Man dies after self-medicating with chloroquine

Quote

"A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate," one of the anti-malaria drugs that President Trump has mentioned in recent days, according to Banner Health, the hospital system that treated both patients.

Who wants to bet that they were totally into QAnon?

Crazy how NY and NJ have so many positive cases compared to the rest of the nation.

It isn't really when you think about how densely populated New York is and how close NJ is to NY. Jersey City and Hoboken were both popping with activity the night the NBA shut down. I should know, I was out at dinner party in JC that night.

It's just so different in Florida. The populations are roughly the same, Florida a bit bigger, but you have half NY's population in a little area in NYC. And they're testing more people as well, so either way, NY is going to have tons more right now.

I just had to run out to the grocery store and pharmacy, first time I've left the house in 4 days. I went to a higher-end grocery (Save On Foods, for Canadians) which is usually less busy. Held true this time, maybe 10-20 customers in the store. They had big signs everywhere saying stay at least 2m (6') from all other customers, and had yellow tape markings near the registers to mark where you should stand. Everyone was very respectful and minded their distance from others. I ended up using the self-checkout since I only needed to touch the screen twice to start and finish (and had alcohol hand sanitizer on me), and I am only use TAP now (contactless credit/debit card payment). The only things that were out of stock was toilet paper and flour. Canned soup was low, but was marked as a limit of a few cans per customer.

 

So overall not too bad, and the streets were quite empty.

I hope you are right! I know NJ is not doing this and their positive to negative numbers are insanely high. Hopefully, they just are not reporting the negative cases properly.

Jersey has three mobile testing sites up and is prepping a fourth. Jersey is definitely testing a lot more than most states.

This is reminding me of Birdbox when they went for groceries. Will he survive?!?!

I'm surprised India doesn't have a larger amount of positive cases.

I understand that this is the biggest metro area in the country, but damn, I would some other area would be close number wise.

Good to know! I’ve spent the past week without going out in public and I’m running low on some groceries. I’ll probably go to save on foods in the next couple days.

What has two thumbs, asthma and is still working in an office with approximately 25 other people in New York?

 

This probably-soon-to-be-dead guy :ohsnap:

 

 

We'll be dead together bro... at least you're there during regular hours. I have the 11 to 7 shift and when I get into the city I WALK the rest of the way to work because I refuse to step foot in the subways. It's like Escape From New York out there at night.

First one went up Friday. Most of these results are from before that.

 

We are going to be at way over 10k cases in NJ by Friday, I'd say.
