You gotta love that green line:
From the French study, here:

..A group of patients who were among the first in Australia with confirmed cases of coronavirus have been successfully treated using two existing drugs.
They were given HIV medication Kaletra and malaria treatment hydroxychloroquine in a secret trial.
The test was so successful that the same drugs will now be given to COVID-19 patients in 50 hospitals around Australia.
The two drugs were highly effective when used against coronavirus in test tubes.
Researchers then conducted a secret trial on the group of patients - all of whom have completely recovered.
University of Queensland Centre for Clinical Research Director Professor David Paterson - who is also Consultant Infectious Diseases Physician at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital - was part of the team that made the discovery.
'These medications have the potential to be a real cure for all, unlike the random anecdotal experiences of some people,' Professor Paterson said.

Right. Off label use is legal. Malpractice issues are doubtful in this situation.
Nope, the Keletra half of this trial is worthless for COVID-19. See info in this link:
Any success in this thread’s trial is owed to the other half of the trial medication “cocktail” Hydroxychloroquine.
So stick to the PROVEN 6-day course of Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin to treat COVID-19.
I heard one doctor actually use real science. He stated that we have to perform double-blind studies to really determine what works. Hallelujah!
FDA not needed. These drugs are already approved for other conditions and can be ordered by any physician for any use they deem appropriate

See post 42 up thread.
Yes, there was a doctor on FNC the other night from Lenox Hill Hospital in NY. He stated they had treated almost 100 patients under “compassionate use” so far, and that other NY hospitals were doing the same. I’m sure once approved, thousands of patients started receiving the drugs. I would think with Novartis’ donation, there should be a decent supply entering the system.
The hydroxychloroquine yes. I just read somewhere the manufacturer made a gift of 3 million tablets. The kaletra I’m. not so sure. It’s used to treat HIV which isn’t a huge market.
You are correct
Good to see heavy doses of antimalarials in the pipeline. I haven’t seen anything on azithromycin supplies but presume Trump is working that issue as well.
You gotta love that green line:
From the French study, here:
We have to approve it to see if it works.
Somebody please lead Me to the EYEWASH STATION !!!!
!!!! Fugly Witch Warning Required !!!!
The perfect storm to bring down Trump was generated in China and the DNC. By crashing the US economy, the evil Trump will be defeated.
The Chinese invested $1.5 Billion with the Bidens to buy influence. Dr. Fauci is on board with making this crises last long enough to bring the Dow below Obama's 2009 numbers.
Dr. Fauci will dictate that the FDA demand testing of any drug used for the treatment of COVID-19. He would rather have patients die from COVID-19 rather than risk them being hurt by unproven drugs.
I would normally have a /sarc to turn off sarcasm but I'm not sure that is necessary here. Fauci's love letter about Hillary Clinton shows he could very well be on board with the coup plotters. Is this what is happening? Let's see what the good Dr. does to shut down hydroxychloroquine use.
Kaint use it here, Dr. FauxChi said “No”. You must have long, double blind trials, 18 months of money-making by pharmaCos, etc. etc. etc.
this needs to be publicized and/or sent to the White House task force-we need to get the FDA moving aggressively like this
Azithromycin is a common antibiotic prescribed for those with penicillin allergies (myself included), so I have a feeling there's already a pretty decent supply of that already available.
Dr. Fauci will consult with Rep. Adam Schiff to determine if any charges are brought against you. Let's just say that Nanzi Pelosi is not pleased. /sarc
Novartis is donating 130 Million. 50 Million already manufactured.
Novartis to donate malaria drug in fight against coronavirus
There are numerous manufacturers and many will be ramping up to fill the need.
Sounds great! Can we get that started right now?
I think very few people hope that the French study's results will not be replicated.
