Lets hope there will be an efficacy with the possible treatment options carefully being considered and deployed here, that includes combination drug therapy, antiretroviral, antiviral, and antimalarial drugs. Its possible that treatment will help but the patients will not develop full immunity to this virus. Thus, when they head out to the market/public spaces again, they get hit with the virus again. :( Masks can only help up to a certain extent.

China closed all cinemas again last weekend urgently after they try to open them last week. There maybe something is wrong again.
I think it'll take a while for the truth to come out but in the end it will. The following may be more about controlling the flow of information rather than total deaths although I suspect the real death numbers in China are much higher.

USS Comfort has docked as well. I don't know how much stress it will take off from hospitals in the vicinity, but the ship is meant to handle non-COVID-19 patients only.

Looks like chloroquine us now approved for treatment under emergency use for serious cases. Now, let's hope the people that hoarded it proactively didn't deplete the stocks too much. So many people who weren't sick ran out and got proactive scripts and doctors started writing bulk scripts. Medicine sitting in a healthy person's cabinet doesn't help anyone.

I ordered a power supply and they want 5 weeks to deliver
I ordered some bulbs with long lead time (weeks) but the arrived today, two days after order. So not sure the long lead times are accurate.

Hey Q, get yourself a "fitness" watch. These things are like a task master and slave driver on your wrist. I was back up to 200 just before Christmas and am down to 177 now. The fQin thing has me moving all the time! Throw in watching my diet in "My Fitness Pal", a freebie app, and my life is being run by cyber sadists.
