Gov. David Ige announced that a 14-day inter-island travel quarantine
will be in place starting August 11 to stop further spread to other islands.

"There is no question that the virus is surging," he said.
This is the last thing that we wanted to do ...

It's been very disappointing."

Joe Arpaio loses sheriff's race
in second FAILED comeback bid

Source: Associated Press
PHOENIX — Joe Arpaio on Friday was narrowly defeated in his bid to win
back the sheriff’s post in metro Phoenix that he held for 24 years before
being voted out in 2016 amid voter frustrations over his taxpayer-funded
legal bills, his penchant for self-promotion and a defiant streak that led
to his now-pardoned criminal conviction.

88 year old Arpaio lost the Republican primary for Maricopa County sheriff to 
his former top aide, Jerry Sheridan. In the Nov. 3 general election, Sheridan
will face Democrat Paul Penzone, who unseated Arpaio four years ago.

The loss marked Arpaio’s second failed attempt to return to politics.
He ran an unsuccessful primary campaign for U.S. Senate in 2018,
not long after President Donald Trump had pardoned his 2017 criminal
contempt of court conviction for disobeying a judge’s order in a racial
profiling case.

As metro Phoenix’s sheriff from 1992 through 2016, Arpaio rose to political
prominence by creating old-time chain gangs and housing inmates in tents
during triple-digit heat. But he is most well known for launching immigration
crackdowns, some of which contributed significantly to his political downfall.

U.S. senator:
Jim Harbaugh’s pay illustrates
‘civil rights crisis’ in college football

“I’m a huge sports fan,” Murphy continued. “I want college football back if it’s safe.
But COVID has exposed a civil rights crisis in big time college sports: unpaid kids —
mostly of color — risking their lives to make millions for adults — mostly WHITE.

“Unpaid (Michigan) football players are playing in the middle of a pandemic
to assure their coach can get his $7.5 million salary,” Murphy wrote.
“If Harbaugh made $1M instead, each player could get a $50K annual
stipend to help their families pay for rent, health care, etc.”
“This needs to change. NOW.”

Good try BUT your link leads to the JULY 03 release of a flawed "observational study"
by the same French team lead by Didier Raoult, that posted an earlier FLAWED French study.

As reported in Forbes at the time of the first FLAWED study by that French team:
Source: https://tinyurl.com/y4bphgmh
A peer review of Raoult’s original study deemed “irresponsible”

"... As reported in Le Parisien, he listed a ten-point critique on the
methodology used in Raoult’s study. For example, trials are usually
conducted for a minimum of 14 days; Raoult used 6 days and
a control group wasn’t used.

Rosendaal claimed that “this study suffers from major methodological
shortcomings which make it almost, if not completely, uninformative.”

He went further to say, “the tone of the report, presented as evidence
... is unfounded... and, given the desperate demand for treatment for
Covid-19, coupled with the potentially serious side effects of
hydroxychloroquine, totally irresponsible”.

More recently, July 16 article posted in WIRED:

Hydroxychloroquine Still Doesn’t Do Anything, New Data Shows
https://www.wired.com/story/hydroxychloroquine-still-doesnt-do-anything-new-data-shows/

Two more studies prove that
the much-hyped antimalarial doesn’t treat Covid-19.

"The so-called gold standard of drug trials is called an RCT, short for
Randomized Controlled Trial. "

The first French study by that team and the second "observational"
study by that same French team did NOT follow this scientific protocol.
Therefore inconclusive, at best.

The most recent evidence has been reviewed by Adm. Brett Giroir,
a member of trump's WH coronavirus task force, AUG 02:

“ At this point in time, there’s been five randomized controlled, placebo
 controlled trials, that do not show any benefit to hydroxychloroquine,”
 Giroir said. “So at this point in time, we don’t recommend that as a treatment.”

(CNN) Leaders from college sports' "Power Five" conferences discussed
postponing the football season and other fall sports over the weekend
amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to reports from multiple
sports news outlets including ESPN, Sports Illustrated and CBS Sports,
who all cited several sources.
No decision has been reached yet, and the discussions are expected
to continue over the next few days.
"It's an ongoing conversation we've been having for weeks,"
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told CBS Sports on Sunday night.

A Democratic New York City Councilman says hydroxychloroquine saved his life after a near-fatal run-in with COVID-19 in March.

Paul Vallone, who represents northeast Queens, took the drug along with a standard Z-pack — given for bacterial infections — and came back from the brink almost immediately.

“I couldn’t breathe, very weak, couldn’t get out of bed. My doctor prescribed it. My pharmacy had it. Took it that day and within two to three days I was able to breathe,” Vallone told The Post. “Within a week I was back on my feet.”

Hydroxychloroquine “worked for me.”

Vallone’s brother Peter, a former City Councilman and a current civil court judge in Queens, also became a convert after his brother’s illness.

“I guess all those doctors who are prescribing it are right. This drug is already on the market and the patent is up so it’s cheap. A new drug won’t be. So big money does not want this drug to be used. Always follow the money,” Peter Vallone said in a May 12 Facebook post, sharing a link to an NYU study touting the drug.

A good news story!

Great for that one person!

Of course research has shown, in various scientifc endeavors over decades, that at times,

occasionally *some* getting a placebo actually show marked improvement.

It's weird but it DOES happen from time to time.

Are we to believe THAT is the cure?  LOL

Heart condition  linked with COVID-19
fuels Power 5 concern about season's viability

A rare heart condition that could be linked with the coronavirus is fueling concern
among Power 5 conference administrators about the viability of college sports this fall.

Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, has been found in at least five
Big Ten Conference athletes and among several other athletes in other conferences,
according to two sources with knowledge of athletes' medical care.

The condition is usually caused by a viral infection, including those that cause
the common cold, H1N1 influenza or mononucleosis. Left undiagnosed and untreated,
it can cause heart damage and sudden cardiac arrest, which can be fatal. It is a rare
condition, but the COVID-19 virus has been linked with myocarditis with a
higher frequency than other viruses, based on limited studies and anecdotal
evidence since the start of the pandemic.

"What we don't know was really haunting us, and that's why we came
to our final decision," Northern Illinois athletic director Sean Frazier said.
"That's part of the data that our presidents used. This mom gave us
a play-by-play. That stuff is extremely scary."

Mountain West Conference postponed fall sports season

The Mountain West is postponing its fall sports season because of concerns
surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, the conference announced Monday.

"We were hopeful we could carefully and responsibly conduct competition
as originally scheduled with essential protocols in place," Mountain West
commissioner Craig Thompson said in a statement. "However, numerous
external factors and unknowns outside our control made this difficult decision
necessary.

The Mountain West is the second FBS conference to postpone football
and other fall sports, joining the Mid-American Conference, which voted
to do so Saturday morning. A source said the postponement is indefinite,
though the Mountain West will look to the spring as an option for football
and other fall sports.

The Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences

UMass cancels 2020 fall football season due to coronavirus concernsave Green

NBC Sports Boston

David Green 

As major conferences from around the country try to figure out their plans for fall sports, UMass has already made a decision: there will be no football season this fall.

"After consulting with university, state and public health officials, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 UMass football season," athletic director Ryan Bamford said in a statement. "We have been in constant communication with university leadership and our football staff since March, with the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff remaining our top priority. The continuing challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic posed too great of a risk, and we reached the conclusion that attempting to play a season would not have placed the members of our program in the safest situation possible." 

According to the UMass website, football team members had reported back to Amherst in June in preparation for the fall season, and after over 600 COVID-19 tests, the program had only seen one positive test result. Players were informed of the season's cancellation on Tuesday.

"We are absolutely heartbroken for our players, our former players, our alumni and our UMass Football community," said UMass football head coach Walt Bell on Twitter. "Our job as coaches and mentors is to provide opportunities for our players, and do everything in our power to not take them away. Today's news was devastating, but we will be resilient and prepared to be our best when our best is required."

Though UMass won't play any games this fall, the school isn't eliminating the chance of football being played during the 2020-21 academic year. Bamford says UMass remains hopeful of conducting "a competitive schedule for our fall sports in the 2021 spring semester."

UMass, which is a FBS independent, follows in the footsteps of UConn, which cancelled its fall football season last week. The two schools had originally been slated to open the season against each other on September 3.

UK crashes into deepest recession
of any major economy

CNN Business, AUG 12

UK economic output shrank by 20.4% in the second quarter of 2020,
the worst quarterly slump on record, pushing the country into the
deepest recession of any major global economy.

Conservative PM in UK, Boris Johnson, unfortunately followed the
FAILURE of trump's model of defiance and look where it got them.
Even Johnson got infected and sick. Reality is a b!tch. The worst part is
innocent victims have to suffer from those mistakes.

UK is one of only 5 European countries (with at least 4 million pop)
that have a WORSE death rate than the US.
At least 22 European countries handled it much better!

According to Worldometers chart https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
there are 129 nations with at least 4 million pop, and from those,
only 7 nations are performing worse than the trump regime,
while 121 others are grateful they have responsible governments.

trump's regime ranked 8th WORST in pandemic response

trump himself ranked bottom 5 of all US presidents (before pandemic!)

Late to shut down, first to reopen,
Georgia reports its highest daily death toll

USA TODAY, AUG. 13

Among the last states to institute a shelter-in-place order and the first
to reopen businesses, Georgia is now seeing a rising number of
COVID-19-related deaths. The state reported 136 deaths Tuesday –
its most in a single day since the beginning of the pandemic –
and another 109 deaths Wednesday, according to the state's department
of health.
Dr. Harry Heiman, a professor at Georgia State University's School of
Public Health, said that with high numbers of hospitalizations and
full ICUs in regions across the state, the death rate is likely to continue rising.

"Georgia is very much the poster child for what happens when
Gov. leadership take a hands-off approach to managing a pandemic,"
Heiman said. "There are clear policies and practices that we know
work to control this pandemic. Candidly, we’re not doing any of
those things in our state."

There aren't enough schools playing
to have fall championships this year,
NCAA president says

From CNN's Jabari Jackson

NCAA President Mark Emmert says that no fall sports championships
can happen due to lack of participation among schools amid the
Covid-19 pandemic. The only exception is “FBS football," he said.

"We cannot, now at this point, have fall NCAA championships because
we don't have enough schools participating,” said Emmert in a preview
of Thursday’s Social Series. “The NCAA board of governors has decided
that if you do not have at least half of the schools participating you
cannot have a legitimate championship. So, we can't in any Division 1
NCAA championship sport have a champion in the fall, which is
everything except FBS football in the fall."

Using bold and large lettering.... You sound like this is something that makes you happy ...shameful,that the deaths of Americans is something that you rejoice in...
