Redwood asks valid questions, some answers would be nice



How many placed on a ventilator subsequently recover?

What trials have now been completed of existing drugs that might help?

How do doctors work out whether a death was the result of Covid 19 or some other condition the patient suffered from?

Which if any of the named drugs do show potential? Do they have to be administered from first discovering the presence of the virus?

Most of redwoods "questions" have already been answered and are in fact common knowledge to those willing to do a little research.

Treating the virusBy JOHNREDWOOD | Published: APRIL 9, 2020I am not a doctor and am not about to propose how to treat this virus. I am however willing to give a day and a blog to inviting comments from those who are or those who think they understand the medical issues sufficiently to comment on what is happening. It would be useful if qualified contributors would mention their qualification.  The true  end of the crisis comes  by finding a cure or a vaccine or both. Nothing on this site is medical advice for any individual and anyone needing treatment should of course seek professional advice.Buying time by restricting the  spread of the virus is a very good strategy if we use that time to find a cure or vaccine. Clearly much resource is going into just that all round the world. Some argue  that there are already treatments and preventative measures that can help.Some say Chloroquine or Remdesivir could play a role. Others favour Ritonavir and lopinavir with or without interferon beta.  Some urge the case of azithromycin.  President Trump recently did more than send best wishes to Boris, by instructing two US companies to contact the PM's doctors to recommend treatments they think could help.Some say bigger doses of Vitamin C help build resistance and fight back against the virus.The official treatment seems to include doses of oxygen when impaired lung functions leave the patients with low oxygen levels in the blood, and the capacity to operate organs as well as the lungs in intensive care if fighting the disease causes too many strains on them. Questions it would be good to have answered includeHow many placed on a ventilator subsequently recover?What trials have now been completed of existing drugs that might help? How do doctors work out whether a death was the result of Covid 19 or some other condition the patient suffered from?Which if any of the named drugs do show potential? Do they have to be administered from first discovering the presence of the virus?

World Trade Organisation (WTO) warns of a 2020 slump of a third

buywell thinks 25%



Also interesting chart of this current Covid drop V 2008 financial crisis indicates very close chart shapes ( trading algorithms )

buywell is of the opinion following that pattern a market drop of another 20% is now imminent

IMO dyor

Yes I hope he pulls through. That RNS late on re C$ Buyback, I must admit to wondering if the monies destined for our dividend were part of this transaction ?

From Brexit Watch

Tonight's tempting tea-time treats
This evening we have a bumper issue as we have today published four powerful articles that highlight just how serious are the problems now being faced by the EU following the Coronavirus pandemic. Be it the health, business, financial or strategic responses the EU is being found wanting – and yet there are some that argue we need to extend the transition. Our articles explain why the reverse is true, so please read on.

These are very challenging times indeed and we especially send out our heartfelt thoughts and best wishes to our Prime Minister, his partner Carrie and his family.

EU not bearing gifts: how the reported £50bn aid to UK business is no such thing
- by Ewen Stewart

Using the EU Commission website as the source, it is clear the claim by some in the media that the EU is supporting British business is, to use a technical term, baloney. The reality is exactly the opposite. Not one single penny of EU money is involved. read more...

My toms are coming up great. First time i've grown them for yonks was last year, after several years of them getting blight (everyone's around here, such a cruel disease, just on the day you want to pick them, they develop horrible flat brown areas). A mate got a blight free variety, and they emerged blight free and i got given a few of his crop. Saved the seeds last year and got a great blight free crop. Same again this year from seeds saved from last years crop. Planted in Halos, which are amazing.

[k38] 08/4/2020 17:42

Good news from Boris too.

"US intelligence warned of Cataclysmic Coronavirus ciris as impeachment dominated headlines"

If only the US intelligence community hadn't gone to war with Trump "six ways from Sunday," and were instead operating in alignment with the sitting President, this emerging threat would have been dealt with sooner.

Perhaps if the NSC and the Democrats hadn't been distracted with a partisan boondoggle to remove Trump, measures could have been taken earlier to better prepare America from the emerging threat.
