[Vhfcn-l] COVID-19 Opinion

[Jerry Feldman]

I don't think a lot of the stats the main media is posting is false.
The rural areas are going to significantly lag populated areas.

We certainly need much more tests. We also need to find effective
treatments. With the current state of testing, the data is not accurate.
Currently there are about 2 million cases, but that is probably under
reported. Doctors on the front lines are trying many different treatments.
What we don't need is misinformation, such as hydroxychloroquine. Because
of the misinformation, people who have the diseases that hydroxychloroquine
can treat are having difficulty finding meds
