This hydroxychloroquine looks to be very promising.
Just switched from JD/Coke to Gin and Tonic. The pharmacology of quinine used back in the colonial days was that it prevented malaria. They later found out that quinine has a high PH (alkaline) which deterred the replication.
Malaria is a parasite and corona is a virus, but quinine does seem to minimize the replication. Maybe that is why some people have milder symptoms.
I'll probably counteract the base by using the acid of a few limes. Scored two rolls of paper towels when I went to Kroger to buy some tonic water.

I haven't avoided it at all. It will take many years of data and understanding before we can figure that out. As the economic fallout from all of this will need to be calculated in, including those that die because of this decision moving forward.
It is interesting that our governor just came out today and said that despite 31 cases from a church in Cartersville, he is still not going to force a statewide shutdown of business. We will see where that goes, but again, it's all about data in the long run. Some of you people acting like 100M Americans have it already. Others acting like we didn't start acting after the 1st, 16th, 51st person in America got this thing. Every single virus that comes about in this world cannot force a 10 week shutdown of everything.

WGAS? One has nothing to do with the other.

God almighty,why is it always a gotcha with you guys?

I thought their investments were supposed to be in blind trusts. More proof Washington is an cesspool.

Thank you Nu...
Was trying to decide what I wanted to drink this evening. G&T sounds great. Got Beefeaters and diet tonic here, headed next door to borrow a lime.

Insider trading is generally frowned upon. Check out the STOCK act.

So essentially nothing. No matter what happens, you are gonna never agree with these interventions:
If too many die, then it was inevitable, so we should have just done nothing.
If too few tie, then we clearly did too much.

He was taking the advice of his broker as was I,WGAS?

I would have done the exact same thing. In fact, I'd have dumped more than the third he did.
However, I would have also told people that we weren't preparing or prepared enough for the scope of the problem that is coming. I would have also told them to prepare for the worst.
This isn't an left/right thing. I'm not for false equivalence, but in this case both sides really do same thing. Republicans absolutely sold a rosy picture they know was BS, but I didn't hear alarms about the economy from most mainstream democrats - especially those for whom such calls could have come with political (or donor) repercussions. There's a reason why congress is packed with millionaires on both sides of the isle, and there's a reason no administration has passed rules to prevent them from trading on inside information.
Yeah Trump shite the bed - every objective critique will come to that conclusion. However everything from Biden was about Trump, not about the precautions people need to be taking to safeguard themselves and their families. Neither he nor Pelosi or Schumer called for Florida to postpone the primaries while proceeding was to their advantage. It's the difference between trying to gain political advantage and actual leadership, which is conspicuously and sorely absent right now in American politics.

Just a coincidence, right? Stop defending the deplorable and take it up with the bill......
The STOCK Act is an original bill to prohibit members of Congress and employees of Congress from using private information derived from their official positions for personal benefit.

So which SPECIFIC stocks did he have inside information on and how was he able to manipulate the market with it?

Due to the private info derived from his official position, he knew the market was about to crash.

Complete horseshite.Anybody who knows what the "market" will do one day to the next or even predict a "crash" is completely full of shite as with anyone who could predict the course of this virus.

You are losing this battle, and so will he. He knew of info that the public wasnt privy to and used it to his advantage.

The more glaring coincidence is that Feb 12 the market was at an all time high, literally record high, so he put in some sell orders the next day to take some profits. Buy low, sell high, etc. But don't let that ruin your conspiracy theory.
Also, what percent of his assets did he dump? What other orders had he put in over the last year or two? Was there a pattern? Was he slowly getting out of stocks due to age, as what is recommended by financial advisors? Was he selling a million a month for the last six months?
All of this context is very necessary to judge the man.

I will be honest, it does look fishy. He was claiming two weeks prior that everything was great, but told members of his exclusive club, that this would be easily transmissible, schools and businesses would close, and it would be like the Spanish Flu....then sold.
Not other records previous of him strictly selling (all previous reports have him selling and buying on the same day). He sold 1/3 of his wealth. Most stocks were int the hospitality/hotel business. He was one of 3 people that voted against the STOCK.
Again, could be more coincidence, but circumstantial evidence says it should probably be looked into a bit more
ETA: Burr going on Tucker tomorrow night.....
