I doubt too many will be rushing back onto cruise ships after this. That's one industry that won't recover well.
That has never been my thing, but I don't wish any industry ill. They employ entertainers, catering companies, and bring tourists to lost of ports of call. But they've had outbreaks of isolated viruses before, too. They are probably guilty of not taking precautions.

Impressive! 44secs is my best so far. How many times did you try it until you got this?
I didn't count the times but I played for about 30 minutes. I quit games halfway through if I messed up. You definitely get better with practice... I was hitting the 43-46 range for the first 10 minutes and then 40-45. In the last 10, I broke 40 about 4 times. The 26-30 section always disrupts rhythm when blocks start disappearing. It should get easier but it always throws me off. I reckon I could break 35, but not 32.

yup! That's the key problem. Finding those 26 - 30s quickly enough. Have to learn to use side eye more :)

:facepalm:

Here's a question: I can see from the photo that it looked like they were going out in the streets, so that's not good. And I see she was warned by the police. But, say if she were isolated with her family, and then they took their own car to their 2nd home and isolated there, wouldn't that be OK?

She’s the chief medical officer she has to be better than that

I already said she was wrong. But what if people travel in cars and stay quarantined? Is that wrong?

Another encouraging story about hydroxychloroquine, this one involving elderly people in Long Island:

"A New York doctor hopes to help his elderly COVID-19 patients with a treatment plan inspired by the success tentatively being reported with hydroxychloroquine — and which he says shows promising results.

Dr. Mohammud Alam, an infectious disease specialist affiliated with Plainview Hospital, said 81 percent of infected covid patients he treated at three Long Island nursing homes recovered from the contagion."

I really applaud the doctors and scientists that are trying to think outside of the box, and build upon the work that others have done to come up with solutions to ease pain and save lives. It's great if some of these ideas are working. It is worth remembering that the best work of doctors and scientists takes real creativity, not just facts and figures. Long-term solutions, such as a vaccine, will take a lot more time and trials, but if some ideas are working, why not? They had made adjustments for heart issues, which was a side effect I read of the other protocol. Well, it's a start.

I don't know what the purpose of this question is. If the Chief Medical Officer can do something like that, with no consequences, then the roads will be full. Everyone will feel they can go out on a trip. Surely this is obvious? Lead by example..
