I’m sure the data on prophylaxis is even more scarce than treatment. Tougher variables. As far as ventilators, you either get bad and die quickly or recover quickly. Probably no chronic cases.
Absolutely. I bet that there are very few patients that make it off of a ventilator
True, there's scarce data on HCQ as a prophylactic. But there is no better option out there. We already know the side effects of this medicine since it is already a FDA approved drug. But a 3 month lockdown proposed by some experts is not an ideal solution. A lot of small businesses will go bankrupt and close. Local and state governments will lose tax money to pay the police and government employees and pensions because of mass unemployment. The US government will have to print more money to save the states from going bankrupt. More money printing will lead to hyperinflation. One thing that has consistently proven true, however, is that the biggest obstacle in effectively battling its spread and treating the afflicted has been the obtuse insistence of the political and medical establishment on blindly following their rules. If the virus is truly threatening to kill millions, as they say, they would not value procedures over saving lives. Nevertheless, they still persist. It makes one wonder why.
No matter how you want to spin it, people who suffer from the corona virus are agreeing to take an experimental drug.
My concern was with the POTUS calling an experimental treatment a "game changing cure" That statement immediately put pressure on the medical community to use it because patients and their families were going to be demanding it. And there's nothing wrong with that if there aren't any unintended consequences.
What if follow-up studies show 93% of these 'cured' come down with lung cancer 1 year later? What's going to be said then?
I think Bill Gates during a TED presentation advocated a 3-6 month lockdown. I think that's crazy and not economically feasible especially for people working paycheck to paycheck. I just want this crisis to end quickly so we can look forward to UCF football this season.
.1% with treatment across the world would be awesome. Hopefully it sticks. Now, that .1% looks familiar... what else have I seen with a .1% mortality rate with treatment?
Agreed 100%. The funny thing is that the left has taken trump's comment out of context on the "game changer" deal, and now they have to own that statement because it actually IS a game changer.
The left has been intentionally taking Trump out of context since they realized that he might win the election. You’d think that they’d get better at it, but no, no they haven’t.
That’s where this all started. A hospital realized that it’s lupus patients weren’t getting COVID. Prophylaxis is the reason someone looked at CQ in the first place.

What if I told you that the raging moron who drank fish cleaner was a rabid anti-Trump loonie who donated thousands of dollars to Democrats, including a new lefty dark money Super PAC aimed specifically at trying to attack his COVID19 response?

The Arizona woman who said that she and her 68-year-old husband ingested a substance used to clean fish tanks after hearing President Donald Trump tout chloroquine as a cure for the coronavirus has given thousands of dollars to Democratic groups and candidates over the last two years.
The woman's most recent donations, in late February, were to a Democratic PAC, the 314 Action Fund, that bills itself as the "pro-science resistance" and has vocally criticized the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic and held up her case to slam the White House.

A man willing to make the Ultimate Sacrifice for his TDS, right?
It's an emergency use authorization. In order for something to be FDA approved it has to demonstrate effectiveness to treat. This hasnt happened so its not "approved" HCQ hasn't done that yet. This is the fastest way to allow people to be test subjects if they wan to be. The problem is that C19 has a mortality rate of 1.5% or less and we don't know the mortality rate of this treatment. If every corona virus patient comes demanding this we may end up with more dead than before. We need the data of clinical trials. If I had C19 I wouldn't take this until I had no other options.
NY Dr Zelenko used it in a outpatient setting and experienced no deaths from his patients. 0 intubations. He only prescribes it to patients with no contraindications, high risk patients, and patients with high fever, coughing, and breathing issues. If used in outpatient setting, this will lower the number of patients going to the hospital/ICU. If you are healthy and experiencing just cold symptoms, he won't be prescribed this drug. NY hospitals are going through a random clinical study and the HCW's will not know if they are giving HCQ or a placebo. As with most viral diseases, it's very important to treat early to prevent very high viral load to achieve a good outcome and if reach ARDS stage, your lungs are permanently damage.
