Fine, if you test positive you can take any meds your doctor may prescribe, I will treat it like any virus, rest, keep warm, and let the fever break.
“yes BUT more money is to be made, and more people to die...and vaccines are imposed.”
Thanks for accepting my apology, again, I’m truly sorry.
Besides the media’s contempt for Trump, why do you think there’s so much pushback from some in the medical community in regards to the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and the treatment regimen we know does work?
It is baffling to me and I would be interested to know your opinion on the subject since you are a professional in the field.
It has already been studied in Australia and found to help, as well as other countries.
One could argue that correlation does not mean causality, but when multiple doctors and countries try the same combination and seemingly nothing else being different, it starts to mean it is causality.
Then I will let the Mayo Clinic slap you silly:
“Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak that originated in China.”

This is a serious mis-reading of the original study and leads to very damaging and dangerous conclusion.
Chloroquine has and is still emerging as one of the most effective treatments for COV-19.
Emotions for or against the efficacy of Chloroquine must be eliminated from an objective examination.
A wealth of solid medical scrutiny attests to the effectiveness of Chloroquine.
Here is the direct quotation from the study in question:
Conclusion
Chloroquine, a relatively safe, effective and cheap drug used for treating many human diseases including malaria, amoebiosis and human immunodeficiency virus is effective in inhibiting the infection and spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. The fact that the drug has significant inhibitory antiviral effect when the susceptible cells were treated either prior to or after infection suggests a possible prophylactic and therapeutic use.
When Italy earlier this week said only three people who had died in Italy had no other known serious issue, does this mean, since there’s been no double-blind study of COVID-19, that COVID-19 is extremely unlikely to have caused practically any deaths, anywhere across the world?
I mean, we have no proof, do we?
As a clinician I guess you know everything and there isn’t anything else for you to learn. Do you think that might change if a member of your family was laying in the hospital on a respirator?
You guys, have fun. You have a new volunteer to answer your questions. He has 20 years of Pulmonology experience. Please direct all inquiries to him. He has volunteered to take over. Have a good week end, stay safe.
MHGinTN, do note that wastoute has a great many years in military service as a very senior medical professional.
I agree with an outcome based expectation. That is very reasonable.
It’s Happy HOur guys. Did you know that once upon a time there was an “I bar” at Ft Benning where girls danced in bikinis? Don’ t put your cover on the bar.
Not all of them. A non-tiny minority are indeed caused by a few kinds of Coronaviruses.
Some drugs help more than one category of disease. Antimalarials were empirically discovered to have side benefits for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus back in the 50s.
Quinidine is indeed chemically related to chloroquine/hydoxychloroquine and has actually itself been used for treatment of malaria in patients who couldn’t take pills. Unlike the others it’s available for IV use.
Sort of like John Hopkins derailing Dr. Ko’s research into the cancer-killing CHEAP drug 3BP so they could modify it slightly and make a fortune. JH is owned by Legion for they are many. See who funds them.

Dr. Ko trying to restart progress 20 years later, thanks JH.
I am retired.
Found this study last week and YES 4 authors worked for the CDC in 2005. Why the CDC could not do a keyword search is unforgivable!
I am so screwed. I have the trifecta going for me that I'll die if I get this thing:
1. On Heart Medication;
2. Humira, which represses my immune system;
3. High CRP (and I'm 57.)
I'm screwed. Oh well, if that's how it is, that's how it is. I'm toasting Friday anyway! Screw You DEATH!
