A possible COVID-19 treatment

Other companies also are working on treatments. The timeline for developing the drug is long, which is why people hope some company can 'take something off the shelf to treat it.

Don Surber  "Gilead Sciences, a biotech company, developed Remdesivir to treat Ebolae and the Marburg virus infection. It had some success against MERS and SARS. The company hopes this can work against COVID-19.
"Josh Bloom at the American Council on Science and Health reviewed it and said keep your fingers crossed.
"He wrote, "Remdesivir is a fairly potent inhibitor of corona virus replication with no obvious toxicity. It may or may not work as a pill but this is irrelevant at this time since it will probably be given IV. In another study in rhesus monkeys, data indicated that a significant concentration of the drug will be found in the blood and that an adequate quantity of the drug should be delivered to the sites where it is needed.
""Given the properties of Remdesivir as well as the desperate need for a corona virus therapy, I would estimate that the drug has at least a 50% chance of becoming the first drug to treat the virus."
"Repurposing drugs is not uncommon. Viagra was not developed for the purpose what now is its most common use.
"Andrew Joseph at STAT News explained how it works." . . .

Suffering during this coronavirus mess?

Once someone was said to be asked what is an applicable saying that is good in all things, good or bad, on every occasion?
The answer:
"This too shall pass."

You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down

And you can't keep draggin' that dead weight around

If there ain't all that much to lug around

Better run like hell when you hit the ground

When the morning comes

When the morning comes

You can't stop these kids from dancin'

Why would you want to?

Especially when you're already gettin' yours

'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend

Well don't go blamin' the kids again

When the morning comes
When the morning comes . . .

CNN Caught ‘Maliciously and Intentionally’ Lying to America About Trump Coronavirus Comments

The Mental Recession  "For a full 7-minute segment hosted by CNN’s Ana Cabrera this past weekend, CNN repeatedly featured a total lie on screen, pushing the repeatedly debunked false claim that President Trump called the coronavirus a “hoax.”

"This is a shocking, inexcusable, deliberate effort by CNN to mislead Americans and spread misinformation about President Trump’s efforts to combat the coronavirus." . . .

"At least 6 entities have debunked the false claim CNN is still spreading:

• The Washington Post: “The full quote shows Trump is criticizing Democratic talking points and the media’s coverage of his administration’s response to coronavirus. He never says that the virus itself is a hoax[.]” (03/13/2020)
• FactCheck.org: “Trump said that when he used the word ‘hoax,’ he was referring to Democrats finding fault with his administration’s response to coronavirus, not the virus itself. Even after Trump explained his remarks, some Democrats … continued to wrongly accuse Trump of describing the coronavirus as a ‘hoax.'” (03/03/2020)
• CBS News’ Scott Pelley: “[Trump] said that the Democrats making so much of it is a Democratic hoax, not that the virus was a hoax.” (03/01/2020)
• Snopes: “Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.” (03/02/2020)
• Slate’s Will Saletan: “He was saying the hoax is that he’s handled it badly. Not the virus itself.” (02/28/2020)
• Check Your Fact: “He did not refer to the coronavirus itself as a hoax. … At no point in the rally does Trump directly call the novel coronavirus outbreak a ‘hoax’ or ‘conspiracy.’ In fact, he refers to the respiratory virus as a ‘public health threat’ and reiterates ‘we have to take it very, very seriously. That’s what we’re doing. We are preparing for the worst.'” (02/29/2020)

"What CNN did is not sloppiness or poor journalism – it is intentional malice and deception, and simply more evidence that the “news” channel is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party." . . .

I am coronaed out

Tony Branco

Lloyd Marcus "After watching “Family Feud,” Mary and I usually flip to Tucker Carlson on Fox News, followed by Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham. For the past few days, we have not tuned into Fox.
"Folks, I have had my fill of corona-mania. Also, I am sick of people accusing me of being irresponsible and insensitive for not surrendering to the absurd Democrat and fake news media narrative that says Trump is handling the virus wrong and we're all going to die.
"Mary is a member of a keto diet Facebook group. Someone posted, “Does anyone have a recipe how to make toilet paper with cauliflower?” We both laughed out loud.
"Two guys are running for sheriff in our small town. One candidate hosted a meet-and-greet which Mary and I attended. The other guy canceled his meet-and-greet because of the coronavirus. We're voting for the candidate we met at his meet-and-greet.

"Incredibly, events in our town which usually only draw a handful of people are canceling because of corona. I tip my hat to the pastor of a local church who did not cancel his annual Wild Game Feast. Folks, you have not lived until you have eaten deer sausage and deer bologna.
"According to the CDC during the 2018-2019 flu season, an estimated 16.5 million people got sick and 34,000 died in the U.S. No businesses closed or events were canceled. Under 100, mostly elderly, people have died from corona and everything is closing, devastating our economy.
"I realize everyone has to do whatever they deem necessary to protect themselves and their family. All I am saying is I ain't playin'. I am coronaed out.
"Amid corona-madness, President Trump declared this past Sunday a National Day of Prayer. His Deplorable Choir sings, “Praise the Lord.' ” 

This Viral Coronavirus Rant From a Tennessee Nurse Will Make Your Day (VIDEO)
. . . Emily Annette made the video after going to the grocery store and encountering a hysterical woman who was yelling at a grocery store clerk who just happened to touch his own face while he was ringing up groceries.
"The fraudstream media has caused mass hysteria over the Coronavirus and Americans are panic buying and fighting each other for rolls of toilet paper and hand sanitizer.
"Americans are being bombarded with orders to wash their hands frequently and to avoid touching their faces.
"People have lost their minds and this woman’s rant was just the perfect comic relief we needed during this stressful time.
“ 'Ya’ll, there are so many stupid people in this world,” she said referring to low IQ people freaking out over the Coronavirus." . . . Make sure to watch the video until the end!

Dr. Ronny Jackson says Trump prevented American coronavirus pandemic on level of Italy, Iran

"...The president stopped it quickly and it’s going to save countless American lives."  — Dr. Ronny Jackson

Fox News  "Former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson praised President Trump Monday night after he announced a list of guidelines that he and the White House coronavirus task force hoped will slow the spread of the pandemic within 15 days.
" 'The president has done everything he needed to do in this case," Jackson told "Hannity". "He’s acted quickly and decisively. He did what he always has done ... he went with his instincts."
" 'He put together a top-notch team and he was criticized.... despite that, he carried on and did what he needed to do for our country. He put the [China] travel ban in place," he added.
"Jackson said he does not expect the virus to spread at the rate that it has in places like Italy and Iran due to the president's "quick and decisive actions," notably his decision to restrict travel into the U.S. from China in late January.
"  'What’s going on in Italy and Iran is not going to happen here I think, because of the president's quick and decisive actions. I think we are going to be more in line with what’s going on in South Korea and things of that nature," Jackson said." . . .

"I saw Reince Priebus on a Fox show recently and he said since PDJT came to office, he had been meeting with pharmaceuticals, medical, manufacturing - don't know all the groups but he was making contacts. When this virus thing happened, he got in touch with those people and the result is the private-government solution to getting things done much quicker than if it was only the government.

Putin, Xi, and the mullahs favor Biden over Trump   Well, duh... As do TV talk shows, Hollywood actors, Professors, Democrat members of Congress, purple-haired women soccer players and, well, anyone wanting "death to America!".

‘Never Biden’ Movement Growing Among Bernie Supporters  “ 'We will never – NEVER boost or support Joe Biden or defend his abysmal record and terrible policy positions' ”

In the 2016 election, a significant number of Bernie Sanders supporters either stayed home, voted for Jill Stein, or even voted for Trump. They didn’t like Hillary Clinton, and they felt betrayed by the Democratic party.  Something similar is already taking shape in the 2020 election.

Will Bernie push Biden even further left? [Answer: Oh yes indeedy]

Biden's pledge to impose a threshold requirement for the race and gender of the next nominee is troubling. Such an absolute requirement would be unconstitutional if used for the admission to a public college. Yet it would be used for admission to the Court that created that rule. Jonathan Turley

 Biden would make America dependent on foreign oil again  "He would also be bowing
down to OPEC like Obama did." . . . "Unfortunately, both Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders want to turn the clock back to the days of higher emissions and greater dependency on foreign oil. That is the certain practical result of the policies that both men outlined in their Sunday debate." .  .  .

Let's Talk About Joe Biden's Terrible, Economy-Destroying Ideas 
"During Sunday night's debate with Sen. Bernie Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden promised to wreck the American energy industry. That would wreck the American economy. The Houston Chronicle reports:" . . .
. . . "The hard, cold fact is both of the remaining Democratic presidential candidates have said enough. They would: Keep the borders wide open in a time of global pandemic, crush American energy production, tax the you-know-what out of job creators, and thereby destroy what's left of our economy." . . .

Biden Goes Extreme: Give Oil Industry ‘No Ability’ To ‘Continue To Drill’, Take ‘Millions’ Of Cars Off The Road

Daily Wire  "Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden made extreme remarks during CNN’s presidential debate on Sunday night, suggesting that he would end the oil industry’s ability to drill, would ban new fracking projects, and would take millions of cars off the road.

“ 'No more subsidies for fossil fuel industry, no more drilling on federal lands, no more drilling including offshore, no ability for the oil industry to continue to drill,” Biden said. “Period. Ends.”

“No new fracking and, by the way, on the Recovery Act, I was able to make sure we invested $90 billion in making sure we brought down the price of solar and wind that is lower than the price of coal, that’s why not another new coal plant will be built,” Biden continued." . . .

Biden . . . Supports Taxpayer Funding of Abortion  . . . "The former vice president also reaffirmed that, if as president he gets to appoint a Supreme Court justice, he will appoint the first black woman. And he confirmed that he no longer opposes the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding of abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is endangered.

“ 'If I’m elected president my cabinet, my administration, will look like the country,” Biden said. “And I commit that I will in fact appoint a – I’d pick a woman to be vice president. There are a number of women who are qualified to be president tomorrow. I would pick a woman to be my vice president.' ”

Mainstream Media Reporters Spread Trump Quote Missing Vital Context About Wuhan Virus Response

Townhall

[NY] "Times reporter Julie Bosman defended sharing the quote out of context "because the second part of the quote repeats the first part, twice."

"Reporters from mainstream media outlets pushed a quote without providing vital context to how the federal government is helping the states while posting a New York Times story about President Trump's teleconference meeting with state governors and how they can respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, commonly known as the Wuhan virus or Chinese coronavirus.
"The issue was how one quote made it seem like Trump was telling state governors to fend for themselves to get respirators and ventilators for severe cases of COVID-19. Many of the reporters left out the second half of Trump's quote, where he stated, "We will be backing you, but try getting it yourselves. Point of sales, much better, much more direct if you can get it yourself."
"Trump's point was that if state governors can get respirators and ventilators themselves more quickly than going through the federal government, then they should do so. However, the federal government will be assisting in providing medical equipment.

"The controversy over half of the quote was asked during the White House's press briefing on Monday." . . .

Hat tip to Val Brose; Santa Maria, CA

"UPDATE! Just returned from 15 days on the border, from San Diego, Calif to Brownsville, TX. I droned and filmed all 23 new wall construction sites along the way. 50 hours of video taken onsite at over 80 locations. A huge undertaking. My video of entire Trump Wall will be published in one week on this channel. Watch for premier. The name of the video will be: "Trump Border Wall from Sea to shining Sea".

"During a trip to Arizona and New Mexico, I filmed the construction of new border wall being built east of Douglas, Arizona. An extremely impressive undertaking. This video hopes to remind viewers how incredibly innovative & productive our construction industry is. It reminded me of the Alaska Pipeline Project, in which I personally managed a small portion of. After the politics settle, our relationship with Mexico will dramatically improve, the environment will be just fine (as was the environment in Alaska post-project), the word "illegal" immigrant will be gone, and in its place increased & rejuvenating legal immigration:

"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Will the Coronavirus Defeat Trump’s Reelection?

You're talkin' to the next President kid!

Rachel Alexander  "Until the coronavirus outbreak, most conservatives were pretty confident President Donald Trump would get reelected. The economy was doing great, which is a good sign an incumbent president will win reelection. But the coronavirus may change things. We may end up in a recession. 
. . . 
"As a result, the extreme measures are hurting the economy and jobs. People are staying at home and avoiding travel and entertainment. Schools are shutting down. Retirees are losing their investments in stocks. Everyone has been affected to some extent. People panicking and overloading on supplies from grocery stores are making life difficult for others who can’t get the essentials like toilet paper. 
. . . "Trump didn’t cause the coronavirus. But he is being blamed for everything in regards to handling it. He’s done an excellent job despite the naysaying from Democrats and the mainstream media. He’s taking drastic action." . . .
. . . "Joe Biden attacked Trump’s handling of the crisis, then turned around and plagiarized Trump’s plan. This comes as no surprise, since Biden has a history of plagiarism. Tim Murtaugh, the communications director for the Trump campaign, said Biden raised the “vile conspiracy theory that the President purposely allowed the coronavirus to spread.” This is dishonest considering how aggressively Trump has moved to prevent that." . . .

Trump Sums Up Biden-Bernie Debate In One Tweet, Posts Brutal Biden Highlights

Daily Wire  "On Sunday, former Vice President Joe Biden and democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) faced off in their first one-on-one primary debate — a debate held with no audience in an attempt to curb the spread of coronavirus. While the rather surreal audience-less debate went over better than many of its more chaotic predecessors, and the left-leaning media celebrated it as “substantive,” the man that one of the two candidates on the stage Sunday will be going toe to toe with in November had a far different reaction.
"In a tweet Sunday night, Trump offered his summary of the CNN-hosted event followed by a series of retweets highlighting moments he wants to make sure his 74 million followers don’t miss.
"“I must say, that was a VERY boring debate,” Trump tweeted Sunday. “Biden lied when he said I want to cut Social Security and Medicare. That’s what they ALL said 4 years ago, and nothing happened, in fact, I saved Social Security and Medicare. I will not be cutting, but they will. Be careful! ' ” . . .

Biden and Sanders: Tweedledum and Tweedledee

imgbin.com

Patricia McCarthy  "At Pajamas Media, Stephen Green rightly titled his live blog on the debate, "Grumpy Old White Men: Drunkblogging the Democratic Diversity Debate.  But these two old codgers are beyond grumpy; they are both tethered to the already done or distant past.

"The first half-hour of this match was dedicated to the current crisis of the coronavirus.  They both puffed themselves up to tell us all what they would do; each and every suggestion from both of them was things President Trump has already done, already put in place.  It was as though neither of them has paid a bit of attention to how on top of this pandemic Trump has been while they were thoroughly absorbed by his attempted impeachment.  Biden bragged about the Obama administration's action on H1N1 in 2008–09 but didn't mention that it was disastrous.  Nothing was implemented in that case until a thousand Americans had died and 300,000 were hospitalized.  Neither Biden nor Sanders prescribed a single thing that has not already been achieved.  Both of them repeatedly mixed up past epidemics.  It was a thoroughly wasted first half-hour of the debate.  Not a word uttered by either candidate would comfort or likely win over a single new voter.

"Biden, when asked if bureaucratic red tape impeded testing at the outset, said no, but as Clarice Feldman explained, it absolutely did.  (Read the whole thing.)  Diagnostic testing is (was) so overregulated that the CDC had devolved into something resembling the DMV.  Trump has taken all this on with the alacrity of a man with long experience in business.  He brought together the CEOs of our biggest retail and medical organizations to help.  Neither Biden nor Sanders would have sought help from the big corporations they so loathe.  Both of them would have relied on our bloated, dysfunctional bureaucracy.  Trump, on the other hand, has brought these skilled businessmen on board, all of whom are problem-solvers, not bureaucrats or politicians. 

"Biden stupidly touts Obamacare, which has been a dismal failure.  Bernie rages on and on about the lack of doctors!  Why might that be?  Obama socialized our medical care enough to frighten older doctors from their chosen field and keep talented young people from embarking on a medical career." . . .  Full article
