Thats easy. Let em dock and test every one of them. Let the healthy ones go home and the sick ones stay and serve out their quarantine.
About fucking time FDA!

The FDA gave emergency approval to a Trump administration plan to distribute millions of doses of anti-malarial drugs to hospitals across the country on Monday, saying it is worth the risk of trying unproven treatments to try and slow the progression of the disease.
Absolutely infuriating. Buncha overcautious govt bean counters.
well, how about fuck the FDA? why do I need their permission to take medications that are already in widespread use and being prescribed for a host of ailments? sounds more like the FDA establishment bureaucracy doing it's damnedest let everyone know who has the biggest cock and to make the Executive branch look inept. all at the expense of the health and welfare of millions of Americans. If you are foolish enough to rely on government to take care of you, then you deserve the miserable fate that awaits you.

When I first read reports out of SK and Italy about Chloroquine I tried to find somewhere to purchase it online. To my amazement, I needed a prescription. I considered some of the online pharmacies with their own telehealth doctor but didn't really trust any of them as it's hard to distinguish the fakes from China and Russia with bogus drugs.
Well we still got people gathering in large groups around the country - just to dunb to live i guess - sure puts everyone at a higher risk - when the navy hospital ship docked in NY large groups gathered on the dock to welcome it - smh

For some good news. It appear as though the daily case rate has decellerated despite the increased availability of tests. This is a great sign. It means that quarantine and social distancing is working.
Unfortunately we still do not have a preventive or or something to lessen severity besides a massive unsustainable lockdown. A lockdown is designed to buy you time to come up with a prophylactic or something to reduce the severity. I haven't seen anything yet and we're a long ways away from herd immunity or a vaccine. If we open things back up without that the cases will simply resume their upward trend.

With the telecheck system the healthcare is using, most wont be tested unless hospitalization happens.

Today’s presser...Dewine is working with Ohio based companies to produce Ohio’s ventilators as an alternative to battling the other States for them. “Like” 
wow, what a novel idea. find local companies to produce what you need locally. DeWine is a friggin' genius. my snark notwithstanding, I think it's a very good approach.
