80% of people who contract it have mild cold symptoms. Sheeple.

Probably more than that, given the prevalence of asymptomatic transmission

Asymptomatic transmission seems to be driving the spread, so a LOT of people are going to get it

It'll be bad until the feds approve the existing therapeutic drugs that will knock this shit out and turn it into a bad flu season, no need to wait for a vaccine

Two months tops

Elaborate?

Turns out that the protease inhibitor cocktail for HIV shows promise, and Actemra looks like it can prevent the cytokine storm that affects some severe cases. Gilead's Remdesivir is an experimental antiviral that's been getting some use in China. But the most promising are off the shelf antimalarials developed decades ago, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. Cheap, generic, and readily available, they've shown in multiple studies done by the Chinese, French, and Australians that they're effective therapeutically against severe cases and might actually be effective as a preventive. Ramp up production, and give it out like candy when people show up with symptoms and test positive. Very limited side effects, so there's really no reason not to

Heard Dr. Drew (the love doctor) mention those two just a minute ago https://adamcarolla.com/will-sasso/

Agree, pass that shit out, let's get back to work.

While they're cheap and generic, existing stores could be exhausted rather quickly. Chloroquine isn't stockpiled because it's pretty much only been used as an antimalarial, and who needs that anymore since we're not fighting the Japs in New Guinea, but hydroxychloroquine is commonly used to combat rheumatoid arthritis. But put the pharmas on notice to start making this stuff RIGHT NOW. From what I've seen a several-day regimen of hydroxychloroquine costs about $10. Multiply that by 330 million and you've got a $3.3B national bailout which is couch cushion change compared to the numbers we're hearing out of DC. Even if it only knocks out half of the cases it will have been worth it

BRB, buying 6 cases before the run starts.

We started our latest project last night

What a great time to roam the freeways of Southern California

Was at the grocery store this morning. Panic has come to Temecula. Had settle for T bones and a NY strip. No rib steaks. Society has broken down

One of the weirdest experiences I've had was during the curfew they imposed because of the LA riots. Freeways looked like the Omega Man, the cool one with Charles Heston not the remake. Made it all the way from Westwood to Malibu in 15 to 20 mins.

Chuck boning the black chick was cinema history.
