    I may have already beat it... maybe I should get tested. I'll be bummed if I already had it, however. I didn't even get a chance to try HCQ.

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

          Uncle Ted just started taking the coronavirus epidemic seriously.

                Maybe we can beat this by taking Estrogen?

                Can Estrogen and Other Sex Hormones Help Men Survive Covid-19?
                Men are more likely than women to die of the coronavirus, so scientists are treating them with something women have more of: female sex hormones.
                [...]
                Last week, doctors on Long Island in New York started treating Covid-19 patients with estrogen in an effort to increase their immune systems, and next week, physicians in Los Angeles will start treating male patients with another hormone that is predominantly found in women, progesterone, which has anti-inflammatory properties and can potentially prevent harmful overreactions of the immune system.

                “There’s a striking difference between the number of men and women in the intensive care unit, and men are clearly doing worse,” said Dr. Sara Ghandehari, a pulmonologist and intensive care physician at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles who is the principal investigator for the progesterone study. She said 75 percent of the hospital’s intensive care patients and those on ventilators are men.

                And pregnant women, who are usually immunocompromised but have high levels of estrogen and progesterone, tend to have mild courses of the disease. “So something about being a woman is protective, and something about pregnancy is protective, and that makes us think about hormones,” Dr. Ghandehari said.

                Yeah, I think I'll take my chances with HCQ rather than go on birth control.

                  Just drink soy milk. That is what I suggested to my wife when she had her hysterectomy.

                        This is spot on. I know doctors on here said this early on.

                        Data Accuracy: We have gaps everywhere, but “hospitalizations” are probably the cleanest and earliest indicator we have.

                          Yeah, that seems to be the case. A lady I work with just went and got tested because her husband came home from work with a fever and aches. They were told they'd get the results in 5-7 days. So basically the data in Texas for # of cases is on a half week lag at best which almost makes the data meaningless if you are trying to get micro-trend data.

                            So by election time Covid-19 hospitalizations are going to be like nothing.

                              Texas cases surging, deaths trending upwards (broke record for daily CV19 deaths twice in the last week).

                              And honestly, when I do go out and about, things almost look like they normally would here in Houston.

                                Things look very different where I am. Everyone is wearing a mask, which wasn't the case up until about two weeks ago. Downtown is vacant, absolutely a ghost town. Traffic on I45 is minimal at best.
