Except, that's not what he said . . . Stepping to the podium after Trump spoke, the FDA commissioner, Dr. Stephen M. Hahn, praised the president for removing regulations that would otherwise slow the approval of the drug for expanded use, but said tests were continuing in the U.S. “What’s also important is not to provide false hope,” Hahn said. “We may have the right drug, but it might not be in the appropriate dosage form right now, and it might do more harm than good.”" https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-03-19/trump-touts-unproven-coronavirus-remedies

I can see them. It would appear the recipes for "no-knead" are similar; just a bit of difference in technique. As mentioned earlier, I like Steve Gamelin's approach, not so much wait time (12 hours) and he does a ton of recipes with no-knead including cinnamon bun/rolls.

The FDA has been working closely with other government agencies and academic centers that are investigating the use of the drug chloroquine, which is already approved for treating malaria, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, to determine whether it can be used to treat patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 to potentially reduce the duration of symptoms, as well as viral shedding, which can help prevent the spread of disease. Studies are underway to determine the efficacy in using chloroquine to treat COVID-19. “President Trump’s aggressive response and bold actions to keep Americans safe from COVID-19 bought us precious time to advance therapeutics and other necessary tools,” said HHS Secretary Alex Azar. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-continues-facilitate-development-treatments

I bought a similar set, but in the Calphalon. I screwed it up though. Even though they say it's "Dishwasher Safe;" it's not. After about six months the outside coating started to wear off and once it started there was no stopping it. I like to cook and try new things, but not having much of a sweet tooth never really bothered with cakes and stuff. I like to make a good heart-healthy dinner. We don't use processed or packaged food. In part, I think (IMO) there's too many preservatives along each step in the food chain. We're fortunate in being able to go to the local Farmers Market for fresh everything and about the only thing I'll use from a package is pasta. To your point of measuring - that's one of the reasons I like Kent Rollins. He'll pour dry ingredients in his hand while saying "'bout a teaspoon and a half" that looks right about there. His other saying is, "You can't get full on fancy." Tonight, I'm thinking beef stroganoff before it gets too warm outside and flip to a much lighter fare in the Spring. EDIT: And your bread looks awesome. I'd tear me off a chunk, throw a bit of butter on it and go to town. EDIT2: Doc just told me something last night that cracked me up. "About half of us are going to come out of this coronavirus as drunks and the other half as great cooks, but very few will come out both."

It just amazes me how I can watch the entire speech and then see it get twisted and out of context in the written media for an obvious agenda. What he said was [paraphrase] The states need to be able to go directly to the suppliers for medical equipment instead of through the federal government. We don't need to be a shipping clerk for the states. They need to go directly to the source. [/paraphrase] Damn. No bias in Politico.

I would say 99% of my cooking is done my assortment of cast iron ware. Breads, cobblers and most of all - one pan dinners. I use a teflon pan for eggs and stainless steel for tomato-based sauces though. Just like a carpenter; right tool for the right job. Soon as I get a new cast iron something; I'll go out to the garage and grind it smooth on the inside bottom. Season it a few times with bacon grease to get it good hard and to get it slick. One of my favorite cooks to watch on youtube is Kent Rollins out of Oklahoma. He does everything is cast iron. For cast iron breads, Steve Gamelin got me started and now its like second nature to do something more creative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4DQLB7_U1Q

Thank you.

You're not in the habit of asking rhetorical questions.

"We'll be invoking the Defense Production Act, just in case we need it," Trump told reporters at a White House news conference. "It can do good things if we need it." Hours later Trump signed an executive order formalizing that decision. https://www.npr.org/2020/03/18/818069722/trump-invokes-a-cold-war-relic-the-defense-production-act-for-coronavirus-shorta

I got one too. It was just a link to a video of Trump talking 2 years ago about discontinuing the White House "pandemic" office, from The Independent. Facebook was marking legitimate news articles about the coronavirus as spam due to a software bug https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/17/21184445/facebook-marking-coronavirus-posts-spam-misinformation-covid-19

I disagree.

No surprise.

Morning, Professor. I meant that this is the second time you posted it right after I said something to Brent. I knew what you meant and was "trying" to explain that I would stop feeding the trolls. You know, for as much as we all argue on here - I hope everyone is safe and cautious. Keith

Second time you've bitch-slapped me with this. Stubborn mode OFF.

All true, Bill. It's a start. I think we can all agree that politicizing this football is not a good game to play. As you expressed; strong leadership from the CDC along with Gowlerk's comment of a collaborative environment . . . let's move forward together, cautiously with determination & focus. As with just about every disaster, it's the panic. We do a lessons learned after each one and then I swear; someone shelves it and we never really learn from the last one.

RIght in front of you. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2018/02/polar-bears-starve-melting-sea-ice-global-warming-study-beaufort-sea-environment/ https://www.nationalgeographic.org/thisday/may14/polar-bear-listed-threatened/

I think we can all agree that Trump has fumbled the ball in the area of communications from the first day he lay his fingers on twitter; to not using his Communications Director, Press Secretary or Speech Writer. If we look at his extemporaneous speech methodology compared with that or Trudeau's or many other world leaders; it's easy to see the importance of the communications roles.

I double-checked it again this morning and this was still true. I sent Dr. Gardner (Team Leader) an email of inquiry. They're pretty busy, so it may take a while.

Begging the question - How happy were they when you left? I'm on a roll today.

So, this is what? Your tenth end of the world?

Well realize; they have a lot of ground to cover quickly. Here's the daily report: https://clustrmaps.com/coronavirus/
