tgafpc2··on 'Dramatic decline' in average age of Florida coronavirus patients
Since the beginning, Florida has been acting to protect the most vulnerable to serious complications. And it's working. It is widely understood that young healthy people are very low risk so those same young healthy people are using that information to get back to life with very little risk.
tgafpc2··on U.S. Stockpiled 63M Now-Useless Doses of Hydroxychloroquine
Not useless at all. Still given off label under the supervision of a doctor. Still studies going on. The big 'study' was retracted. Could still be part of several treatment plans.
tgafpc2··on Jira forcing users to give write access to GitHub and drive
Serious question, why does anyone still use Jira. It's a huge pita and everywhere people are essentially forced to use it, they hate it. It's become clear case of too many knobs.

tgafpc2··on NIH Clinical Trial Shows Remdesivir Accelerates Recovery from Advanced Covid-19

tgafpc2··on YouTube removed a viral video of two doctors calling for an end to quarantine
Listen to the medical experts! No, not those medical experts!
tgafpc2··on Anatomists of Melancholy in the Age of Coronavirus
"deadly despair that arises from the lack of a college degree" This is a joke right?
tgafpc2··on Chloroquine trial halted after 11 patients die on high dose
Arrhythmia is a well know complication and contraindication of Chloroquine. This should have been identified by the doctors prescribing it and NOT PRESCRIBED IT for at risk patients.
tgafpc2··on Study: No evidence of efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in hospitalized patients
"collected data to emulate a target trial" I take it this means it's not an actual clinical trial, just a virtual trial? What's the point? Of all the people that died, none were saved by the drug. Sounds like an insurance ad.
tgafpc2··on Google can use Bluetooth to track phones even with Bluetooth turned off (2018)
I'm starting to think...so what? The ads I see are either comically irrelevant or easily explained by the search terms or video I selected. This targeted claim is just to dupe their customers.

And? There's lots of dangerous drug combinations. That's why doctors ask you a bunch of questions.
tgafpc2··on Hydroxychloroquine Probably Isn’t the Answer
This site also has an article wistfully praising Remdesivir, a proprietary drug with far less evidence than HCQ. I think money might be talking here.
tgafpc2··on Show HN: A Covid-19 case and testing tracker by state
Yeah, even corrected for tests/capita, Cuomo/De Blasio have really botched the situation in New York.
tgafpc2··on USA tried to pay Germans so coronavirus cure vaccine would be exclusive to USA
110% they misunderstood the US Government offering them exclusive rights in the US market, not for the US market. The foundation of this article is so stupid, even CNN couldn't propose it with a straight face.
tgafpc2··on United hides cheapest flights from passengers affected by Coronavirus
"We here at Carry book a lot of travel." We'll apparently not. There's literally 100 reasons why this would happen in the normal course of business.
