Just google hydroxychloroquine production
here are two local news stories from California and Michigan about results and how doctors are using it.

it seems to be working. At least according to doctors on the front lines. I don't think we can afford to wait several months for the trial data. But that's just me.

But couldn't 18 months or 2 years be considered quick?A year
It's to stop you from infecting others if you have it and don't know it. So wearing the mask is not for your protection but everyone else's. That's why they are saying cloth masks like bandanas and whatnot are effective for this.

Except most teeshirts are made from fabric that's at least slightly stretchy, thus the comfort factor. The "give" doesn't keep a firm shape in place and will tend to fall or drag down.I ordered a couple of neck gaiters/buffs that I can fold up and create an extra layer. Easier to put on than a bandanna/cloth and also washable.
Wish this directive would have been out there earlier. You could find an old Tshirt or pillow case and make a 'mask'.

Thanks for the clarification. I was confused by your statements previously.The messenger in question said we only had 15 cases and soon we'd have zero, but yeah I'm sure he meant we'd have a vaccine in two years when he said we'd have it very quickly.

I think a big part of wearing a mask is it reminds you to not touch your face. Most experts still think the vast majority of virus transmissions are from someone getting the virus on their hand, then touching their eyes nose or mouth. Here is what I think people should do for going to the store:I'm still somewhat confused over the change in recommendation on masks. They started by saying they can't protect you, but now that protection is better than nothing. But it sounds like they think it'll be extra protection for the asymptomatic carriers.
I'll probably wear one next time I go to the grocery store. I've been washing my hands before and after getting groceries; sounds like they recommend washing cloth masks after you go out.
Should we wear our balaclavas when we go to do our banking? Or is that still frowned upon?
If somebody is infected, and touches their mask while grocery shopping, then touches anything subsequently, it's not hard to imagine at all. Asian-Americans and Asians in general are much more aware of the proper use of masks compared to your average American Wal Mart shopper. You rarely see them touching their mask, face, etc.I'm guessing 80% of the people in LA are wearing masks out on the street or in stores now, probably 50% have been for 3+ weeks now. Asian community has been for years here.
LA is doing better per capita than most large cities, I imagine SF/Seattle has a similar pro-mask culture with their asian community and is doing ok despite being the first places an outbreak occurred. It's hard to imagine masks make it worse.
it could but Trump was framing it as an option to help us short term, or else just using an existing vaccine(which isn't a thing).But couldn't 18 months or 2 years be considered quick?
Where has it been stated by anyone that a vaccine is coming quickly? I don't think I've seen anything that indicated something could be ready with any accurate indication of "when".
Funny.
The serious answer would be that a lot of banks have closed their lobbies and are operating drive thru only, which A) means no need for a mask, and B) would be much harder to rob.
Right, and that nuance is lost on our culture. It’s the same driver as social distancing was slow to be accepted.It's to stop you from infecting others if you have it and don't know it.
