A shocking report suggesting that the coronavirus was “release[d from] the Wuhan Institute of Virology” in China is now circulating in U.S. military and intelligence circles and on Capitol Hill. But there’s a critical flaw in the report, a Daily Beast analysis reveals: Some of its most seemingly persuasive evidence is false—provably false.

Veterans Affairs says it intends to ‘preserve’ swastikas in US cemeteries

Written by Roger Sollenberger / Salon May 18, 2020

The Department of Veterans Affairs is taking heat from Congress after rejecting a civil rights group’s request to remove headstones engraved with Nazi iconography from the national cemetery at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas — as originally reported by Salon — opting instead to “continue to preserve” the markers.

‘It’s just cuckoo’: Brian Kemp apologizes after state Health Department chart wrongly shows downward trend in COVID-19 infections. 

Written by Alex Henderson May 1eorgia Gov. Brian Kemp has been widely criticized by health experts for prematurely reopening non-essential businesses in his state, and even President Donald Trump — who has been calling for states to ease coronavirus-related restrictions sooner rather than later — asserted that Kemp was moving too quickly. Now, more criticism is coming Kemp’s way over reports that the Georgia Department of Public Health’s website showed a decrease in new coronavirus infections in parts of the state where no such decreases were occurring.

Currently, one person is in hospital with the virus and no one is in intensive care . There are 26 active cases.

Yay, that one guy is out of ICU

No new cases again in Manitoba. 1 in hospital and 0 in ICU. Really great numbers. Also, this is interesting:

Trump is not forlorn because he just received word that he has been accepted in a very exclusive club..
He’s become a honorary member of the 3 stooges, and was named their new leader.

The 93,157 coronavirus deaths in the US are well over double the number in the second hardest-hit country (the UK with 35,341). The US is also 12th-worst in terms of deaths per one million people, behind countries like Iran and Brazil - Aaron Ruper

I can't figure out what his endgame with this drug is... far as I am aware there are generic versions out there so it's not like people are going to get rich selling it.... and he's potentially killing his supporters... is it purely to try and prove himself right and the scientists wrong? Cause if that's the case good lord what a small petty insecure man.

Discussing it on a different forum, and it's pretty much that he can't admit to being wrong so will continue to double down on his idiocy. Why he got on the topic in the first place is a question mark, but he's gone all in on this one. Just be glad he hasn't continued to suggest injecting disinfectants.

He's looking for a magic pill that will solve all his problems. He thinks he's smarter than everyone else and someone has convinced him this will work. 

 

It's not for financial gain (the drug) but for his ego. 

 

He's pathetic.

Hydroxychloroquine was overall chosen as the most effective therapy amongst COVID-19 treaters from a list of 15 options (37% of COVID-19 treaters)

It's science, go with what is working. The media doesn't know jack.

therapy not cure AND you are neglecting the scientists who said the risks associated with taking the drug did not outweigh potential benefits, ie. it is linked to heart problems. 

So yeah there might be some science that says it can help with the symptoms but there's also negatives associated with it and it isn't really recommended as a treatment, and it's certainly no kind of preventative measure.
