MVA believes their suit is necessary because the “ACLU, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon are on the same team,” and are trying to overthrow “160 years of the Minnesota Constitution.” 

Thank You, to the Guardian for this story. "Scientists working for the US military have designed a new Covid-19 test that could potentially identify carriers before they become infectious and spread the disease, the Guardian has learned.

In what could be a significant breakthrough, project coordinators hope the blood-based test will be able to detect the virus’s presence as early as 24 hours after infection – before people show symptoms and several days before a carrier is considered capable of spreading it to other people. That is also around four days before current tests can detect the virus."

Thank You, Kevin Roche, for your review of the Governor's little chat with his subjects yesterday.

“To date, the total number of reported patients treated with HCQ, with or without zinc and the widely used antibiotic azithromycin, is 2,333, writes AAPS, in observational data from China, France, South Korea, Algeria, and the U.S. Of these, 2,137 or 91.6 percent improved clinically. There were 63 deaths, all but 11 in a single retrospective report from the Veterans Administration where the patients were severely ill.”

There are 2-video interviews.

"The CDC has long been the steady, trusted source for high-quality national data and evidence-based guidance. But not this time, when its voice is needed the most."

This article is all about mortality rates. New York is the world leader in COVID-19 deaths per 100,000 or population. What, indeed, is the cause of all this mortality?  There is a very nice chart that shows the death rate / 100,000 for each State. See how your governor has done. Recommended.

"Update (13:15ET): The NIAD has released a statement on the Gilead remdesivir study. The statement repeated some of the numbers Dr. Fauci shared at the press conference - that patients who took remdesivir saw 31% faster time to recovery than the placebo group, while mortality rates "improved" to 8% from 11.6% an improvement of 3.6 percentage points, which Dr. Fauci acknowledged wasn't "statistically significant.""

See the first comment for an unencouraging update.

"Interesting timing all things considered…. Michael Flynn removed and replaced his prior legal defense counsel, Covington & Burling, after asserting their ineffective and legally conflicted representation. [NOTE: former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is a partner at Covington & Burling.] As a result of Sidney Powell taking over the Flynn defense, his prior counsel was supposed to turn over all client materials and evidence in the case."

"Three weeks ago on these pages, my colleague V.V. Chari and I asserted that a limited mass quarantine period would make sense only if we used the time it bought us to radically change the facts on the ground regarding our ability to test and trace. Thankfully, it appears our state has indeed used this time to increase its ability to test, trace, and isolate."
