A combination of anti-malaria drug Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), the generic name is Plaquenil, and Azithromycin appear to be effective in treating COVID-19 patients.
While Dr. Anthony Fauci wants to wait for studies that could take up to a year, there simply isn’t time.
Anecdotal evidence from several countries, including China and France, suggest it is effective.

I don't trust that man. He was a Hillary supporter in 2016. I suspect he hopes a Democrat replaces President Trump in 2021 and so doesn't want him to be able to take any credit for ending this crisis this year.
What the hell is faucki waiting for? He’s still in love with Hillary.
Fauci has said that he would prescribe hyrdoxychloroquine.
Is the real contributing factor for his stance that he will not see profits from higher price drug sales. IMHO, this guy cannot be trusted
If you get sick talk to a doctor.
You might want to read about the zinc ionphores:
Chloroquine is inflammatory is not a good for the blood to clear out the cell area.
Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-inflammatory an is what should be used. This is the drug Trump is suggesting
Quercetin is an anti-inflammatory and can be found in some foods
(Both Hydroxychloroquine and Quercetin are in a hydroxyl group (Base))
200 mg Hydroxychloroquine 3xday for 10 days
500 mg Azithromycin /day for 10 days
zinc 220 mg for 10 days
Azithromycin is for infection if you have a lung infection. Blood should be slightly alkaline which is difficult the body does uses buffers to keep your PH neutral.
Zinc ionphores are in early studies not only killing the infected cells by SARS-CoV-2. The other things this does seems almost to good too believe.

Neither do I. Back in January he said we have noting to worry about, now we have this mess. How can you be so wrong.
Even to a person like me with no medical background, it was easy to see the ChiComs had something going on they weren’t telling the truth about.
And how did our multi-agency intelligence apparatus miss it? Another question to ask in the post mortem. There was no Jack Ryan noticing the battery consumption.
Of course it works!
Everyone knows it works. Everyone has known since Trump mentioned it. Why isn’t it being rolled out universally (looks like early use is particularly effective)?
Toilet paper!
Yes, look at the run on toilet paper. Missing on our shelves for weeks.
I believe that the government is slow rolling the science so they can get production revved up; if Fauci (enough of his doomsday nonsense) had agreed with Trump, there would be a worldwide shortage of Hydroxychloriquine; instead they are playing these “clinical studies” games to get millions produced. (This is my conspiracy hope!)
One company from Isreal shipped 4 million pills; one in the US 30 million pills. Not enough.
This is the treatment. This works. Let’s force production, accept the facts, treat the positive cases immediately and get the hell back to work; before there is no work to go back to!
Anecdotal evidence from several countries, including China and France, suggest it is effective.
The reason that fauci wants to wait is simple.
When people see the positive effect of the drug that has been in use since 1945 they will ax the good doctor, "Why didn't you guys try this early on"?
Since the positive effects will make the doctor look bad, he will drag his feet and throw shade on this solution.
It's all about how smart he is. He is a never Trumper and is doing a good job at appearing to be "fair".
Those who look at the death toll as a percentage of those hospitalized must come to the conclusion that the virus is a ravaging our populace and so we must continue social distancing even at the cost of bankrupting ourselves. Therefore we must continue social distancing because every life is priceless.
Those who look at the death toll as a percentage of those infected, or even better yet, as a percentage of the whole population, insist that we are imprisoning ourselves in our own ideology and our panic will lead to tyranny and financial ruin.
There are two additional factors which should lead us to salvation: 1) the victims are generally aged or infirm or possessed of a precondition such as diabetes, pre-diabetes, overweight, heart disease etc. 2) hydroxychloroquin and Azithromycin are already widely in use and widely effective, according to more than anecdotal reports in curbing the death rate.
The hospital experience for a coronavirus patient is not a pleasant one. The statistics are frightening, only one in five survives who requires a ventilator. Yet the evidence is mounting that the combination of hydroxychloroquin and Azithromycin in a huge percentage of cases obviates the necessity for assisted breathing because the course of diseases is interdicted. The reports are coming in from China, France, New Jersey and New York all confirming the efficacy of this drug cocktail.
Even better, evidence is mounting that these drugs when used in combination act as a prophylaxis not only for healthcare providers but for the general population, at least that part of the population which is aged infirm etc. These are the people who should get these drugs so that they are protected.
What do we draw from these facts? Well first, our quarantine policy is the tail wagging the dog. We should be quarantining the elderly and the infirm and sending the young and healthy back into employment and into society. We should be taking the risk of widely deploying these two drugs as prophylaxis because the risks in taking them are far, far less than the risks to society, including risks to life on a wholesale basis, of our present policy which is leading the bankruptcy and wholesale social dislocation with the inevitable ensuing tyranny. The side effects of hydroxychloroquin are known and quite manageable, nor has its widespread use in this pandemic with Azithromycin lead to any large number of reports of negative side effects.
The downside is negligible, the upside is nearly infinite with benefits to health and benefits to the economy. The turning point is now, all the risks of deploying these drugs and ending social distancing must be accepted because the risks of continuing down the path we are on are undeniably catastrophic. This last utterly profligate legislation demonstrates that we are going to spend ourselves into oblivion and wreck our economy. We must act now.
This morning on Fox and Friends it was noted that the drugs are outlawed in New York in the face of several studies and trials proving the treatment is effective
Brian Kilmeade accused New York of playing politics rather than treat people
Partially Fake News: NY Executive Order No. 10 (dated o3/23/20) reads in Part as follows: "No pharmacist shall dispense hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine except when written as prescribed for an FDA-approved indication; or as part of a state approved clinical trial related to COVID-19 for a patient who has tested positive for COVID-19, with such test result documented as part of the prescription. No other experimental or prophylactic use shall be permitted, and any permitted prescription is limited to one fourteen day prescription with no refills." At the time the Benito Cuomo issued his illegal Executive Order, the FDA has not approved the drugs for treating the Chinese Wuhan Flu and therefore, prescribing the drugs would have been illegal in NY except as part of a clinical trial. However, on March 30, the FDA approved the drugs for treating the virus and as a result, the Executive Order is a nullity.
I also note that by Executive Order No. 11 (dated 03/27/20), Benito Cuomo authorized the use of the drugs in situations that qualify for compassionate care under federal law.
So yes, Benito tried to screw us with his illegal executive order, but he got trumped when the FDA approved the drugs for use in treating the Chinese Wuhan Virus.
Also note the contradiction: If a red state governor used an executive order to make abortion illegal, Cuomo would be screaming "Her body, her choice," and that "the state has no business interfering in the relationship between a woman and her physician."
Your post bears repeating.
Thanks for that.
In the discussions I witnessed it seem that very recently, as in now, Doctors and pharmacists were in actual practice not selling or prescribing the drugs.
Regarding Fake News. Perhaps, but Brian KIlmeade is a very reliable source and he was not contradicted buy Steve or Ainslie.
Perhaps it will all break lose today
Yes...been pointing this out for days. Cuomo’s EO outlaws most NYS people from getting these meds. Cuomo is a scumbag.
