Call me an idealist, but I think the docs are trying to stockpile it so they don’t get sick as well as their nurses and assistants.

Does the author imagine that doctors have "magical" families that are just naturally immune to the coronavirus?

If a doctor's family gets sick, there's a chance he or she will get sick, and be taken off the field of battle by quarantine.

Also, a doctor will keep his or her nose to the coronavirus treatment grindstone while worrying about their at-home spouse's/childrens' falling victim to the disease. In some imaginary world...

We need the doctors and we need them healthy. And that means keeping those around them healthy.

Selfish or wise??

And it's not like they have truckloads.

See my post #21.

I don't think they're being unethical.

I think this is a Commie move to restrict the supply to the political commissars and THEIR pals, and screw the docs/their families on the front lines.

Bullsh!t from See BS. Tens of thousands have been cured of this virus using the hydroxychloroquine and Zpak. Fauci calls these tens of thousands ‘anecdotal’ evidence. Yeah, well the anecdotal PROOF is glaring at US. prescription.

Just like everything else: wait a week and there will be plenty of supply. If necessary, the military has millions of doses.

Ahhh!

Reminds me of the days of Walter Duranty, Uncle Joe and them food-hoardin' Ukrainian kulaks.

We got to stomp them hoardin' docs and their families - so what if any o' them get sick? They'll just keep working in the service of the people, damn them!

We got to make sure that Nevada governor Steve Sisolak's dacha has a nice stock o' the cure for him and his gunthugs.

For now, a pharmacist could look at his history of ordering and inventory for those long term users, and set aside that amount every month for them, and sell any excess for the virus.

No it’s not. It has a use as a prophylaxis.

I agree. Fauci doesn’t want a solution. Domcrats don’t want a solution. They love being in sky falling mode.

Yes, the 9 million doses we had as of last week and the millions more coming will run out right? Go away.

Media whoredom does as its masters tell them to do. There is not ethical media anymore. The entire hive is scum and villainy, with the exception of a very few show hosts. The ones running things do as their maters command them to do, truth and ethics be damned.

Trying to make them into the NEW kulaks

Andy Warhol had it wrong, in the future it won't be that everyone is famous for 15 minutes, but instead everyone will be the subject of "The 2 Minutes Hate".

CBS. Figures. In the insane world of the Death-Loving Liberals, a drug that cures people would be poo-poo’d by the media and Democratic politicians.

I am not 100% on the drug cocktail because it apparently only has a very few relative dosages on Coronavirus patients, but to always sandbag Trump is f-ing terrible.

The doctors that work with possible Covid patients, in the ER or ICUs should be taking it prophylactically. It should be offered to them, since the hospitals are not protecting them with n95 masks and gloves- all hospitals in the U.S. and the western world have this major, unbelievable shortage of protective equipment.

Probably so - but only so much can be "usefully" stockpiled to take care of medical personnel and their families..new demand creates shortages and ramped up production will begin to fill them if efficacy is proved.

Hell - Walmart TP shelves are still emptied as fast as shipments come in...we bought 12 'extra' rolls a week or so ago and will probably not run out for 3 months or so if we don't buy any more - 2 of us usually buy a package of the "equivalent of 48 rolls" maybe 3 times a year...I have no idea where people are storing it - one purchase takes care of spare cabinet space for a while...

I dont remember this hysteria about polio. Do you?

And there is NO CURE for polio...or any virus.

The potential treatment for this thing with these types of meds is encouraging, yet all we see is Hysteria.
