We have a shot at a treatment. My BS. I don't own this stock. I just want life to return to normal. There are so many of you miserable people here. |

You want sports to return. You want card shows to return. You need news like this.

David, what you posted seems like good news indeed, and everyone wants to go back to normal (I am soooo over this and would give anything to have it end). But this is a baseball card forum, and as such, serves as a small escape from the craziness of the day. To that end, perhaps non-direct/off topic statements (especially regarding coronavirus) should be reserved for the water cooler section. Just a friendly suggestion, not intended to be a shot or inflammatory.

I thought you guys would find it encouraging that some news came out that increases our chances of getting back to normal and going to a card show. I would like to go to the National and I hope it takes place and unless we get some good news like this there is no shot it will. For anyone who is hoping to go this is a glimmer of hope and more importantly a glimmer of hope for the well being of the world. |

I dig and the info is good, but this thread/section just is not the place.
Meanwhile, I hope the National is still on; I would go (if my wife let me). But, I will bet dollars to dimes that there is no National this year. ![]() |

The idea that posting news that increases the chances it might take place is bad is beyond me. Whatever. |

As I understand it, this is a potential TREATMENT for sick people. If they are very sick in the hospital. Correct me if I’m wrong. Are you going to go to the National because someone says to you “hey, if you do get really sick and have to be hospitalized for a few weeks, there is now a good drug to treat you”. Uh, not me. I’ll avoid getting it altogether. Thanks. AIDS and Ebola have great treatment drugs. I don’t want them either.

This drug is curing people who are in really bad shape. Not the minor cases. No one wants to get this thing but the only way the economy recovers is if there is a way to not lose lives due to this outbreak and this gives people confidence to go out in public. There are countless pharmaceutical companies working day and night trying to get us to the other side of this issue. Plenty of people on this board make their living from trading cards and they need public interaction to return and disposable income to exist to maximize their business opportunity. There is a reason the stock market is cheering and the futures are exploding higher. Here don't believe me. One of the top market analysts for years. “An effective treatment is a huge deal and would create a path to open the economy and resume normal ‘social activities’ way sooner than a vaccine,” said Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors. “A treatment is safer and more scalable because it is only given to people who need to be treated.” Last edited by Dpeck100; 04-16-2020 at 07:55 PM. |

Will not speak for others but I live this threat every day. I am very motivated to stay up to date. I do not need some jerkoff telling me directly or indirectly how to respond to an off topic response, especially a hostile one, that is taking away from a hobby and diversion I truly need to stay sane. Go away.

In all seriousness, one of my virologist friends does think that remdesivir does show good potential, but is cautious in pumping it up as some miracle cure until the results from a number of clinical trials is available. And the Gilead results are very preliminary. I found a good article about the trial results that seems to take on the proper tone. Hopeful, but clear in that there is still a long way to go. And, for anyone familiar with the design of experiments, there is some language in there that will temper your enthusiasm. For example: Mullane, while encouraged by the University of Chicago data, made clear her own hesitancy about drawing too many conclusions. |

Rich made a post about the NSCC, which was interesting and timely. Why are you talking about stocks? Start a new thread in the Watercooler thread. In case you forgot, this is a vintage card forum.

There won't be any card shows without a treatment. It is very relevant. Not sure how you don't get this. |

Ya know David, it's no use commenting because everything turns political, radical, jerk offs jumping on the "other" side Etc.

Great news for all of us in real life and maybe live sports happen sooner rather than later and the card show in question might be able to move forward and it is bad. I am just glad I don't take the sanctity of a message board this seriously. Unreal. |

Thankfully we have already seen the peak and cases are tapering off. This drug by GILD has had incredible results and patients that were in horrible condition are improving in days and returning to their normal lives. We need stories like this to enable the economy and life to return. It isn't rocket science. There won't be conventions if there aren't treatments that work and the sooner the medical community can produce results the sooner we all can enjoy life again outside of our homes. |
