hydrochloroquine has no effect, says French study
Roger Tansey

CNN: Sadly, a study from France shows hydrochloroquine to have no effect.
84 patients took the drug, 97 took a placebo. There was no difference in outcomes except that some of the 84 developed heart problems, a known side effect of the drug.

Albert Camus' The Plague
First written and translated in 1948, it's easy to see why it's a classic and Camus won the Nobel Prize,
It must have never gone out of print and I wonder if the price went up in recent days.
I'll buy it when my Stimulas check arrives.
I'll look to see if there's a Project Guttenberg free e-copy online.
A
previous book by Camus that I bought in Bkk was so depressing, I marked
it at 25 c and then gave it away free to an Indian couple who didn't
have 25 c on them--nice conversation last summer, when I had my flea
market table, but I didn't see them again.
I
guess no libraries open now and no flea markets or July 4
fireworks/receptions either--though if there are fireworks I cld see
them from my window. It's like looking at photos of all the difft foods
I made such a char sui bao, that I can't eat now.
I am trying to lighten my C drive by deleted all the copies.
Well then, if you can't afford to buy this book, at least read the summary on Wikipedia.

Mass graves on Hart Island, NY--
This below is drone footage that came out today of mass
graves on NY's Hart Island.
The trench maybe dug by bulldozer, but I see only one fork
lift and the plain coffins are being stacked by prisoners in protective
clothing, by hand, with spades and shovels.
It looks like they are spaced 6 inches apart and stacked in
3 levels, and plywood sheets laid on top, so maybe they are planning more
levels, which wld make them "shallow graves" when finished.
No cremation! You know viruses can lay/lie dormant in
ground for millions of years, a lot of new ones discovered in N and S poles.
You
will need to open a Twitter acct to see this site. I don't think it's a
fake since the death toll was over 800 in NY 2 days ago, that is, that
day, not cumulative. That trench might not fit 800+ coffins. There
have also been shots of remains being loaded onto refrigerated trucks at
hospitals.
Pl take good care, go out less and use masks, even at home, where you shld also distance fr other family members.

Migrant workers walking home in India and Venezuela--due to coronavirus and unemployment
I guess it must be the same with Burmese workers in Thailand and Rangoon.
The world is going to a new very low level equilibrium, but its crust is shaking less, and air is cleaner.
Crime and traffic accidents in NY are down.
I
guess Water Festival is cancelled in Burma and Thailand. Ppl used to
go to Bangkok for organ donations due to accidents during festival.
Have to read up on Black Death.

Andrew Cuomo's daily press briefing, analysis by KM Kaung Ph.D. (Political Economy)
The live stream will have stopped now, but you can find the app or whatever and watch each one every day.
The reason I say this is Gov, Cuoma is about the only one talking sense these days.
Dr Fauci is being limited and maybe threatened by Trump, who won't let him speak.
The reporters are as always too busy with micro(economic or political) matters.
Dr Birx has turned out to be an ass licker.
Cuomo
is well placed to look at micro as well as macro, as he's a Governer
and NY is an important state with a large economy, large population and
now having to deal with the largest number of coronavirus cases, and
dealing with it well.
There
are other governers, but NY is where the coronavirus is peaking right
now, and it's also close to where I am geographically.
Summary: (Note, I only catch the end parts every day, but it is good enough)
1. Peak may be months long.
1918 flu pandemic peaked for 6 months and killed 30,000 in NY (City?) alone.
Since this is 2020, we are better informed and know more about diseases in general.
(From material provided c/o Ma D. States will peak at difft times)
2. It's a matter of WE not ME.
He says he too would like to go out and enjoy the good weather, but it's not a responsible thing to do.
Yesterday he spoke of going to funerals (his daughters are cousins of Maeve Kennedy who drowned 4 days ago).
3. Restarting the economy--it won't be like flipping a switch, restarting something that was shut down suddenly.
(At my Village level, we would need to think, and perhaps move more to online activities and classes when we reopen)
Cuomo
did not say so, but the truth of the matter may be that many people
have died, among whom might be /already are, doctors, nurses, first
responders etc.
(He
spoke 2 days ago of himself not really a China expert, but working
through Asia Society to get the donations of ventilators from Jack Ma
and Alibaba and the Tsais)
4. At the "micro" i.e. NY level,
the
Navy ship did not get many non-corona patients, bc street crime and
traffic accidents down. Cuomo called trump and trump has agreed and the
ship will change to corona patients, but 1000 bed capacity will move to
500, bc corona patients need more space.
5. As always, he ends by thanking medical and other professionals.
NY Pause is working--
What happens depends on what we do.
6. My 3 cents.
I am reducing the # of ppl on my bcc list bc I think
a. some of you feel crowded
b. think you know enough already
c. think you are immune
d. don't want to "get involved in pols."
e.
take it personally, one woman who looked at my eye drops (Lantanoprost)
shrugged and dismissed me when I said she should wash her hands after
looking at the label on the bottle. She asked if it was a cure or to
prevent glaucoma.
I
said it depends on pressure in eye, she said she knew already. I said "
It's not a cure, it's to prevent the condition from worsening." At that
point she had already stopped listening. Shortly thereafter, there was a
case in which a woman killed her spouse using off the counter eye
drops.
So if you wish me to stop posts to you, email me, and I will.

Cardiologists warn against anti-malarial drug touted by trump, as "cure" for coronavirus
besides, stuff you buy in Burma or online might be fakes. Be wary of scams at this time.

Body of Maeve Kennedy Townsend recovered from Chesapeake Bay
One bad decision, and all for a ball. 8 year old son Gideon still missing.
At this time don't let cabin fever stress you into bad decisions. Better to be alive with "cabin fever" than to be dead.

NY governor Andrew Cuomo says people are violating Stay at Home
This streaming may have stopped, but you can find it by Googling.
Ppl are out in parks bc it's nice weather, but it's not a good idea.
If you get sick, you will be stressing an already stressed system, and that is NY and USA.
In Burma or the "developing world" you will just die and take others with you.
Cuoma has raised fine in NY state to $1000.00
Try
and watch his daily briefings. "It seems to have plateaued, but at a
very high level. What happens next depends on what we (everyone does)
do."

Warning Graphic--In Search of Fire, complete movie--a bit too strange for my tastes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHZW2OTNaS4
But our forebears must have been like that.
It looks to be Europe, but not clear how they hunted.
Still, probably more realistic than Clan of the Cave Bear.
There was a language problem bc the language used is a real language, and when native speakers saw it, the dialog did not fit the action and it was a real joke.
So much for Anthony Burgess.
But I think the gestures invented by Desmond Morris The Naked Ape are realistic enough.
Who knows.
They must be Neanderthals. Good make up.
Should have shown how intelligent the Neaderthals were, and more hunting and surviving winter etc.

Repost--NYTs face mask design--make it yourself
Tuesday, March 31, 2020
How to make yr own coronavrus mask--this is only for
"casual use" Medical professionals need better protection.
This template will be a better fit.
I tried (nylon) scarves, but slippery and tend to slip off.
This design has curved nose
seam.
I just made mine of pure cotton, finished
is 4 1/2 by 11 inches.
Old clean sheets, T shirts are very
comfortable to use.
I put on 4 "ribbons" or
stitched ties, each abt 12 inches long.
the top 2 ties should be level with the
tops of yr ears.
The bottom 2 ties with the bottoms of yr
ears.
I just cut off the seams of runner I
cannibalized and used those.
Cut piece 1/2 inch extra all round.
Sew: lay 2 pieces face to face
Look in mirror and mark level of ties
with pencil.
lay 2 ties each side INSIDE the face to
face pieces, sew sides shut with sewing machine.
That will secure the ties.
Turn mask inside out, pull out corners.
Try it on, ties go behind yr head.
The template design may be a better fit
due to curves, but I have made mine my way.
Make about 4 masks per household member.
After each use (say each time you go to
market) when you get home, sterilize in assigned pot you keep for each person,
bringing to a ROLLING Boil for maybe 10 mins. You can do this on a hot plate.
Don't sue pot for anything else.
Hang to dry on clean line--store dry
masks in a new ziplock bag.
It is best for each person to have his or
her own fabric--eg. pink is Kyi's, C's is blue stripes etc-- and not to boil
them together.
I hope this helps.
I will test mine tomorrow when I take out
trash and do my laundry.
It's more secure fit than scarves. If you
want better fit use the templates wh are in 3 sizes incld children's
best
