    1. I didn't know Rahm Emanuel was a doctor.
    2. I haven't heard Rahm him speak about COVID.
    3. You need a tinfoil hat if you really believe that the entire world is conspiring against you.
    4. I'm sorry you don't trust doctors. I hope you never get sick, because your plumber won't be able to treat you.

    Doctors has nothing to do with it.
    It is a government who set policies and rules.
    People judge by associations.
    If real science is associated by "progressive" science (social extremism), people will not trust it.

    You hate doctors, medical expertise, and have no interest in helping slow the spread of COVID.

    You are a fine example of a wise, thoughtful and caring individual. Truly.

    It doesn't have to be that way. We can think for ourselves in doing the right things. If we do the things that can stem COVID-19, We can be free from the Pandemic. simple as that.

    Doing the right thing on this will give some kind of victory to combat COVID-19. simple as that.

    How do her occult/religious beliefs affect her ability to practice medicine? What about the multitude of Indian doctors in the West, many if not most are Hindu? Hindus believe in all kinds of magic, ghosts, spirits and the like. Yet we don't hear Hindus practicing medicine in the West being called witch doctors.

    And I notice you seem to be ignoring that for decades the CDC's been advising it for malaria, right up until very recently. So why the sudden turn around?

    They don't want it to go away. The longer it hangs around, the longer they can maintain their fanatical conspiracy theories.

    Here it is again:

    Chloroquine

    Adults: 300 mg base (500 mg salt), once/week.

    Children: 5 mg/kg base (8.3 mg/kg salt) (maximum is adult dose), once/week. Begin 1-2 weeks before travel, once/week during travel, and for 4 weeks after leaving.

    Chloroquine is stronger than hydroxychloroquine.

    When did I talk about Chloroquine? I'm talking about masks. The single easiest thing we can do to keep viral load down.

    Whoever are those that don't want it go away and want COVID-19 to stay would be wrong. Those that think some fairy from another land will come and use its wand to wish it away is just a fairy fantasy. The real folks that are down to earth (and there is a majority of them) want to do what's right and go by the rules to do so it is needed to do what is to be done. That's the realistic thing to do.

    I know. It's pathetic, really. They think the mask is some sort of mind control device. These science haters are nauseating. What I can't fathom, is if they hate science so much, why are they on a computer? Our science knowledge is what brought us every bit of technology we enjoy today.

    Yes it's true that scientific knowledge brought us technology to help us through the hard times and know what is going on. Those that don't and won't wear the masks ought to stay home where they belong.

    Doctors are not qualified to give suggestions about how SARS-2 spreads out, those are epidemiologists.

    If suggestions are coming from "progressives", I will be suspicious.

    Last I checked epidemiologists are required to get a PhD to graduate. They aren't surgeons, no. They don't check your blood pressure much, no.

    But, yes, they are doctors. Doctors of Epidemiology.

    Sigh. At worse, if you must, they ARE scientists. Trust the science.

    If suggestions are from religious crackpots who prescribe demon cures and cannot show any controlled study that guarantees that this demonologist cures everyone that has COVID.....

    .....
    I will be suspicious, and extremely dismayed that the President of my own country highly recommends her.

    Perhaps progressives know the right things to combat COVID-19. We'll see if the rest of us follow their lead,

    The problem with your response is that religious people do not support looting, racial wars, lawlessness etc. Unlike so called "progressives" they are not preaching for chaos and instability. Unlike progressive "social scientists" they do not applaud to criminals, so they do not put my life in danger.
    I have ZERO trust to anyone who make a suggestions on behalf of science while promoting extremists and dangerous social policies.
    That is exactly why so many people think that COVID-19 is just a liberal hoax to grab more power.
    You guys essentially 100% responsible for all the problems related to coronavirus pandemic.

    School will be starting soon and will the children be ready for what's ahead? It might be safer for those that home school rather than take the physical trip where that have to go elbow to elbow. Going elbow to elbow would be harder than most anything. Recess ought to be limited but who knows what will happen in the months to come and the Coronavirus is still with us and is here to stay for a while longer. It something to think about.
