Surgeon General: 'We Can Turn This Thing Around in 2 to 3 Weeks'

 Yes, coronavirus case counts are going up in many localities, "and we are absolutely concerned about that," U.S. Surgeon-General Dr. Jerome Adams told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday.

But he also said the spike in cases -- most notably in Texas, Florida and Arizona -- may recede as quickly as they've gone up:

"The disease course is about two to three weeks," Adams said:

    So, just as we've seen cases skyrocket, we can turn this thing around in two to three weeks, if we can get a critical mass of people wearing face coverings, practicing at least six feet of social distancing, doing the things that we know are effective.

    And it's important for the American people to understand, when we're talking about the fall, we have the ability to turn that around very quickly if people will do the right thing.

Adams said the nation has come a long way since the first COVID cases were diagnosed here in late January and early February:

    Number one, we are in a very different place than what we were in February and March. We have an over 300 percent increase in available PPE. And that's not to say mission accomplished, but we are in a better place.

    We have from Remdesivir, steroids, convalescent plasma, all of which mean that, if you actually get diagnosed with COVID, your chance of dying from it is significantly lower than what it was in February and March. And that's important for the American people to know...........

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

He should be the face of the Administration, IMO, not the jokers that we've seen over the past several months.

He had appeared at times with both Fauci and Birx at the press briefings but he seems to be sending a good message with this.

Remdesivir is being used in my area hospitals but it was recently reported that they are running very low.  Also, they are trying to get people to donate plasma, but are not having much luck.

We don't have a cure all that's for sure and what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another.

If only everybody will wear their masks....

IDIOTS. If it works at all, that is prolonging the virus. If nobody wore masks and nobody quarantined (except those at risk of course) THEN it would be over in a month or so - and the two weeks thing is nonsense... There is incoming and outgoing iterations that will make that longer.

My great nephew was diagnosed with covid 3 days ago and my niece (his mom) 2 days ago.  We are in TX and they were both given the  hcq/azith/zinc regimen. They already feel better. No need to get the government involved, just let the MD's do their job.

That is fine with me, too. I hope they both have full recoveries.

If that hadn't been so seriously attacked by the medicaal establishment, who acted as if they hadn't heard a word of Dr. Zelenko's video, (and might not have), then tens of thousands of lives might have been saved and millions of dollars in hospital bills avoided.

Even now, freely making that regimen available to people with early symptoms might remove any need/justificaation for lockdowns and permit the economy to get back on track.

It would be fair to wonder if it weren't by design... Mighty convenient, all these ginned up riots. the correlation to the thing waking up again where it had been done and nearly gone, I don't think that is a coincidence.

Of course it isn't coincidence. The assault on Dr Zelenko and hydroxychloroquine is simply because an easy, inexpensive, and effective early onset treatment not only undercut the need for expensive and novel vaccines, but immediately removed the need for panic. The whole idea that you'd take the medicine, recover in a few days, and not have to fear mortal danger flew in the face of the objective: to make as much of a mess of America as possible before the elections in November.

On this I suspect we will disagree, but here goes. When this great an effort has been made, not just against America, not just against our liberty, but to remove the current POTUS as well (because with him in the way, their plans will be thwarted or at least not allowed to proceed), we have indeed arrived at a critical juncture.

By whatever means necessary, the Communists must be defeated. While you might not consider the alternative pretty, failure to do so will certainly bring about the "fundamental change" that Obama and his fellow lackeys were seeking, and the great uneducated masses out there are a wild card. Not the ones on the great Welfare Plantation, of whom many are already lost in a fever of racial hatred they have little clue about in historical context (or else much of it would not exist presently, only anger at injustices of the past none can do anything about), but those who have no clue what the socialism they embrace would mean for their futures under the yoke of Communist totalitarianism.
They simply don't know the history of that, or think somehow they'd end up in the elite.

But, more on topic, this is the putsch, there are no coincidences, only flaws in timing, and I firmly believe that the Communists have grossly underestimated American resolve, at least from the perspective of a High Plains Redneck.

I don't think it is about the election - Again, it is world-wide. No doubt the election adds into it, but it is bigger than that. I think the attempt largely failed, and in that, is becoming merely about the election.
Even so, though, the actions taken in the riots and virus both are largely limited to liberal areas - Even here, larger cities are liberal and even some towns are liberal enclaves... Whitefish, about 15 miles north of me, is one such liberal enclave, and they are voting to require masks everywhere inside city limits, whereas Kalispell and the even more redneck Columbia Falls have no such mandates considering there are less than ten active cases in the whole county, and they are accounted for.

The point being that only the liberals are effected, even as the riots only hit the liberal areas... So they are mainly sh*tting where they eat, and it may well backfire on them. Average Joe Blue-collar and his wife sure can't be happy with what is going on  in their cities.

Yeah, I disagree entirely. One man is not stopping anything. He is merely the illusion of stopping anything... both sides create separation, in the Hegelian format, seeking a future synthesis.
Nothing has stopped.

'Whatever means' is exactly the problem. 'Whatever means' are not going to stop anything. That's the same dumb way of thinking that fills Republicans with RINOs. The ONLY means that will stop them is to insist upon Conservative representation. Demand the only thing that WILL stop it dead - Actual and principled opposition.

Yep.  This is why our politicians are trying to ban it from the public.  They are owned by Big Pharma.  Remdesivir is not as successful in treating CV.  There are nasty side effects as well.  Some patients are permanently damaged from the side effects.

The Zelenko Protocol costs around $30 to cure.  Remdesivir costs $$$ thousands!  Up to $30,000 for your treatment!

And we may well be there - I do know that we WILL arrive there, because that is in fact the nexus point... The even horizon... If we are not willing to fight for liberty, tooth and nail, we will certainly lose it, as has happened literally over and over again in history.

It is aastonishingly clear, the "experts" have little or no credibilility.

The SG says 2-3 weeks. Gov. Gavin Mussolini shuts down several counties' gyms, indoor dining, barbers/ nails, etc.

Sen Rand Paul sounds very sane, citing other countries with schools opened safely.

I want "transparency" with the data &  "algorithms" being used by Governors to lockdown, unlock, order masks, etc.
