I really have no researched opinion on this. However, you
Next you are attempting to support your position on HCQ effectiveness from content piece from: "The study by researchers at the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul and Pusan National University Hospital in Busan was "not able to confirm the effectiveness" of the drug, according to the Yonhap news agency"
In this link there is no reference to any scientific method, data, etc, just a summary conclusión.
I try to get a well rounded picture of world affairs from a variety of sources, then make my own conclusions. I think this is common. I will await your recommendation on a news source.
May all beings be well.
Well, you talk about not politicizing your posts but you made clear that we shouldn't be getting data from Fox News. Prior, I asked you politely for a source you recommend. Still waiting for that.Wow. Apparently i have stirred up a hornet's nest by having the audacity to post something that contradicts a dogma of the far right. I am really making every possible attempt to keep these posts non-political, but some of you guys make that a real challenge. This should have nothing to do with politics or whether you consider yourself to be liberal or conservative. It should be about proven facts. When I ask you to provide a credible reference for what you are posting, you cannot offer a single one but instead tell me to go find them myself. You claim that the experts from all over the world who are conducting these studies simply don't have knowledge of the people on this forum to mix the right cocktail of drugs. I am sorry if the most recent studies contradict everything that you and others of your political persuasion have been pushing. But the fact of the matter is that I wish you were right. I really do. I wish that hydroxychloroquine was proving to be effective against Covid-19. That would be fantastic. We all had our hopes up for a while. But unfortunately HCQ has repeatedly been proven to have at best no impact on outcomes, and at worse to have a detrimental impact on outcomes. It's not me who is saying that - it's the scientists and the doctors and epidemiologists. I am aware of all the stuff out there on the internet claiming that HCQ is a wonder drug. And I am also sadly aware of how political this topic has become. But unfortunately seeing it on the internet or in a Youtube video does not make it true. Perhaps I should just remain silent and make no attempt to correct obvious misinformation, but I believe that the purpose of this forum is help keep people informed. I'm sorry if my failure to accept Fox News as an authority suggests bias to you. But I would say the same about CNN or MSNBC or any other news source if they couldn't back it up with credible evidence.
And lastly, in response to your statement I should investigate what South Korean doctors have found, I decided to take to your advice. And here's just one example of what I found. It is typical of everything else I have found.

Despite all patients recovering from coronavirus, limits in research prevent definite conclusion on drug's effectiveness - Anadolu Agencywww.aa.com.tr
But let's put this argument to bed. There are those on this forum who believe what you are saying, and there are others who believe what I am saying. I think it is apparent that nothing that either of us post is going to change that. I have said what I wanted to say, so I will not be responding to any further silly arguments on the topic of HCQ. The hope for HCQ is dead, and that fact has been accepted by most reasonable people. The rest of you are free to hang on to your beliefs, however misguided they may be. Stay safe and stay well.

I was at Playero this afternoon at 2pm. Apparently, a lot changed since 8am this morning. No line and gloves were no longer required. Plently of everything when I was there including bleach, water(bought a gallon and the shelves were full), and beef. There was even fresh baked bread, just not as much or as large a selection as pre CV19.
Over 90% of the vegetables grown in central region are rotting

Food is just rotting. Come on Danillo do better.
Very clear to all but the ones guilty of spreading fake news and with the tendency to repeat their same point of view 500 times, that my "we're all going to die" posts as you call them were/are clearly opinion based posts. They were all general in nature even if some did foster a short lived discussion after the initial posting. I posted my opinions and quickly and moved on to another specific facet of the topic. Your lumping a bunch of posts dealing with separate topics together into a single theme sows the singularity of your position.
Doesn't surprise me "Mr. this is jut the flu" that you still can't see the difference between my posts and your agenda based posts dripping with condescension and repeated ad nausea as if sheer repetition would ultimately convince those you were failing to convert to the dark side.
Give it up CB, you've anointed yourself "The in Residence Prophet" on this forum on a mission despite not having a flock or a mount to stand on. Your ability to do this in so many threads at the same time indicates lots of time on your hands and a real desire to influence the minds of others - sure sound like you're trying too hard to compensate for the lack of other meaningful pursuits.

You don't approve of my posts?
I'm crushed.
Fact is this was NOT the earth-ending pandemic as was first predicted. That YOU predicted.
And the NUMBERS are not much worse than the seasonal flu, especially since we now know exposure was many multiples more by magnitudes than positive tests.
And every model that drove the hysteria have proven not even remotely close to reality.
On those points, I was accurate then, and remain far more accurate than the doomsayers.
Even in the DR it has not expanded as many here predicted, and there are many, many thousands of Dominicans who have not followed the instructions of the gubmint.
We will get past this. I just hope the economy is not destroyed in the process.
It's almost like some of you are angry things are not that bad. I don't understand why you are not very happy the sky is not falling. That's a great thing for everybody!
All,
One thing I forgot to mention about the Santiago video I posted. It was our Moderator waytogo who lives in Santiago who noticed this.
I then posted a video and of course the DR1 news caught if right after.
He does not care but I think it’s important to give him credit because he experienced the situation first hand.
thank you again
