HCQ for CoVID-19
That is very sad....Sad news in the jazz world: Jazz greats Wallace Robey and Ellis Marsalis (father of Wynton, Branford, Delfayo, etc.) have died of coronavirus.
The pandemic is intimately wedded with politics when any particular pricipality's "response" to it is posted, so there will often be some political slant to news items posted.
I have a friend who plays keyboards and, when nobody else volunteers, becomes "musical director" aboard whichever ship he signs up for.
He's likely a victim of this:
https://gcaptain.com/coast-guard-93000-crew-members-still-stuck-on-cruise-ships-off-united-states/
"According to the Coast Guard, as of Sunday there were 114 cruise ships still carrying 93,000 crew members either in or near U.S. ports and waters. This includes 73 cruise ships with a combined 53,000 crew members either moored or anchored in U.S. ports and another 41 ships with 41,000 crew members still underway in the vicinity of the United States.
Ultimately, however, it is the obligation of the cruise lines for the care, safety and welfare of their seafarers, the Coast Guard says."
Though he's a natural home-born white guy US Citizen from the Northeast, and his (foreign, they all are*) cruise ship has been docked (recently in New Orleans), he probably can't get off and go about his business like a normal person might.

*For a cruise ship to travel between US Ports, it must be registered under the US flag, and adhere to US rules, which, of course, makes it too expensive, except for some isolated cases. Foreign flagged ships may enter US ports, but not two ports in a row, without first docking in a foreign nation's port.

Anybody who thinks the response to Covid 19 can be separated from politics is delusional. View attachment 58217
Wow, you guys waited an entire 5 to 8 posts before making this political, despite the plea of the original poster not to do so. Sorry, but the rejection of evidence-based data and information should not be accepted anywhere and especially not here.Anybody who thinks the response to Covid 19 can be separated from politics is delusional.

Let's put it this way, that it's too easy to go that way, we take the challenge and try to go the other way [/QUOTE
Yep, avoid the ramifications of political influence on response.
That doesn't mean that it may well be the most significant factor in this crisis.
Abide by the forum rule on posting individual partisan political views but don't dismiss the importance of political influences on this problem,
worldwide.
I respectfully point out that many governments have been rejecting evidence-based data, in favour of "feelings". I don't know how that can be separated from politics in a rational discussion of Covid 19, but I will say no more on the topic in favour of using posted information for my personal enlightenment.Wow, you guys waited an entire 5 to 8 posts before making this political, despite the plea of the original poster not to do so.

Would seem to me using the most up to date evidence is always preferable.Can we reject yesterdays evidence-based data and information when today's is different?
Yeah, I saw that image today. Really makes one think about this. All over the face and then the hands and in aerosol form. Geeech!
