(11,037 posts)32. don't care
show me where the "Italian" virus has mutated into a less infectious (or less lethal) form of SARS-Cov2. It hasn't? Then STFU!
Can you tell me what the "motivation" is of the man who is pushing his hydroxycloroquine cure? Again, don't care! Physicians can be as careless, arrogant and self-promoting as all the rest of the species (sometimes more so). What I do care about is .. whatever his motivation, his bulls**t and bluster helped to kill a lot of people. And there were lots of "interesting articles" written about this man and his "findings" too .. along with people drinking fish tank cleaner.
And thankfully, a lot of other people that were willing to say, "Hey WAIT a minute ..!"

Let them publish their conclusion with data for peer review. Otherwise their claim is suspect.

+1, if the virus hasn't mutated I don't care for amount of viral load if they haven't tested
