"Doctor Radio" warned that the circumstances of that "leaked video" claiming Remdesivir was working, and a bizarre letter recommending the drug appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine were highly suspicious. They strongly voiced skepticism not only about the drug but about the pushing of it in the media. They cautioned listeners not to get excited about it. I guess they had some experience with Remdesivir that led them to believe it wouldn't be a good treatment for COVID 19.

I was wondering, could the virus either be deactivating something in the body that prevents clotting, or contributing something that causes the clotting?

Is there something that is like the opposite of Vitamin K (which helps clotting) in the body that could be inactivated by the virus?

Just wondering aloud...

Kim Jong Un is ailing, any subordinate (or perhaps his sister) could have been asked to tweet this.

But he could also be fine and hiding to avoid the virus.

I don't actually believe the heart story. I think it's more likely he caught the virus, but because he's been saying "There are no COVID cases in North Korea" it would simply be too embarrassing to admit that, so it's a cover story of a cover story.

to show no benefit (but the first to show actual harm).

China (Journal of Zhejiang University study)
France (France's second study after the first paper was retracted)
Brazil EDIT: study halted after deaths
VA study

I think I'm missing another one, perhaps a study in the northeast US.

My argument (or one of my arguments) against the idea Trump can "fix the economy" is exactly that you can't bribe enough people to take stupid risks. I also severely question the premise of "pent up demand." Just the opposite could happen, where people learn that they can do without many of the things they thought were essentials--and that it's simple, less expensive, healthier, less of a hassle and rather enjoyable.

What seems to be happening is that responsibility for what is happening is being so haphazardly delegated that some people will be confused about who to blame.

W.H.O.
China
CDC and FDA
Governors
Obama
(It's a long list, but the governors are being set up and it's amazing to me some of them are willing participants and don't see the end-game here.)

Soon, almost everyone will know somebody or know somebody who knows somebody who died or is forever changed by contracting this virus, or knows a doctor or medical professional who is thoroughly disgusted by what is being allowed to happen, not to mention that this virus will hit red states and Fox Newsers especially hard.

This idea that the economy can be resurrected because Trump says so is a notion I don't accept. A hundred other countries have a say in the matter. Oil, supply lines and trade routes, and supply and demand, also have a say in the matter.

Lastly, at the end of the day, individuals have to decide, "Is it worth it to go out today? Is it worth it to get a Big Mac, see a baseball game, go to a party?" I don't know too many people who will be hungering for risk right now.

Remember in late February those discussions about there being both an L-Type and an S-Type, with the L-Type being more virulent? Some prominent scientists really took issue with that, but it did seem interesting at the time. Now, maybe there's more evidence pointing to multiple strains.

Coronavirus: aggressive ‘L type’ strain affecting 70 per cent of cases
Researchers say that the discovery of two SARS-CoV2 strains "strongly support an urgent need for further immediate, comprehensive studies".
