So, you’re saying that these 6,434 deaths, are NOT triple their usual death rate, for time period of China Flu, as the article states (for the one city)?

I have no idea what Brazil’s normal/average death rate (per day, etc) is.

Manaus is a city of nearly 2 million. Not a “village”

“Coronavirus In Brazil Leads To Mass Graves, Fears Country Could Become Worst-Hit In World: ‘We Are In A State Of Utter Disaster’”

Well...of course that’s what you say if you want the USA to send you pallets of cash.

Name-calling is the new substitute for thinking and rational discussion.

Why are there no pics/videos of people keeling over and piles of bodies on instagram? There were chinese virus videos of this and takes a lot to get those out of china.

No fearpers on freerepublic are akin to the screaming bats on MSNBC.

Thanks. I noticed that after I made my comment. The word "amazon" initially made me think it was some sort backwater village.

You can live in fear all you want, but don’t include me.

The crisis in Manaus could be a sign of things to come for the whole country.

Manaus is a very large population city, way up the Amazon River in the middle of nowhere.

It is visited by cruise ships and air traffic .

It could have gotten the virus from those air and cruise ship sources.

It’s still its winter season. So it is colder than in its summer season.

No I am not saying that, I’m just saying that the death toll, so far, is not that extreme.

Yeah well that can count me out. I don’t even get a flu shot. Every year the doctor tries to get me to take one, and I say no thank you. 8>)

If Hydroxychloroquine does work as a prophylaxis, I would expect them to be giving it to their citizens. Either they did and it doesn’t work, or they did not ( that is, if the alarming numbers in this article are believable ).

It will be interesting to see how the population taking the Zelenko regimen compares to those who don't.  Ukraine are also having 8 million using just Hydroxychloroquine on weekly intervals (may have various intervals/populations/dosages) as a prophylaxis.  He is also working with Stephan Hahn of the FDA.  Zelenko indicated that a paper with meta data is ready for review.  So, possible we will have Hydroxychloroquine along with Gilead's Remdesivir approved by the FDA for SARS-CoV-2.

On about March 21, and again April 12, Dr. Zalenko sent information to the President about his apparently successful treatment using Hydroxychloroquine and zinc against the virus and Azithromycin as a chaser to prevent bacterial pneumonia. For some odd reason (and one Congress should perhaps ask Fauci about), all the President and others have said is HCQ, NOTHING about the zinc. HCQ opens the cell, and zinc goes into the cell and prevents the virus from reproducing. So anyone who uses only the HCQ is setting themselves up for failure. In fact have just had a trial of HCQ on veterans at a VA hospital. They results are less that promising. SO WHY THE PERSISTENT FAILURE TO USE ZINC???

Meanwhile everyone is talking about the vaccine IN THE FUTURE. Bill Gates is financing 7 companies fast tracking development of different vaccines. How much money can be made with a successful vaccine (which might have to be renewed yearly like the flu vaccine), and how much money does a treatment with HCQ with zinc sulfate cost (if it is actually a successful treatment). https://internetprotocol.co/hype-news/2020/04/14/a-detailed-coronavirus-treatment-plan-from-dr-zelenko/

I decided to check the prices of HCQ and zinc. Zalenko recommends:
HCQ, 200 mg., 2 per day for 5 days. Bargain generics cost around 37cents a 200 mg. tablet ($3.70)
Zinc Sulfate, 220 mg., 1 per day for 5 days. Prices for 220 mg. tablets ranging from 6 to 17cents (30 to 85 cents)
POOR BIG PHARMA—never going to get rich at those prices.

I take 25MG of zinc daily.

Zinc

General: Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) quantities of zinc have been established for boys and men age 14 and older, 11 mg/day; women 19 and older, 8 mg/day; pregnant women 14 to 18, 13 mg/day; pregnant women 19 and older, 11 mg/day; lactating women 14 to 18, 14 mg/day; lactating women 19 and older, 12 mg/day. Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) of zinc for people who are not receiving zinc under medical supervision: adults 19 years and older (including pregnancy and lactation), 40 mg/day. The typical North American male consumes about 13 mg/day of dietary zinc; women consume approximately 9 mg/day. Different salt forms provide different amounts of elemental zinc. Zinc sulfate contains 23% elemental zinc; 220 mg zinc sulfate contains 50 mg zinc. Zinc gluconate contains 14.3% elemental zinc; 10 mg zinc gluconate contains 1.43 mg zinc.
