Because there's a lot of shady doctors out there.
Here's the story: https://www.npr.org/2020/04/01/825056946/why-lupus-patients-find-hydroxychloroquine-in-short-supply
Don't forget, prescription opioids require a doctor's prescription...
Dr. David Price is a critical care pulmonologist (aka lung doctor) at Weill Cornell Hospital in New York City. NYC is the current epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S.
“We know that if you keep your hands clean, you’re not going to get this,” Dr. Price said...
You don’t need to live in a bubble...
Become aware of how much you’re touching your face and STOP IT...
Dr. Price and his team wear no masks when walking around the hospital hallways.
When they’re walking into a room to talk to a patient, they’ll wear a basic cloth surgical mask.
Only when they are going to perform what is known as an Aerosol Generating Procedure — ex. hooking someone up to a ventilator or doing anything where a patient is likely to spit, sneeze, or cough in their faces — will Dr. Price and his team wear N95 masks.
According to Dr. Price, when healthcare providers are following these steps, zero of them are getting sick.
A lot of docs are writing scripts for themselves - can you blame them?
If they're doing it to get high, yes.
I thought we were talking about hydroxychloroquine.
If they are trying to high on that, you want a different doctor.
Pretty much unethical for both depending on the intended use.
If you're buying up supplies because, "I gotta get mine", and that's causing harm to others that need that drug; then isn't that a violation of the Hippocratic Oath?
They could always move to Howard county. We are the most fair county in Indiana.
I am astounded at you law dogs in all this lockdown stuff. How is any of it constitutional?
Ok lets say you're driving through an area that is under lockdown but is riddled with all kinds of exceptions for essential this and essential that.
Now you get pulled over by police. What is the reasonable articulable suspicion for the initial detainment?
Police Officer comes up to your windows asks for DL and registration and proceeds to play 20 questions.
You decide to exercise your right not to self incriminate. You invoke your right to legal counsel.
Officer ends up deciding to arrest you for violation of this lockdown order.
Where is the evidence the prosecutor would present?
They cant prove or disprove you did or did not fall into one of the many exceptions for travel under the lockdown order.
(and thats assuming the governor or local officials have any authority to mandate a lockdown outside of declaring martial law anyways.)
In the scientific world this kind of low rent observational study offers the lowest scientific merit so yes it is a puff piece lol and not typically worthy of a high impact journal like NEJM. This officially trained contact trace team couldn't even determine the direction of infection from facility to facility not that I fault them for that. According to Table 1. at the time of publication there had not been any employee deaths but maybe it happened later in March? Once information started coming out about the danger to older adults, many nursing homes did start locking down entry and access earlier in March anyway (the CDC put out their report about this article on March 18). I wouldn't call it bad science just not particularly useful. Kudos to the authors though the NEJM is probably the highest impact factor journal out there at 70.6, even beating JAMA at 51.3! It didn't take over a month to complete, the data they used was over a month, in the manuscript they are still citing data from as late as March 18 so they couldn't have finished a manuscript any earlier than that. The e-publication date is March 27 so it was submitted and accepted and published in a maximum of nine days. I'm sorry I wasn't as excited as you were over this study.
I may have missed it with the pace this thread rolls at. Has anyone expanded more on this? If so, where?
I remember another post asking as well but didn't see anything after that.
I'm sorry but "proton pump inhibitor" sounds suspiciously like "flux capacitor."
Nah. We don't have to do anything that draconian.
Just impose a nationwide 10MPH speed limit.
Crashes at that speed would be essentially 100% survivable, even in the most ragged out 1987 Corolla.
I just rewatched all 3 of those over the weekend. 1st one was the best.I'm sorry but "proton pump inhibitor" sounds suspiciously like "flux capacitor."
My advice would be to ask the officer repeatedly if you are being detained. Then inform the officer that you do not wish to create joinder with him/her. Once they realize that you know your rights, they will always apologize and let you go on your way.
