Does anyone know when we get word on the official trial runs of the malaria meds?
I thought I heard Trump say (during his Sunday presser?) something about talking about that today. I think that NY started the meds Tuesday of last week???
I could be WAY wrong and my apologies if so.

They are prescribing this stuff everywhere at the moment, not just in isolated trials. Have to think in the next week we'll really see/hear about the efficacy on a larger scale.
The anemic/low-iron thing isn't just in this thread btw. There has been quite a lot of talk about the correlation of that and critical complications from COVID.

Yeah Commander Data had to receive a "brown bag of liquid".

The link above is just one statistical guess, but yesterday it showed peak hospital use in Tennessee at 525 ICU beds on April 26. Today it says 2,896 ICU beds will be needed on April 26. Any idea what changed so dramatically?

Dr. Acton, the Ohio Health Director who is an academic and seems in over her head at times, was somewhat dismissive of those projections (hardly a surprise). I do think her rationale is interesting though. She says it doesn't take into account the length of stay for the hospital and ICU patients and the compounding nature of adding new patients to the existing patients. If true, that seems like an extreme oversight by the authors of the paper.
I did notice the Ohio projections on that site went up as well since yesterday.

Acton said she believes the Washington model looks at peak capacity day-by day, but that coronavirus patients will have to remain in the hospital much longer than patients with other illnesses -- up to 20 days. She said scientists will continue to collaborate, to work through their projections.
“You can’t just look at who might be sick and the number of cases when they’re piling on top of each logarithmically," she said Monday.

I've been following that link for Louisiana and it keeps changing. I'm praying that it's a model that our state leaders are "considering" but I'm hoping that they're using other data as well to make these decisions.

That’s what the offsite, makeshift hospitals are for. Manageable and recovering patients. They are trying to have only the most severe cases in actual hospitals.

The data out of the Bay Area, which locked down two weeks ago, is looking positive so good news there.

Any good model will update their assumptions as more data become available.
Let's put it this way; do you want just the 1st model for a hurricane when they pick it up 200+ hours from shore or do you want it updated as it moves closer?
I'll take something updating rather than "Here is what we thought a week ago".

NOLA is ahead of most cities on the timeline. Soon those numbers will tell you as much or more than the models. Or at least inform them so they are more accurate. There has been a run of several days with a notable lower percentage of positives. Not enough to be considered a significant trend, but it’s encouraging. The demand for drive-up testing has also slowed. As NOLA goes the state goes, I would think. And most parts of the state are less dense. These noon numbers are important.

That link says we don't need any ventilators today.
Does that mean additional ventilators?

Not at all. I just hope that our state people are looking at EVERYTHING and don't keep this going longer than it needs to be. That's all. I have more confidence in some of those posting here than I do in "leaders".

IDK.
Looking at the chart right now, the way I read it which could be really wrong is that TODAY there is a projected need for more icu beds than there are .. does anyone know if Louisiana is out of icu beds?
Also I wish that the deaths per day chart which shows a solid red line for actual deaths and a broken red line for hte projections would reflect what the projections were so we can see if it indeed was what was projected. Pure curiosity.

Not even close to being out of ICU beds.
