Comment Consider that the drug companies are ramping up (Score 1) 236

Mylan and Novartis are greatly ramping their production of hydrochloroquine (trade name Plaquenil) without considering the small scale hoarding. Big pharma thinks there's something to this, why wouldn't physicians?

That also means that this is a short term supply chain issue and not a longer term shortage for people having trouble finding their meds. Those kinds of shortages have been more common in recent years as numerous drugs have had short term recalls.

Comment The Star Wars universe has always been impractical (Score 1) 390

but it clearly just gets worse in the future. There's no doubt there will be plenty of catwalks with no guard rails and plenty of other Imperial style over substance. It's remarkable though that light sabers just get more treacherous to use. The flaming laser guard on the evil light saber in the teaser looks like a great way to lose and arm and frankly just didn't look all that cool. After not really understanding Star Trek and what made it amazing, JJ Abrams will bring his special brand of ruination to the Star Wars franchise. Thanks, Disney. Thanks.
