    We have a new problem now.

    The last days there are thousands of european "tourists" who come to tiny greek islands to escape the pandemic.

    Italian, German and French mostly.

    Many of them own summer houses and bring their whole families and friends.

    They don't understand that if they bring the virus with them and the islands get sick there is no salvage with island hospitals.

    That's why we are going to stop every flight from every country including EU from Sunday.

    This island with the "tourists" has only 2 doctors. If the pandemic hits, the flight and ferry connection may stop too .I guess they rather die looking at this than stay in their home.

    Don't come here because the result is we are just going to die all together.

    BTW If I am reading this right and I don't have hallucinations yet, ITALY gave to USA 500.000 corona tests yesterday.

    WTF?
    Has america stooped so low to get freebies from the country that is dying?

    Get your **** together!

    Maybe in exchange for masks, suits and other equipment, would need more information there.

    When someone gives help to Italy they publicly thank them. And you don't think that Trump would advertise it "we are saving Italy? "
    But nope.
    Quietly flew 500.000 tests from Italy "a significant move in Memphis "

    Shameful!
    And I thought the american CDC didn't like the WHO and german tests and they wanted to make their own? :rolleyes:
    NOW they take them from Italy?

    China officially recommended the use of avigan. It has been around for almost 20 years. Availability is its issue.

    Chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine has been around since the 40s and is well understood from a safety profile. It is cheap and widely available. It was recommended against SARS as a preventative and a treatment and it has quickly shown promise against covid 19 in China.

    Obviously we don’t know everything with these drugs and covid19 but at the same time we are basically doing meatball surgery. We don’t need things to be perfect. I think I saw Bayer was going to donate a large amount of chloroquine to the US.

    Simple vitamin D supplements have also been shown to be beneficial against respiratory infections as well. It’s too bad people will probably overdose on it if you tell them to take it everyday though.

    Yeah, Malakas is getting emotional.

    The ordinary folk is not briefed in any capacity when the Trump administration decides to take actions.

    Yeah hate to see someone already so stressed out, and justifiably so, but this easily the most stressed out poster here further working themselves up so much over such less relevant details than what I thought was their main source of concern. Blame, predictions, credit... thank you's?!

    We all voted, and collectively decided we will NOT be thanking Italy mwahahaha!

    Oh?
    You are insulted by calling you shameful but you are not EMBARASSED by taking the food from the starving person?:rolleyes:

    The richest country in the world, goes to the sickest country and takes their resources.

    Why not go and rob Rwanda too?
    Let me see you help Italy.
    This is Italy :


    There is not enough place to put the coffins.

    Since you are so good and rich and you reciprocate, reciprocate now.

    Oh please..if it was China instead that went now to take the tests from Italy, everyone here would be blaming them and calling them shameful.:rolleyes:
    But because it is the US shhh we are not responsible don't call a spade a spade!

    A citizen can be embarassed by the actions of his country.

    This is shameful and embarassing by the richest and "best" country in the world.
