Countries using HCQ early compared to USA in outpatient use. I posted a news story for one of countries listed. Here's one if you're lazy to search: https://www.google.com/amp/s/englis...o-use-Hydroxychloroquine-to-treat-coronavirus
It’s not a cure. However, the side effects are definitely overstated. Possibly due to the age of the patient’s receiving it and their existing comorbidities. Lupus patients are often younger and many don’t have a lot of other separate health issues. Some do
Turkey's pneumonia cases dropping after early HCQ use:
I would take the drug if I contracted the virus. Especially if it was serious. I’m wondering if Boris Johnson received it
Likely they were only testing the very sickest early on. Only 15% of Covid patients get pneumonia. So unless there is a reason for 60% of a population to have it I won't be convinced by a drop from 60-20. Unless HQC use lead to a pneumonia rate of like 8% and we can show that this is just an example of how data can be manipulated to prove a point.
Why? Pneumonia is an immune response to bacteria or viral infection. Id be willing to bet that on average, 90% of people who die of this have a form of pneumonia. The remaining 10% die of heart, brain, or kidney complications.
Not even the WH is pushing this anymore but you're right in character being too difficult to admit that it's not turned out effective.
What do you think people that get covid-19 are dying of? Their lungs fill up with fluid due to the immune response. Thats what pneumonia is. The few that don't and die have cardiac issues or kidney failure from it. Its not like pneumonia is a separate disease.
Well it could be a deal where middle eastern people are more prone to serious symptoms, like with MERS. Who knows. We do know that this hit Iran pretty hard so it isn't out of the realm of possibility
So you are definitively saying that demographics and genetics have no bearing on this virus? I'll be sure to tell the black community that they are no more likely to get sickle-cell anemia than white people.
I thought Trump couldn’t get any batshit crazier. I was wrong. This guy is certifiably nuts.
Mike,
He’s basically taken out of context. He’s saying that we need something to cleanse the blood like a disinfectant. You guys jump on his EVERY WORD
"So supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just a very powerful light — and I think you said that hasn't been checked because of the testing," Trump said, speaking to Bryan during the briefing. "And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too."
He SAID IT WORD FOR WORD what are you ****ing talking about? Why is every dumb thing Trump says secretly a riddle that needs to be solved?
is this suposed to validate something. That's literally him saying we should inject disinfectant.
It’s a layperson talking medical. Kind of like injecting chemotherapy into the body or limb infusion to try to treat malignant melanoma
