A Florida man diagnosed with coronavirus claims he was saved from certain death by an anti-malaria drug touted as a possible treatment by President Trump.

Rio Giardinieri, 52, told Los Angeles’ Fox 11 that he struggled with horrendous back pain, headaches, cough and fatigue for five days after catching COVID-19, possibly at a conference in New York.

Give it a week. It’s possible that this whole thing will guarantee the biggest landslide in presidential election history.

That simply cannot be. The man is dead because Trump prescribed a medicine that wasn't thoroughly vetted by the FDA for this disease. /s

The drug touted by the President was shown to have psychiatric side-effects when administered to U.S. serviceman decades ago. So some may face death by suffocation, or psychiatric ‘incidents’ for the rest of their lives.

Choose carefully, Grasshopper!

One of the biggest things we have to look for is how do people like him handle “the relapse” that so many have.

Will there be one?
Is he totally cured.
Will the relapse be mild or severe

Etc.

The theory is that the drug stops the RNA from replicating.If you have any of them in your system and you stop the drug will they replicate with vengenance.
Since I believe this is an escaped bioweapon anything is possible

But at least this guy isnt at deaths door.
Amy K. husband needs to ask for the drug. he is coughing up blood and tested positive

Stories schmories. This is not a gubmint bureaucracy controlled study. It’s just anecdotal. Anecdotes kill. /s/

or psychiatric ‘incidents’ for the rest of their lives.

The psychoactive effects mitigate over time and is one of the well-known consequences of long-term malarial prophylaxis.

We always have zinc tablets in our cabinet. Today I got some tonic water at the store — they had plenty — so maybe zinc with a tonic chaser could help.

I’m not sure that’s exactly the same drug. I don’t know the study you are mentioning but hydroxychloroquine was developed as a safer alternative to chloroquine which did have side effects.

HCQ is probably the most prescribed non-antibiotic drug in the world.

I used it many, many times in the military for months at a time and occasionally use it to go on safari.

While I am sure some fraction of a fraction may have weird side effects, that’s true with life.
