Researchers Look To Old Drugs For A Possible Coronavirus Treatment – It Might Just Work
Old Malaria drugs might be effective at curing COVID-19
I think he's taking it seriously na. Early on he had bad info because the US CDC was apparently using a test kit that couldn't distinguish COVID-19 from regular water.

Sila din kasi pinaka vulnerable sa virus Cathy. Best minimize their exposure.
That UK herd immunity strategy has been abandoned. Good thing they woke up coz a lot of people would die before the spread stops.
Does anyone know if Lazada still does food item deliveries?
Problema kasi if you are "young" and live with older people, you can still carry the virus. Iilan lang naman ang household na walang nakatira over 60.
Okay sana pero sabi nila 50% of the population will catch it? Elders still need people to do their grocery etc

saw that video
una sa lahat, that's glenn beck far right conservative glenn beck
in fairness chloroquine does show effectiveness against coronavirus
pero if you listen the the whole message... what glenn beck wants is for the FDA to approve the chloroquine + azithro treatment para mawala ang takot ng tao
if approved, the fear will go away coz people will think "may gamot naman eh"
pag wala na ung fear, the stock market will rally
which is what Trump wants
yan ang underlying reason why the far right commentators and Trump want chloroquine approved
Read this in reddit about herd immunity.
Social distancing flattens the curve of contagion, but in the end, with something as contagious as COVID-19, it will still spread throughout the population until it reaches a point where herd immunity kicks in. When it does, say, 40%-70% of the population will have been infected. That, by the way, is a figure that's being discussed as realistic and inevitable by a lot of medical authorities around the world.
So, what the UK is saying, if I understand correctly, is that it's important to isolate (they used the silly term "cocoon") vulnerable people until such time as herd immunity is achieved. It makes sense: you want your more vulnerable citizens to become infected later, because by then 1) the system won't be as overloaded, and 2) we'll know better how to treat severe cases. It's even better if those vulnerable citizens are kept isolated from any risk of contagion until herd immunity is achieved. That's ideal.
Pag sobrang effective yung quarantine wala din herd immunity, because no one is getting infected.
The idea is people have to catch it and recover, after which they can't become a carrier anymore. The metric here is the number of people recovered -- sila yung portion of our herd that's immune na to the virus.
With super strict lockdown measures in place we're not developing herd immunity until magkaroon ng proper vaccine.

From where I stand, their value lies only in their wealth of experience and what they have contributed to humanity when they were still young.
Some views old age as a disease. And when you have an irreversible disease, you’re hardly valuable anymore.
The lesson is, right now, when we’re still valuable, be the best that you can ever be in whatever that you do.
When your time comes, the next generation will look your way with gratitude in their eyes for you have changed the world for the better than when you found it.

Thanks for the comment. I searched more on this and found that the Rigano dude himself seems rather sketchy too.
But the use of old antivirals might be sound. Sana something good comes out of it.a spokesperson for Stanford Medical School emails: “Stanford Medicine, including SPARK, wasn’t involved in the creation of the Google document, and we’ve requested that the author remove all references to us. In addition, Gregory Rigano is not an advisor with Stanford School of Medicine and no one at Stanford was involved in the study.“
