Trump is going big on it. His experts are saying limited success in a limited number of cases. He even stopped one of them answering a question about it the other night in his live briefing saying he’d already answered it and the reporter said that he wanted to ask the expert and Trump stopped it. This is the same Trump who was making a point of shaking hands while saying that this is the latest Democrats hoax. Still, what harm ever came from shaking hands in the middle of a pandemic.

Trump has a stake in the company that makes the drug, that should tell you all you need to know.

Whats this 'Hydroxychloroquine' like in terms of being used to fight the disease? Seems USA are going big on it.... India have now lifted the ban on exporting it

One of many drugs being mass tested for potency against Covid. I’d reiterate though that anti viral drugs currently being developed are the best shot at an effective treatment in the shortest time but that’s not to say there definitely isn’t one already out there.

Just don’t get your hopes up

tbf you've been jumped on a bit recently, so I don't *particularly* want to add to that ;) but I think it comes down to a spot of critical thinking, as opposed to just blindly accepting what people tell you... and challenging what they tell you. You might after that still decide they're right, but you would at least come across a bit less like a spokesman for Righties R Us.

Anyway, the last bit kind of broke my own rule; this isn't necessarily about left v right, it's very different to normality so, in the interests of sanity, I'll leave you to it. Hell, I even liked one of your posts the other day ;)

I think thats why had the epic meltdown- defending the indefensible for such a prolonged period would send anyone a bit nuts.

An epic meltdown that attracted more separate postive likes than any of your ill informed and anti democratic tripe and 2 PMs of support one of which specifically mentioned you as a reason they can’t be bothered to post on the forum until this is over

I’m glad you’re getting the support you need at this time.

I think when you go back and look at some of what you wrote you’ll be a bit embarrassed. That’s not me having a go, but a bit like PVA you go so far into a position you can’t retreat from it

David even at my most agitated I am more rational and considered than you when you are at your calmest. You attempt the insult game but actually are pretty poor at it

I made 10 posts between 8.25 at the announcement point and 9.37 - which I’m particular are you referring to?

Also you’ve clearly spent a bit of time counting likes and noting posting timeframes. Just give it a break for a few days!

That's the one Trump keeps telling people to take isn't it. Normally swiftly followed by his scientific advisors saying not to. In news that will shock nobody seems he stands to benefit personally.
Trump revealed to have financial interests in malaria medication he keeps pushing as coronavirus cure

You ignored at least three links to the footage of Boris saying in person he shook hands with Coronavirus sufferers while linking the wrong interview as proof that it’s fake news before disappearing in a huff. How is that either rational or considered?

No idea. It properly kicked off on our conference call though.

People that carried holiday over or brought some are being told 'no refunds' essentially, and they have to use it in the next two months.

So everyone is prisoner at home and when it lifts have a six month period where they can only take 2 weeks off. Less than actually.

Again, it isn't a major problem if you get some perspective on the grand scheme of things. But it has still pissed me right off.

Seems to be a few companies using it as an excuse to do whatever they like and ignore normal HR procedures. We've been told no holiday will be allowed once we're back and this years raining allowance will be split between the next two years.
