I think the reason hydroxychloroquin as been soft peddled up until now is that the availability of this drug has been very limited. This drug is only used for a small patient cohort. Some rheumatoid arthritis patients and some lupus patients. So the amount of the drug in the pipeline is small. Enough to service these patients. Supplies are now being brought on board.

Great we should tax the fats. If you're bmi is over 30 and a man, or over 33 and a woman, you pay an extra 10% of your income to cover your inevitable health issues.

I think we do need some sort of insurance because we can't know how our health will progress through our lives. We can take all the precautions in the world and still have complications. Luckily those people would be outliers in a fair system, unfortunately the system is not fair and administrative bloat and fraud force insurance to be expensive. Still you should be responsible for your own health, you will invariably do a better job than the government ever could.

A lot of diabetic folks are skinny. Skinny folks should be taxed because they may end up anemic.

Being underweight is also dangerous. Like most things, there's an ideal tolerance range. Engines need some clearance space to function properly, as long as the engine clearance is within a range there's no problem. I take the same approach to people, proper socialization has to operate within a range of tolerances.

"seed oils are also a problem" this is news to me. Do you mean palm nut, or seeds in general?

Taxing the fats as in fat people. I wholeheartedly agree with your nutritional assertion. See the shit I cook and tell me I don't believe that good fats are essential to diet.

It could what if they also make it so people with healthy BMI get a small break on their taxes. Go down one tax bracket if your BMI is 25 or lower.
You may not stop all the fats, but it may encourage some to make the step towards better health. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind, so there could be positive social consequences if our health as a country improved.

Right. We have the cure but people are still allowed to die? More fishy shit.

It's their crisis and Trump is basically ending it prematurely. They still need time to cash out. I love it when the arrogant's plans neither go to plan or according to schedule.

Remember the GE-Piglosi handshake snub at the SOTU? Could she have been trying to give him Coronu and he knew it?
