Of course I have mild cold like symptoms this morning with all this shite going on. It might just be a cold but wonderful timing. I've already had the flu this year.
This is exactly the COVID-19 symptoms in young people.

after reading your post, I'm curious about why dogs are immune
They are not. A Pomeranian in Hong Kong got it, was cured, and died within weeks. It was 17 years old, so probably died of natural causes.

Not just that but most pet medicines are the same as humans just in varying dowsed or used for different treatments. So it’s hard for me to believe that dogs had a vaccinate for the virus but it mutated and now medical professionals have no known medicines.
What are you saying here? This is an incoherent mess. First, dogs don’t have vaccines that we don’t give them; they don’t even have laboratories.
Second, even if dogs had a vaccine it would not work for humans.
Third, If you meant “immunity” then dogs being immune to the virus would not even give (human) scientists a clue for a human vaccine.

Come on, man, There are about 1.7 billion Chinese people. They don’t all eat bats, I can assure you. This is like judging all Americans by what people do in Alabama.

No, his point is what he said it was: that the media does not report the good news very much. And he is correct. This is a well known trait of the media. They want sensational world-is-ending headlines, because that’s what sells.
The news of the likely efficacy of chloroquine phosphate is HUGE news, even though it’s not 100% certain yet. Your example of the lottery was silly. A better lottery comparison is if every number except one had been selected, and the next day they were going to announce the last number. In that case, you could bet your bottom dollar the media would be interviewing 10 ticket holders.

Thank you for the simple explanation! I hadn't heard this yet.
My neighbors have social distanced themselves into hysteria and are all about texting doom and gloom to us all.
Whodathunk I'd find the voice of reason posted on the OT?!

The statement being made is that there are no known drugs that are effective, and that is true. I can't go in to a hospital right now and get an effective drug on a scientific basis. Anything promising or potentially is just whistling dixie until there is evidence. I've followed drugs for years that look like home runs and then take a big shite in their double blind trial and are forgotten.
This is true if you are talking about a NEW drug. Not a drug that has been well studied for years (or decades) that is being applied to a new problem/virus.

Is this Malarone of another Malaria drug. I have a pack of Malarone I ended up not using because a trip to India was canceled. Curious how much I can get for it on the black market

Except for smallpox, every major pandemic in history originated in China. The Black Death. The Spanish flu. The Justinian Plague. There is a pattern of gross behavior there which leads to shite like this.
