Now that we're obliged to care about Corona-chan again, doesn't it seem strange that the organs of science haven't really recommended any at-home preventatives or treatments?

It's been the better part of a year. You'd think SCIENCE! would be able to help us on this

There's been some online word-of-mouth, like that NSAIDs are a bad idea, and maybe you should be popping quercetin and zinc, and getting vitamin D, etc

But the central regime isn't really providing any useful info to the people (other than that HCQ will kill you in your bed)

I don't even have some hyper-based or conspiratorial take on this. I just think it's legitimately strange that a culture with a core value of SCIENCE! can't seem to... provide any practical at-home science to its citizens

Feels like another sign of stagnation and collapse

Exactly what's on my mind. We are no longer nimble enough to provide solutions that may be low-key but are certainly no-harm if later proven false

It's like a perverse paralysis of expertise where elites would rather risk lives than being trivially wrong https://twitter.com/TabulaFour/status/1311934405762527235
