Before people go bat shit crazy with stories like these being hyped at the Washington Post and elsewhere - "Citing deaths, FDA issues warning against antimalarial drugs touted by Trump" - let's go look at what FDA actually said.
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a Drug Safety Communication regarding known side effects of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, including serious and potentially life-threatening heart rhythm problems, that have been reported with their use for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19, for which they are not approved by the FDA. These risks, which are in the drug labels for their approved uses, may be mitigated when health care professionals closely screen and supervise these patients such as in a hospital setting or a clinical trial, as indicated in the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for these drugs to treat COVID-19. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-reiterates-importance-close-patient-supervision-label-use
All the FDA has done is to remind/encourage health care professionals to closely screen and monitor patients to help mitigate risks. In other words, exercise basic care.
The FDA is NOT saying that hydroxychloroquine-plus should not be used.
I left the box of wine in the freezer to chill. When I took it out and turned on the tap, nothing came out. The wine had frozen, so I left it on the table to thaw out. When I came back there was wine all over the floor. I had forgotten to turn the tap off.
But why am I telling you this? Maybe because there are two kinds of people in the world. Those who tell embarrassing stories about themselves and those who don't. Don't trust anybody in the second group.
What about the people who don't matter? What if they find that rock? It might give them the wrong impression. Like telling graduates, "You can be anything you set your mind to be!"
My neighborhood HOA put signs up last fall at each end of a hiking/biking trail that runs through deep woods alongside a large creek. They were "Sasquatch Warning" signs. No explanation has been forthcoming from the HOA as to why, but hey, why take the chance?
what is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him? Ps. 8:4
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Mt. 10:29-31
My uncle used to take me backpacking when I was little. I can still hear him saying, “Cissin, take only pictures and leave only footprints”. I’m not sure what the actual saying is but I’m pretty sure he got the gist right.
If someone matters in a negative way, for example a burglar or an NYT columnist, do they anti-matter?"
That reminds me of a time long ago when I was on a mill startup. My Idol and a group had the fair haired boy walk up and tell us what must be done. When he walked away my mentor said, Well he really impressed me... negatively.

Athouse has turned yellow. Sad.
No fair putting these things out at 4:00 a.m.

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn...
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
Hmmm, you know how I feel about colorfully painted rocks with pithy, supportive phrases written on them.
You Matter, unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light, then you energy.
Art is blasphemy. All apostates must die.
Ann, have you let your hair grow out?
I saw a collection of painted rocks with comforting slogans painted on them and wanted to add a red-orange rock that said "Make America Great Again."
Not as a political statement of support for the President, but just to mess with people and watch their heads explode.
That is fool's gold.

Going back to the store for more wine.
Peace out.
Either somebody couldn't remember anti-matter or some French guy painted the yellow rock.
"Ann, have you let your hair grow out?"
Yes, and it was a lucky choice now that I can't go to the hairdresser.
What about the people who don't matter? What if they find that rock? It might give them the wrong impression. Like telling graduates, "You can be anything you set your mind to be!"
Currently at the Capitol in Madison.
Good and peaceful crowd enjoying our 1st amendment rights.
Don't embarrass us now, Busdriver.

"You matter" -- said without evidence, and uncorroborated.

That lyric would have been so much better with "garner."

"You matter".
It sounds so much better than "Yellow matter".
Strange!
This is litter. Hope you placed it in proper waste disposal unit.
