They might have taken or done something wrong, because this chloroquine is something of which quite some experts have already said it might not specifically help cure COVID-19, but it's a medicine with a pretty good safety record. There are of course others with way more side effects and worse results.

 

All in a mess. A president gave the wrong advice. Citizens follow the advice given. A citizen died. Pretty sad tale.

Yeah, a little disclaimer should be (as the experts also say) to only take stuff like this on doctor's advice, like most medicines. It's not by definition a dangerous drug, but if you're not a trained professional you might just not know what you're doing.

The president also plan to test this drug on people as well to see it works out or not. So we may see more death after this? Ha ha.

That is not as ridiculous as people make it sound. If you've got an absolute emergency situation, and you are in desperate need of a medicine...and there are hundreds (and soon maybe thousands) of people basically just waiting to die, it is at some point not entirely impossible to understand testing these medicines on people for whom there is basically no hope already anymore. It doesn't make it any less sad, but there could well be a scenario where that is pretty much the only option left - apart from waiting for a way, way longer time and by doing so losing thousands and thousands of more people.

Yes you are right too. Lots of countries are racing against time to find the vaccine for Coronavirus.

When China suffered from the virus most, there always rumors spreading every now and then saying XXX is an effective medicine and causing people panic buying that medicine. While doctors clarified some medicines are effective for some patients but not a single one medicine is a universal functioning one. All medicine is helping your immune system and other direct damaged organs, at last it still counts on yourself.

You are right about this part.

Exactly why people should follow doctor's orders.

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.   If Eitrem has the same form over long distances as he does over 1500 metres, he will dominate this season, not Ghiotto or Roest.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
