    Idiots blaming non-existent Democrat voter fraud for why the Wisconsin Supreme Court and US Supreme Court put the entire voting populous in WI at risk? Luckily (and hopefully), no one takes morons like that seriously.

    The Wisconsin Supreme Court made their decision because they'd be likely out on their asses with a progressive turnout. USSC made their decision because it's what deal leader would've wanted.

    Trump Has ‘Small,’ ‘Distant Link’ To Sanofi, French Drugmaker Of Hydroxychloroquine

    Topline: President Trump—increasingly a booster of hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for coronavirus, has a “small personal financial interest” in Sanofi, a French drugmaker that produces a brand-name version of the drug—though it might be tiny investment for the billionaire.

    • Sanofi produces Plaquenil, the brand-name form of hydroxychloroquine, the New York Times reported; the drug is typically used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and malaria.
    • Trump’s three family trusts have investments in a Dodge & Cox mutual fund, with Sanofi as the largest holding, according to the Times.
    • Forbes estimates the value of Trump’s Sanofi holdings to be less than $3,000.
    • Billionaire Ken Fisher, a major Republican donor (including to Trump) is one of Sanofi’s largest shareholders, while Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross used to run a fund that invested in Sanofi, the Times reported.
    • Trump in recent weeks has promoted the drug as coronavirus swept through America, but hydroxychloroquine’s effectiveness against COVID-19 has not been conclusively proven in scientific studies.
    • Hydroxychloroquine, the Washington Post reported Monday, has serious side effects, including a possible risk of irregular heartbeats, when COVID-19 is causing a heart infection in some of the most seriously ill patients.
    • A Sanofi spokesperson told the Times that the company no longer sells or distributes Plaquenil in the U.S., but does sell the drug internationally.

    Bruh, Trump is trying to save lives by promoting a drug that many studies and cases show could offer relief. And you are trying to make the case that a $3000 investment through a mutual fund creates a conflict of interest for him? Laughable. Your arguments are just plain terrible and illogical.

    If you were one of my employees, I'd tell you to go clean the stalls.

    T_J, while I wish HCQ/AZT was a silver bullet the data is actually not compelling. Sadly the data for most of the tried therapies is not compelling right now. That isn’t to say we don’t have patients enrolled in trials for the different medications, but nothing is jumping out as a winner yet when actually applying rigorous methodology. I wish it was a magic bullet and all this could be over.

    Thanks for sharing but I was posting about the ruling regarding postponing the election not absentee ballots.

    Yep, as crazy as it sounds, this country has bigger issues than the Coronovirus.

    One party is actively trying to destroy democracy.

    It would be interesting to know how many people have actually been tested vs how many tests have been conducted. Also the distribution of multiple test (i.e. # of people tested 1x , 2x, 3x, 4x etc) would also be of interest.

    This is a test case for November no doubt. Prior there were 180 polling locations in Milwaukee. Today there are FIVE open. However in rural communities all polling locations are open for business.

    Who was it that said "Never let a good tragedy go to waste"??... You just know that Trump and his schemers are planning everything they can to use the Coronavirus to their benefit to stay in power come November. I think you are going to see every red state do everything in their power to restrict voting in cities. Houston/Harris county I would predict will be the epicenter of what we see. Greg Abbott is a Trumper and a schemer, but he is smarter than most of his colleagues in the party. Houstonians need to be prepared for whats coming in a few months.

    Have they changed the rules???

    On last check only those with symptoms could be tested.. So we have no ideal of how many people have actually been infected or infected right now...

    Some people get the privilege of being tested even if asymptomatic (e.g. rand paul, NBA) and some have been tested multiple times.

    The idea was not necessarily to know how many people have been infected ( cos people can be infected even after testing) but to get a handle of how many people have actually been tested and not just the number of test conducted. There is a big difference between 1 million people tested and 1 million tests consisting of 100k people each tested 10x.

    They could but John Roberts is a piece of ****. Brett Kavanaugh is a piece of ****. Samuel Alito is a piece of ****. Clarence Thomas is a piece of ****. Abraham Gorsuch is a piece of ****. And all Wisconsin Republicans are a giant cheese wheel of ****.

    **** those guys, if any of these people die of COVID19 it is because of them.
