Do we get to keep the sports teams? Not sure Jerry would go for this one.

BOB would throw in the Texans for a Frieda Kahlo painting and a can of mild salsa.

I don't see why things would get bad in Texas. I mean it's not like they had a Lt. Governor pay the fine for a Salon Owner who openly defied the states closed shop and stay at home policy, which then showed every person in the state they could basically do whatever they wanted. I can't see ANY reason Texas would be hit worse than other states. 

Yep. My wife's aunt is a lady that is very Texas. Sent us all photos months ago bragging about eating in a restaurant with no masks and how nobody in there had masks since people in Texas aren't sheep. :/ Since they're my only personal connection to the state, I have to keep reminding myself the whole state isn't like her.

I'm really curious why Brazil is the target country to try this in.

The article doesn't state why but I believe they were chose b/c of how hard hit they were at the time phase 2's results were made public. That's what I recall at least.

That makes sense.  They're 1M+ cases and still growing exponentially.

Forgot to post this as well from a couple days ago:

Abstract

COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020. While awaiting a vaccine, several antivirals are being used to manage the disease with limited success. To expand this arsenal, we screened 4 compound libraries: a United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug library, an angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) targeted compound library, a flavonoid compound library as well as a natural product library. Of the 121 compounds identified with activity against SARS-CoV-2, 7 were shortlisted for validation. We show for the first time that the active form of Vitamin D, calcitriol, exhibits significant potent activity against SARS-CoV-2. This finding paves the way for consideration of host-directed therapies for ring prophylaxis of contacts of SARS-CoV-2 patients
