Masks work.

Not for protecting you, for protecting others from you, if you happen to be infected and don't know it.

Just wearing masks and stopping large gatherings of people might be enough to lower the R value below 1.0.

Trump is discouraging mask wearing (other than White House staff, of course, to protect Trump). He is killing his followers.

Trump is killing his followers another way. By promoting a drug that does nothing.

Kim said she had believed she would not contract the virus because Trump touted the drug as effective, even though most medical experts urged caution.

I really fear for our nation, and not because of the virus or even Trump. He'll be gone one day. It's people like "Kim" that worry me most.

"Kim said she had believed she would not contract the virus because Trump touted the drug as effective, even though most medical experts urged caution."

that quote from Kim is not really an actual quote. It is the author saying it. The things he actually has here quoted as saying are the opposite. I think some of this may be the journalist trying to be a sensationalist. I'm really saddened that I now distrust all media and look so closely at everything because the media on both sides is always trying to sensationalize things. It may be true that she said that, but then why not actually quote what she said? I think it is because it does not sell magazines or generate clicks to give an honest account of her story. Seems to me she came forward to show that HCQ does not provide immunity, and they are making her out to be some dummy who believed she was immune to it by taking the drug, like the POTUS.

Nope to both.

https://www.wisn.com/article/woman-with-lupus-took-hydroxychloroquine-for-19-years-still-got-covid-19/32605139 might be where the original story came from. (I'd originally looked at https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/05/20/how-can-i-be-sick-woman-who-took-hydroxychloroquine-for-19-years-to-treat-lupus-still-got-covid-19/ which points to WISN.)

"When they gave the diagnosis, I felt like it was a death sentence. I was like, 'I'm going to die,'" Kim said. "I'm like, 'How can I be sick? How? I'm on the hydroxychloroquine.' They were like, 'Well, nobody ever said that was the cure or that was going to keep you safe' and it definitely did not."

Kim said even though she took precautions when leaving the house for the grocery store, she thought she would be safe because of what President Donald Trump has said about the drug.
...
"You're not safe taking that medication at all. (Hydroxychloroquine) is not going to prevent anything. You can still get coronavirus," Kim said. "It kind of makes me mad that (Trump) thinks it's going to do that and is telling the whole world it's going to do that."
The WISN page also has a video. She says the bolded part at around 0:45 into the video. The "It kind of makes me mad..." part is at around 1:26.

I was quoting the story. I'll add an attribution to make it clear. But I don't share your skepticism. The assertion is completely consistent with what she WAS quoted as saying, wondering how she could possibly have Covid19 while taking the drug. Her later quote that it wasn't a preventative was her realization after having had the disease. Unless you think the reporter made up those direct quotes, it's hard to see any devious spin there.

I'm always hearing how great everything is in Sweden, looks like they got it right again

https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/496155-the-us-should-follow-swedens-approach-to-combating-covid-19
Haven't read the article yet but this is the first time I've heard of a claim that Sweden's been handling this well from a health and safety POV.

It's been pointed out that Sweden has more COVID-19 deaths than nearby Norway, Finland and Denmark. You can see they are way worse in COVID-19 deaths per 1 million at https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ than those countries, if you sort by that. Right now on that metric it's:
Sweden 291
Denmark 87
Finland 45
Norway 40

For kicks, here are those numbers for some of its other nearby countries:
Estonia 41
Latvia 9
Lithuania 18
Poland 19
Germany 86

Since South Korea and Taiwan were mentioned, those numbers are 5 and 0.3. Singapore was doing well, until it wasn't recently. They're at 3.
Sweden is still nowhere near 'herd immunity,' even though it didn't go into lockdown
https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/21/health/sweden-herd-immunity-coronavirus-intl/index.html

Just 7.3% of Stockholm had Covid-19 antibodies by end of April, study shows
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/21/just-7-per-cent-of-stockholm-had-covid-19-antibodies-by-end-of-april-study-sweden-coronavirus

So current COVID-19 deaths per 1 million for the above countries per https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ are now these:
Sweden 384
Denmark 97
Finland 55
Norway 43

Estonia 48
Latvia 12
Lithuania 22
Poland 26
Germany 99
 
Notice who is not wearing a mask, and who is. The high ranking officials are in front, Xi in the center.

Masks protect other people. Little people in China and in the White House wear masks. Xi and Trump don't.

If you're a registered Democrat you should take steps immediately with your doctor to have an advance directive added to your medical record that under no circumstances should you be administered hydroxychloroquine, sort of like a DNR.

"The evidence was anecdotal!" would make a nice inscription on your tombstone.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)31180-6/fulltext

We were unable to confirm a benefit of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine, when used alone or with a macrolide, on in-hospital outcomes for COVID-19. Each of these drug regimens was associated with decreased in-hospital survival and an increased frequency of ventricular arrhythmias when used for treatment of COVID-19.

Got that red stuff off your hands yet? Yet another way Trump and his followers have killed people.

Try repentance and prayer.
 
We can only hope that the stable genius keeps taking it. If the pandemic is a hoax why is he taking anything?
These idiots are getting the government they voted for.
 
Are people not going to take the trumpvirus vaccine since it's named after him and promoted by him?
Because that would be great.
 
I'm looking forward to some trump vs biden debates.

It's trumpvirus vaccine.
You took a check from him next you are getting your shot of trump juice.

That money was a HUGE mistake. It only took attention away from the massive money grab for corporations.

Took a check from him? The last I checked the money came from Congress. Pull your head out of your ass!

So if it came only feom congress then why hasn't there been a 2nd and 3rd check?
 
Because Congress does not move that fast. They move about as fast as General Bonespurs did when he had a chance to get in front of this. But he is responsible for the deaths of thousands and you like him. We know there is something wrong with him. Now we know there is something wrong with you.
Legislation takes time, but both parties came together (what a concept) and got much needed money to the average person. Too bad so much went to huge corporations.

The bottom line analysis from the Korean CDC demonstrating that those testing positive for SARSCoV2 after recovering from covid WERE NOT infected or contagious. The positive hit on the subsequent PCR test was dead virus and could not replicate in viral cell culture.
