I wonder how much effect current anti-virals have on covid.. obviously they're not designed for it, and they aren't actually a cure, more of
an assist to the immune system.
Are your AIDS or Herpes sufferers going to be "safer" because they're already on anti-virals, in some cases combinations thereof.
Apparently a potential cure has been found by a team in Brisbane. The treatment involves a malaria drug and a HIV drug, and since both drugs
are already approved, they're ready to start human trials.

If this is accurate...can see the US being the only country in the
world not to allow it to be used because an American company isn't
being used to make money for those who own it. The OPOS tried to force
a German company to be bought for a billion dollars...if they would

That is the best news I have heard in awhile. The more smart minds on this, the better.
Yes. I'm not surprised if cures and vaccines come from around here. Australia has some of the best medical research in the world.

I think it's atall levels. Government, hospitals, universities and private enterprise all seem to work well together, when it comes to research. Was reading about research in Melbourne by a collaboration between Melbourne University and the Royal Melbourne Hospital, which has

Be happy your government isn't currently ruled by religious fundamentalists who believe more in voodoo from their delusions. The US used to be a leader in research/science...but now their voodoo has made this country the laughing stock it is now. This is why you have an OPOS making these idiots proud of being stupid.

The big banks are lobbying government to loosen capital restrictions to allow them to make riskier plays to try and offset CV losses. The same restrictions set into place after loose capital restrictions and loose regulation set the stage for the 2008 financial crisis and bailout.
Gross opportunism.
And we'll see the coronavirus recession compounded into a GFC-II depression, when the whole house of cards collapses.... again! :/

You won't need it to collapse, there is no way out of this without a recession.
I don't care what they do or hope for... As always though through
chaos comes
opportunity, expect a new bunch or rich people as it comes to a close.

to GO through this thing. Whatever you can imagine is the worst economic scenario thats where we're going. Even with the governments suddenly
pouring billions and trillions into the economy they also are not an infinite resource.
We'll still have to make it up on the other side somehow. Unless and this
is really unlikely they all agree to write off a lot of debt.

That appears to be the problem in Iran. They can't get the mosques shut and limit crowds... the "church" holds to much power. So even a
moderate poli can't get anything done.

My point is yes, it's going to bad enough, no matter how well
everyone acts, so we don't need banks behaving badly to screw things
up even more than they'll already be.

We see it to slightly different ways, you're hoping for a better
result, I don't think it matters who does what now, its just all
buggered completely. You've got a bit more hope left if in you than I
do.

One thought - those revolutions happened with a finite gold-backed currency. Now the solution is for the federal reserve to print more
money for our government. Government pushes interest debt on to the
next generation, solvency for big business, ever-increasing debt and inflation for the workers.
I wonder what politics will look like when my kids are grown. It's
felt like the end of an empire for a while now, and I don't see any
change coming soon.

People are scared and unsure of what to do. Some people reach out to
help those around them, and others want to hunker down and surround themselves with the things that make them feel normal - like the people
on camera buying 500+ cans of Mountain Dew.
One suggestion? Figure out how much you'd spend on
transit/commute/parking during this time and donate some portion of that to a local food bank. See if your company does a donation matching

I think some have bad intent, but others are worry-hoarding. In some areas, it seems like the state or local governments have made multiple closings at once, while leaving groceries and gas stations open. Our

For that matter...being a Doctor Who fan...could be the same between

specimans of humanoid appearance, and from memory get wiped out.
