Oregon veteran celebrates coronavirus recovery on 104th birthday thanks to Hydroxychloroquine
KATU TV ^ | April 2, 2020 | KATU Staff

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) - A local veteran is celebrating two big milestones this week. Not only is he turning 104, but he's also celebrating his recovery from coronavirus. William Lapschies lives at the Edward C. Allworth Oregon Veterans’ Home in Lebanon. He was one of at least 15 residents to tested positive for the virus last month.

William, who was diagnosed with coronavirus at the beginning of March, was very sick and after eight days took a turn for the worse. His family says they thought he might not make it.

His family says that doctors tried a couple of things - including using hydroxychloroquine - a drug used to treat malaria. Now, they say he has made a 'wonderful recovery' and continues to get better every day.

Perhaps if someone created a computer model that extrapolated from his experience, and presented it in a pdf with some university’s coat of arms, the Faucis of the world could call it “best available science”.

Of course it’s a local TV station story.. I don’t expect to see this mentioned on any MSM outlets, maybe once and that will be it.

Oregon governor Kate Brown has outlawed the use of hydroquinine in Wuhan flu patients unless they are close to death.

She apparently doesn’t want people to seek a drug endorsed by President Trump.

Your auto mechanic informs you that your car engine is 3-4 quarts low on oil.

He refuses to give you that $3 quart of oil, because you haven't blown the rings out of a cylinder or two.

After several thousand dollars worth of damage is done, THEN he'll give you the quart of oil...

I believe the drug is the best chance we have, but curious why we’re seeing nearly a 1000 a day still dying-

“Oregon governor Kate Brown has outlawed the use of hydroquinine in Wuhan flu patients unless they are close to death.”

The ignorant ass. How does she feel about tourniquets? She we hold off on applying them and watch the spurting artery go until the after hapless patient passes out?

What kind of luddite ignorance is this? If she gets breast cancer i want her to delay until it reaches her lymph nodes and spreads. THEN we can finally try everything...right as she is on the verge of death.

She’s a lesbo who never had kids. Part of the death cult known as the DNC.

Fine.

If Kate Brown contracts the Chinese virus, I wouldn’t waste hydroxychloroquine on this pathetic bitch!
