Today the wife showed me an effort by Netflix. Apparently they are going to put up posters of spoilers for their shows. So if you go outside Netflix shows will be ruined for you

President Jair Bolsonaro is right despite some governors' attempts to sabotage his efforts, not only regarding health. On a sidenote, at least one week before the Coronavirus outbreak became this media circus, there has been some bush fires decreasing the air quality in certain areas, which could become a trigger for respiratory diseases. While walking the dog, even I felt sick but it was clearly related to a bush fire nearby. And at least in São Paulo, the governor João Dória Jr. has ordered EMS physicians to declare every death during their
medical interventions as "suspect of Coronavirus". It's a clear attempt to push the public opinion against Bolsonaro. At least one media conglomerate (Bandeirantes) had been bought by the Chinese dictatorship a few years ago, not to mention the crisis at Rede Globo.

What does Bob Dylan think is the most important thing: Bob Dylan - Murder Most Foul (Official Audio)

Hope we don't go though that again.

There was at least one lady who had been dying at an ICU at a public hospital in São Paulo, but got fully recovered after taking quinine and azitromycine.

The way many treatments is found is by accident.

There is a risk but sometimes it’s justified

So do trials. Document what you did and what happened.

EDIT: A little more research shows Michigan is doing trials in hospitals using hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine.

Michigan is specifically concerned about:

The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has received multiple allegations of Michigan physicians inappropriately prescribing hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine to themselves, family, friends, and/or coworkers without a legitimate medical purpose.

The letter sent out is here:

Watched Dr. Vuong. Useful info starts at https://youtu.be/4J0d59dd-qM?t=700. At https://youtu.be/4J0d59dd-qM?t=141 he fails to define SARS, but that's just amusing.

I downed 2 liter of quinine water and my arythmia went wild (or so I imagined ), so I called my doctor and she limited me to 1 liter a day [83mg].
