Laura Ingraham interviews Drs. Risch and Oskoui.
Maybe better video quality at Yahoo.
Summary:
Risch -- Authorities demand "Go home, stay home, and if you can't breathe, THEN go to the hospital. ... That's not a form of treatment, that's what we call 'therapeutic nihilism.'" Doesn't work. Makes people too sick to be treated effectively. FDA, NIH, CDC all corrupted. Have misstated and misrepresented both the benefits and the (relative lack of) risks of the (unnamed -- presumably HCQ and Ivermectin) drugs. Poorer countries are using them effectively -- FIVE TIMES lower mortality than we have -- because using those cheap drugs is all they can afford to do.
ND, SD, IA approaching herd immunity.
Oskoui -- Masks relatively ineffective according to peer-reviewed literature. Mt. Sinai Paris Island study of Marines; Danish mask study in Annals of Internal Medicine; Cochrane analysis; May CDC Guidance on Non-pharmacological measures.
Believes possible role of oral-fecal spread is being neglected; Oxford University Center for Evidence-Based Medicine white paper.

Linear versus exponential growth:
A more transmissible variant of COVID-19 is a potential catastrophe in and of itself. If anything, given the stage in the pandemic we are at, a more transmissible variant is in some ways much more dangerous than a more severe variant. That’s because higher transmissibility subjects us to a more contagious virus spreading with exponential growth, whereas the risk from increased severity would have increased in a linear manner, affecting only those infected.
Increased transmissibility can wreak havoc in a very, very short time—especially when we already have uncontrolled spread in much of the United States. The short-term implications of all this are significant, and worthy of attention, even as we await more clarity from data. In fact, we should act quickly especially as we await more clarity—lack of data and the threat of even faster exponential growth argue for more urgency of action. If and when more reassuring data come in, relaxing restrictions will be easier than undoing the damage done by not having reacted in time.

A new strain first detected in South Africa is going gangbusters.
Its rise has led to dozens of countries imposing bans on travelers who recently have been in South Africa, including the United States.On Thursday, officials in South Carolina announced the discovery of two cases of the variant from South Africa, the first in the United States. The cases were in people with no history of travel to South Africa, which the officials said implied that community spread of the variant was already underway.
