hydroy hardly enough to make them rich get your facts straight.

The other reality is that in order to significantly reduce spread (more like delay spread) you must severely restrict freedom. Cuomo is basically blaming the spread on private gatherings. The only way to stop that is to restrict people's right to gather on private property. Even my Mom who votes opposite of me said without prompting that those kind of restrictions are government over reach.

If the general population all behaved like educated, responsible adults there would be no need for restrictions.

All the arguments are moot now. Joe has been installed as will be president, the US will be paying rejoining the WHO again, and As Joe said, China is not bad folks, so the US will be working for with China again.

Please tell me how they will enforce it? Go to every house? Can you see them sending out squads of officers to break up a 6 person gathering on thanksgiving day?
They are hoping people act responsibly. They are putting out information that many people will use to be safe. That’s all it is. I for one along with about 22 members of our family are going to do just that. I hope the zoom doesn’t go down!

You mean like the Walt Disney company?

Doesn’t matter if it’s a small amount of stock or a lot. He has a stake which gave him reason to push something we know is not effective. What other reason would he do it then? Uninformed? Stupid? I’m guessing it’s his stock. Could be the other two also..

You have to say Comcast too. However, the idea that China is not a threat to the US is 100% crazy. China is the biggest threat we face. Fortunately, if we play our cards right, India is actually going to be a bigger market in the long run and we won't need China that much.

Neither reason reflects particularly well on him. And don't forget the desire of a narcissist to never admit a mistake.

Oh them too.

My point is let’s not start with this unveiled racist crap.
Everyone loves “globalization” when the times are booming. It’s two faced to follow the nonsense this time.

Be best.

Ok how about this:

They are a family of two bit con artists and hucksters...and the walls are caving in.

Minor facts/details.

The article I saw doesn't say anything about enforcement. Going into someone's house won't happen. I suppose fines could happen, but probably not unless a very large party was involved. Clearly, there aren't enough police to monitor what every family does at Thanksgiving.

I'm kind of torn on whether an order is better than a recommendation in these circumstances. It is true that people would likely pay more attention if a directive was given the status of an order - laws work primarily because most people agree with the concept of an ordered society and believe laws ensure that.

But if too many see an order as governmental overreach, either because it is too intrusive or because there no way it can be enforced, it can cause more problems than it solves. People will turn their attention from doing what they can to prevent the virus to focusing on what they consider an oppressive law.

Totally agree, companies like The Walt Disney Company and Apple... The Walt Disney Company stopped being Walts Company after the unions came in and it started selling stock.

In the last almost four years, the US was trying force China trade fairly with the US, but that’s going away now. As a nation, the US will go back to the unfair trade agreements that benefit China.

Agree with your whole post. In fact if people just did what they thought was the best thing for their fellow man, with everything, not just Covid, we all would be in a better place. Wouldn’t be any need for recommendations because people would think.. maybe this isn’t safe.. maybe we should do it another way. But as we have seen in the past, doesn’t always work that way hence the recommendations and laws. We have the information now.. we have the science now.. we know what’s right from wrong but I guess that’s enough for some to think it’s over reaching.
