If the country actually hits the 20% unemployment number that the worst predictions are showing, that puts 70 million people out of work. And that doesn't even account for all the small businesses that will go bankrupt.

The suicide rate during the Great Depression was 22 per 100,000. Assuming similar rates, which is reasonable given that the suicide rate tends to trend with the economy, that's about 77,000 suicides a year. Throw in things like increased homelessness, starvation, etc and you could be looking at hundreds of thousands of deaths anyway over the next decade, if not more. Striking a balance between social separation and economic recovery isn't just about choosing between saving lives and saving rich people's retirement funds, and it shows either malicious intent or gross ignorance to imply it is.

Wait Dragon scales? I got a scale from an ice dragon on a mountain when I freed it from the purple goop. It dropped a scale when I shot an arrow at its head which I placed on a shrine. Are you saying I can get more scales? Gonna check if that dragon is still there (it flew away after I shot at it)

Dragons reliably appear at certain times of day in certain places. There is an extremely efficient strategy where you can rest at a bonfire, get like 5 or 6 scales, and then just rest at the bonfire again and repeat.

The reasons to engage with random mobs are the following:

1) Silver and higher enemies are a great way to farm jewels (and therefore Rupees).
2) You need a lot of monster parts to upgrade some armors.
3) They are a good way to acquire more weapons if you're fighting efficiently.
4) Trading them in to Kilton for the stuff he sells.

If you aren't interested in those things I could see why it's not worth it. But honestly half the time they're easier to just kill than run away from.

1. If I'm trying to farm for rupees it's still more efficient to just farm dragon scales.
3. Don't need to farm for weapons if you're not using weapons, but the hidden cache in the desert by one of the towers and the weapons trials shrines always kept me fully stocked.

2 and 4 are great points though.

That said, a number of different clinical studies are currently in progress all over the world, and in the U.S., the National Institutes of Health is looking to fill a 400-volunteer study that will provide clinical results related to use of remdesivir, an antiviral drug developed by Gilead originally as a treatment for Ebola, but its still only in clinical trials even for treatment of that disease. This study could also add other drug candidates as additional test therapies. Meanwhile, studies in China and France have examined the effectiveness of anti-malarial drugs, including chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine including one small-scale study that suggests the positive effects of hydroxycholoroquine in reducing both the duration and symptoms of COVID-19 in combination with an antibiotic called azithromycin.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/therapeutic-options.html

Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are oral prescription drugs that have been used for treatment of malaria and certain inflammatory conditions. Chloroquine has been used for malaria treatment and chemoprophylaxis, and hydroxychloroquine is used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and porphyria cutanea <redacted because the gamefaqs swear filter is awful>. Both drugs have in-vitro activity against SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and other coronaviruses, with hydroxychloroquine having relatively higher potency against SARS-CoV-2 [1,4,5]. A study in China reported that chloroquine treatment of COVID-19 patients had clinical and virologic benefit versus a comparison group, and chloroquine was added as a recommended antiviral for treatment of COVID-19 in China [6]. Based upon limited in-vitro and anecdotal data, chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine are currently recommended for treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in several countries. Both chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine have known safety profiles with the main concerns being cardiotoxicity (prolonged QT syndrome) with prolonged use in patients with hepatic or renal dysfunction and immunosuppression but have been reportedly well-tolerated in COVID-19 patients.

Due to higher in-vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2 and its wider availability in the United States compared with chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine has been administered to hospitalized COVID-19 patients on an uncontrolled basis in multiple countries, including in the United States. One small study reported that hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with azithromycin reduced detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in upper respiratory tract specimens compared with a non-randomized control group but did not assess clinical benefit [7]. Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin are associated with QT prolongation and caution is advised when considering these drugs in patients with chronic medical conditions (e.g. renal failure, hepatic disease) or who are receiving medications that might interact to cause arrythmias.

Hydroxychloroquine is currently under investigation in clinical trials for pre-exposure or post-exposure prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and treatment of patients with mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19. In the United States, several clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine for prophylaxis or treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection are planned or will be enrolling soon.

Killing demons with glory kills gives you health.
Using chainsaw gives you ammo.
The chainsaw has self regenerating fuel.

This makes the game infinitely more enjoyable for me, I didn't like having to worry about running out of ammo like in some horror survival games. It doesn't make sense (why would killing a demon give you health? How do demons become ammo if you use the chainsaw?) but it's fun

IIRC the flame thrower also gives you armor if you kill an enemy that's on fire. Rather than regenerating health or hunting for health and ammo, they've basically perfected a means of keeping you in combat as long as possible while still giving the player control over their resources. It's brilliant.

I thought it was only groups of more than 10. How in the hell do they expect us to comply with this if you can't even do that?

I don't think anyone actually expects everyone to follow these rules. I think you've got a bunch of politicians tripping over each other to be the next one to announce the next big step so they can say in the next election that they took it seriously. I think any concern for the long term impact of these restrictions is offset by people in power desperately trying to avoid being accused of "not doing enough". It's why NYC, NJ, and CA are in an arms race for dumbest executive order.
