Will racism set off a second #COVID19 wave?

Angry commenters are trying to “gotcha” me on this tweet so let me be clear:
Yes, I condemned the anti-lockdown protests. Yes, I support the #BlackLivesMatter protests. No, those aren’t contradictory views. COVID is a public health emergency. So is racism. We need to fight both. https://t.co/ilZHpcS5Te

Good Morning.
Thanks for the update.
So. We are sending the drug that has proven to be a bust, for COVID-19, but is needed here,for the actual diseases that it REALLY HELPS, to another country.???

Malaysia’s daily numbers: 38 new cases. 12 cases from local infection, including six non-Malaysians; 26 imported cases, i.e. repatriated Malaysians. Total 7,857 cases.
51 more patients recovered, total 6,404 or 81.51% of all cases. Of 1,338 active cases, eight are in ICU of whom two are on ventilators. No deaths for the 10th straight day, total still 115. Infection fatality rate 1.46%, case fatality rate 1.76%.
DG of Health Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah says the challenge facing his ministry now is dealing with infection among foreign workers. Employers need to make sure that worker accommodation complies with existing law to prevent crowding and unhygienic conditions, while educating workers on social distancing and proper hygiene practices.

I heard a new crazy thing about COVID-19 this weekend. We went to a farm supply store to get some safflower seed for the bird feeders. I was talking to the clerk about COVID-19 changes, and she said they had to put a sign on the Ivomectin, which is a cow dewormer, because someone on the internet started telling people that they could take it to prevent COVID-19 infection!. She said people were coming in and asking about buying it for that. It’s insane the things people are willing to believe because they want a magic bullet cure so badly.

@Soprano2:
“The Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute’s Dr Kylie Wagstaff, who led the study, said the scientists showed that the drug, ivermectin, stopped the SARS-CoV-2 virus growing in cell culture within 48 hours.”
I think “cell culture” is probably the most significant part of that.

Viva Bris Vegas: You got it.
As someone who casually follows breast cancer research news, I can tell you that many BC “treatments” and “cures” that seem to work in test tubes, Petri dishes and mice, do not end up working in actual humans.
I can only assume the same will be true for many announcements of breakthroughs in COVID treatments. I don’t think scientists are an especially excitable bunch but the PR departments of their sponsoring institutions sure are.

My county had not had a new confirmed case for weeks. The paper says 40 days, but that sounds awfully high to me. We started opening up, with distancing and masks. Then last Friday a new case appeared. I think this is going to be around forever. Even after a vaccine.

@Miss Bianca: Trump is president. I think that answers that question.
